I would definitely recommend to visit the new spot for hotpot shisha cafe that’s now affiliated with kabob khana restaurant with delicious food and shisha place at the back of the restaurant. Address: 1328 danforth ave east.

I usually go to this shisha place . The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The guy named Omar is very professional and provide stellar customer service. The quality of shisha is really good they always provide new hoses in plastic packaging. The place has a good vibe very chill !!!

I had a very bad experiencie here. 😕 I went yesterday with 2 friends more, and as soon as i arrived, i asked to the waitress for the shisha section in the basement. She didt even looked to me and told me that if a wanted to enter i had to order before. I accepted that and ordered one shisha, but she told me that if we were 3, i mandatory had to order 2 pipes at least. I replied saying that they are not smokers, but they were going to have dinner and beverages. She just told me literally: No. If you want to stay here, and you are 3 people, yo have to order 2 shishas. Make your choice, it's up to you. I felt very uncomfortable, even more because i had came 5 years ago and used to be a great place, and i convinced my friends to take an uber and came to this place this time we were visiting the city. So, we did not even enter, and we had come back to our hotel. What a shame this place has such a rude person receiving the guests.

Food was good however I was going to the back to have some hookah and the staff was very very rude to us. I have been smoking in this area for years and never have i once been refused entrance. My friend was not allowed in because she looked young? And this happened twice. There are MANY hookah lounges better than in. Sultans cafe (scarborough), Starbuzz (across the street from hot pot), giving a two because i haven't tasted the food but have heard its good. However I will not be coming back here.

Great hookah (apple and mint is awesome), food and Moroccan coffee (personal favorite)!!! Service is great too, friendly people. A piece of advice: go with open mind! The place is not really beautiful and the ambience is full of smoke (obviously) but is just a matter of time and getting used to it. The best tables (first floor) have TVs and good music. I would give it a 5 stars if the place was better maintained (you can see odd cables hanging, sealing and walls need new painting, etc.).

Great place for friends to meet up, the shisha is good there. It's strong but not overwhelming. They know how to make their shisha there. Seating could be better but it's good. The only problem I have is the tables really, and space between the table and booth. The food is really good! I didn't even know they made steak there till recently. Their burgers and poutine are very good as well.

Great customer service along with tasty food and the best sheesha. Mature and friendly crowd. Music is not too loud unlike every other sheesha joints in toronto you can actually have a conversation and have a good time. Also good sports coverage and fast wifi!!!!

Laid back mature crowd vibe, low key spot and very grungy but chill. Good customer service, greasy spoon diner type food. Cost of Shisha went up to $15 though. Decent coverage of sporting events and lots of room on two floors of space

Sketchy is an understatement. First you have to deal with the gross sewage smell and a rude uninviting cashier by the name of Khadijah and you have to order a minimum of 2 Shishas that taste like how the place smells. If you want to get jippet out of a Shiaha mouth piece and sketchy service this is your place. Oh and they don t serve alcohol. And the basement is underwhelming.

Extremely horrible service. Old man making shisha is rude and screams at customers. Theres a million better places in Toronto. Keep this attitude up and customers will run away. Remember customer is always right.
