After a Facebook poll, Cheadle Hulme based restaurant Barinda were nominated by Mary Robinson MP as her entry to the prestigious Tiffin Cup Competition.

The Tiffin Cup Competition aims to celebrate the quality and diversity of South Asian food in Britain by recognising the restaurants that excel in producing this type of cuisine.

Whilst, not making it to the Grand Final Barinda can be proud to have come runner up in the region and Mary was delighted to present them with their congratulatory apron and framed certificate when she popped in to see them last week.

Mary said: “I am delighted that Barinda has been named Runner Up in the Tiffin Cup 2015. It is an iconic award and to be honoured in this way is a testament to the fantastic efforts of Samu, Abdul and all other staff at the restaurant. I’ve enjoyed food from the restaurant a number of times and the award is well deserved. Congratulations must also go to Indigo in Hazel Grove for making the final.”
