The black-tie evening, presented by Khokhar McAdam, will take place on April 15 April at Glasgow’s Marriott Hotel, honouring the curry houses from across Scotland delivering quality curries and top customer service.
Scottish Curry Day will be celebrated nationwide as a day for people to visit their favourite curry restaurants, make a curry at home, learn new recipes, visit their neighbours, and it will provide restaurants and takeaways with an opportunity to market themselves.
CEO of Oceanic Consulting, event organisers, Irfan Younis, said: “The Scottish Curry Awards are very dear to my heart as they were one of the first events ever organised by Oceanic Consulting. I’ve watched them grow each year and the campaign evolve to include the English Curry Awards and the London Curry Awards, and I’m especially excited about the launch of Scottish Curry Day this year, which will remind us all why we feel in love with the dish all those years ago.”
