My Makan in Westlegate has been awarded the title of Malaysian Restaurant of The Year at the 2023 Asian Curry Awards.

The owners of My Makan expressed their gratitude for the recognition and thanked everyone who has supported their business, stating that the award has only fueled their passion to serve the finest Malaysian cuisine.
The Asian Curry Awards took place at the Marriot Hotel in London, where the finalists gathered to celebrate their achievements. My Makan’s victory at the awards show marks a significant milestone for the restaurant, which is located in the unit above Evans Cycles and had been vacant since 2021. The success of My Makan in Westlegate is not the only triumph for the business partners Imran Abidin and Turki Salim, who also opened the first My Makan in Saudi Arabia in 2020. Additionally, there is a branch of the restaurant in Leeds, underlining the brand’s growing presence in the UK.
Matthew Wilcox, who joined the team to help expand the business in the UK, was present at the awards show to accept the Malaysian Restaurant of The Year award on behalf of My Makan. The accomplishment has undoubtedly added to the restaurant’s reputation and contributed to its growing popularity. As a result, My Makan is poised to attract more patrons who are eager to experience the authentic flavors and dishes that have garnered the restaurant such prestigious recognition. Furthermore, the award serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the owners and employees of My Makan, and as an indication of their continued success in the future.
