The Qarma Tandoori restaurant in Leek is celebrating winning a place in the regional final of the Newby Teas Tiffin Cup 2010. The national competition is held each year to find the best South Asian restaurant in the country and Karen Bradley MP chose Qarma this year to represent Staffordshire Moorlands. Qarma Tandoori Restaurant will battle with other restaurants in the regional final to go into the national Grand Final.
In the next few weeks a mystery diner will visit the restaurant and judge whether it deserves to respresent the region. Karen said;
"Qarma Tandoori Restaurant was the overwhelming favourite among my constituents so I am delighted that my nomination for them has been accepted. I really hope they will be chosen to represent our region in the Grand Final of such a prestigious award. I am sure everyone in the Moorlands will be supporting them."
Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Tiffin Club said:
"We are delighted with the nomination of the Qarma Tandoori Restaurant. It will really put Staffordshire Moorlands on the culinary map."
