SIX Glasgow restaurants scooped top prizes at a culinary awards event in the city.

The country's finest chefs gathered at the city's Marriott hotel earlier this week to have their talents recognised in the Scottish Curry Awards.

Now in its 15th year, the event celebrates Scotland’s rich and diverse 'curry culture' and winners have been outlined for their "exceptional quality, innovation and consistency in offering a truly memorable dining experience".

Among the winners was Swadish, based in the Merchant City, which previously earned Best Indian Restaurant at the Scottish Entertainment and Hospitality Awards in 2022 as well as best in Scotland at the 2022 British Curry Awards.
