Mustafa, who says he "couldn't live anywhere else", reckons the best part of Bradford has to be its diversity, with the city benefiting from so many different cultures living within close proximity.
While pretty York may get all the compliments, Cinderella city Bradford has a quiet grandeur, with enough breathtaking Victorian architecture to please passing history buffs, and blue plaques aplenty.
"What Bradford people get wrong about Bradford, is the idea that we're worse than everywhere else - and we're not".
Reflecting on whether he regards Bradford as a hidden gem, Mustafa, who has lived in the city for 21 years, says: "It really is.
Especially the city centre, People seem to think it's rough and all that, but all you have to do is lift your head as you are walking, look at the buildiings you are walking inbetween, to realise what a beautiful place it is.".
