Two more Newcastle restaurants are set to represent the city in a new BBC show just days after a street food favourite cooked its way to culinary glory.
My Delhi was crowned winner of Tuesday night's Indian food-theme episode of BBC 2's Britain's Top Takeaways which is running from Monday to Thursday nights for three weeks. Elahi Shah Amin, director of the Clayton Street restaurant which launched takeaways during lockdown, and executive chef Gaurav Dayal were delighted, they said, "to be flying the flag for the North East" and they went on to beat rivals from the likes of Edinburgh and London.
The new series, hosted by Sara Cox with comedian Darren Harriot, focuses upon different types of cuisine in each episode, with a category winner being chosen at the end of each show - and now Newcastle has two further chances of success in upcoming competitions which will focus on pizza and kebabs.
