A hugely popular Glasgow restaurant has been named as a finalist in a top restaurant awards by one of the UK's favourite delivery firms.

Japanese cuisine specialists Nippon Kitchen on West George Street now require their fans to help vote for them as they go head to head with three other restaurants from across Scotland.

Now in its seventh year, the Just Eat Restaurant Awards, formerly known as the British Takeaway Awards, seeks to recognise those restaurants that are considered the UK's favourites.

And voting has now opened for the ‘Takeaway in Scotland’ award, with Glasgow's own Nippon Kitchen, which was lauded for serving delicious Japanese dishes fresh to order and making a huge effort to tackle food waste, is going up against the likes of Chicken Union in Stirling, Kilmarnock-based Neapolitan Pizzeria, A Slice, and Aberdeen's tapas style Indian restaurant Namaste Delhi.
