An interest in good food runs in Mr Shah's family. His grandfather, Nazir Ud-Din, owned the Manzil Restaurant situated on Stockport Road. The Manzil was Manchester's most famous curry house in the 60's and 70's. From the basement, Nazir Ud-Din began to manufacture his own brand of pastes and sauces and from this formed the famous Nazir Canned Indian Food Company. Nazir Ud-Din has passed his culinary expertise down through the generations.
Shah's father was the Manzil chef and was reputed to be one of Manchester's finest chefs. He, in turn, passed his knowledge to his son. Shah said "I learned everything from him. The secret is in the recipe. We cook everything fresh to order in an open kitchen, using the highest quality meat, poultry, herbs and spices."
