Mumtaz (Urdu: ممتاز) is a restaurant group headquartered in the City of Bradford, Yorkshire, England. Established with its flagship restaurant on Great Horton Road in Bradford, the group has since expanded to include two additional locations, with the second restaurant in Bradford opening in 2008, followed by a Leeds location in 2010,[1] and a Manchester branch in 2016.[2]
In addition to its restaurant operations, Mumtaz Group manages a food processing division known as Mumtaz Food Industries. One of its primary facilities, which includes offices and warehouses, is situated in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire. The organization also maintains a collaborative relationship with Bradford College.[3]
Mumtaz Group pioneered the introduction of Halal baby food to the market. Its production facilities in Spain, Switzerland, Pakistan, Malaysia and France enable the group to export its products to over 36 countries worldwide.[4]
From 2010 to 2014, the group ventured into franchising by operating a chain of outlets called "Jaldi Jaldi." The inaugural Jaldi Jaldi store was launched in Leeds by James Caan in April 2010.[5] However, the majority of these outlets shut in 2013, with the last remaining store, at Leeds University Union,[6] ceasing operations in April 2014.
