British-Bangladeshi restaurants win double at UK regional awards
Two British-Bangladeshi restaurants owned by Zak Ahmed have scooped prestigious honours at the North East Bangladeshi Awards for championing authentic national cuisine.
Two dining establishments dedicated to authentic Bangladeshi cuisine have scooped top honours at this year's North East Bangladeshi Awards in Northumberland. Popular Berwick eatery Amran's secured Northumberland's Best Indian Restaurant title for the third consecutive year at the prestigious ceremony.
Meanwhile, sister restaurant Kaani by Amran's in Morpeth was named Best Indian Restaurant in the Northern Vale, less than twelve months after launching on Bridge Street. Co-owner Zak Ahmed praised the recognition, expressing honour at winning accolades for celebrating traditional cuisine across the region.
While the majority of traditional UK curry houses are run by people of Bangladeshi heritage, Ahmed's venues prominently showcase national identity with green and red branding. Following their rapid success, the team is now expanding with a new takeaway venture, Kaani Express, in Morpeth town centre.
