Hide AdRestaurant owner Kadir Akan said: “We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the closing of the restaurants in our town frequently. Therefore, we wish all our guests who want to come to us during lunch hours to visit our neighboring restaurants that have undiscovered tastes. We are greatly motivated by the possibility that we may contribute, even a little, to stopping this deeply saddening news.”
He added: “A great part of this decision is that our team members will have more time for themselves and their families. Without a doubt, when a person has enough time for themselves they will give you high-quality service while we are hosting you.”
Mr Akan has confirmed that the new supermarket in Grove Road, Dem Food Centre, is a project from some of the restaurant’s team members.
