Chef Mohammad Husain of Lazeez Hakeem® | Since 1971 was honoured with the Business Achievers Award 2023, recognising the brand’s entrepreneurial journey, sustained growth and contribution to the hospitality industry.
The award was presented in the presence of Shri Narottam Mishra Ji, then Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh, marking a proud milestone in the journey of Chef Mohammad Husain and Lazeez Hakeem®.
Carrying Forward a Third-Generation Legacy
As the third generation of Lazeez Hakeem®, Chef Mohammad Husain continues to carry forward the family’s culinary and hospitality legacy while contributing to its evolution through contemporary hospitality, culinary education and professional development.
A business award differs from a culinary one. It looks at the organisation behind the food — the consistency of the operation, the growth of the team and the way a brand sustains itself over time. For a restaurant whose kitchen has been running since 1971, that continuity is the achievement being recognised.
A Recognition Shared with the Team
The recognition celebrates the vision, dedication and collective efforts behind Lazeez Hakeem®, and serves as an encouragement to continue creating memorable dining experiences while preserving the values of its long-standing culinary journey.
Every award of this kind belongs as much to the kitchen team, the service staff and the guests who return, as it does to the name on the plaque.
Part of a Continuing Journey
The Business Achievers Award 2023 sits alongside other milestones in the Lazeez Hakeem® story — the Dainik Bhaskar Food Awards, the Pride of Madhya Pradesh 2025, and Chef Mohammad Husain’s speaking engagement at Bharat Ki Udaan 2.0.
Trust is our greatest asset.
