Turmeric Gold Picks Up Fourth Award In One Month

 
Multi-award winning restaurant Turmeric Gold is proving to be a real jewel in the dining crown after adding another two accolades to its fast-growing collection.

The family-run restaurant, situated in Spon Street, in the heart of Coventry's medieval quarters and in Main Street Meriden, picked up two awards at the Coventry and Warwickshire Food and Drink Awards dinner, an exclusive ceremony held at the Belfry Hotel in North Warwickshire on November 20.

The restaurant, owned by Jay Alam and his family, picked up the award for the Best Ethnic Restaurant and a second one for Excellence in Quality Customer Service.

Turmeric Gold beat off stiff competition from other restaurants considered the cream of the crop in the region to win the awards.

Organisers of the Coventry and Warwickshire Food and Drink Awards look for quality, excellence and the innovative use of local produce when selecting their winners.

Jay said he was delighted to add another two awards to his collection.

He said: "To be voted the Best Ethnic Restaurant and to receive an award for Excellence in Quality Customer Service is a testament to the hard work and dedication of my staff, and to the loyalty of our customers.

"These are our third and fourth awards in two months and they show we are not ones to be complacent or to rest on our laurels.

"We continually strive to give our customers the ultimate, not just in terms of delicious food, but the whole experience."

Last month Turmeric Gold was named among Britain's top 100 Indian restaurants at the British Curry Awards, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London's Park Lane. It was also named as a finalist for the West Midlands region in the same event.

But Jay is no stranger to success. Since it opened in 2001 Turmeric Gold has been voted the Best Restaurant in Coventry and Warwickshire by Coventry Telegraph readers.

It is also a previous winner of the Coventry and Warwickshire Food and Drink Awards' Best Ethnic Experience category and has also won accolades in Coventry and Warwickshire's own Godiva Awards.
