Prepared properly, every single bowl
Shisha is the heart of Arab Night. Every bowl is packed by hand by staff who have been doing it for years — fluffed, not pressed, so the airflow stays open and the smoke stays cool. We use natural coconut coals rather than quick-light, which means no harshness and no chemical aftertaste, just clean flavour from the first draw.
Our team walks the floor constantly. Coals are rotated and refreshed throughout your session without you having to ask, so the bowl never turns bitter halfway through the night. It is a small detail, and it is the reason guests tell us our shisha beats lounges in London and Cardiff.
Flavours and blends
We stock premium leaf from the best-known houses alongside our own mixes. Expect the classics — double apple, mint, grape and lemon — plus fruit-forward blends such as watermelon mint, blueberry, passionfruit and strawberry cream. Ask the team for a custom mix and they will build something around what you like.
Fresh fruit heads are available on request: a hollowed pineapple, melon or orange in place of a clay bowl, which keeps the smoke exceptionally cool and adds a natural sweetness. They take a few extra minutes to prepare and are worth the wait for a birthday or a special occasion.
The setting
Choose a blue velvet booth on the main floor, a marble table beneath the chandeliers, or the private majlis room with traditional Arabic seating for larger groups. The lounge is fully ventilated and heated, with a covered terrace for guests who prefer to sit outside.
We are open seven days a week from midday, until 1 am Sunday to Thursday and 3 am on Friday and Saturday — one of the latest shisha lounges in Bristol.
