A restaurant in Barrow is relying on support from the local community to help it pick up a new award.

Last month, The Mail began its search for the best curry house of 2024 - building on the success of other recent award campaigns.

This saw readers nominate their favourite places when it comes to a bit of spice - with 10 finalists named from those results.

The finalists have been vying for votes from the public for over a week now - and you can submit yours by picking up a copy of The Mail before Saturday, November 9.

Each print copy of The Mail comes with a voting form, which can then be sent in by Wednesday, November 13.

The business offers customers the option to dine in and enjoy their food hot off the grill, or they can bring their food home for that perfect Friday night takeaway.

One local said: "Absolutely amazing place - the lady at the front desk is always so welcoming, we had to wait for our food for a bit so she served us drinks for free.

"That just shows the staff truly care about the customers, and food is spot on too."

Another customer added: "We dine here often and the food is always fresh and delicious when we do.

"The curries are always fragrant and full of flavour, and the service is pretty fast and you're not waiting too long.

"Cannot fault the food or the staff here, we always have a great experience when we visit."
