Every year the best restaurants visited are presented with a certificate. The certificate states that a restaurant has reached a level, according to the MK Curry Club review criteria, that means we would recommend it.

The maximum score that can be reached is 30. The level of score required to receive a certificate is has been raised in 2013, by 1 point, due to the general increase in food quality and standards. The certificate ‘score ranges’ are listed below but are ony awarded to 3, 4 and 5 stars:

• 5 stars – 25 or greater
• 4 stars – 23.5 to 24.9
• 3 stars – 22.0 to 23.4
• 2 stars – 20.5 to 21.9
• 1 stars – 19 to 20.4
• No stars – less than 19

Note that you should check the ‘common curry‘ for Value For Money because the score represents the food quality, service and general quality of the restaurant, i.e. A 5 star restaurant could be the most expensive and therefore not necessarily represent the best value for money.
