8. QD’s, Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, Deira (04 295 6000)
It’s your best bet when you want something chilled out yet cool. Its spectacular views of Dubai Creek are best enjoyed around sunset, but equally nice later at night. The venue is open until 2am on weekdays and until 3am from Thursday to Saturday.
Review by Neha Bhutoria:
We ordered two Shishas here, one was grape mint and another new flavour that we tried was the rose flavour. Both the flavours were superb, rose was soft but short-lived, whereas grape mint was absolutely mesmerising.

7. Haveli Lounge and Cafe – Business Bay
For some splendid B-town tunes, fresh concept and intimate bonding scenes with the tribe, Haveli might just be your best bet!
The quirky venue offers guests the famous Indian paan flavour too.
Review by S.Anum Rizvi:
Their menu has a variety of veg to non- veg options. Some delicious blend of Indian and fusion dishes. We tried kurkuri bhindi, butter chicken, chicken malai and a lot of other scrumptious food. Every dish has a twisted name but was full of flavours.

Review by Neha Bhutoria,
We went to this place for shisha and ordered some food also there !! We ordered some potato nuggets and ordered two varieties of shisha !! One was a blueberry bust and one was grape mint, the blueberry bust was quite different and grape mint was average.
