While Birmingham restaurants and takeaways picked up an impressive number of awards, two Greater Manchester businesses also picked up gongs. Zafrani Indian Takeaway in the village of Monton in Eccles took home the award for Takeaway of the Year North, beating tough competition from across the region.
