But can he outsmart Debbie? And what does his father-in-law want when he turns up in Weatherfield?
Worried that Speed Daal can’t survive by relying on its takeaway trade, Alya, Yasmeen and Zeedan realise they need more diners through the door and Zeedan forms a plan to have a promotional tasting night. But he makes the mistake of telling Debbie about it!
As Zeedan vows to improve Speed Daal's menu to put the bistro firmly in the shade, Alya worries about the cost of using only the finest ingredients while Yasmeen’s just pleased to have him back in the fold and committed to the family business.
With woefully few bookings for the tasting event, Zeedan heads out to drum up some interest and teach Debbie a lesson.
But when Yasmeen and Alya break the news to Zeedan that they’ve been inundated with last-minute bookings, they also break the news that Navid, Speed Daal’s chef, has called in sick.
As the local food critic arrives at Speed Daal, Alya and Yasmeen are puzzled that none of their bookings have shown up. Furious, Zeedan guesses what has happened and returns to Speed Daal with a homeless man, Stu in tow and explains he’s arranged for all the uneaten food to be donated to Billy’s soup kitchen.
When Zeedan reveals he’s hired a food van, Alya is taken aback and Debbie is furious to find Zeedan and Alya selling half-price curries from their food van parked outside the bistro and threatens to report them.
Back at Speed Daal, Zeedan is unnerved to find his father-in-law, Hashim, chatting to Yasmeen. And when Zeedan talks to Hashim, he spells out exactly what he wants from Zeedan.
