VIP guest dines at Newhaven’s award-winning authentic Indian restaurant The Viceroy
MP for Lewes Maria Caulfield congratulated Abdul Ahmed and his team at The Viceroy in Newhaven for winning their recent award, when she recently dined at the restaurant with friends.
Mr Ahmed explained: “She arrived unexpectedly as part of a group on an evening out, and we were delighted when Maria came to congratulate us and say how much she had enjoyed her meal.”
He added: “She wanted to meet the chef who had won the best chef category for East Sussex in the highly regarded Curry Life Best Chef Awards for 2022 – and we had our picture taken together.”
The Conservative MP later posted a message on FB, which received 61 likes from the local community and said: “Congratulations to The Viceroy in Newhaven for winning the Curry Life Best Chef of the year award. Congratulations to Abdul and the team.”
Authentic Indian dishes
Chef Shohidul Haque has been creating mouth-watering Indian dishes at The Viceroy for over a decade and you can try his premier Indian cuisine for yourself.
When owner Abdul opened The Viceroy 36 years ago, he wanted to share his passion for food with a unique dining experience and the perfect mix of ingredients and spices.
The Viceroy’s aromatic curries, which tantalise the tongue, include signature dishes iCoconut Chicken Lasan and Dixit Duck Surprise. For tasty alternatives, try their Caribbean fish and lamb shank dishes, while they still also serve more mainstream curries.
They are also unusual in offering a separate menu with vegan and gluten-free options, to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements.
Abdul added: “When we recently won the Curry Life Best Chef Award we were so proud to be recognised for all the hard work we put into this restaurant. It meant so much because we won it with votes from our customers, who enjoy our meals and appreciate our service.”
