Sahara Café

Great atmosphere and good sheesha/​hookah. It is the best hookah you can find in Paris trust me on this I’ve tried many places here and this is the best out there.

Endroit peu indiqué depuis l’exterieur mais très agréable, bien décoré, nous avons été bien accueillis ! J’y retournerai.

I recently visited with this place while on holiday with two of my best friends. We walked in and the atmosphere was quite nice. The place is a little difficult to find though being that is really tucked away. Also, they no longer serve food for anyone who’s going there for that reason. It’s just a hookah bar but a good one. Overall, the experience was good but let me explain the main issue of the visit and why this is only getting three stars instead of five. When we walked in we were seated and the guy said he’d give us a moment to decide what we wanted. I was confused as we had no menus so I asked and he told me he would just tell me what they had. Well that’s a little weird. Anyways we asked for his opinion and ordered something called cocktail, which was quite good by the way, so he then asked what we wanted to drink all three of us said water. He brought us three regular bottles of Evian. I had forgotten to specify tap water but whatever didn’t think it’d be super expensive. When we went to leave we had only drank two of the three bottles and asked for our check to pay. The hookah had been € 15 and our total was € 33. Yupp. That’s right each bottle of water had been € 6 what a joke! I was so upset by this. I spent more on water than I did on the actual hookah. The guy was really nice who was running it, the service was fantastic but I don’t think I’d go back. I left feeling cheated for an otherwise lovely experience.

Sooo my boyfriend wanted to go to a hookah bar that wasn’t gonna cost that much. We ended up here… it was VERY creepy at first because they are hard to find… and not really a big sign… They are in between about 4 buildings.
It was more of an Egyptian Hookah Bar…
DO NOT go to the bathroom here… I feel as if NOBODY has cleaned it in 5 years…
No toilet paper… and they had «bar soap»… who has bar soap?
this place was not a very clean place.
It would have also been nice if the smoke was filtered somehow… but it wasn’t.

J’avais trouvé l’adresse en surfant sur le WEB, cet endroit m’avait l’air idéal pour compléter une sortie musée! Mais,. OUI il y a un MAIS: quand je suis arrivée, il était ferméAUCUNE affiche, j’étais très déçue de né pas pouvoir y entrer car l’endroit m’a paru très agréable de l’extérieur.

this was my hookah bar when i lived in paris. go with a group of friends, mostly arab crowd, tucked away and hidden you won’t find it unless you are looking. great service and delicious hookah!

Mmmmm… can you say that about shisha?
The smoky room lends itself to a warm ambiance where you smoke fantastic shisha. Grape and mint shisha… mmm. The mint tea was nicely made (not too sweet… thank you.) and the service lovely.
In comparison to some of the shisha bars I’ve been to, the actual water pipe was large and the ‘tête’ offered enough shisha to go through two or three coals before it was done (between two).
The crowd was laid back and relaxed, puffing lazily while watching a football match and listening to loud music.
Apparently there is a restaurant as well… next time I’m in the mood for Lebanese I’ll swing by and give it a try.

Great hookah! Little pricey (20 € for 1 hookah) but the atmosphere and great service make up for it! Tucked away so you really have to look for it, but very close to the odèon metro stop!
