Brorritos
Samet Hassan, co-founder at Brorritos, said “We can’t believe we’ve been chosen to represent London at the Uber Eats Restaurant Awards. We want to thank everyone who voted for us.
“The prize money on offer would transform our business, especially this financial year as the cost of living and increased rent prices continue to hit small businesses across the UK. We’re so excited to meet the other amazing restaurateurs in October who have made it to the final and to celebrate what we do best.”
