The top ten shortlisted Asian restaurants and takeaways across UK regions have been announced for the annual Asian Restaurant & Takeaway Awards (ARTA) 2026<\/strong>, the UK’s most prestigious celebration of Pan-Asian cuisine, with winners set to be revealed on Monday 12 October 2026<\/strong> at the London Hilton <\/strong>on Park Lane<\/strong>.

The annual awards, known as the \u201cOscars of the Curry Industry\u201d, recognise excellence across the UK’s thriving Asian hospitality sector, celebrating the chefs, restaurateurs and entrepreneurs who continue to raise standards across the industry despite increasingly difficult trading conditions.

ARTA 2026 has attracted over 1250 nominations from diners across the UK, demonstrating the continuing popularity of Asian cuisine and the important role independent restaurants and takeaways play within communities nationwide. All nominations have come through ChefOnline<\/strong>, ARTA\u2019s strategic partner and one of the UK\u2019s leading platforms connecting diners to Asian restaurants and takeaways. Leveraging its national customer base of over a million, ChefOnline helped drive strong nationwide participation in the awards. In addition to public nominations, the selection process drew on social media engagement, Food Hygiene Ratings, and verified customer reviews, providing a broader picture of each business’s reputation, quality, and customer satisfaction.

However, this year’s awards come at a pivotal moment for the hospitality industry, as despite continued customer demand, restaurants across the UK are facing one of the most challenging economic environments in decades. Rising National Living Wage costs; higher employer National Insurance contributions; increasing food prices; elevated utility bills; and reduced business rates relief have significantly increased operating costs for independent hospitality businesses. Industry leaders warn that many restaurants are now operating on increasingly tight margins while continuing to invest in quality, while trying their best not to compromise on staff development and customer experience.

Asian restaurants and takeaways remain one of the UK’s greatest hospitality success stories, contributing billions of pounds annually to the economy while employing tens of thousands of people and enriching the UK’s diverse food culture. Yet many operators say sustained financial pressures continue to threaten the long-term sustainability of independent businesses that have served local communities for generations.

Speaking about the Asian Restaurant & Takeaway Awards 2026, Mohammed Munim, Founder Member and CEO of ARTA<\/strong>, said \u201cCongratulations to every restaurant and takeaway that has earned a place in the ARTA 2026 Regional Top 10. Being shortlisted is a remarkable achievement and reflects the passion, resilience and dedication of the businesses that continue to set the standard for Asian hospitality across the United Kingdom.<\/em>
<\/em>
<\/em>Independent hospitality is facing unprecedented challenges, with rising employment costs, inflation and increasing overheads continuing to place enormous pressure on businesses across the country. Yet despite these difficulties, Asian restaurants and takeaways remain at the heart of communities, creating jobs, preserving culinary traditions and making a significant contribution to the UK’s hospitality industry and wider economy.<\/em>
<\/em>
<\/em>ARTA was founded to celebrate excellence and recognise the individuals and businesses shaping the future of Asian hospitality. We look forward to welcoming our Regional Top 10 finalists to the Grand Finale on Monday 12 October 2026 at the London Hilton on Park Lane, where we will celebrate their achievements and crown this year’s national winners.\u201d<\/em>
