7/12 Cuisine in Schools Initiative.
Syed entertained 60 pupils and teachers from the local Meadow Community Primary School. The children were shown around the kitchen and watched the Chef preparing and cooking food.
The visit was the first of many planned by Syed who hopes to draw attention to the skills shortage in restaurants and to encourage young people to consider careers in catering.
The children are learning about different ways of life in different cultures and the visit told them a little bit about Asian food. They were told about spices and other ingredients by Syed and Chef (right) and sampled the onion bhajis they had seen being cooked.

The initiative was featured on the Ben Jackson show on BBC Radio Leicester and included an interview with Syed by Jo Hollis.

The Leicester Mercury featured the visit in the 8th December edition. Read the full article here»

Ambitious Plans for Charity!
Syed Rahman, the restaurant manager, has set himself and the restaurant the ambitious target of raising £100,000 for syed

Regular customers can help acheive this total by continuing to support the restaurant through the week, so that charity nights can be held frequently.
