Whether you call it Hookah, shisha, hubbly bubbly, water pipe… we have a great one for those of you in Barcelona! Here are some answers to questions you may have…

Are there many shisha lounges in Barcelona? 

Ziryab has a set of beautiful imported shishas of different colours and sizes depending on what might best suit you and your group. Shishas – or hookahs – in Barcelona can be found in some Arab restaurants in the Gracia neighbourhood of Barcelona or in the touristic zones down by the Port; however, Ziryab is the only place that offers you great quality shisha, with smiling service in a wonderful atmosphere, and smack bang in the heart of the quirky old neighbourhood of el Born.

The hookah has a wonderful taste and smell, and in this sense it is much more pleasant than smoking cigarettes, for example. You can get the tobacco flavoured in apple, grape… even watermelon, lemon and mint, and capuccino! It might give you a bit of a head spin if you are not used to smoking cigarettes, but the hookah is also considered to be very smooth and does not need to be inhaled into the lungs at all. At Ziryab we use natural coconut coal, which allows for a much smoother smoke than artificial coals, and we keep your shisha fresh and topped-up at all times!
