Let’s take a closer look at each:
Wok & Grill
This Indo-Chinese and flame-grilled sizzling fusion diner features classic noodle and rice boxes, Peri-Peri chicken, and gourmet burgers.
Urban Health
Not a dental clinic, but a vibrant café and juice bar that serves healthy options, nutrient-packed dishes, and vegan cuisine. You can choose from acai bowls, protein pancakes, and creative salads made from local ingredients.
Sanjugo
This Japanese sushi restaurant is all about taking the feel-good flavors of Japan to neighborhoods across London.
There are hand-rolled sushis, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, bao buns, donburi, and several other fresh dishes.
Sushi Me Rollin’
Sushi Me Rollin’ has got me rolling. It will take you to the fun side of Japanese cuisine.
Burg N Ice
American comfort food is the name of the game here. This diner specializes in delicious smashed burgers, loaded with fresh ingredients, alongside crispy chicken tenders, and so much more.
Seed
Enjoy global flavors and salads here at Seed.
YAYAS
Taking inspiration from the rich flavors of Berlin-style kebabs, they serve high-protein and freshly grilled meals with a healthy twist. Find signature chicken rice boxes, doner wraps, and salad bowls that keep your nutrition in check.
Umami Street Food
It may be umami, but it’s never bad here. Flavor-filled dishes inspired by Asia, the Middle East, and beyond? What more could you ask for?
Low & Slow
The secret to great-tasting barbecue is the way they are prepared. Low & Slow smokes all their meats overnight, so they’re ready for cooking the next day. Tastes like heaven.
Sharkbite Burgers
Don’t be confused here with Shake Shack. This is completely different. Sharkbite Burgers was founded by a bodybuilder who wants to teach his customers proper protein eating.
Taqi’s Grill
Fresh chargrilled and barbecued food. ‘Nuff said.
Silver’s Deli
If Subway is something you don’t want to try, then Silver’s Deli is the way to go.
On the judging panel are famed entrepreneur and musician Levi Roots, Irish celebrity chef and TV host Clodagh McKenna, and last year’s standout winner Natty Crutchfield.
However, all finalists will receive a $6,500 prize more or less, as well as a tailored support package fom Uber Eats to help boost their business. So, no restaurant will go home empty-handed.
This is already the fourth edition of the awards.
