A Borehamwood curry house has been granted a mayoral seal of approval. Khaled Balti House in Shenley Road now boasts, on its wall, a letter from Elstree and Borehamwood Town Mayor Bill Moir -- a regular take-away customer. Owner of the family business Abu Nosor, 25, said he was proud to have a letter from the Mayor, complementing his food and service.

"I always look forward to a meal from Khaled Balti in Borehamwood. The food is fresh, well-presented and very tasty," he wrote.

"This family-run take away is staffed by people who are very happy to help."
