Come across to read this and thought this is worth sharing. What a beautiful geasture from this restaurant.
A Turkish restaurant in Leicester is offering free meals to homeless and elderly people on Christmas Day.
Saray Mangal in Highfield Street will be working to make sure no one eats alone this Christmas.
The 'Authentic Turkish BBQ and Meze House' is hoping to inspire people to "care for each other no matter what religion, race, culture or language".
From 12pm to 4pm on Christmas Day this year, the restaurant will provide a three course meal for anyone who is elderly or homeless and may otherwise spend the holiday alone.

sorted byNot sure why people are complaining they are only doing it Christmas, they are a restaurant without income they shut down. Let them do something nice one day out of the year if that's all they can afford to do, and lets not criticise.
Heat added.
Merry Christmas
I will do. There is other local charities involved in it too. There's a lot of homelessness in Leicester and many charities help as best as they can. Please do if you're down this way, the good is excellent! Thank you.
Well done!

The elderly have a hell of a lot of support already available to stop them being on their own at Christmas (salvation army, age UK as well as many people posting on Facebook reminding people to check on their lonely elderly neighbours).
I myself am a young person who faces loneliness. My family died and because of battling with mental health problems, I have never had any friends.
Although due to mental health problems, I likely wouldn't be able to attend anything like this, I know what loneliness and isolation is like and can understand that for many in a similar situation, it would be taken up and mean the world to them.
It's discriminating against people purely because of their age. Surely there should be more focus on helping young people struggling with loneliness, because without that help, they will remain lonely all of their lives into old age (if they even live that long, because some days the loneliness can easily push someone to doing something drastic).
A wonderful kind hearted gesture.
Looking on TripAdvisor this restaurant doesn't particularly seem to come across as being desperate for the publicity.
It's a crazy world that the UK being one of the richest countries in the world having so many homeless. .....seriously something is wrong with our society....I've been to a lot of countries mostly poorer and some richer. ....I haven't seen a country so far with so much resources who let's this happen to this extend....walking around my hometown Nottingham there is so many homeless...It shouldn't happen in the first place....
Sadly this is the result of a total in balance and greed....and if you vote tory then have a word with yourself....You're part of the problem....we need to provide a cure not treat the symptoms!
Nice bit of barely hidden racism there.
Post your name and telephone contact number and I'll get you a job cooking/serving for the day..... you are of course offering to give up your Christmas day aren't you? (edited)
Not really well hidden either
