Being the melting pot that it is, London has got a tonne of fabulous Asian restaurants. From comforting gyoza and sizzling bibimbap to perfectly soft rotis, the city has it all. But with so much choice, it’s not always easy to discern between your run-of-the-mill takeaways and properly good neighbourhood joints. That’s where the Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards (ARTA) come in and the results for 2023 are in.
Five Asian restaurants in London won top awards in the ARTAs, which is the biggest celebration of pan-Asian cuisine in the UK. So without much further ado, these are London’s best pan-Asian eateries, according to the ARTAs...
Taking home the title of Korean Restaurant of the Year was Yori, a K-barbecue joint in Piccadilly Circus.
Celebrating takeaways and local restaurants, the ARTAs also judged Asian restos based on their region. In the awards, The Rajdoot in Hampstead, Saka Maka in Hither Green, and Durbar Tandoori Restaurant Bayswater all took home the prize for Regional Restaurant of the Year in north, south and west London respectively.
In east London, The Empress in Whitechapel was awarded Chef of the Year.
You can find out more about the ARTAs on the official website here.
