Shisha/Hukka bars are few and far between in central london so I was shown this gem by a friend who had been before. As we approached the place is looked like a small morroccan restaurant and the gentleman at the door with a fez showed us in. We took the stroll down the network of caverns lined with pottery and slippers first to a room lined with couches and comfortable sit-ons and then into a larger area beside a bar to our low seated table. It had a great eastern atmosphere about it- fancy artwork and scribing on everything and I noticed the place descended up to a restaurant area and had a basement down to another. The shisha we had cost £7.50 for a small which suited 3 people for half an hour rather well. THe place was highly relaxing and we were offered cocktails at £5.95 each which would amazing also. The customer service could not be matched by anything I’ve seen in this country before we were totally comfortable and had a great time. We even bought a fez for a fiver on the way out. The only downside was that my Shisha got a bit harsh rather quickly but the range of flavours including lemon-which we had, just made this a great evening out.
Overall a fab 8/10, great time and killer atmosphere.

i would so not recommend arabian nights in walthamstow… unless if u get the expensive ones the cheap ones will hurt ur throat as they’re harsh… holloway sometimes can be nice to hang with mates but the flavours taste old…

Was wondering if the smoking ban has had any effect on shisha bars in londrez…? Your write up suggested you were able to smoke inside happily?
thanks.

Can anybody give me the exact adress of these shisha bars, because I’ll be in London in two weeks!? I usually enjoy shisha everyday in my own shishabar.
Thanks

I definitely love this brand - I’ve attempted a number of flavors banana split, chocolate, grape, honeydew, etc. - I get a strong flavor and the smoke is great. I definitely stick with this as a tried and true success story. It’s incredible and gets a full 10/10 two thumbs up.
