A CURRY restaurant in Oxford's Cowley Road has been named one of the best in the country.

Aziz was named the best curry restaurant in the South East of England at the British Curry Awards in London, beating rivals from Twyford, Milton Keynes, Cookham and Beaconsfield.

Almost 3,500 restaurants were nominated for awards, but just 11 picked up prizes at the ceremony at the Grovesnor House Hotel on Sunday.
