Congratulations!
It's turning into a good year for an Indian takeaway with a difference. The Vegetarian Rasoi has been crowned the 'People's Choice' winner in this year's Great Food Club Awards - months after one of the founders was honoured with a British Empire Medal.
The Great Food Club, which boasts 16,000 members across the East Midlands, presents the People's Choice Award to the biggest overall vote winner in the annual celebration of first-class food and drink across the region. "I love cooking. It's that passion of cooking that drives me to do this every week. I'm the eldest of five siblings and having to help mum in the kitchen from a very young age, it becomes part and parcel of the daily routine to cook meals. That's where the passion and inspiration started. Mum's a fantastic cook and she loves innovating and experimenting with spices and coming up with really nice dishes.
It's not just adults who enjoy the food - children are happy eaters, too. "We have a very good young client base. The idea started a couple of years ago where I wanted kids to enjoy the meals as well as a family." It was her work with Guru Nanak's Mission, cooking hot meals for the homeless and people in need both in the city centre and at home, that led to her being awarded a British Empire Medal for services to the Sikh community. She said: "I'm really blessed, I feel so humbled by how things have changed. I never thought when I was working at Experian that I would ever reach this far but it's been an incredible journey and so nice and humbling to reap the awards.
