Reza Mahammad

Reza Mahammad is a TV chef and restaurateur who specialises in Indian cuisine and loves to experiment with foods from all around the world

Reza Mahammad is often seen cooking some spicy creations on This Morning and is also known for TV shows United States of Reza, Delhi Belly, Coconut Coast and A Place in France.

Born in England to Indian parents, he took over the running of family restaurant The Star of India at the age of just 16. He particularly relished being able to put his own style into his business and, soon enough, was one of the most recognisable Indian restaurateurs in London. In fact, one of his regular customers - a TV director - was so impressed with Reza's skills he suggested a TV show ... and the rest is history!

On his website, Reza says that he loves "adding elements and ingredients that bring a new dimension to a traditional dish" and describes himself as "a firm believer in bringing a personal touch to cooking."
