Prana Indian Restaurant, on Mill Road, has been included on both shortlists.
The awards are described as "the most prestigious and sought-after accolades in the nation'. Eateries across the UK are nominated by the public in a wide range of different categories such as restaurant of the year, caterer of the year, and gastropub of the year, among others.
Prana is the only restaurant in the county to be nominated for Takeaway of the year category. It is hailed as one of the best Indian eateries in the city centre, with multiple award wins over the years.
Owner for Prana, Kobir Ahmed “I am delighted to hear about this news and want to thank my clients who continue to support us and allow us to support our local community. We have been closed for our summer vacation so we can’t wait to reopen shortly and launch our new menu”.
