Taking a cue from an Indian restaurant in Canada, an Indian eatery in Melbourne has started offering free meals to those who are hungry and have no money to pay for their food.
A vegetarian Indian restaurant in Melbourne city has posted this offer on its facebook page.
"We will be serving free meals to anyone in need between 3pm and 5pm. All one will need to do is ask the lovely waitstaff at the counter that they would like a free thaali meal."Currently offered for just two hours, the restaurant hopes to be able to implement this throughout the day.
"Tips from our restaurants will now directly support this initiative and we hope that a positive response will see us implement this in store for the entire day every day," reads the facebook post.
SBS Punjabi recently shared a story of an Indian restaurant in Edmonton city in Canada offering free meals to those who can't pay for their food. The restaurant posted a sign at its back door asking anyone in need to ring the bell to enjoy a free meal.
"We saw a wonderful initiative started by a restaurant in Canada serving free meals through their back door to those in need. This really touched us and showed that we too can help the community by serving them our warm and healthy vegetarian meals," the post on the Melbourne restaurant's facebook page reads.
