THE votes have been counted and The Press can now reveal the winner of the Best Takeaway in York competition.

Back in February we asked readers to nominate their favourite takeaway in and around York and you got in touch in your droves.

In the end the winner was The Parvin Restaurant in Haxby with 461 votes.

Owner Safiquer Rahman, said: "We are very happy and grateful to receive this award for best takeaway 2021. It’s been a difficult year for us all with the pandemic effecting us all in different ways, I’m glad we’ve still been able to provide quality food to all our wonderful customers and can’t wait to see them all soon again.
