About
Our story…
Our Beginnings
Mr. Qurban, known fondly as Mr. Q, arrived in the UK from Pakistan in the early 1960s. With a deep passion for traditional Pakistani cuisine and expertise as a chef, he began his journey in a humble backyard shed in the late 1970s. From these modest beginnings, Mr. Q crafted authentic, home-cooked dishes that quickly became the highlight of large parties and gatherings, particularly Asian weddings.
As the years passed, Mr. Q passed down his cherished recipes and culinary wisdom to his son. Today, his son continues the legacy, running a thriving catering unit that serves the East Midlands community. Known for their exceptional flavors, their dishes have become a beloved staple at local events. By popular demand, Q’s Curry Cartel was born, making these cherished, authentic dishes accessible to everyone, not just at weddings and parties, but for everyday enjoyment.
Our Vision
Our vision at Q’s Curry Cartel is to bring the authentic taste of home-cooked Pakistani cuisine to everyone. We aim to make high-quality, traditional dishes accessible and convenient, without compromising on flavor or authenticity. So far, we’ve grown purely through word-of-mouth, with our loyal customers spreading the word about our unique flavors. Many have encouraged us to reach a wider audience, believing that more people in Derby and beyond deserve to experience these authentic dishes.
Our goal is to become a beloved household name, offering a unique culinary experience that brings people together through the love of food, while staying true to our rich culinary heritage.
