A Manchester restaurant has rebranded after 22 years.
My Nawaab, formerly known as Merzee, celebrated its new identity with a grand launch event over the weekend.
The restaurant, which has been in the Manchester food scene for over two decades, is known for its Pakistani-Indian cuisine.
The rebranding marks a new chapter in its history.
The 'lavish re-launch event' featured performers, DJs, and 'culinary spectacles.'
The recently refurbished banqueting hall also hosted two weddings over the weekend.
Guests were treated to a 'vibrant food offering', showcasing more than 20 years of expertise and culinary skills from the restaurant’s team of chefs.
The restaurant's owner, Usman Malik, has been part of the establishment since its inception in 2002, when he was just 16.
Mr Malik said: "We’re incredibly excited to mark the start of our new chapter as My Nawaab – something that’s been in the works for quite some time.
"Our front-of-house team and set of expert chefs aren’t going anywhere, neither are the classic curry dishes loved by all.
"So, diners can expect the same fantastic quality of experience as they’ve become used to but with fresh innovation.
"Our rebrand launch event marks the start of a series of celebrations we have planned over the coming months, so we encourage lovers of our iconic flavours to keep their eyes peeled for events, surprises and menu updates.
"This restaurant has been part of my family life for many years, and I am so proud to be taking the helm at this very special time."
My Nawaab continues to offer an 'authentic fusion of Pakistani and Indian flavours, using only the highest quality ingredients.'
Diners can choose between an a la carte menu or the restaurant’s buffet selection.
The restaurant also boasts a banqueting hall, fully refurbished with a capacity for up to 500 guests for weddings and events.
