Abdul said: "We were overwhelmed just to get nominated in the final. So when they announced the overall winner, it didn't sink in for a few minutes. The restaurant industry is very competitive. We opened in November - it's a short time for what we have achieved."
He says that the key to their success is to offer something unique and make the customers their top priority. They strive to offer a different experience to customers as the put the food in a box with their own design and include hot towels and chocolates in their takeaway packs. Not only that but they call their online customers to confirm the orders and delivery time. Their hard work and care to their customers has been paying off as the good feedback keeps coming and their popularity growing.
