Brackley chef picks up top gong at major curry awards
A Brackley chef has been recognised at a major awards ceremony celebrating the UK’s finest curry houses and their staff.
Mohammed Kohinur of Saffron Fine Indian Dining, in Banbury Road, Brackley, was named Chef of the Year in Northamptonshire at the Euro Asia Curry Awards 2025.
The annual event honours the very best in the UK's curry industry, with awards recognising top restaurants, takeaways, newcomers and chefs.
More than 450 establishments and individuals from across the country entered the competition, with around 60 winners announced in both regional and national categories.
Saffron Fine Indian Dining said: "The Saffron has done it once more Chef Kohinur Miah has officially been crowned Chef of the Year 2025 at the prestigious Euro Asia Curry Awards!
"We’re beyond proud, grateful, and absolutely thrilled to bring this title home to Brackley again.
"This award is a true testament to Chef Kohinur’s passion, creativity, and dedication and to the incredible support from all of you who continue to dine with us, celebrate with us, and make Saffron what it is today."
This year’s ceremony was held on October 27 at the ILEC Conference Centre in West Brompton, London.
The Euro Asia Curry Awards were founded nine years ago by Bangladeshi chef and businessman Shorif Khan.
He said: “It was wonderful to be back again this year to celebrate the fantastic businesses and people that make the UK curry industry as loved as it is.
“Despite the long-term impacts of the pandemic and rising costs, these restaurants and takeaways continue to offer incredible food, service and value.
“What’s also very encouraging, is that we’ve seen a lot of new openings in the past 12 months, many of which have been honoured at this year’s awards”
