Indian street food award-winner My Delhi could be on course for further success as it takes to the TV spotlight to compete for a national title.
The popular Newcastle restaurant will be seen on new BBC show Britain's Top Takeaways this May as eateries across the UK go head to head to create the best cuisine in their field. The series, hosted by Sara Cox with comedian Darren Harriot, will include eight stand-alone episodes over the week featuring different types of takeaway, from Chinese to fish and chips, and a winner will be chosen at the end of each show.
My Delhi in Clayton Street - which is soon to open a second branch in Sunderland - will be making its TV debut in the May 10 episode - the day after the series' launch - when rival Indian takeaways will compete to have their food named the best. Chefs from each venue will be cooking up their favourite dishes in a kitchen studio in Manchester which then will be delivered to local households who will score them and judge that episode's winner.
