Free Iftar food packs for delivery riders

Ramadan has been a source of sharing the blessing of the Holy Month as more individuals and establishments are playing their roles to carry out different kinds of charity works.

As part of its Ramadan initiative to recognising the relentless efforts of bike riders, Aminia, an Indian restaurant, is rolling out a heartfelt Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to support these essential workers during the Holy Month.

Throughout Ramadan, from 5pm to 6:30pm daily, delivery riders can visit Aminia Restaurant in Al Karama to pick up their complimentary Iftar food packs — a small token of gratitude for their dedication.

Each box will contain a sumptuous, freshly prepared meal, designed to provide the hydration and sustenance they need to continue their demanding shifts. The restaurant hopes to distribute at least 1,000 Iftar boxes during the month, with the capacity to accommodate more riders if needed.

Speaking on the initiative, Kabir Azhar and Asher Azhar, Directors of Aminia, emphasised that Ramadan is one of the busiest times of the year for the food industry, with delivery riders often struggling to find time to break their fast as they work to ensure timely meal deliveries for others.

They highlighted that this initiative aims to provide riders with a moment of relief and a nourishing meal, acknowledging their hard work and dedication throughout Ramadan.

The initiative is deeply rooted in Aminia’s 95-year-old legacy of giving back to the community.

In India, Aminia Restaurants have long upheld Ramadan traditions through charitable drives.

Now, with its presence in Dubai, the brand is committed to continuing its philanthropic journey, merging its core values with the region’s rich cultural heritage to create a positive social impact.

Separately, in the spirit of togetherness and generosity, a mall hosted an exclusive Iftar gathering at Pasha Sarayi, welcoming esteemed members of the media, VIP guests, and top influencers to celebrate Ramadan.

The evening was a delightful fusion of traditional flavours, meaningful conversations, and heartfelt connections, embodying the true essence of Ramadan.

Beyond the celebration, Mercato Mall in Dubai remains committed to the spirit of giving.

This Ramadan, the mall is once again joining hands with Emirates Red Crescent and Dubai Islamic Affairs to launch “Share Your Blessings” — a month-long charity initiative dedicated to supporting those in need. Shoppers are encouraged to donate essential items, including toys, books, daily necessities, and non-perishable food. To make contributions seamless, donation boxes will be conveniently placed at Mercato’s main entrance, ensuring easy access for visitors throughout the Holy Month.
