New cafe to support community projects set to open in Milton Keynes

07 June 2023

Namji's Desi Cafe, opening on June 11 at Acorn House, MK Community Foundation House, is a not-for-profit eatery that will be run by Naseem Khan for the community.

For the past 10 years restaurateur Naseem has been serving up food to those in need, giving away 100s of hot meals to families and individuals in Milton Keynes every week.

But now the owner of Namji, which has branches in Xscape in CMK and Wolverton, is taking things one step further with the launch of this new cafe in the heart of the city.

Diners will be able to donate a 'suspended meal' to provide a homeless person with a hot meal,  an easy way to do something positive in the community.

“It is about giving back to Milton Keynes,” said Naseem, “I want a place where every diner can sit down to enjoy their food without question. Having a hot meal is a basic human right. No one, least of all a child, should sleep on an empty stomach.”

“It's a not-for-profit cafe with the profits going straight back into supporting the community; to support homelessness projects, to help women with further education and so on."
