Owner

Mustafa Rahman

Came to UK from Bangladesh in 1964. Married to Salina. His father gave Liverpudlians their first taste of the Indian sub-continent. The choice was simple. In the early 60s, at the Kohinoor, in Commutation Row, Ahmed Nazir served up hot, medium or mild curry.

Career : Owner of The Gulshan in Liverpool with wife Salina. Opened in Grassendale in 1986. Listed in Michelin since 1995.

Liverpool's most famous curry house have just finished their new refurbishment. The new development is with a twist. The addition of the new contemporary 'Lounge Bar' now offers not just a place to go and have a great meal but an evening destination for meeting friends and relaxing upstairs in the new Lounge Bar. The theme is a 'night at the movies', silent 'oldies' are played on a flat screen behind the bar while you sit with Laurel and Hardy, greeted by Norma Jeane (Marilyn Monroe) and watched by Clarke Gable. 2008 opened their Champagne & Indian Tapas bar at the restaurant.

A Top 100 in Britain award winner.
