THE best takeaway in Malvern has been decided.

Over the last month we’ve asked our readers to nominate a top ten before voting between them to crown the champion.

A range of brilliant takeaways made the shortlist, and the winner is the Indian restaurant the Flute Signature.

Owner Mohammed Talukdar, said: “It’s brilliant, we’re chuffed and it feels like our hard work has paid off.

“I think it’s the first time we’ve won anything so we’re extremely happy."

Mohammed, who founded the takeaway in 2011 which he runs with his nephew Sam, added: “I would like to say thank you to our customers for supporting us over the years, especially during these tough times because it’s been hard for everyone, and we’re just overwhelmed that we’ve won.

“It’s a family restaurant and a lot of customers are like family to us now.”

In second place came Yates Hay Fish Bar, and The Bear and Ragged Staff in third place.
