Misya Meze Grill's VIP lounge in Welwyn Garden City recently held a celebration for its first anniversary.
Mayor of Welwyn Hatfield Cllr Pankit Shah and Mayoress Vaishali Shah cut the ribbon to mark the occasion.
Attendees were given a glass of prosecco and canapés while live singer Sophie provided entertainment.
Misya Meze recently received a 'Welwyn Hatfield for All' award from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council.
The restaurant was nominated by the community for the generosity they showed on Christmas Day, when they opened their doors to all frontline workers, the elderly and the homeless for a hot meal on the house - a tradition they intend to continue going forward.
Cllr Shah praised owner Memet, and said: "I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the visionary team behind the Misya Meze Grill, on their remarkable achievement.
"Their unwavering dedication in food innovation and customer satisfaction has set a standard of excellence that is truly commendable.
