The awards are billed as "a chance to recognise and champion the efforts of local kebab takeaways and restaurants across the nation".

Taking to social media to share a video of them collecting their award, the popular eatery, which often has queues of people waiting outside it, shared their delight at winning for the second time.

The post read: “It’s crazy really. We are just a wee kebab shop and to see the response that we have had over the last year to our wraps has been nothing short of astounding.

“We just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for us, supported us and bought food from us, time and time again over the last year.

“People have been coming from all over the place to try out our wraps. London, Inverness, Yorkshire and Preston to name a few. As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

SNP MP for Glasgow Central, Alison Thewliss, also took to Twitter to congratulate them.

She posted: "Congratulations to Glasgow’s finest, Kebab Awards winner of Best Kebab House in Scotland, Shawarma King."
