South Woodford’s Grand Trunk Road has appointed Iqbal Ahamad as head chef following the recent inclusion into the Michelin Guide 2022.
From a career beginning at Marriott Hotel, Ahamad’s work has “travelled” through a collection of establishments across his twenty-year career, including New Delhi’s Hilton, Buckinghamshire’s Spice Merchant, Red Fort in Soho and Edgware Road’s Pakhtoon.
The restaurant said it “continues to uphold” its reputation for premium quality as it recently launched a new brunch menu.
Dishes include north sea monkfish fillet with a blend of ground spices and lemon; double lamb chops marinated in fennel, star anise, raw papaya and crushed spices; and Lobster cooked with black peppercorn, citrus, garlic and tomato masala.
Rajesh Suri, owner, said: “Ahamad is a wonderful new addition to our fold; his appointment as head chef marks a delicious new era for Grand Trunk Road and a wonderful way to begin the new year.”
