The restaurant wrote on social media: "A huge thank you to everyone: our guests, regulars, and all the staff. <\/p>\n "We wouldn\u2019t have been able to win these awards with you and much, much more to come from us."<\/p>\n The restaurant opened 11 years ago, with the name coming from the owner's daughter.<\/p>\n Owner Jake said: "The Indian restaurant is something that's built into UK society – it's just as important in UK culture as the local food."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He added: "My nan lived in Audley all her life.

The food and service is top notch and always consistent."<\/p>\n Another wrote: "This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Stoke on Trent."<\/p>\n Someone joked: "The Kardashians wouldn't look out of place if you saw them here."<\/p>\n While Audley is small, there are other places to dine too.<\/p>\n The Butchers Arms is a popular pub with locals, along with New Royal Balti, another Indian restaurant and Chinese takeaway New Ruby.<\/p>\n it is even home to a climbing centre for rock climbers, as well as a volunteer-run Audley Theatre which opened in 1911 as a cinema.<\/p>\n But there are lots of other amazing attractions in Staffordshire.<\/p>\n A 900-year-old castle in the region was named one of the best to visit in the country.<\/p>\n Tamworth Castle was even the home of "warrior queen" Aethelflaed\u00a0before her death in 918.<\/p>\n And a huge new holiday park could soon open in Staffordshire.<\/p>\n Moneystone Park hopes to create 250 lodges as well as a swimming<\/span> pool and indoor activity park.<\/p>\n This would include a soft play, indoor climbing wall, cinema and bowling lanes, while outdoor activities would include archery and horse riding.<\/p>\n Otherwise just down the road is Alton Towers, the biggest theme park in the UK, as well as Bewilderwood.<\/p>\n And Sun Travel recently stayed at Moddershall Oaks Retreat in Staffordshire – here's what you can expect.<\/p>\n<\/picture>CAKE DISTRICT <\/span><\/p>\n
