Middle Eastern hospitality
Here a guest is never just a table number. We look after you the way homes in the Middle East do.
HABIBI Vár · HABIBI 3
A small piece
of the magical East
in the heart
of Budapest
Where the city slows down and the story begins.
means my dear in Arabic.
That's how we welcome everyone who steps inside.
Jewel-box interiors
Warm light, soft textiles, hidden corners. Step inside, and the city disappears behind you.
Two places, two moments
Afternoons below Buda Castle, evenings on Budapest's Broadway. Two different worlds, one kind of welcome.
Below Buda Castle
HABIBI Vár
A few steps from the Chain Bridge – where time stops after a day of sightseeing.
Afternoons and early evenings are for slowing down. A pot of Moroccan Mint Tea poured with ceremony, a dip platter in the middle, and a bowl of goulash soup when sightseeing calls for a proper meal.

- Goulash soup – only at Vár
- Deep Selection dip platter
- Cocktails and mocktails
On Budapest's Broadway
HABIBI 3 – Nagymező
Near the Opera House, in the heart of the theatre district – where Budapest's 1001 Nights begin.
An evening place – the first and finest stop of your night. On Fridays and Saturdays, a belly dance performance: the art of Middle Eastern dance, up close. Cocktails, Moroccan Mint Tea and a dip platter before the city's night carries on.
