Review Summary

Café Gitana is described as a cozy, exotic spot with Turkish decor and live music that elevates the experience for cigars, shisha, and tea. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, with a vibe that invites lingering conversations and evenings of entertainment. Service is often friendly and attentive, though some visits note slower or inconsistent staffing. Shisha is a major draw for many, offering a long-lasting pull, but several reviews cite issues such as shisha with little tobacco or limited flavor options due to policy. Turkish tea and mint tea, along with snacks like börek and baklava, are frequently highlighted as authentic and enjoyable. Pricing transparency can be inconsistent, with complaints about unclear charges for tea or mint and occasionally drinks that feel flat. Ventilation is mentioned as an area for improvement, with lingering smoke on occasion. Overall, Café Gitana stands out as a distinctive destination for a cigar, shisha, tea, and live entertainment, though some reviews call for greater consistency and variety.

Cozy cigar bar with shisha. Excellent service, I had a very nice waitress. The Turkish tea (with mint) was great, tasted authentic & the tea cup is definitely authentically Turkish. The shisha lasted a while & had a nice pull.

Quite good! The shishas were nice, however I would've appreciated more flavors. Maybe it was just a one time thing or a new law passed in Canada to ban flavors. Nice lounge, very relaxing! Great place to chill with friends instead of casual bars.

Cafe gitana was a vibe!! Loved the energy, the live band & belly dancing were amazing! You get 3 floors.
First floor - is more chill they have the bar & I saw some people bringing their laptop to work & some were playing cards. Upon leaving we saw a small band playing some trumpet

Middle floor - more chill just sitting & smoking sisha

Basement - they had piano & violin playing downstairs.

2 downside, 1. the place is a little small so it feels crowded. We went Saturday night it was packed we didn't have reservations but we got seated pretty fast. 2, drinks didn't taste like it had any liquor to it. I got a mojito & it just stated like mint with water.

Sushi was also good (I was told that they don't do any flavor) it was packed good & they also gave unlimited charcoal to refill which was a plus!
0verall, I'll give it 4/5 & will definitely come back.
