Scotland's best kebab house named as takeaway crowned winner at top awards

A Glasgow takeaway has been crowned the 'Best Kebab House in Scotland' at the 2023 British Kebab Awards.

Shawarma King, located on King Street in the centre of the city, took home the prestigious prize at the ceremony in London on February 28. It marks the second year in a row that the beloved Glasgow kebab shop has taken home the prize.

Other Scots takeaways nominated for the award included 5 in 1 in Montrose, Dante’s Fish Chips & Kebab in Dumfries, Kurdish Best Kebab House in Edinburgh, and Mr Chef in Uddingston.

The awards "recognise and champion the efforts of local kebab takeaways and restaurants across the nation".

Taking to Facebook to share the news, Shawarma King commented: "Its 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, 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, Preston to name a few. Insane.

"We anticipate that over the next few weeks we will once again be very busy, and ask that if you do have a slight wait, to understand that we are working our hardest to process all orders and get you the food you came for as fast as we can! As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

SNP MP for Glasgow Central Alison Thewliss also took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the win, writing: "Congratulations to Glasgow’s finest, Kebab Awards winner of Best Kebab House in Scotland, Shawarma King."
