A Hoxton restaurateur has called for Asian restaurant magazine, Spice Times, to create a nationwide competition after winning their London takeaway restaurant of the year award for the second consecutive year. More than 2,000 customers voted for the Pitfield Street Indian takeaway, Tiffin Express.
Owner Sahedur Rahman said: “I think we clearly walked away with it. We could easily compete on a national scale - I’m so confident I wrote to the Spice Times to ask for it.”
He added: “the award is good for the staff. You can see the increase in morale and they all enjoy working here.”
The family run business has seen a 15% increase in custom since their 2010 victory and Mr Rahman puts a large part of their success down to the open plan layout.
“Customers can see the kitchen, how clean it is and exactly what we are doing to their food. And of course the quality of our food matches our value.”
The restraunt’s speciality is the Beef Ka Baddashi, a beefsteak cooked in a strong blend of aromatic spices finished with “chef’s special touch”. It costs £8.95.
Ellie Slee described the restaurant as “BRILLIANT. You make Pitfield Street less of a pit.” Matt Irvine said: “You can smell this place from 100 yards in any direction. And the food tastes as good as it smells – excellent.”
