Tony Kitous is the owner of Kenza, Levant, Yalla Yalla, Shawa and the Founder and Creative Director of Comptoir Libanais Group.

His journey starts in 1988 when he comes to London with around £70 in his pocket, fast forward to today and he is involved with nearly 37 restaurants.

Tony's mission has been to introduce people in the UK to Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, he wants it to be up there with Italian and French cookery, and it looks like it is a success so far.

Listen to the challenges he has had since coming to the UK and how he overcame them to build this casual dining group.
