Arabian Nites Birmingham — Restaurant in Birmingham

CASH ONLY !!!

There is a ATM machine inside but it charges you to use it.

I recently visited Arabian nites with a group of friends, expecting a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but pleasant.

Firstly, the ambiance was far from inviting. The lounge was dimly lit, but not in a cozy or atmospheric way—instead, it felt dingy and poorly maintained. The furniture looked worn and uncomfortable, and the overall cleanliness was lacking. We had to brush off crumbs and ashes from our seats before sitting down.

The service was another significant issue. Despite the lounge not being crowded, the staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. It took an inordinate amount of time for a server to take our order, and when the hookah finally arrived, it was poorly prepared. The coal was barely lit, and the flavor was weak and harsh. After it being taken away 4 times and ( fixed ) it was still poor We had to repeatedly request assistance to adjust the hookah, but the staff's responses were slow and indifferent.

To make matters worse, the music was excessively loud and completely out of sync with the intended atmosphere. Instead of creating a laid-back vibe, it made conversation difficult and added to the overall discomfort. The ventilation was also inadequate, causing the space to quickly fill with smoke and become stuffy.

The drinks and snacks we ordered were equally disappointing. The drinks were overpriced and tasted watered down, while the snacks were stale and unappetizing. It felt like an afterthought rather than a well-rounded part of the lounge experience.

Overall, Arabian nites failed to meet even basic expectations. The combination of a shabby ambiance, poor service, substandard hookah, and unappealing refreshments made for a thoroughly unenjoyable visit. I would not recommend this lounge to anyone looking for a quality hookah experience.

If you want a halal nightclub with poor hookah and money to burn feel...

My car was vandalised (see attached) by guys driving up and down in their cars outside Arabian Nites because they didn’t receive the attention they wanted. It was parked RIGHT outside. After asking for CCTV footage via their Instagram page Arabiannites birmingham DENIED they had any cameras outside and were unable to help. After sending them photographic evidence of their cameras outside, they changed their story and said that they didn’t say they have cameras. They said that their cameras didn’t work. (See screenshot) The whole road including the lounge has several cameras so not sure why they mentioned that “there is no cameras in the area” My Audi badge was ripped off and scratches were left in the middle. My number plate was half ripped off AND my petrol tank cap was also left open and damaged so was unable to close and it was surrounded by deep key scratches. Baring In mind this is a sports car the damage is going to cost me approximately £800. The moment we walked out our car to step in the venue and whilst returning to our car we were verbally abused and harassed by boys driving up and down in their cars (2nd time this has happened now). Registrations were taken and the police have been involved. Owners of the vehicles were found within 24 hours of the incident after the help of family friends and social media platforms. All partnership owners should be extremely disappointed in themselves. You have not only failed to abide by your business regulations and ethics but also your religious values and principles as a duty to help protect your customers safety which should have been focal after what happened to this lounge initially (the reason why it was shut down in the first place). I won’t be returning....

I have been coming here for many years. Its been a while since I visited, so I did see a quite decline in services. However, I came with my bestie on a weekday, so it was good for a catch up. Very chilled, cosy. I just felt that on that day, the place didn't seem as clean as it usually is. Nevertheless, this was out of the ordinary.

We have visited both on weekend and weekdays, on weekends it is more loud, more of a party vibe. Goes by it's name, like you're in Dubai and vibing. I personally don't smoke, so I can only go on my friends expertise and she says the shisha is always good. As she's expert, that means it's good!

For me, the wannabe food critic. I've never been disappointed with the food, I've tried variety of foods from here and always enjoyed it. My favourite dishes are: steak and chicken taouk. I always request the steak with mash and chicken with fries. Their cheeseburgers also hit the spot to be honest. Mocktails, my favourite is the Blue Lagoon...its sweet but delicious.

On weekend used to have live entertainment such as belly dancing, fire eaters and DJ. From what I've been told, no longer bellydancer. However, best to ask ahead just in case.

It is one of my favourite spots, as you can have both chilled day and entertaining day. Depending on your vibe, day you go.

Only negative, lot of time you have to pay cash which can be annoying as the cash machine on site charges. So, take with you cash so you don't get charged. Other than, it's always my go to.

Overall rating 8.5/10 Food though 10/10 simple but...
