If you are looking for the best shisha in Riyadh then you will most probably already know that all hookah lounges are not equal.
Some shisha lounges nail the flavor
BUT
Lack the vibe.
Some of these shisha lounges nail the ambiance but their shisha fades faster than your weekend plans.
Don’t worry!
I have done the hard work!
If you are looking for luxury shisha, a rooftop shisha lounge, or just a solid spot with high-quality hookah, this list has you covered.
After trying over twenty different shisha spots in Riyadh I have chosen five of my favorites so you don’t waste your money or energy.
So, why are we still waiting?
Let’s get started and create some clouds in the air!
1. Rose Maison – Best Shisha In Riyadh
Located in An Nakheel, Riyadh don’t compare this place to any ordinary shisha lounge in Riyadh. This rooftop place has everything to make your hookah experience worth remembering.
With pink accents, hanging flowers, and patterned cushions the place feels like it was designed to enjoy good company and vibes.
My favorite is the outdoor seating area which is surrounded by greenery and the top is covered with a glass roof.
YUP!
Enjoy the rain with some shish without even getting wet.
They have a decent inventory of shisha options which include smooth, flavorful, and well-balanced flavors.
2. Nara Cafe
This hookah lounge has gained some popularity in the recent few years due to its unique modern style with a hint of Arabic ambiance.
If you are someone like me who wants to enjoy smooth, high-quality shisha in a lively yet comfortable atmosphere then this place is for you.
The restaurant has a nice contemporary design with traditional Middle Eastern touches which makes it more like a two in one place.
I love their rooftop seating area which has a nice waterfall in the middle with yellow lights and a clean white ambiance.
BUT
The indoors don’t compromise quality or luxury. The sofa seats are comfortable and the brown and black color scheme adds a sophisticated touch.
Their shisha is probably the smoothest shisha in Riyadh. They focus on high-quality tobacco and proper heat management, ensuring every session is consistent and flavorful.
If you love classics like the double apple and mint or prefer exotic blends, the shisha here is always well-prepared.
3. Arbol – Hookah In Riyadh
When I got into this place I immediately got the vibe.
COOL
LAID BACK
STYLISH
It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy your shisha for hours without getting bored. I love how they have big windows on every side of the restaurant to give you natural light and feel energetic.
I personally love the outdoor environment but if you have a large group then hopping inside would be much better.
The shisha here?
TOP CLASS!
I went for the classic grape mint, and it was just the right balance of cooling and sweet. The service here is fast.
Clean pipes, well-packed bowls, and frequent coal changes without having to ask. The staff knows their stuff and will keep the whole experience fresh for you.
If you like bold flavors they will have plenty of options to entertain you.
From what I saw they take their hookah seriously and try to give you the best possible experience.
4. Huqqa
The name says it all. The hookah at this place is probably one of the best I have tried in Riyadh so far. This place isn’t just known for the shisha they serve.
The ambiance, food and view all add up to create one of the best hookah lounges in Riyadh. The gold plating on the ceilings and dark black furniture make this place feel luxurious and expensive.
Huqqa is known for its high-quality, Turkish-style hookah, and they don’t cut corners.
I went for a premium blend with hints of citrus and mint.
And from the first inhale it was smooth, rich, and had a unique flavor which I haven’t experienced before.
They also offer some exclusive flavors that you won’t find at your average lounge, making it a go-to spot for serious shisha lovers.
They offer an indoor area where you can feel like a celebrity but I recommend going for the rooftop especially at night time.
The weather cools off at night and you get some cozy pillows, warm lighting, and an incredible view of Riyadh’s skyline.
5. Logray
If I could explain this place in one word it would be
STYLISH
The outdoors and indoors both have a modern and edgy feel thanks to the dark color scheme, exposed pipes, and industrial design.
The shisha here is quite famous and among the four places I talked this place had the most number of people who came just for shisha.
I tried their smooth double apple hookah. The flavor was fresh, smooth and lasted for a longer time than I expected.
They also have some unique blends, so if you’re into trying something different, this is a great place to explore new flavors.
BEST PART?
The place doesn’t just serve shisha and food.
They have live music performances so you don’t just sit there getting lost in your thoughts.
ARE YOU A FOOTBALL FAN?
They stream major matches, so you can watch the game while enjoying your hookah.
Whether you’re here for the music, sports, or just good company, Logray keeps things lively and entertaining.
