It could be because of the fresh and innovative cuisine, traditional-style dishes, select and exclusive dishes you can find in only the restaurant you use.

Perhaps you love the friendly staff, the traditional style or the outrageous décor of the restaurant? Maybe it’s so much more than a place you go to for a curry?

We have drawn up a shortlist of restaurants and eateries in the Echo’s area which will compete for the title of Curry House of the Year 2016.

The details of eligible curry houses will be printed in the paper – and published online – until Saturday, April 16.
