iNaga, a popular Bangladeshi-Indian restaurant based in West Wickham, has been named the winner of the Asian Restaurant of the Year for Greater London at the Asian Curry Awards 2025.
Known for its refined take on classic flavours, iNaga has built a loyal following for its signature dishes, including its Lamb Morisa and Shashlik Masala, created by Chef Ruhal Rahman and led by owner Abdul Hay.
The win follows the restaurant’s recent recognition at the Houses of Parliament, where it was named one of the Top 100 Asian Restaurants in the UK for 2025.
Often nicknamed “The Curry Oscars”, The Asian Curry Awards celebrate the best of Asian and Oriental cuisine across the UK.
The winners were revealed at a gala dinner on Sunday, November 16 at Grosvenor House in Mayfair, hosted by BBC news anchor Samantha Simmonds.
Winners were selected by the Asian Catering Federation’s panel of expert judges, chosen from a shortlist voted for by the public, with awards given to 46 restaurants across the UK.
Staff member Madeleine Gent said: “We were absolutely thrilled to be named Best Asian Restaurant in Greater London. Such an accolade.
“I was in touch with Abdul throughout the evening and have deluged him with photos.
“He’s over the moon and wants to thank each and everyone who voted for us.
“I was busy sharing the news to our socials too and the overnight reactions and messages have been unbelievable.
“We’re so lucky to have been put at the heart of such a lovely community.”
