Leeds Indian restaurant Mumtaz to give away 1,000 free curries to local customers

The Indian restaurant chain is cooking up 500 portions of chicken biryani and 500 portions of vegetable biryani on Friday, July 3.

Residents living in LS1 and LS10 can head down to their local Mumtaz restaurant to collect their free curry.

Following another giveaway in February, a spokesperson announced the offer on Instagram.

The post read: "I just wanted to open up and do this small thing from Mumtaz Leeds one more time.

"It’s been a tough three months for all, it may not even get any better for some time yet too, but whilst we can I’m hoping this little bit of good will motivate others to do good (just as you have made us do good). Hoping it is a nice treat for all."

Food will be served in a takeaway box and handed out on a first come, first served basis.

There will be no limit on the number of curries taken per person, but the restaurant has asked people to be considerate of others.

Mumtaz will reopen for dine-in customers the following day, on Saturday, July 4, when lockdown measures are lifted.
