The Art of Shisha
At Azar, shisha isn't an afterthought. It's a considered offering.
Natural Pressed Charcoal
Only natural pressed charcoal, with no chemical additives. It heats slowly, holds the heat for a long time and doesn't produce that chemical aftertaste that ruins a session. The charcoal is changed discreetly, without interrupting your evening.
Premium Imported Tobaccos
The tobacco selection is rigorous — controlled provenance, freshness guaranteed on receipt. No old stock, no approximate blends. What you smoke at Azar matches what's listed on the menu.
Signature Preparation
Azar's team prepares each shisha using a precise technique: tobacco dosing, heat-humidity balance, charcoal placement. The result is consistent, even smoke from start to finish — no rough patches, no sudden drop-off.
Well-Maintained Equipment
Hookahs are cleaned between each use. Fresh mouthpieces for every customer. Hygiene isn't optional — it's the starting point. This is rarely mentioned elsewhere, yet it changes everything.
Flavours
Five options, from the familiar to the unexpected.

Azar House Blend
The Lounge
The shisha at Azar comes with a setting built around it.
The Mezzanine
Most shisha is served on the mezzanine — the upper level above the main dining room, with a full view of the stage below. The show plays out downstairs, the energy settles, the evening winds down naturally. It's the right place to unwind after the dinner show.
The Outdoor Lounge
Open all year round, the outdoor lounge is the other place to enjoy a shisha. Low seating, soft lighting, slightly away from the music: the choice for those who want to talk in peace.
Cocktails & Drinks
Shisha pairs well with a drink. Explore our cocktail menu with oriental syrups, fresh juices, mint tea or Turkish coffee. The bar team knows the pairings — feel free to ask for a recommendation.
Discreet Service
The charcoal is changed when it needs to be, without being asked. The team comes, checks, moves on. It's not intrusive — it's just done properly.
Background Music
The DJ holds the room every night, with a Moroccan, Lebanese and oriental repertoire. The volume is calibrated so conversation stays easy. When the main show downstairs ends, the music carries the atmosphere forward.
WiFi Available
High-speed WiFi available for customers. Ask the team for the access code on arrival.
