The multi-award winning Chutney Express has added another jewel to its crown.
Its latest win came at the English Curry Awards where it beat off stiff competition to be named Best Takeaway in the West Midlands.
And if that wasn't enough, the Indian takeaway also received the industry seal of approval this month when it grabbed a finalist spot at the 12th annual British Curry Awards.
The prestigious awards, also known as the Curry Oscars, are one of the most important in the food industry and had the likes of Alistair McGowan, Sarah Ferguson and Heston Blumenthal in attendance.
Throughout the year, Chutney Express, based in Castle Bromwich, has been scooping up gongs at prestigious ceremonies around the country.
It was voted the Best Local Curry House in Birmingham in the Mail’s King of Curry Awards.
The popular takeaway has made its mark and seen great success, despite only opening in 2013.
Manager Sohel Ahmed believes the recipe for the Chutney Express success is simple – quality food.
He said: “Our chefs offer a taste experience beyond the ordinary with our food.
“All food is freshly prepared using only the finest ingredients, all expertly blended with exquisite aromatic herbs and spices.
“Our fully open-plan kitchen reassures you of the high hygiene level, and you can actually sit and watch us prepare your food freshly made to order.
“It is honest, fresh and finger-licking Indian food delivered piping hot to your doorstep.
“I have a passion for food and competitions like these can prove the talent we have in producing the very best.”
The Chutney Express menu features a wide selection of Indian food.
The signature dishes include the Kalia – a barbecued chicken cooked with black peppercorn, chef's homemade special sauce (£5.95) – and the Bollywood Burner, which is a hot and spicy dish, cooked with baby peppers, chillies and homemade massala with a choice of chicken, meat, prawns or king prawns (from £5.95).
Customers will also find a great selection of baltis, which the takeaway proudly boasts were "Invented In Birmingham" (from £5.20).
And the chef’s specialities include: Sylheti Chicken Jalfrezi – spicy aromatic curry made with a blend of 21 sundried spices, flavoured with coriander, green chillies and capiscum (£5.70); and Chicken or Meat Palak Paneer – Spinach and Indian cottage cheese cooked with medium spices, greem chilles and garlic (£5.95)
