Nottingham restaurant the Curry Lounge has received a prestigious award following outstanding feedback from its customers.

The venue has been presented with a Gold Award by toptable.com, the leading global restaurant reservation, review and search site, after receiving consistently high scores from diners who had visited the restaurant and wanted share their experiences online.

With some of the highest marks in the region for categories including food, value, service and ambience, the Curry Lounge joins an elite group of restaurants to achieve Gold status.

"We're delighted that so many people have taken the time to post such amazing comments about their meal with us," commented Curry Lounge owner Arfan Razak. "Reviews like these help us to constantly look at the way we do things and help us to offer the perfect dining experience. 

"We're currently working on some exciting new additions to our menu and I'm sure that this, along with our continual high standards of customer service, will result in even higher scores on toptable.com in the future."

Commenting on the Curry Lounge, one diner posted: "Sumptuous food, top class service. This does not match the quality of London Indian eateries - as a Londoner, I believe it exceeds them and could teach the folk of the capital how a restaurant should be."

The Gold Award is the latest accolade for the Curry Lounge and follows a special commendation at the British Curry Awards 2009 and another recognition from toptable.com, which named the restaurant as one of the top 10 in the UK to offer the best value.
