13 restaurants have scooped top honours at the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2025. The winners span a range of cuisines from Chinese and Japanese to pizza and burgers, reflecting London's rich and diverse food scene.

The sandwich shop, known for its "next-level" brioche creations, also won the title of Independent Restaurant of the Year for Greater London.

"We poured our hearts into every single sandwich we've made for our customers, so this award is for our amazing team and all the Londoners who've supported us from the start of this wild journey. "Thank you to Deliveroo and everyone who voted for this amazing recognition."
