The West Sussex saucery, which is situated on St Pancras, Chichester, has won this prestigious award at the Asian Curry Awards for the third year in a row and for a grand total of six times.

Tan Ahmed, owner of India Gate, said: ‘Wow, this is unbelievable and full of surprise! We came to the event shortlisted for the Best Asian Restaurant in South East of England so when the winner for this region was announced we were completely disheartened.

Winning this award for the sixth time means that India Gate will now target the international curry scene and will take part in the world wide awards in Monaco next year.

India Gate said that it would like to thank all of its customers 'for their constant support and loyalty during a tough year with the lockdown'. "We experienced a lot of uncertainty

throughout the year, so this award really helps reinforce how our hard work was worth it!"
