Restaurant owner bursts into tears after customer's offer

A restaurant owner said he burst into tears when a customer offered money to help when the venue faced closure.

Back in 2017, Yusuf Mutlu moved from London to Chester with his family before he decided to open his own restaurant in Wirral. Since then Yusuf said they have had a run of bad luck but he refuses to "give up" as Rokka has become a "popular gem".

Yusuf suffered a sudden heart attack in his restaurant after suffering from sharp pains and was "pale green and sweating". But he said he was determined to not let it hinder his successes. Then in 2020, just after the restaurant officially opened, the global pandemic hit, leaving the future "uncertain".
