Hookahs Cave — Restaurant in Mexico City

Hookahs Cave in Mexico City is one of those rare places that immediately feels special. From the moment we arrived, Demetri, one of the 2 owners, welcomed us with genuine warmth and kindness. He even let us in early and spent time chatting with us, sharing his story and how Hookahs Cave came to life. You can tell he puts so much love and care into everything he does.

The food was incredible. The first bite of my shawarma wrap honestly stopped me in my tracks. It was soft, a little sweet, and bursting with flavor — probably the best halal shawarma I’ve ever had. We also tried the falafel wraps and Turkish coffee, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

Demetri has created something truly special here. Hookahs Cave isn’t just great food and hookah, it’s a place that feels like home....

I had a very disappointing experience at this halal restaurant. I was served a burnt, dry, deep-fried beef shawarma with only 2 or 3 soft pieces of meat mixed in. When I politely raised the issue and asked if they could compensate by not charging for the poor-quality dish, the waiter refused without any apology or effort to make it right.

This place used to be much better when it was managed by Rayan about a year ago. Back then, the food quality and customer service were far superior. Unfortunately, it seems that standards have dropped significantly since then.

Not recommended unless management seriously improves both food quality...

An absolute gem in Mexico City! The atmosphere at this hookah place is welcoming and buzzing with a vibrant energy.

The staff here, particularly DiMitri, are incredibly friendly, always ready with a smile and great recommendations.

The hookah selection is diverse and top-notch, prepared with the utmost care and expertise. All the correct methods were employed in making the hookah.

The food is also a delight. Every dish we tried was delicious, adding to the overall fantastic experience. We particularly loved the shawarma.

A definite must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable evening out in...
