The dinner party will include an awards ceremony to honour the best Bangladeshi restaurants in the country.

This year's party theme is Tastes to Share, Food to Admire and will look at the long history of Bangladeshi cuisine and its journey to today, which now includes the adoption of chicken tikka masala as the nation's favourite dish.

A number of high profile guests, including Lord Neil Kinnock, Lord Nazir Ahmed and the Rt Hon Hillary Benn MP.

"We are looking forward to seeing our local community coming together to remember the services of our veterans in the curry industry and to encourage our British born children who accomplished excellent academic results despite facing numerous odds," Mr Bajloor Rashid, president of the BCA, said.

Mr N R Khandaker Pasha, the secretary general of the association, added: "The Tastes to Share, Food to Admire theme helps us to think about the impact of how Bangladeshi foods have long been admired by the British society over the ages and consider what we can do to work to protect our legacy of food and culture and hand it down to the next generation."

The event will take place on December 2nd at the Hilton Park Lane.
