A popular Indian restaurant in Dunfermline has won three awards at the Scottish Asian Food & Curry Awards.

Dhoom Indian Streatery & Bar was named the regional winner in the best Indian restaurant category.

The eatery also won the overall Scottish award for best Indian restaurant and best Asian street food.

Dhaneshwar Prasad, chef proprietor said: "We are absolutely delighted with these latest awards.

"This is the third consecutive year we have enjoyed success in this competition.

"It’s always fantastic to be recognised by the customer, as these awards are entirely based on customer votes.

"Our customers are simply the best, as they are so consistent, never missing a chance to vote for us in all the different competitions we enjoy entering."

Mr Prasad also thanked his team for their hard work and dedication, especially during the busy Christmas and New Year period.

He said: "It really is a huge achievement to win three times in a row.

"As always, I'd like to thank my hardworking team who are so busy in the run up to Christmas to make sure that everybody has a fantastic time at Dhoom.

"They’ll be working right through Christmas and New Year to provide the people of Dunfermline with our delicious tasting lunches and dinners."

The chef proprietor also revealed that a new menu is in the works, inspired by his recent visit to the Punjab in India.

He said: "I've not long got back from visiting the Punjab in India.

"This is the next region on our list to explore with a new tasting menu.

"There really is massive inspiration in the Punjab to come up with dishes that my customers will love."

Mr Prasad called 2024 "the best year yet for Dhoom", highlighting this success as well as retaining the prestigious AA Rosette for the third year running.

He added: "Awards bring us the kudos, but we also enjoy giving back and we will be continuing with our big charity push right into 2025.

"We raise a monthly donation of £750 which is given to a number of worthy community groups and local charities."
