St Helens Star Best Of 2022 top seven curries revealed

Maybe you prefer a Thai curry instead and have to choose between red, green or yellow.

Chicken tikka masala is Britain’s favourite curry dish – grilled chunks of chicken in a spiced sauce, served with rice and naan bread and a side of popadoms – but which is St Helens’ favourite curry?

Where in the town can you enjoy the best curry dish?

Since we launched our Best of 2022 competition in April, we’ve found the best places that St Helens has to offer in 18 different categories.

We’ve celebrated St Helens’ best hair, nails and beauty providers as well as the best pub and beer garden, fitness instructor, gym, café, independent shop and place for children with awards for pies, fish and chips, breakfast, afternoon tea, pizza, roast dinner, burger and dessert also being handed out.
