Arabica Lounge presents a mix of lively vibes, solid shisha, and tasty food, with many guests praising friendly and attentive service and others noting unfriendly staff and inconsistent attention. The drinks and flavors are well received, prices described as reasonable, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming even when busy. Positive experiences highlight generous hospitality and a satisfying night out, while negative feedback points to crowded spaces and some front of house issues that can detract from the visit. Overall it remains a popular spot for a social evening, where quality shisha and good food often shine through the hustle.
The main selling point here is the shisha. It is a relaxing fusion of Arabian nights with Afro beats vibes. It provides a unique opportunity to have an outdoor type sit out with friends indoors! The service is good & relaxed, the atmosphere is fairly good depending on the time of night & day of the week. The clientele is mainly youngish - gen x or early gen z. Lots of good natural vibes about the lounge

The only reason I haven't given 5 stars on Food, is that even though there menu is really good, & all of the items I've had are awesome; I feel they need a couple more veggie options 🥰 Other than that Music is always a vibe & Shisha you van always count on :)
I don't like the fact that they don't gave us a printed bills before we pay. I feel like sometimes they over charging us. The last 2 time we went there the waiting time to get a service at our table was HORRIBLE. We waited 30+ minutes to have a waiter at our table, she took our order & we wait another long time that we almost left even if we orders our drinks & the Shisha. Outside of that the atmosphere is really nice, we listen good music, the people going there are friendly.
I've been a loyal customer for years, visiting weekly. However, during the F1 weekend, I was shocked to be significantly overcharged without any prior warning. This happened on Sunday night after the F1 event was already over. Such a lack of transparency & respect for regular patrons is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.
Service is trash, prices are insanely high & they charge you more than the actual price on the menu. I paid 35$ for a sandwich. Never spending another $ there.
Tipped 15% m & the waitress with the fake lips & curly hair made a comment on the fact that next time, the tip should be minimum 18% lol. Why would I give you 18% when your service wasn't even good? Better be grateful that I even give you a tip.
