Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
There is no issue with this, as the restaurant owner has allowed freedom in terms of the quantity and type of food for those who pay a specific amount.
May you be successful in all good.
