Scotland’s curry restaurant of the year has been honoured with its own flavour of Walkers crisps.
The crisps giant will introduce a Madras Curry flavour based on a dish served at The Radhuni in Loanhead on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
Available from next month, the crisps will be part of the company’s campaign to recognise restaurants which helped their communities during the pandemic.
The Radhuni is the first Indian-Bangladeshi restaurant in the UK to receive the accolade. Last year it raised £10,000 for the NHS and also served thousands of free meals to frontline workers.
A Walkers spokesman said: “Over the past 18 months we have seen that, no matter what, loved local restaurants like Radhuni are there for us.
“Now we want to support and celebrate it.”
Every pack has a £5 restaurant voucher.
The Radhuni’s managing partner Habibur Khan became the youngest winner of a major British Curry Award in 2019, aged 23.
He said the approach from Walkers came out of the blue.
Thanking his staff and customers, he added: “We’re thrilled to have provided the inspiration for this new crisp flavour and been recognised for the passion we’ve always had for the local community.”
