Brazil's largest home-grown fast food restaurant
The most popular products at Habib's are the esfiha - a small, round flatbread topped with minced beef or cheese - and the kibe - a croquette of beef shaped like a rugby ball.
These are deliberately priced as low as possible. Esfihas sell for 69 Brazilian centavos (31 cents; 18p) each, with the price falling to 39 centavos in some special offers.

Last year, Habib's sold a record 600 million esfihas - more than three for every man, woman and child in Brazil - and 60 million kibes.
