RESTAURATEUR and takeaway owner Abu Asad Choudhury is celebrating after being awarded a certificate for his cuisine.

Abu, who is also a councillor on Rossendale Council as well as owning the Shanaz takeaway and Saffron restaurant on Burnley Road, Rawtenstall, said: "I was delighted when I received a certificate through the post from Traddor Marketing Group.

"They must have come to the restaurant and checked out the food and I was unaware of their visit."
