A restaurant has been crowned one of the best in the country after winning a top food award.
The annual Nation's Curry Awards took place on Monday, February 17, with a ceremony in Blackburn.
Now in it's third year, it celebrates the country's diverse culture and continued growth in the hospitality industry.
Chequers Indian Lounge in Great Blakenham was shortlisted for Outstanding Restaurant of the Year - an award which it won.
It comes after the eatery received a highly commended certificate for the same category last year.
Nasir Jilani owns the Great Blakenham restaurant as well as Jilani in Sudbury.
"It is fantastic to have won the Outstanding Restaurant of the Year award," said the restaurant owner.
"It is a dedication to the staff here as it is a team effort, especially given the challenges in the industry.
"Energy costs are rising and while the demand for food is there it is hard to get people to work anti social hours."
Chequers Indian Lounge was also named Best Restaurant of the Year at last year's Curry Life Awards.
