British darts sensation and renowned kebab-lover, Luke Littler, is gearing up for a tasty new challenge - crowning the UK's king of kebabs.

Deliveroo has recruited Luke to announce the return of the delivery app's Best Kebab Award as part of its 2025 Restaurant Awards. A specially-created golden trophy, in the shape of Lukes favourite post-victory dish, will be awarded to the winning restaurant. New pictures show Luke swapping the darts hall for a kebab restaurant - to announce the return of the highly coveted award following a three-year hiatus.

And Luke has been recruited to help score a whole new kind of treble for the delivery app.

Having shown plenty of support for his hometown kebab spot in the past, Luke is on a mission to ignite the UK's love affair with quality kebabs. Backed by Deliveroo, Luke has served up a shortlist of 10 of the nation's top kebab joints across the nation and now it's up to the public to take aim and vote for the best one.

Luke said: Whether its chicken tikka or lamb, there are three steps to a tasty kebab: juicy lean meat, fresh salad, all wrapped up in soft bread. The final check-out and making the perfect kebab is tough, but these restaurants on Deliveroo are doing it right. I cant see any misses in this list, so its over to you to get voting. Game on.
