Naya Restaurant in Henley-in-Arden has been nominated in the Asian Curry Awards.

Dubbed the 'Curry Oscars', the national prize has revealed this year's shortlist which includes 200 venues across the country.

These will now be whittled down to the top hundred by online votes from members of the spice-loving public, deciding the eventual finalists.

These will be then assessed by a panel of judges from the Asian Catering Federation (ACF), who will determine category winners. 

The victors will be revealed at a glittering gala dinner and presentation ceremony, hosted by BBC news anchor Samantha Simmonds, being held at the Grosvenor House in London on Sunday 19 November.

Serving dishes from Bangladesh and India, Naya on High Street was also nominated in last year's awards.

"We're seeing some remarkable innovation by pioneering restaurateurs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences," said ACF chairman Yawar Khan.

"Afternoon chai, weekend brunch, more use of quality local produce – especially seafood and game, are now being widely served."

The Asian Curry Awards cover the complete range of Asian and Oriental cuisines: Bangladeshi, Burmese, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Middle Eastern, Pakistani, Singaporean, Sri Lankan, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Millennium Balti in Leamington Spa has also been shortlisted again.
