How family arrived in Yorkshire with just £5 built restaurant empire loved by royals and celebrities

British Asian fusion restaurant MyLahore has been going 20 years. It started in Bradford and now has branches on Rusholme's Curry Mile, Birmingham, Blackburn and Leeds.

The family behind the curry empire only had £5 in their pockets between them when they arrived in Yorkshire, and began working in mills and on buses. Later, they decided to open up their sweet shop which later was passed down to their sons and transformed into MyLahore.

The "awesome" Asian kitchen was founded in 2002 by brothers and cousins Ishfaq Farroq, Shakoor Ahmed, Ashgar Ali, Mohammaed Mahroof, Ghafoor Farooq, and Masood Farooq. Their flagship Great Horton Road spot in Bradford has since developed into a popular eatery raking in four and five star reviews, , YorkshireLive reports.
