A CHEF from Alcombe was voted one of the best in the UK at the 2016 Curry Life Magazine Awards held in London.
Jubar Ahmed, who is head chef at the Alcombe Tandoori, was one of 24 chefs to receive official recognition for their contribution to an industry worth more than £4.2 billion a year.
Jubar said: “To win this title is the greatest vote of confidence I could wish for, not just for myself but for my team who work so hard to make things happen at the Alcombe Tandoori.
“The award will inspire us to keep improving and I’d also like to thank all our customers for their help putting us on the map.”
The evening was hosted by Celebrity Masterchef finalist, journalist and broadcaster Louise Minchin.
