ARTA, or the Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards, is an award presentation that promotes the art of cooking while recognising other areas in the hospitality industry, such as exceptional service or restaurant management.
Restaurant customers are at the heart of this Award, with more the 150,000 clients voting for their favourite local Asian restaurants across the UK every year.
The competing restaurants are chosen based on customer nominations through online applications and websites.
Once a restaurant is nominated, it will be subject to three scoring rounds. Restaurants are judged on their Customer Nomination Score, ARTA Score, and Regional Cook-Off score.
The winners of the prestigious ARTA award receive an attractive prize every year.
ARTA is a movement in the hospitality sector. It is the only official award that recognises, promotes and celebrates the immense importance and popularity of the South Asian catering industry in the UK, as determined by its consumers.
Fair and democratic voting is at the heart of ARTA. We want to ensure that our entire voting process is as transparent as possible, so we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
