Reading-based takeaway Heat and Eat won the Best Takeaway category in a national restaurant awards event.

Reading Chronicle:

Heat and Eat, on Oxford Road, supplies customers with pre-cooked quality Indian meals that they can heat up and enjoy at home.

Entrepreneur and owner Mohammad Nunu was presented with the award during a gala ceremony in London’s West End at the Curry Life Awards 2023.

The evening featured 44 awards across five categories: Editor’s Choice, Best Restaurant, Best Takeaway, Best Chef, and Best Recommended Restaurant.

Mr Nunu said: “It’s fantastic to have our concept of quality pre-made meals recognised in this way. We’re so thankful to have won this award.”

The Awards were created by brothers Syed Pasha and Syed Ahmed, who came to the UK from Bangladesh in the 1970s.

They launched Curry Life magazine 20 years ago, and the first Awards were held in 2009. The brothers also organised an annual British curry festival promoting Angrezi (English) curry worldwide.

Syed Pasha said: “We travelled thousands of miles this year visiting restaurants up and down the country.

“It is the sheer determination, hard work, and positive attitude from employees and employers alike and their sheer commitment to what they do.”
