habibi's restaurant

Back.

: not all restaraunts opened its doors to in-person dining.

As abc 36s bobbi mcswine tells us.one lexington restaurant reached a milestone today.but is staying mostyl curbside for now.

Pkg nat pop there you are, have a good one.

Habibis sweets and pastries is a small, family-owned restaurant.with a humble beginning.

Sot when we moved here as immigrants, it was always our dream to open our own pastry store.

But co-owner fouad froukh says it was a nightmare realizing the shop had to close because of the coronavirus.

Sot it felt like a dream.

It felt like it was not reality.

We didnt know how we were going to survive.

Now.the shop is celebrating two years in business.the same day resturants across kentucky are able to re-open at 33 percent capacity.

Nat pop so our most popular is our.

Co-owner fouad froukh says customers can now walk in.but wont be allowed to sit down until at least after memorial day.

Sot were probably go down to 3 or 2 tables for right now and see how things go.

He says habibis mostly caters.and of course that hasnt been able to happen for months.

But.the shop has gotten support from non-profits that buy food to donate to front line workers.

Sot we sending out 10 boxes, 15 boxes a day.

So it was definitely mind- blowing to see that much support from the community.

Froukh says habibis will continue donating pastries even after the pandemic.because he says its important to always remember those who lent a hand.when it was needed most.

Sot do things for the community, so the community helps you as well.
