Had the chance to meet the owner last night and boy oh boy, he's an absolute legend. Self made and determined. He has other businesses aswell . Very kind and helful. The place is for thoes who want to have a good time meeting friends and celebrating life . Hookah/shisha is the best in town . Hopefully we'll have the chance to come here again soon enough ....

This place does get busy but very cosy. They dont have much food (menu just exists). The soft drinks and mocktails are your standard but are served nice and cold. Hot chocolate was nice and desi tea (little too milky for my liking). They allow you to bring food from out to dine in.

Visited the place a few days ago to enjoy their 50% off food offer. The food quality was good and the service provided was commendable. However, it's worth noting that the discount applied only to main dishes; side dishes and starters remained at full price, which felt a bit misleading. Despite this, I would consider returning for the overall experience.

This cafe is lovely, with very respectful staff. My friends and I gather here on weekends and we are always satisfied with the service and menu. They are open till late, which is suitable for people like me who prefer to be in a place other than home at night. I highly recommend trying it out.

Very good establishment, all the staff was very nice, the shisha was very good and the mint tea as well. Although wasn’t a fan of the licorice flavoured one, the rest of them were perfect!!!

Good atmosphere and good shisha. Staff are very friendly, the owner frequents the shop too, very nice guy. They make good Turkish coffee here. Doesn’t feel seedy like some other shisha joints can
