His crutch can still be seen around his arm while he is in the restaurant, but he appears to be walking a lot more easily and steadily than he was while was asking for money.
In one shot he had 15 pound coins in his hand which he had collected in 15 minutes work, according to the MailOnline.
The man is said to be one of a group of beggars who operate in London's upmarket Marylebone and Edgware Road areas.
An onlooker said: "It was pretty shocking seeing the guy hand over his crutches.
"They seem well organised."
Westminster City Council said it was working with the police and the Home Office to tackle "a small number of foreign nationals who come to London for short-term financial gain and choose to sleep rough".
