Best Newcomer 2024: De Buddha Shines
Just half a year after we opened, Dé Buddha is excited to announce that we’ve been awarded Best Newcomer Restaurant of the Year 2024 at the Scottish Hospitality & Entertainment Awards. This recognition goes beyond a simple title — it highlights our team’s hard work, the trust our guests have in us, and our passion for delivering authentic, soulful cuisine to Scotland.
A Humble Beginning, A Powerful Recognition
From the very beginning, we didn’t just want to launch another restaurant — we aimed to create an experience. A welcoming space where guests could embrace the warmth of Himalayan hospitality, enjoy dishes that are deeply rooted in tradition, and celebrate culture through the art of food.
To receive recognition so early in our story — and from such a respected platform — fills our hearts with pride and gratitude.
What Makes De Buddha Unique?
At Dé Buddha, we truly believe that food is all about emotions. Every dish that comes from our kitchen tells a story, holds a memory, and reflects our deep-rooted traditions.
- 🧄 House-Made Ingredients – Everything is made from scratch in our kitchen, not from a packet.
- 🏔️ Inspired by Tradition – Our recipes are filled with flavors that have been cherished through generations.
- 🤍 Heartfelt Hospitality – When you dine with us, you’re not just a guest; you’re family.
From Our Heart to Your Plate
This award truly belongs to every single member of the De Buddha family — from our talented chefs and dedicated servers to our hardworking kitchen staff. But most importantly, it’s for our wonderful guests who have welcomed us with open arms in such a short time.
“This moment reminds us why we started. We cook from the heart, and we serve with pride. Thank you for believing in us.”
— The De’ Buddha Team
What's Next?
This award is only the start of our journey. We’re feeling more inspired than ever to keep evolving, enhancing, and sharing the wonderful flavors and tales of Nepal with Scotland and beyond.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning fan of your favorite dish — we’re here, and we’re just getting warmed up.
Thank you for being part of our journey!
