Steve Whiteway

“I am particularly delighted that Dastaan has been awarded The Best Overall Business and Best Business for Food and Hospitality 2017.  Dastaan only opened its doors in Ewell earlier this year. Multi-award winning chefs Sanjay Gour and Nand Kishor have created such impact and excitement with top class Indian cuisine and customer service in Epsom and Ewell. They are worthy winners and I recommend them to all.”

Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP

 “Chef Nand Kishor, Chef Sanjay Gour and the entire team of Dastaan is earnestly grateful for the recognition that we have received for our hard work, because I am very sure that every other nominee for this award was as capable if not more, of winning these awards. Since the opening of Dastaan last year the amount of love and support we have received is amazing. We hope it continues and we are able to serve scrumptious Indian food for many more years to come. Dastaan means story and Epsom has definitely become a part of our story.”
