A Serendipitous Encounter Leads to a Thriving Culinary Partnership

A Serendipitous Encounter in Manchester

It was a crisp afternoon in Manchester city center, the kind where the city's industrial charm is offset by a surprising warmth from its people. We had just wrapped up a meeting and were on our way to another when something caught our eye—a newly opened restaurant, Habbibi Manchester. The exterior was stylish yet inviting, with a hint of Middle Eastern flair. It was clear that this place was going to be something special.

Without a second thought, we decided to step inside. The moment we entered, we were greeted by a friendly host who immediately made us feel at home. We mentioned our interest in meeting the head chef, and despite not having an appointment, the host graciously invited us to sit and wait while they arranged for us to meet Chef Djafar. A few minutes later, we were sipping on some of the best coffee we've had, eagerly anticipating what was to come.

The Unexpected Connection

Chef Djafar arrived shortly, a man whose passion for food was immediately evident in his warm, yet professional demeanor. We introduced ourselves and showed him a few pieces from our Annamis collection. To our delight, Chef Djafar was not only impressed but also intrigued by the possibility of using our ceramic crockery to elevate his culinary presentations.

He invited us back the next day for a more detailed review of our samples, and we gladly accepted. That evening, we couldn’t help but feel excited about the potential partnership. It seemed that fate had brought us to Habbibi Manchester at just the right time.

The Big Decision

Two weeks later, we received the call we were hoping for. The Habbibi team was on board! They loved the vision Chef Djafar had crafted using Annamis pieces, and they were eager to move forward. The order was organized swiftly, and preparations for a new airfreight shipment began. The entire process, from production to logistics, was completed in just 20 days—an impressive feat that spoke to Annamis' growing efficiency and capability.

A Lasting Partnership

The first order was just the beginning. As Habbibi Manchester continues to grow, so does our relationship. We’ve gained not just a client but new friends who share our passion for culinary artistry and exceptional dining experiences.

We’re thrilled to see our Annamis pieces become a part of the dining experience at Habbibi, and we can’t wait to visit again to see how Chef Djafar has incorporated our crockery into his latest creations. This partnership is just the start of what we hope will be a long and fruitful relationship.

Check out Habbibi Manchester to experience their culinary delights, and visit Annamis to explore our full range of ceramic crockery.

Well done, Habbibi Manchester! We can't wait to see what you create next.
