Review Summary

Arabesque is widely regarded as a top-tier destination in downtown Montreal, consistently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, exceptional music, and high-quality food. Visitors frequently highlight the professional and friendly nature of the staff, who are noted for making guests feel welcome and providing attentive service throughout their visits. While the hookah is generally considered a standout feature of the establishment, some feedback suggests that even greater consistency in charcoal maintenance could elevate the experience further. Despite occasional comments regarding table management during busy hours, the overall consensus is one of high satisfaction, making it a highly recommended spot for a memorable night out with friends.

Mon expérience que moi & mes amies avons reçu lorsque nous somme venu passer une soirée là-bas fut ordinaire vraiment. Rien de spécial. Oui le lieu avait l'air bien entretenue mais rien de plus. Le staff était un peu lent malheureusement & notre nourriture a pris un total de 50minute pour être servie, on a pratiquement eux le temps de finir notre chicha avant de recevoir nos plats. Sinon autre que ça l'ambiance n'était rien qui sort de l'ordinaire. Cependant leur plat était réellement vraiment bien très fortement notre coup de coeur de la soirée.

This is one of the more upscale hookah lounges we've been to .. tables with the holes to hold the hookah are lovely! Good atmosphere, decent hookah, good drinks, good service, little pricey but no big complaints here

I had a disappointing experience at this establishment. Upon arriving in sandals, the security staff refused me entry, & I was forced to buy sneakers to get in. However, I noticed that many people inside were wearing sandals. Once inside, we ordered normally. However, around 11 PM, the same security guard came to force us to buy bottles of alcohol, threatening to kick us out, even though we had just ordered sangria. I wonder now if sangria is no longer considered an alcoholic drink here. The lack of respect & poor communication from the staff really ruined our evening.They do not respect their customers; I am referring to both the security staff & the management. If you have the patience to tolerate all of this & more, this is the place to go.
