Question

Hello

Does anyone know nice shisha restaurants in Hangzhou please.

Answer

Hangzhou has a growing nightlife scene, and while it’s not as abundant in shisha lounges as cities like Shanghai or Beijing, there are still a few notable spots where you can enjoy shisha in a relaxed environment.

Most shisha lounges in Hangzhou are attached to Middle Eastern or Mediterranean-style restaurants, often offering a combination of food, drinks, and hookah. Many are concentrated near popular expat areas and the West Lake scenic area.

Aladdin Lounge & Restaurant: Offers a variety of shisha flavors, Middle Eastern cuisine, and a relaxed lounge atmosphere near the West Lake area.
Sky Lounge at Indigo Hotel: This upscale lounge has shisha service in the evenings, combined with cocktails and a view of the city skyline.
Oasis Cafe & Shisha Bar: Casual spot with a wide selection of shisha flavors, tea, and snacks; popular with young locals and expats.
Arabian Nights Restaurant: Offers authentic Middle Eastern food with shisha available in a comfortable indoor seating area.

Tips when visiting shisha lounges in Hangzhou:

Check opening hours in advance, as some places open later in the evening, especially during weekdays.
Many lounges have a cover charge or minimum spend per table, so inquire ahead.
Some establishments may only accept mobile payment (Alipay/WeChat Pay) rather than cash.
West Lake area and near Wulin Square tend to have more lounges and bars catering to international tastes.

Overall, for a pleasant shisha experience in Hangzhou, choose lounges with a good combination of atmosphere, food, and quality shisha, and it’s often best to book a table in advance on weekends.
