Being around him years ago, never heard about his struggles. Now I understood, why he liked his waiter? Why he provided me space in every role I played working in his restaurants. Great man .

I briefly worked for Mr Shabir as an electrician in his home. He's a nice man and very down to earth

I have seen Shabir uncle welcoming and warm to restaurant customers from all backgrounds. This interview has shed more light. It shows him as humble, but also with great drive, a lot of wisdom, and well spoken. You are a true inspiration 💫

[@TheCeoClub]

Thank you for taking the time out to watch the podcast and comment. Really appreciate it🙏🏽.

[@JavedIqbalJaydeeOfficial]

Mr shabir has Proven that by calling your restaurant a Pakistani cuisine you could also be successful I can remember when he first opened his Akbars restaurant on leeds road and I started advertising his business on a commercial radio station at the time I said to him Today you have one restaurant and insha Allah one day you will hill many restaurants all over the uk 🇬🇧 🇵🇰my Dua will be always be with you brother you are such a humble person

[@TheCeoClub]

That’s very interesting Javed thank you for sharing those insights and taking the time out to watch and comment 🙏🏽.

The food speaks for itself 👏🏽🙏🏽

[@sukchainroth1584]

Shabir seems like such a nice guy. Normally i hate these type of business guys, who are worth nothing and give it loads with the cars, watches, houses etc. However you can genuinely see Shabir is a very good businessman and talks sense.

[@74aamer]

What a well put articulate gentleman I really like how he said how good his childhood was

[@TheCeoClub]

I’ve been going to the Akbar restaurant for many years. The food is very unique and in a league of its own you can’t beat the chicken nimbali as a starter i’ve also seen a few of Shabir’s interviews that he’s done with en khans and he’s a very intelligent man and very successful in business and very humble and inspiration to the young children out there in the world wish him the best

[@TheCeoClub]

[@ulmaskhan9120]

What an outstanding podcast, really appreciate the exclusives as hearing from such an astute individual has definitely helped me learn a few things from someone of such a high calibre. You can see the genuineness of Shabir and how he was a pioneer in his own right, the attributes he showed throughout his life and journey is something aspiring entrepreneurs can all try to implement. I see hate from trolls on other platforms and it’s mind boggling how people can hate on someone who has nothing to gain from sharing his wisdom and knowledge. Thank you again for the exclusives and do keep these coming 🙌🏼

So so glad you’ve removed the alcohol. May Allah SWT give immense barakah to your businesses. Trust in Allah, you don’t need the alcohol

[@tatvond]

Why would God use the term “rivers of wine” to describe Paradise if alcohol is prohibited for the believers?

[@nc4764]

@@tatvond its prohibited in this life as it intoxicates. In the hereafter it will not be intoxicating so it will be allowed. It will merely be like grape juice

[@asiftanvir]

Great podcast Shabir bhai, just to add Mr Aslam’s and Mumtaz’s inspiration for their businesses was our original SHABAB restaurant chain which my father Mohammad Tanvir started in Leeds 1976, Huddersfield 1978, flagship £1/2 mil Harrogate 1981, Halifax 1988, Manchester 1992. In fact Sabir sahib of Aagrah to this day says they could never work out Shabab’s Egon Roney award winning exquisite menu, created by my father and founder Mohammed Tanvir….. Shabab restaurants were renowned for five star service, cuisine and atmosphere and were so well ahead of the restaurants of that time and even today..!!

[@53fczunb]

Questions you should have asked: 1. Tell us your bad experiences and how you dealt with them as many entrepreneurs tell us the good things but never the bad ones. 2. How do you deal with people who try to con you as surely you must have experienced many of them? 3. Many Asians get jelousy when a relative is successful. How do you deal with such cases? 4. Parenthood advice and tips? 5. Has he considered a Akbar’s in Pakistan? 6. What does he see the purpose of life ?

[@53fczunb]

@MT-zw5kw Your welcome

[@TheCeoClub]

[@FantaLilt]

They would feel ashamed sitting in front of MUMTAZ. MUMTAZ never ever sold alcohol and big respect to him for that. As for Akbar’s and Aagrah then they made their money selling curry and booze.

[@tee9620]

I’ve heard that who ever sells alcohol and makes money from it then you are away from allah and the deen. But main thing is that it’s entirely up to him. I still respect the bloke for what’s he’s achieved and inshallah may allah give him more.

[@FantaLilt]

@@tee9620brother he washes dirty money he’s been doing it from day 1, what is there to respect. When you have dirty money behind you no recession or covid can hit you - which is why he never even felt it whereas we all know the hospitality industry was hit hard. I actually don’t like him because he would say his mum blessed his business but fact is alcohol blessed his business. How he used his mums honour when he knows exactly where his “success” came from. I’ve never liked him since. And if you know the streets of Bradford then you know what is what with likes of this guy.

[@siduk2636]

@@FantaLilt i know him personally and your lies are funny. Its not "washing money" but your brain is probably too small to understand that. If you ever owned a business or knew how they work you wouldn't run around hating someone's success. Don't claim you do because succesful people don't have hate for others.

If it remains like that then your audiences will never find you through KZbin Search. It must be on KZbin First Page! If you want to do SEO for your every video then you must need some keywords to rank your podcast KZbin Channel . I can do keyword research and proper video and channel Optimizetion for you to rank your channel and your video rank you up. How does that sound?
