Ghulam Mohammed "Bombay" Bombaywala is a Pakistani-American restaurateur in Houston.[1] In 1999, Magaret L. Briggs of the Houston Press wrote that Bombaywala was "well-known" and "perhaps most famous for sharing his rags-to-riches tale with Oprah's audience".[2] In 2006 Edward Hegstrom of the Houston Chronicle wrote "Bombaywala's rise to success is practically legend in Houston."[3]
