London chef refuses to close his restaurant during COVID lockdown, here’s why

Instead of welcoming tourists, office workers and regulars to the 75-year-old Punjab Covent Garden restaurant, the team started cooking meals and delivering to thousands needy as well as provided supplies to food banks throughout London, local media reported.

The restaurant’s owner, Amrit Maan said, “I made a conscious decision not to close. For us Covent Garden is a village, it’s a community. I just refuse to have the kitchens closed. It doesn’t make sense. It gives you hope.”

When the lockdown started, Maan said he soon decided to use his kitchens for helping the communities in need. The restaurant which specializes in North Indian cuisine was founded by his great-grandfather Gurbachan Singh Maan and celebrated its 75th birthday this year.
