Millis -Shisha bar＆café — Restaurant in Sendai

Looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine? Look no further than Millis Shisha Bar and Cafe! Located near the heart of Sendai`s nightlife area, Kokubuncho offers authentic flavors, aromatic spices, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The moment you stepped through the door, friendly staff or sometimes the owner himself greeted you with a smile, guided you through the menu, and recommended their favorite dishes. The decor, with its bright and colorful accents, sets the stage for an amazing dining experience. They have some of the most popular dishes, including hummus, falafel, shakshuka, and grilled meats, which are typically served with a variety of salads and sides. One can also start with a platter of beef, lamb, or falafel, which are perfect for sharing. One of their strengths is versatility, with options for vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers alike. However, it may not be to everyone's taste to wait for food to arrive on their table, it is well worth trying for those seeking a new and exciting...

I ordered the beef shwarma sandwich to-go, and it was really good! It is full of meat, with (pickled?) cucumbers, tomato, red onion, and pickles, all topped with sauce.

Food choice is very vegetarian and vegan friendly. It has halal meat too as reported by Japan Halal TV, but I suggest you ask to make sure cause I didn't see any apparent halal mark. There are also soft drinks and non-alcoholic beer.

The chef is very friendly and he spoke both Japanese and English to me. I was only ordering takeout but he let me wait inside and even offered water. There were Japanese staff as well, also friendly. The atmosphere felt very cozy.

Sadly I only could order takeout, will come again when I visit Sendai. (visited on a Saturday...

The food is good, and I enjoyed the falafel pita I had here very much. It was also appreciated how clearly the menu labels the vegan and vegetarian options (of which there are several). If I were rating based purely on the food, I’d give this place 5 stars. However, I suppose because it’s also a shisha bar, the vibe wasn’t really my cup of tea. Also, the 500 yen per person table charge feels rather expensive and came as quite a surprise; although it is written on the front of the menu, it’s right at the bottom in very small print. For those reasons, I’d recommend getting food to take away instead...
