An Indian restaurant based in Bramhall has received plaudits at a top culinary award.

Bombay to Mumbai, based at 10 Fir Road, did Stockport proud at the 2026 Indian Restaurant Summit and Honours, held at the five-star Edwardian Hotel in Manchester.

The restaurant made the shortlist in the Best Independent Indian Restaurant category, and the business' co-founder Donya Bonyadi won the Women in Hospitality Leadership award at the ceremony.

Sandeep Gursahani, director at Bombay to Mumbai, said he and the team were 'thrilled' with the outcome.

"This recognition highlights Donya's years of dedication running an Indian restaurant as a Persian woman, along with her exceptional team management, her rapport with our local Bramhall customers, and her occasional opera singing in the restaurant", he said.
