Popular Edinburgh restaurant add to recent success with prestigious industry award

A popular Edinburgh city centre Asian restaurant is celebrating two recent accolades achieved at separate prestigious industry awards.

Ignite, on Morrison Street, were recently awarded 'highly commended' at the Asian Restaurant Awards 2022 that took place during a special ceremony at the Sheraton Hotel.

Staff were over the moon with the achievement having recently been announced as TripAdvisor's 2022 Travellers' Choice Award winners, highlighting the team's consistency and the "amazing experience" displayed for customers.

Although the restaurant, which specialises in Indian and Bengali cuisine, did not come away with the Restaurant of The Year award, their recent double delight added to their current list of awards and accolades.

According to TripAdvisor, Ignite is listed within the top ten per cent of restaurants worldwide.

Commenting on recent achievements, owner Mohammed Khan said: “We are delighted to be recognised for our contribution to the Edinburgh dining scene. We’ve worked hard over the last 18 years to consistently deliver delicious, authentic Indian and Bengali food that our customers keep coming back for – they tell us they love it and it’s an honour to be recognised by the Asian Restaurant Awards and Tripadvisor too."

In both 2019 and 2021, Ignite were named given the Best Restaurant award at the Asian Restaurant Awards, with the Pranha Grill in Corstorphine taking home the victory in 2022.

Opening less than two years ago during the pandemic, the restaurant has already seen some rave reviews, winning best in Edinburgh as well as in Scotland.
