The shortlisted restaurant, Shakurs Brasserie, has been owned and operated by Shah Hussain for nearly 20 years.
The winner will be announced on Thursday October 10 as part of the third British Bangladeshi Business Awards held at Bingley Hall in Birmingham.
In order to make the shortlist of the competition Shah participated in a cook-off with eight judges. Officials from the competition also came to the restaurant and made a complaint to see how the staff would react as part of the competition.
Shah participated in another similar competition three years ago, but didn't win taking home the prize for runner-up.
