An Ammanford restaurant was awarded best Newcomer of the Year at the 2024 Asian Curry Awards last Sunday (November 17).

My Indian, which is based on Wind Street, received the award at a ceremony held at Grosvenor Hotel in London.

For those in the Asian catering sector, the Asian Curry Awards recognises excellence in food and service across the UK.

My Indian posted on their Facebook page: “To all our friends and customers, we are incredibly honoured and humbled to be your Asian Curry Awards 2024 winners for Wales.

“We would like to say a thank you to everyone that gave us their reviews, support and who voted for us! And thank you to our amazing family here at My Indian in Ammanford. Without everyone here, we would not be able to achieve this.”

The restaurant also has a five-star review on Tripadvisor.

A review from this month (November 2024) wrote: “Absolutely amazing food, the best I have had in years. Fresh food and amazing produce. Nothing was swimming in ghee and the meat was tender.

“Amazing friendly staff that are happy to help you but do not pester you at the table even though they have a very busy turnover. Would highly recommend and I will definitely be back soon.”

Another review from November added: “I visited My Indian with family and the food is amazing. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The place is very nice since they have done it up. Really nice atmosphere.

“I will definitely recommend this place to anyone. It’s the best Indian I have ever had.”

Meanwhile, a review from last month (October 2024) said: “I visited My Indian last Saturday on a very busy Saturday night. Service was excellent and quick despite how busy it was.

“I have visited a few times since it’s reopening and have had a lovely experience each time. The staff are really friendly and polite, regularly checking to see that all was good.

“There is a nice feel to the place and more importantly, the food is excellent. Tried something new and there is plenty of choice for sure. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I would recommend to everyone.”

One review from September 2024 also posted: “We have eaten here about five times now. Each time the service and food has been excellent every time. The staff are really friendly and cannot do enough for you.

“I have tried a few dishes on the menu and each one has been one of the best curries I have tasted. We will be back again soon.”
