Spice Clay Oven owner Abdul Salek spoke to The Press after receiving the nomination.

He said: "We opened April 22 this year.

"I’ve been looking to start a restaurant in this area for the last 10 years and its always hard to get a place, and I thought it’s the perfect area. This recognition has just put a big smile on our face.

"It’s mainly our food and service that gets recognised. I would say our food is more authentic than others, it’s more of a Bangladeshi style. At the same time, it’s the passion and pride with us.

"We have happy customers that tell us we’re the best in the area."

Spice Clay oven's large menu includes both eat-in and takeaway options. The classic, seafood, and vegetarian specials are customer favourites. However, their signature Lamb Kursi, is among the chef's favourites.
