THE Shimla Palace, in Cowdenbeath, has been shortlisted for the Asian Restaurant Awards (Scotland) 2019.
A series of public votes have determined the finalists and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in the Sheraton Grand, in Edinburgh, on September 8.
The Scottish public selected their favourite Bangladeshi, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Malaysian and Nepalese restaurants and takeaways to narrow it down to 70 finalists and the Shimla at Central Park was well supported.
The awards are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF) which represents the nation’s 30,000 Asian and Oriental restaurants.
“The Scottish Asian Restaurant Awards 2019 promises to be an unforgettable night, where we will recognise the excellence of Asian and Oriental restaurants in Scotland,” said ACF chairman Yawar Khan.
“We will be celebrating the many different cultures and cuisines that contribute so much to the British economy.”
Andrew Kenny, managing director of Just Eat, who sponsor the awards, said: “We are delighted to support these industry awards and to see such an excellent list of Asian and Oriental restaurants on the shortlist.
"We would like to congratulate everyone nominated and look forward to seeing the winners announced at the awards dinner in Edinburgh on 8 September."
