The cafe owner launched a number of initiatives during the pandemic to help those in need.
This included giving away more than 60 kilos of baklava in exchange for donations to volunteer service Oxford Hub.
He also handed out entire meals for free to anyone who was in need.
On Christmas Day the Arabic cafe hosted a socially-distanced festive celebration and served a free buffet for the homeless and those that just needed company. Staff provided dinner for almost 300 people.
The cafe owner said one new employee is relocating from Brighton to start work next week.
