LONDON : Senior Vice-Chairman of Pakistan Hotels Association Mian Akram Farid while addressing the opening ceremony of Royal Nawab Restaurant in Ilford (UK) Akram Farid Said that Royal Nawab Restaurants is a matter of honor for Pakistan, Overseas Pakistanis are our precious capital.
Overseas Pakistanis are the pride of the country and they are playing an important role in the country’s economy along with making the name of Pakistan known around the world.
Pakistanis living abroad are the backbone of the country’s economy, just like the Pakistanis living abroad are working in England. With the opening of the Royal Nawab Hotel in Elfield, the Pakistani and Asian communities will now be able to enjoy delicious Pakistani cuisine in East London – where Pakistanis and Asians living here had to travel to West London to eat Pakistani food. He further said that due to the hard work and dedication of Malik Mahboob, the owner of Royal Nawab Restaurant, today Royal Nawab Restaurant is a name in the world. And this is an honor for Pakistan. No other Indian,
Pakistani or Bangladeshi restaurant in the UK or Western Europe offers such a varied buffet to its customers. The variety of buffet at Royal Nawab is almost endless and customers can eat as much and as much as they want for a fixed price and it is left up to them to decide when to stop. “Our aim is to eat as much as possible and we try to satisfy the consumer’s appetite with both quality and quantity,” he said. In the last 10 years,
Royal Nawab has introduced more than 100 dishes whereas earlier the range consisted of common popular dishes. Malik Mehboob, the owner of Royal Nawab Restaurant, said that he buys all the spices, rice and ingredients from Pakistan. For 40 years we have used the same buyers and retailers. Today we employ hundreds of people. No other Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi restaurant in the UK or Western Europe offers such a varied buffet to its customers.
He further informed that the number of visitors to the three places of Nawab every week is in thousands. He said that no other restaurant offers the range of dishes we offer and no other restaurant has so many people who enjoy authentic Pakistani food.
The largest Pakistani specialty restaurant with more Pakistani dishes from all parts of Pakistan than any restaurant outside or at least in the UK and Europe. Customers from all backgrounds come to us especially to enjoy Pakistani cuisine. Even British and Europeans come to us every week just to enjoy Pakistani food, he added, adding that every evening there are huge queues outside the restaurant. Families, groups and couples come to eat at the restaurant.
Speaking at the inauguration, Alfredo Leader of the redbridge London Borough Council Jes Athwal said that we are very happy, with the Royal Nawab’s opening here, we will enjoy Pakistani food here, for which we had to travel far before.
