HEART OF MEHTAB
During this difficult time, Mehtab East Indian Cuisine is stepping up to the plate, if you will. They are giving back to the community by issuing free meals to those who are hungry but may not have the means to pay for them. A Facebook post sent out by the restaurant mentions "Dear Friend, if you are hungry and have no money to pay, just come in for a free meal box or coffee anytime. Stay blessed." Thank you Mehtab for looking out for Cochranites.
