" After hearing so much about Shisha Cafe, I decided to take my family there for dinner. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the outdoor seating made for a pleasant evening. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the chicken tikka and a platter of their famous hummus. While the appetizers were delightful, I found the chicken to be a bit on the dry side. Nevertheless, the service was decent, and we had an overall good time. I would recommend this place for the experience and the hookah! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Shisha Cafe with my friends looking for a good place to relax and smoke some shisha, but what I found was so much more than that. The flavors of their kebab were heavenly, and the portions were very satisfying. The delightful desserts, especially the baklava, were the icing on the cake! The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, and the staff seemed to struggle to keep up. Overall, it was a perfect night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing food and service at Shisha Cafe! They really know how to create an authentic experience. The outdoor setup is awesome and allows you to enjoy your meal at your own pace. I had the lamb tikka, which was perfectly cooked and tasted divine. I cannot wait to take my family here next time. Highly recommended restaurant for food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Shisha Cafe last night with a large group for my birthday. The setup was perfect for us! Everyone loved the atmosphere, and there was enough room for table games! The highlight was definitely the mix grill platter; everything was cooked well and seasoned just right. The only downside was the end when we struggled a bit with our bill since it was a large group—definitely clearer communication would help customers avoid confusion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shisha Cafe has an absolutely wonderful atmosphere, and the hookah flavors are second to none. I tried the iced tea and the chicken kabob, both of which were excellent. If you are looking for a warm and inviting space to hang out with friends, this is the place to go! I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a regular at Shisha Cafe for a while now, and it never disappoints! The shisha is always well-prepared, and the diverse flavors available are top-notch! I love bringing my friends here, especially for the vibrant atmosphere and the live music that just adds to the vibe. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable. My favorite dish? Definitely the biryani, which is always bursting with flavor. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shisha Cafe is quite possibly my new favorite hangout. I took my colleagues here for lunch, and we had a fantastic time! The ambiance is lively yet comfortable, perfect for chatting over amazing food. We shared a Mix Dip plate, followed by their famous lamb burger, which was sublime—juicy and packed with flavors. The drinks were refreshing, too! Top that with friendly service, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
