A restauranteur who migrated to London from Pakistan as a teenager has been honoured in the House of Lords.

Suleman Raza has been handed the ‘Local Community Hero’ award for his ‘One Million Meals’ charity campaign.

The scheme provided 2,500 meals to under-privileged children last year and was highlighted by footballer Marcus Rashford.

Suleman started working as a chef in Brixton before realising his dream of opening his first restaurant in Tooting in 2004.
