Argeela

I’ve been to the place 3 times. The first time was a bit of a overwhelming experience as they had a few personalities in the building the second time was an absolute disgraceful experience as I had ordered food and it had taken them 45 mins (Yes I always time) to just bring a water of water to the table and almost an hour since I ordered food they informed me that they didn’t have the options I had ordered left.

So I never went back thinking that if the chef can not anticipate how much food is required or not know when to stop taking orders for a certain dish then the place really needs help.

After 4 years I decided to pay the place another visit. Luckily the place was very quite with around 13 tables.

The experience was great though there was no one at the top of the ramp to greet us. We sat down fairly quickly.

We ordered 3 cheese burgers and a few Shisha plus a slice of cake with sparklers for a friends birthday.

The burgers were amazing and in fact out of many Shisha lounges I have ate at I can say that this place has the best food (burgers) for a Shisha lounge. They were juicy, a very decent size, freshly prepared and very well presented.

Shisha had a few smoking issues but they were quickly resolved by the lads.

The sparklers has finished so I had to wait 39 mins for the slice of cake to be brought out. After the cake came out I went over to the counter after 10 mins and wanted to embarrass my friend more so I requested two more sparklers to be sent to the table which I was willing to pay for but their policies said that’s not allowed. ( never knew illegal Shisha lounges have policies too). I would have understood if the place was busy and short staffed but it was very quite and I was willing to pay for an entire pack of sparklers and only want them to bring out 2 and considering I had already spent over a £100 between 6 people it was a small ask.

Very cosy environment with open seats as well booths for larger groups. Music choice was very good too. The toilets were clean and maintained.

I would say there are a few design elements which also act as trio hazards so be aware of your stepping if you are sitting at the back end of the lounge in big booths.

There is parking available on the street to and if also say that the place needs to crowd manage a bit better and not let juveniles in. There were around 14 young lads in and out of the booth next to us between I’d say about 2 or 3 Shishas. And the fact the music in the place was very loud we could hear them clearly. It was almost like they were fighting talking in each other’s faces but I guess that part of their policy.
