An Indian restaurant in Canada is winning hearts after it began offered free meals to anyone in need.
The restaurant has put out signs for anyone unable to pay for their meal to come inside and eat.
"Dear friends, if you are hungry and have no money to pay, just ring the bell below or come in for a free meal box/coffee anytime," the sign at the back of the restaurant reads.
Prakash Chhibber, the owner of the restaurant said it was difficult with limited staff to go out and ask people if they needed food, and that's when he decided to put up the signs at the door of his restaurant.

"I thought, how many people can I go and ask 'Are you hungry?' It’s not possible,’ he said.
‘So I thought, why not put up a sign? In case someone is hungry."
Anyone who comes in for a free meal not only gets the full menu to choose from, their food is prepared according any allergy or dietary concerns the visitors may be having.
While the restaurant has become the talk of the town due to this act of giving, Mr. Chhibber says he is not going out of his way to do this.

"We always have enough food," says Mr. Chhibber.
"I’m feeling sad, I think that I can do much more. I am already preparing food for other people. I am not going out of my way – this is my way of life. I am not doing anything extra."
"I always jokingly say that the front door is for paying my bills and the back door is my personal."
