Mab Hussain, Icestone Group chief executive, feels the company’s reputation will help Moody’s be a success.

He said: “We have been going for almost a decade now as the Icestone franchise.

“I have always been around the fast food game. We have already sold eight Moodys franchises.

Customers can even play noughts & crosses as a station is set up near the entrance.

There is also a prayer room available inside the restaurant – which is located in Fieldhead Shopping Centre next to the Greggs.

Mr Hussain added: “It is a restaurant and takeaway.

“The burgers and pizzas are both made in-house.

“We have unique recipes. Nobody does full fried chicken like us.”

Icestone Desserts – which opened as Icestone Gelato in 2013 – has since set up branches across the country.

Mi Chaii only started in September 2019 and has also expanded to other places in the UK.

Last September, Icestone Group won the prize for the best food and drink business of the year at the Yorkshire Asian Business Association Awards (YABA) held at the Cedar Hotel in Bradford.

At the time, Mr Hussain said: “I was shocked when we won the award.

“It’s all down to the hard work of the team, the soldiers in the shops. It is all a team effort.

“The award win shows that hard work pays off and then you get recognised.”
