The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Habibur Khan, who manages the Radhuni restaurant, a 120-seat Indian-Bangladeshi Restaurant in Loanhead, on receiving the Scottish award in 2020 for outstanding service in the industry during the COVID-19 pandemic; believes that the restaurant has also shown fantastic community spirit during the pandemic, as it has contributed £10,000 worth of free meals to NHS and emergency workers and care home staff; understands that the Radhuni and its sister restaurant, Itihaas, in Dalkeith, are currently raising money for the national charity, Children 1st, by donating 25p from every takeaway to the charity; notes that the restaurant’s Managing Partner, Habibur Khan, became the youngest person to take home one of the major British Curry Awards last year when Radhuni was named Scotland’s best curry restaurant; understands that the curry industry encompasses more than 12,000 restaurants and is estimated to be worth £5 billion to the UK economy; recognises the Radhuni as an asset to the local community in Midlothian, and congratulates Habibur and all the staff at the Radhuni on this well-deserved win.
