Leamington resident Iftehar said: “It feels fantastic to have won this award and to be recognised for the food and service we provide in the area."

Speaking at the ceremony, Lord Bilimoria said: "I congratulate the award winners.

"Everyone who was on the stage has made sacrifices and worked hard.

"Your achievements inspire all of us, particularly younger people, to aspire and achieve themselves."
