The food delivery app is winning hearts online with its sweet gesture.

Thanks to the promptness of food delivery apps, getting our favourite dishes at our doorstep has been a hassle-free experience. However, recently a child found out that one can get more than just food delivered to their home. What started as an innocent move by the child, turned into a heartwarming experience as the company paid heed and in reality granted him his wish!

After Mumbai resident Irshad Daftari placed an order with Zomato, his four-year-old son started to send out various requests — from balloons to cars through the app’s chat feature. Sharing a screenshot of the chat, the father of two wrote, “In other news, my 4-year-old son thinks that if he messages Zomato with his fav things, they might deliver them to him 😍❤️”

The tweet garnered a lot of attention online and many found it adorable but what people didn’t expect was that the company would actually send a toy to their young fan.

The elated dad posted a photo of his kid with a red toy car, adding that while his little son was excited about the gift, his eight-month-old daughter was happy with the wrapper. Zomato Care also responded to the tweet and wrote, “Making our Junior Super Foodie smile is what we aim for. ^SS #ZomaLove”

The sweet gesture comes in the wake of a controversy after a Madhya Pradesh man refused to accept food from a Muslim delivery person. Those miffed by the food app’s stance decided to boycott their services and give it one-star rating online. However, this sweet gesture won many hearts. Many parents also found it relatable and appreciated the move by Zomato.
