And delighted owner Ibby Ali said they were left impressed with dishes including Lamb madras, Bangla voujon and Lamb boti kebabs.

He said: "We want to make Usha the best in the north west. It would be a great early Christmas present for the Usha team so please vote for us."

The finals take place on November 16 in London.
