My wife and I came here to relax after a long day and to check out the shisha and drinks…read more While the service was wonderful, I did take off a star above for one reason. When I step into a hookah bar, especially one run by a someone from the Middle East, I expect a much wider selection of shisha. They had a small assortment of Al-Fahker flavors and while good, Al-Fahker is not a strong tobacco, and that's the only brand they carry which I was disappointed in. Note: If you want natural coals, you'll need to ask for them...and I noted that coal service was excellent) The drinks and the food were excellent and the place had a cool vibe to it, but then again it is close to a college, so that was to be expected. It got crowded during our two hour stay and when we left the place was at least half full of people, all enjoying hookah, sipping on drinks (tea, mostly) and enjoying some of the great food that they offer. All in all, a good relaxing place with a cool vibe.

The sweetest old lady runs the place by herself & she makes a great Shisha. We came for the 2 nights we were in Montreal and ordered blueberry mint with a little peach. She doesn't start the Shisha herself so you do have to start it. The Shisha is smooth with great smoke. You do have to use 2 coals as it's a larger head but she gives you extra coals when she delivers it to you. Give this place a try if you're looking for somewhere to relax, study, or spend time with friends!

Tables and couches mostly utilized by students studying and conversing in English, French and Arabic. The husband and wife duo can speak all 3 languages and are very attentive. Quick-light coals are the default but you can pay to upgrade to square coil-heated coals.

Note: no booze but you can bring your own food or buy the snacks they have on hand.

After reading mixed reviews everywhere, finally decided to try this place out on a late Saturday…read morenight. Greeted with kind staff, we were accommodated quickly to a table at the back. Ambiance: I have to say, most hookah lounges do not pay much attention to their aesthetics but this establishment has kept it minimal but appealing. They have brown & black leather chairs and marble top tables. The place was filled with clients (both female & males) - this may seem like an odd comment but a lot of hookah lounges seem to attract an older mostly male clientele. My friends and I were very pleased to see a lot of female as we just left another hookah lounge after feeling out of place as it was a sausage fest (excuse my language). The music was on point as well! The hookah it self came with variety of flavors. They had a large selection of drinks (alcoholic & non alcoholic). Points for great indoor ventilation which appears to be lacking at most hookah lounges. It would have been great to have food options. A lot of customers seem to be ordering pizza and eat there.

Great service presented to us by Fayez, he look after us and ensures that our shisha never goes flat or needs more charcoal. So yes if you are a shisha fan give them a try and let me know how it goes.

If you are looking for a middle Eastern vibe. This is the place to go…read more We went here for a birthday on Friday night, they have a dj and during the night there was a live singer. The night was pretty entertaining. Dont except them to play any English music or what not. This place only plays Arabic music. This place looks great for birthdays and big groups. I won't suggest to go if you are less then 4 ppl. We thought that this place had hookah but to out dissapointment they only have hookah during the week. This place was still full of people even tho they don't do shisha during the weekend. Bottle service is not too expensive For food it was a fixed price for us maybe because we were a group, we all paid 60$ each and got a few different mezzes, by the time the meat plates came no one was hungry anymore I felt like the price of 60$ was expensive, I was expecting 40$ max. Although we didnt have high expectations from this place, we had such a blast honestly.

Cafe Ali-Baba is the shisha place with the most comfortable couches in Montreal…read more Normally that alone would be enough to secure its dominance over the shisha market, but they make it interesting with the ambiance. Traditional Turkish style lanterns hang from the ceiling, the music that plays over the sound system is chosen by guests, there's a laptop playing music on YouTube available for you. The shisha quality is consistent and very good. You'll notice the pipes are Khalil Mamoon and the tubes are sturdy Starbuzz pipes. I think the tobacco they use is Al-Fakher. There's no food but if you can believe it they don't mind if you have pizza delivered there or bring something in to eat. In terms of drinks they have a selection of those Arabic malt drinks called Barbican, an espresso machine and of course Moroccan mint tea. Overall, if you're looking for a place where your squad will feel welcome and comfortable to chill, Cafe Ali-Baba is for you.
