Boroughbridge restaurant wins top award
Shahi Raj Indian restaurant has won a TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice award while working to try and recover after lockdown.
The award is based on customer reviews which have placed Shahi Raj in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide.
Since reopening last week, the restaurant is trying to rebuild its success despite decreased bookings. Capacity has had to be halved to meet safety guidelines, and some evenings only three tables have been in use.
The family-owned restaurant has been a part of the Boroughbridge community for 20 years. Restaurant manager Shahenur Rahman said:
During lockdown the restaurant was delivering meals to members of the community who were in need of help. A takeaway was also set up to continue to generate funds whilst the restaurant had to remain closed.
