Tonight's episode of Britain's Top Takeaway, hosted by Sara Cox along with comedian Darren Harriott, saw five families gathered in their homes to try out the nation's favourite kebab houses.
Abdullah and Mohammed from The Bake One Lounge represented Newcastle. The Lebanese restaurant, whose owner Abduallah Alderwelch, a former refugee from Syria, moved to the North East in 2006, will be one of five venues competing for the winning kebab title.
Abdullah was joined by colleague Mohammed in serving up their hugely popular Lebanese kebabs and, as well as the judging families, guest judges this time will be members of a boxing club.

The menu includes a range of hot and cold mezze, meat dishes from the grill and a selection of meat and veggie wraps. Mezze dishes are served with a basket of fresh Lebanese flatbread, and wraps come with salad and chilli-salted chips.
Featuring lamb and chicken kofta, their giant mixed grills got a score of 3 from the first set of judges, but then scored 4 from the next family. After the first round they were joint first alongside a Bristol kebab restaurant.
During the second round, their roasted spiced veggies and falafels received mixed feedback. After getting varied scores, they were sitting in third place on 12 points after the second round.
In the third and final round, they served their seafood King Prawn kebab dish to The Spencer Family and Moss Side Fire Station Boxing Club. After receiving mixed reviews, they ended up finishing at the bottom of the table. The challenge was won by Kirstie and Enver from Enver's Cafe and Grill in Sheffield.
Other categories in the series, which do not have a North East representative, include Burgers, Mexican and Fried Chicken. The episodes can be seen on BBC2 at 8pm.
