Since the government announced lockdown in March this year, restaurants and food businesses around the country have been affected in various ways.
While some restaurants have permanently closed down, others are looking at innovative ways to stay afloat, with many of them turning their establishments into takeaways.
After much deliberation fine dining restaurant Prashad too has come up with an incredible burst of energy and ingenuity to help their customers and frontline workers during these difficult times.
The 2 AA Rosette restaurant has turned into a takeaway social enterprise during lockdown, putting #CommunityChaat firmly on their menu.
Manager Bobby Patel said: “We are a fine dining restaurant this is our passion, this is our root and to convert to a takeaway was very daunting, something Minal and I wasn’t sure it was the right thing to do. But we felt there was a responsibility something where we needed to be able to potentially save our business and to be able to engage with the community.
“We wanted to make sure that whilst we try and run our business, we wanted to do some good.”
Chef and partner Minal added: “Over the last few weeks we have had the opportunity to feed some frontline workers, but we want to do more, and we can do that with your help.”
Their new #CommunityChaat initiative means those wanting to continue enjoying Prashad’s award winning vegetarian food can now do so in the comfort of their own home, but customers can also pay it forward by offering to donate a meal for front line workers.
