"For our hardworking team this award is a testament to your dedication, passion, and relentless commitment to excellence, this win is as much yours as it is ours.
"This moment is not just about winning; it’s about celebrating the journey, the late nights, the passion for fine Indian excellence, and the dream of making Purple Olive Ashton a place people love and remember."
