Our Story

Born from a love of fire, family, and the Argentine table

Habibti — which means "my love" in Arabic — is our way of saying welcome. We opened our doors in Pilsen with one conviction: that the best meals happen when people gather around something real.

Our kitchen draws from the asado traditions of Argentina's pampas — slow-cooked meats, Chimichurri made from scratch, empanadas folded by hand — and blends them with the warmth of a home where everyone is invited. Every dish carries that same spirit of hospitality.

The Experience

More than a meal — a feeling

Everything we do is designed around one question: how do we make you feel like you belong here?

Warmth in Every Detail

From the terracotta tones of our dining room to the way our hosts greet you by name — this is a place that feels lived-in and loved.

Fire-Driven Cooking

Our grill is the heart of the kitchen. Every cut of meat, every vegetable, passes through open flame — that's where the flavor lives.

Cocktails with Soul

Our bar program celebrates Argentine spirits — Pisco, Malbec, Patagonian herbs — reimagined with modern technique and old-world generosity.

"Best empanadas in Chicago, hands down. The Malbec sour is unreal — I ordered two. This place is a Pilsen gem and I'm telling everyone about it."
