A Barnsley restaurant has been judged not just the best in South Yorkshire - but also better than any in Humberside as well.

 

It was double delight for the Dil Raj in Dodworth at the finals of the national Asian Curry awards.

 

The restaurant was named best restaurant and chef Mohammed Al Aman was also named best chef in South Yorkshire and Humberside.

 

Owner Miron Rahman said the double victory at the ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel in London's Park Lane was 'absolutely wonderful'.

 

Miron has owned the Dil Raj , based in the former Horse and Jockey pub in Dodworth, for the past ten years.

 

He said: "We pride ourselves on the quality of our food and that has been reflected in winning these two top trophies."
