Soooo, just a simple evening with my friend. And we ended up at this place. Eslam took care of us, SHE IS THE BEST!!! All her suggestions were spot on, and the food was outstanding. We didn’t finish the food yet, but we already want to go back. Crazy good!!!! Karat chai – fire we didn’t plan to eat at all it’s 11pm, but ordered some dessert and oh boy!!! Please come try it ALL!!! This place and Eslam took us to the Middle East, it was more than just a visit – it was the best experience

Great spot, amazing service, super chill. Love the atmosphere here. One of the few remaining “third spaces” where one can go to get work done, smoke, eat and relax a while. Food is absolutely excellent and truly authentic. Taha and Brett are wonderful servers very professional and knowledgeable about the shisha flavors and funny too! Very warm place. Love coming here.

We had such a great time at Shisha Cafe. Everything about the visit felt relaxed and welcoming, which made it really easy to just sit back and enjoy ourselves. We ordered the orange mint shisha, and it was honestly excellent—smooth, flavorful, and not overwhelming at all. Definitely one of those flavors you keep coming back to during the night.
The food was a highlight too. The family platter was perfect for sharing and had a really nice variety, and the shawarma Arabi was fresh, warm, and full of flavor. You could tell care was put into how everything was prepared.
What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waitress Eslam was kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely taken care of without rushing us or hovering. It made the whole experience wonderful.

Absolutely loved our experience at Shisha Cafe! From the moment we arrived, everything was just perfect. Eslam, our server was very helpful. She recommended the Eslam mix of the shisha, and it was phenomenal—smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Easily one of the best flavors we’ve had.
The service was outstanding, attentive, and friendly, She made sure we were comfortable the entire time without ever being intrusive. She truly elevated the whole experience.
The food was just as impressive. The family platter was generous, flavorful, and perfect for sharing, and the shawarma Arabi was absolutely delicious—fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The beef kofta deserves a special mention.
Overall, Shisha Cafe delivered on every level: amazing shisha, delicious food, and top-tier service. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly, highly recommend! ✨

From the moment we walked into Shisha Cafe it was clear why locals love this spot so much.
Chicken Combo: This is a must-try! The perfectly seasoned chicken kabab paired with juicy chicken tikka was cooked to perfection.
Biryani Rice: Don’t sleep on this side dish the biryani rice is aromatic, fluffy, and packed with subtle spices that elevate the entire meal. It was easily one of the standout parts of the plate and a perfect complement to the grilled meats.
Service: The service here was top-notch thanks to our waiter, Eslam. Attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced, Eslam made this a great dinning experience.

Group of 3 guys who have never eaten Mediterranean food and we were blown away. Taha was our server and we let him pretty much order the entire meal for us and gave us an excellent eggplant salad that was delicious as an appetizer. We split the family kebab platter and whenever they tell you to order it, TRUST THEM. The chicken, beef, and lamb were exceptional and then we tried 3 different desserts as well. 100% will be back and easily one of the best meals we have had this year. COME TO THIS RESTAURANT!

Eslam is fantastic. A very attentive server, always aware of what we need and Has the foresight to anticipate our needs. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Especially the Toom. We come here specifically for that because it is delicious with the fresh flatbread. Place says an incredible atmosphere. The staff is friendly and it’s a great place to go with your friends just to chill out and enjoy good food.

I love coming to Shisha’s, especially when Heila is working. She takes such good care of all her customers and I’ve never had a bad experience while she’s here. She’s so friendly and accommodating and it makes this place the perfect place to hang out at night. Food is also always good, my personal favorite is the chicken kabobs!!
