Palace honour for curry Queen
29/11/2004
THE Queen of Curry met the Queen of England who gave her the
OBE.
The chief executive of the Manchester-based Shere Khan restaurant
chain went to Buckingham Palace to collect her honour with husband
Rafique, elder son Atik and daughter Kiran.
A beaming Nighat showed off conducted by Queen Elizabeth.
Nighat was born in Manchester but spent several years of her
childhood in Pakistan, which she acknowledges as a profound
influence on her personality and ethos.
Managing her own garment factory from the age of 18, she went on
into fashion retail and the floristry business before entering the
restaurant trade with her now-famous Shere Khan restaurants. It is
now an international business with a range of curry products
exported all over the world.
