Four Cambridgeshire kebab vans have been shortlisted for an award at this year’s Turkish Restaurant and Takeaway Awards (TURTA). Diamond Kebab in Cambridge, Gourmet kebab kitchen in Caxton, HsK Kebab Van in Cambridge, and Haddenham Kebab And Burger Van are all in the running to be named ‘Van of the Year’.

The awards help to promote the importance and popularity of Turkish cuisines. TURTA states: “The Turkish Restaurant and Takeaway Awards (TURTA) stand as a celebration of excellence, heritage, and innovation within one of the UK’s most vibrant culinary communities.

“Bringing together chefs, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, and food lovers, the awards recognise the outstanding contributions of Turkish, Kurdish, and Turkish Cypriot businesses that have helped shape the nation’s dining landscape.”

This year’s semi-finalists have been selected following a nationwide nomination process in categories including Fine Dining Restaurant, Best Value Restaurant, and Best Regional Takeaway. The awards now enter a voting phase giving the public an opportunity to support their favourites.

A ceremony is due to be held at JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London on June 22. It will mark the fourth year of the awards taking place.
