A Muslim-owned restaurant is looking out for the lonely and vulnerable this festive season by offering a free feed.

A three course spread, including chicken shish and Turkish yogurt dip caick, will be served to the homeless and elderly who turn up to Shish Restaurant in London between 12 and 6pm on Christmas Day.

The initiative has been attracting lots of love on social media after photos of the shopfront's posters were shared on Twitter.

“No one eats alone on Christmas Day,” one poster reads, “We are here to sit with you”.

Restaurant employee Hasan Masud tells BuzzFeed News, “We’re just helping people.”

“Lots of people stay home alone for Christmas… They don’t need to. They can come here and have some fun.”
