He’s the co-owner of Habibi Latina, a Latin American and Mediterranean fusion restaurant that has caught thousands of viewers attention on social media. The restaurant opened its doors to the public in August and is located at the heart of the city’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood.
Charif said he was living in Michigan and settled down in Cleveland around a year ago to live with his wife of seven years.
“Habibi Latina, came out of Latin love because my wife is Puerto Rican. I am from Lebanon, the Middle East,” he said.
