Reviews for Arabesque Hookah Cafe & Restaurant in Winnipeg, MB

Idk why people left such bad review, I almost didn't go bc of it but I wanted to find a new study spot and this one is perfect.... The music isn't too loud and the ambiance is perfect, seats are comfy and there's electric plugs everywhere...perfect!I lovedthis place, the service was excellent, Ben was really nice and fun! I had a Palestinian dessert and Moroccan tea and orange minthookah. All very delicious. They had all the flavors in their menu. Read more

Service is not great anymore, it took like 25 minutes to get our tea which was watered down already. Plus, the new rule is that... it's only 2 people per shisha now. Definitely not going back anymore. Read more

Shisha was good, ask for the coconut charcoal. The staff were friendly, however, we ordered dessert It was awful ????... unfortunately it was not good. But the shisha is great. I recommend this place for shisha only. Read more

Food is gross. Humus tastes like it was bought from Walmart. Rice tastes like microwaved Uncle Ben's. Garlic sauce was seriously... like a white paste. Giving 3 stars because the hookah is amazing and I appreciate the employee. Don't go here for food. Only gohere for hookah Read more

First thing I noticed was that it is very dirty here. We were told to sit anywhere, all the tables were sticky and there were a... lot of rips in the chairs. The guys serving us were kind of ?stand-off-ish?, and coming here with my friend was not really agreat experience (especially as younger females). They handed us a menu, and we picked our shisha flavour. They then told usthey only had 3 of the 20-25 flavours listed, so we decided to leave. Won?t be coming back or recommending to anyone.

We ordered Gum mint flavor it was alright. Flavor didn't last long. Palestinian tea was good but it was the same flavour as... Yemani tea (although Yemani was supposed to be with milk, milk was not offered). Turkish ?? was really good as my friends hadit. It's a good place to hang around, except just hope the exhaust would work little hard to suck the smoke out. Read more

*updated review Many things remain the same with a few changes. I deleted most of the food information as they will be updating... their menu. I got to order off the new menu. Everything we tried was great. They asked me for my honest opinion and there wasnothing negative that I had to say. I tried to find something but I was very pleased with the flavors. The salads are some ofthe best in the city for middle Eastern restaurants that I've tried. The photos I have of the interior are no longer accurateas they have added in some smaller tables to accommodate their busy restaurant. It's also better for when you only have 2people. It can get cramped if it fills up. I forgot to take pictures of the updated interior. Parking is available on thestreet as the restaurant is directly located on Corydon. This restaurant is on the second floor. ----- old review but what isstill valid----- There is no separation for people who smoke hookah (which is normal for most places that serve hookah) so ifyou aren't comfortable with that, this isn't the place for you. I do not smoke hookah, so the review I am doing is more aboutthe food. My friend does smoke hookah and you is his number one choice 2 Pros about this restaurants, they have a lot ofdifferent combo choices to choose from. They also have a nice assortment of drinks for non drinkers which includes a variety ofteas served in what looks like a copper pot with beautiful glasses. I am very interested in going there to try the rest of theirtea variations. Its comfortable and the service was very friendly and informative! Read more
