The second man is described as being 5ft 8in tall, of stocky build and spoke with a local accent.
Police Constable Sean Downey the Volume Crime Team said: "This was a completely unprovoked attack on two people who decided they wanted something to eat after a night out. It is an absolute disgrace that they were assaulted for no reason whatsoever and I would urge anyone who was in the takeaway that morning to contact us.
"Take a good look at the images. Do you recognise these men? If you do, please phone us."
