While neither worked in the restaurant space back home, Habib always wanted his own little spot for years. For a number of years, he would cater to families in the neighbourhood for picnics and events. He was working as a mechanic when the pandemic struck and says that he basically saw it as an opportunity to switch fields and find a place to do takeout.
