The twelve finalists were whittled down from 130 entries across the UK and Ireland.

Judges included Great British Menu host Andi Oliver, street food connoisseur Kieran Monlouis and last year’s winner Josh Kleiner from Sandwich Sandwich. 

One of this year’s finalists is Soho Tavern, a Gastro pub in Park Road, Birmingham.

In the cosy interior, punters can enjoy British-Indian classics in front of a sports match.

Dishes include butter chicken for £11.25 and chilli chips for £5.50.

Another Indian eatery, Urban Tandoor in Clifton, Bristol, also makes the list with its authentic curries.

Meanwhile, two fried chicken shops, in Whitechapel, Liverpool and Nottingham, were selected – with the Nashville Cluck popular for its buttermilk tenders.

Of the three best burgers, one is sold at Junglees in London – famed for its £10.99 smash burger.

The chain has two branches, with one in Ilford and the other in Leyton.

While Locke Burger in central Limerick has some of customers’ favourite house fries – and a luxurious bacon cheeseburger for £10.45.

Lovers of Caribbean soul food will be pleased to see Natty’s Jerk Shack in Portsmouth in the mix – serving up a “modern twist on Jamaican cuisine”.

Dessert bars are not forgotten in the prestigious list.

Mackles ice-cream shop in Belfast sells opulent £6 sundaes – with favourites including the “Happy Hipp”, “Lotus Lover” and “Strawberry Shortcake”.

Meanwhile, Salt and Chilli Oriental, in Glasgow, Scotland, also made it onto the top 12 shortlist.

The winner of the sought-after title will be crowned in London on November 14.

They will bag a whopping £100,000 prize to invest into their business.

How to save money on your takeaway

TAKEAWAYS taste great but they can hit you hard on your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on your delivery:

Cashback websites– TopCashback and Quidco will pay you to order your takeaway through them. They’re paid by retailers for every click that comes to their website from the cashback site, which eventually trickles down to you. So you’ll get cashback on orders placed through them.

Discount codes – Check sites like VoucherCodes for any discount codes you can use to get money off your order.

Buy it from the shops – Okay, it might not taste exactly the same but you’ll save the most money by picking up your favourite dish from your local supermarket.

Student discounts – If you’re in full-time education or a member of the National Students Union then you may be able to get a discount of up to 15 per cent off the bill. It’s always worth asking before you place your order.

Matthew Price, General Manager for Uber Eats in UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, said: “A massive congratulations to all our regional finalists!

“The calibre of businesses taking part in our Restaurant of the Year Awards continues to grow. 

“I look forward to welcoming all the teams to the Awards in November, and hearing more about their journey as a small restaurant business.”
