The event, which was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Monday 19th November in Glasgow, saw the top chefs and restaurateurs of the Asian food sector in Scotland descend upon the city.
Paisley (Multan Tandoori) and Helensburgh (Annaya's Indian) were the big winners when it came to Indian cuisine, while Aberdeen's Yorokobi by CJ took home the best Japanese award.
Inverurie's Asian Kitchen won the best Chinese award, Vinyasa in the capital was crowned Bangladeshi Restaurant of the Year.
Turban Tandoori in Glasgow were awarded the special Oceanic Consulting Recognition Award.
The annual awards event aims to recognise and reward the hard work, determination and dedication of those restaurants, takeaways and other food establishments working hard to service the Asian food industry, promote Asian cuisine and connect communities through food and culture.
The awards celebrated the achievements of these businesses and individuals and commemorated the difference they make to Scotland’s culture and economy.
Run by Oceanic Consulting – a leading ethnic consulting and promotions organisation - the awards are part of a programme that also includes the British Indian Awards, the Curry Awards, and the British Muslim Awards.
Irfan Younis, CEO of Oceanic Consulting said: “We would like to congratulate all of the winners and finalists of the first ever Scottish Asian Food Awards 2018. The evening was a huge success, particularly given the fact that this was the first award of its kind in Scotland.
"We are keen to carry the momentum on from tonight, to future awards ceremonies celebrating Asian food in Scotland.”
