"It was a fantastic result.

"Most of the awards from these kinds of events tend to go towards Bradford restaurants, so it makes a change to show that Halifax is up there when it comes to dining out for Indian food.

"This myth about going for an Indian meal and 'let's get to Bradford', it's no longer there. We've stood on our own ground when it comes to food and this award just proves it."
