Shisha Experience

Pros:

• "Our birthday celebration was fantastic, and the Shisha was top-notch."

Cons:

• "Shisha are extortionate prices, before January 2021, it was £18 for basic Al Fakher, and premium for like £23. Now, ALL shisha's are for £30?? Regardless of the flavour."
• "Food was delicious and they do really good portions but shisha was a let down. Quite expensive and not great quality."
