London's popular Indian diner, Chutney Mary has won the title of Restaurant of the Year at the annual AA Hospitality Awards, which celebrates the UK’s top restaurants, hotels, spas, and pubs.
It is worth noting this restaurant is 33 years old and is a favourite spot of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and is frequented by numerous celebrities.
Camellia Panjabi is the Indian-origin Group Director of MW Eat, the UK-based hospitality company behind Chutney Mary and other popular Indian restaurants including Michelin-starred Veeraswamy and Amaya as well as four branches of Masala Zone.
Camelia talked about this achievement and said that this award is completely unexpected, but greatly appreciated by my fellow directors and the committed long-serving team at Chutney Mary.
This fancy restaurant used to be in Chelsea for 25 years. But in 2015, it was moved to St. James's Street near the Ritz Hotel in London. The inside of the restaurant looks really fancy, and it's decorated in a way that shows the art from different parts of India. The food they serve there is modern Indian cuisine, which means it's a fresh take on traditional Indian dishes.
