A popular Northern Irish kebab chain has been named best in the country at a prestigious UK-wide award ceremony.
The British Kebab Awards, in association with Just Eat, recognise and champion the efforts of local kebab takeaways and restaurants across the nation.
The annual awards are a celebration of the industry, which naturally draws key figures from all sections of the takeaway and restaurant sector.

The Sphinx, which has locations in Antrim and Stranmillis, has taken the title of 'Best Kebab House in Northern Ireland' for the second year running.
Having first opened its doors in 1980, The Sphinx quickly established itself as a local legend and is no strangers to accolades over the years - having won the title of 'Kebab of the Year' at the Irish Takeaway Awards last month.
A spokesperson for the kebab chain said: "The Sphinx is delighted to receive this prestigious award and it proudly sits beside the 'Best Kebab in Ireland Award' that we won two weeks ago.
"The Sphinx only uses the best quality ingredients, prepared and served with care from our fantastic team."
Mark Finch, Director, UK Account Management, Just Eat, headline sponsor of the awards said: “It’s a real honour for Just Eat to once again support the British Kebab Awards.
"After an undeniably difficult time for the hospitality sector, there’s never been a better time to recognise and celebrate the resilient and hard-working individuals across the kebab industry, who are making an invaluable contribution to both their local community and the UK economy.
"Huge congratulations to all the winners and finalists on their incredible achievements."
