A popular restaurant has been crowned the best Thai restaurant in the UK.
Yum Yum, in Stoke Newington High Street, picked up the award at this year’s Euro Asia Curry Awards.
The restaurant has been serving a variety of classic and contemporary Thai dishes in the area for 30 years.
It started as a smaller restaurant on Church Street before transferring over to its larger Georgian premises on the High Street in 2006.
Restaurant owner Atique Islam Choudhury also received the best businessman of the year in north London at the event.
Mr Choudhury said that their mussaman curry, which featured on Gordon Ramsay’s TV series ‘The F Word’ – along with its vegetarian dishes and cocktail bar made the eatery stand out.
He said: “We wanted to create something that felt intimate, despite the large building, and also a place that felt like a little bit of Thailand."
In total, 370 businesses and individuals were nominated for the awards, which is now in its sixth year.
