Finalists have been announced for the prestigious Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards (ARTA) taking place on Sunday 8th October at London’s Hilton Park Lane. BBC presenters, Samantha Simmonds and Paul Martin, will be hosting the ceremony which will bring together the nation’s most popular Asian restaurateurs alongside MPs, dignitaries, and celebrities.
The awards honour the finest Asian restaurants and takeaways from across the UK in various categories. Following a public nominations drive and a formal assessment, finalists have been unveiled for each category.
Additional awards will be presented on the night for Champion of Champions; National Chef of the Year; and National Takeaway of the Year. ARTA Founder Salik Mohammed Munim said, “The UK’s popular Asian restaurant industry, known for its resilience, now faces a new set of challenges during the current cost of living crisis. The prices of products, ingredients and energy have risen significantly while customers are also facing the pinch. In this tough situation, ARTA will once again be honouring the UK’s best Asian restaurants and takeaways who are committed to delivering the best in restaurant and home dining.”
