A heartwarming clip has taken over TikTok that shows a London restaurant gifting a blind woman a braille ‘happy birthday’ message made out of melted chocolate.

On Monday, Natalie Te Paa (@natbysight) shared the video to her channel, which has since racked up a staggering 8.7 million views in 24 hours. In the video, she writes ‘They had the chef write Happy Birthday in BRAILLE!!!... using melted chocolate.”

“We want to wish you a happy birthday”, the waiter can be heard saying as they handed over the chocolate surprise.

“I want you to give me your hand”, Natalie’s friend says before guiding her hand to the surprise message.

Natalie was clearly overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t believe the restaurant’s sentimental surprise, “No freaking way. They did not!”

“You guys are amazing”, she told the staff at Gino D’Acampo’s Luciano’s branch in London.

The viral TikTok video has since received 25K emotional comments. One commented, “I didn’t plan on crying, but here we go.”

“I’m not crying, you’re crying... I’m so freaking crying”, another added.

A third joked, “My black soul is now a light charcoal.”

Italian celebrity chef and media personality Gino D’Acampo even wished Natalie a happy birthday on her post. “Between the filming of this night, I was in floods of tears! So blown away by this team”, Natalie responded.
