Ibrahim Dogus, founder of the awards and director of The Kebab Alliance, said: “Kebab eateries are a key part of the local community and it’s great to see so many entries at the end of a year that has tested every business operating in the hospitality sector. Getting to the semi-final is a real achievement given the competition across the country and all outlets should be rightly proud.”
The winner of each category will be announced at a ceremony at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel on October 26.
They will be selected through public vote and judges, who include Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi, Labour MP , assistant general secretary of Unite Steve Turner and David Galman from Galliard Homes.
