Aktar Islam, a luminary of the culinary scene, is a renowned chef who has played a significant role in transforming the perception and taste of British Asian cuisine. Born and bred in Birmingham, Islam discovered his ardour for cooking at a tender age, perusing recipes at his parents' Indian restaurant. Such early exposure to the nuances of food piqued his interest, subsequently guiding him into a successful career wherein his extraordinary culinary skills began to propagate. Launching his professional career as the Director of the acclaimed Lasan Group, he enriched the gastronomic landscape of the United Kingdom throughout several operations such as Fiesta del Asado, and Argentinian steakhouse, and Nosh & Quaff, a lobster & beer bar. However, his true crowning glory arrived with Opheem, a fine dining establishment in Birmingham that beautifully encapsulates his interpretations of Indian cuisine. No stranger to the limelight, Islam has graced several television screens, producing notable appearances on renowned television programmes including the BBC's "Great British Menu", where he emerged victorious in 2019. His innovative plating style, undebatable passion for cuisine, and ability to harmonise a potpourri of flavours have marked his distinction and showcased his culinary prowess on the national and global palate.
