Cooking up a feast for charity will be easy for one pair of food loving siblings - because they now have their own Indian restaurant.
And despite only opening the kitchen at Indu’s last Thursday, brother and sister team Sunny and Kamni Dhown have already pledged to support the Mouth Cancer Foundation by giving annual donations and lending them the use of their restaurant for a couple of yearly charity events.
Mr Dhown, 46, said he wanted to help the charity after experiencing the pain mouth cancer can cause when he lost his 65-year-old mother to the disease.
He said: “I lost my mother four and a half years ago to mouth cancer and [for me and my sister] it is just about giving back where we can and remembering. Anything I do is better than sitting on my hands.”
Based in London Road, Twickenham, Indu’s has been named after the sibling’s mother and hopes to offer customers the added enjoyment of knowing they are helping a charity.
The charitable foundation supports people with mouth, throat, head and neck cancer by restoring, and promoting physical and emotional health.
Serving traditional home-cooked Punjabi food, executive chef Kamni, 48, will keep her mother’s memory alive by working with recipes she was given by her mother.
Brother Sunny said: “If you come to Indu’s you will eat my mother’s cooking. If we can’t serve my mother’s cooking we won’t operate as a business.”
