A takeaway in Dalton that has customers 'coming back' for more has been nominated for an 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 nearly two weeks - 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.
