When it comes to curry, the UK is a bit of a dab hand. In fact, it's widely regarded that the quality of Indian food in restaurants over here is better than that found in restaurants on the subcontinent itself, such is the popularity of the cuisine and the number of top Indian chefs who have set up residence over here. And what better way to discover this for yourself, and to experience the diversity of Indian food, than to try one of the many brilliant curry spots dotted across the country. Here's our pick of 10 award winners to whet your appetite.

It seems that the writer hasn't spent an awful time researching and has just gone to upmarket places to search out these restaurants...it's a shame really, because great restaurants that are deserving get missed out!

Omar Khyam in Haymarket, Edinburgh is superb, The Dahkin in Candleriggs, Glasgow do a 30" long family dosai to die for, The Manzil in Aberdeen with their haggis pakora, the Tabla in Perth with about 300 amazing Trip Advisor reviews, I could go on.
This report is akin to American's thinking that the US is the world.
