This year’s British Curry Awards ceremony is paying homage to its founder, Enam Ali MBE, who passed away earlier this year. It will also highlight the issues facing the UK curry industry during the cost-of-living and energy crises. Curry restaurateurs’ shopping bills, for example, have increased by an average of 40 per cent, while the price of oil alone has increased by more than 100 per cent.
British Curry Awards director Jeffrey Ali said: “The British Curry Awards 2022 marks the first year without our founder, the late Enam Ali MBE. For decades, he tirelessly dedicated his life towards promoting and championing the UK Curry Industry, cementing The British Curry Awards as an ‘institution’. As the natural custodian of this revered brand, we proudly strive forward with our responsibility to continue his legacy, ensuring The British Curry Awards remain the platform to inspire future generations to push the boundaries and innovate Britain's favourite cuisine.

We’re currently developing the ‘Onion Bhaji Index’, which will help consumers and business owners alike to better understand prices at their local curry establishment.”
The 2022 event will also see the introduction of the Diners Choice Award, a new category that rewards curry establishments who can engage their customers through social media. Any nominated establishment in Britain can win this award if they receive the highest number of live public votes on the night. Visit www.britishcurryawards.org.
