Midlothian curry restaurants raise £2,500 for Lothian kids living in poverty

The local eateries with go up against the best Asian restaurants and takeaways from around Scotland after more than 10,000 people voted online for their favourite venues, with 70 businesses making the shortlist.

Hosted by BBC News anchor Samantha Simmonds, the gala dinner and awards ceremony will take place at The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh on September 18.

The awards, being held for the seventh time, are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF).

ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “We are seeing some remarkable creativity by pioneering restaurateurs and chefs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences, showcasing Scotland’s world-leading produce, especially its seafood, game, neeps and tatties.”

Two Midlothian curry restaurants have paid tribute to their customers after raising £2,500 for children in and around Edinburgh and the Lothians living in poverty.

Itihaas in Dalkeith and Radhuni in Loanhead donated 10 per cent of their sit-in and takeaway food takings for the first 18 days of December to the Mission Christmas appeal for the Edinburgh section of children’s charity Cash for Kids, and topped it up with their own contributions. The Lothians-wide appeal has so far raised an incredible £286,073 for the festive appeal. The money is being spent on Christmas presents for children who might otherwise go without.
