A kebab restaurant in Petts Wood has won a national award for serving the 'best grilled dish'.

El Kervan in Queensway triumphed in the FOODit Independent Takeaway Awards after receiving the most online orders for its 'Exclusive House Special Mix Grill'.

The eatery, which specialises in Turkish cuisine, beat hundreds of other takeaways to take the award.

Co-owner Kerem Shukri said: “It’s a good achievement to get the award.

“The food speaks for itself. The customers love the food that we are serving, and they put a good report for us.

“We always like to give our customers the best food and service we can. We’d like to thank them for helping us get the award.

“We always strive for the best and we have a new restaurant coming soon, hopefully we will get an award for that one as well.”

The awards were launched to "recognise and reward takeaways serving great-tasting food who maintain the highest levels of service and food standards" and were open to restaurants using the FOODit online ordering platform.

El Kervan wins £100 to spend at food wholesaler JJ Food Service and a certificate.

Staff will also be given a free training day with Lavazza Coffee.
