                  A fire hit a kosher falafel restaurant in London’s Golders Green, days after a kosher supermarket burnt down nearby over the weekend.

                  The blaze at Taboon restaurant was quickly extinguished and there were no injuries.

                  Kay’s kosher supermarket, only 150m away, was gutted over the weekend.

                  However, the blaze at Taboon restaurant turned out to be caused by an industrial chip pan.

                  Four fire engines and the police rushed to the scene of the incident, which occured on the roof of the eatery at around 7pm on Wednesday.

                  The blaze was quickly extinguished and there were no injuries, despite the presence of ambulance crew.

                  The Community Security Trust (CST), which is responsible for the security of the British Jewish community, said: “Fire this evening at Taboon restaurant in Golders Green is confirmed as not suspicious.”

                  Following the Kay’s Deli fire, members of the Jewish community rallied round those affected, setting up a Facebook group to assist victims, and making donations to fundraising campaigns.

                  The Jewish News reported that Jewish communities across London reached out to help the dozens of families affected by a fire that engulfed a 24-storey building in West London. Grenfell Tower block of flats went up in flames in the early hours of Wednesday, with 12 people confirmed dead so far.

                  A nearby synagogue sent an appeal to its members, urging the local community to donate items for victims of the disaster.
