Manik Miah, chef and owner of Haweli on the Uxbridge Road, won Chef of the Year and Businessman of the Year for the Middlesex area at the 2021 Euro Asia Curry Awards.

Manik took on the ownership of Haweli just two months before the pandemic started.

He said: “It’s been a very stressful 18 months – probably the toughest time of my life – but things feel like they’re back on track now, and receiving this award means a lot.”
