A Butcher Shop In Dubai Gives Meals For Free To Anyone Who Can’t Pay!

It is believed that kindness doesn’t cost a dime, and it seems that it is indeed true! A beacon of kindness is shining right in the Mirdif community of the Jordanian shop, Al Afandi Butchery and Grills, which is doing something special. It has been serving free meals to those in need for four years, and here’s all you need to know about them.

Al Afandi Butchery And Grills Spreads Kindness One Order At Time

A Jordanian shop, this place has been spreading kindness ever since it opened its doors back in 2021. Al Afandi Butchery and Grills ensures that anyone who walks through the door does not walk away hungry. No matter who they are or where they come from, they don’t walk away hungry. Yes, the mission is as simple as that, but it’s certainly powerful. As revealed in a report by the Gulf News, the idea began as a heartfelt appreciation of the UAE.

They’re Inspired By The Generosity & Tolerance Of The UAE

With a sign outside that mentions that if a person cannot buy their meal, they can order for free, as it is a gift from Allah. The folks here are inspired by the values of generosity and tolerance, which is how life is defined in the Emirates. The owner has said that anyone who struggles can come to the restaurant and murder, and they will be given a free. No matter what the nationality, this service is given to the people.

How Does This Work?

As it happens, there are no terms and conditions for such people. Anyone who eats food is welcome to order. With this being a small way to give back to the UAE, the generosity is also a part of the business principle. Not to mention, initiative is embedded in compassion and respect, so anyone who is unable to pay and simply walks into the shop and orders what they need, whether it’s a sandwich, a full meal, or even raw meat. All of this is given free of charge!

The kind people here are truly restoring our faith and humanity, one order at a time.
