With one of the very best views of nighttime Abu Dhabi, the outside terrace at this highly popular shisha cafe is always teeming with appreciative puffers, smokers and gurglers. The service is attentive despite the crowds and if you're peckish there's a great menu including multiple fiteer (Egyptian pastry) options. Good mocktails selection too.
