Cafe El Bahdja North African restaurant in Gloucester

Shisha at Cafe El Bahdja

With a menu that showcases traditional North African recipes using fresh ingredients and subtle spices Cafe El Bahdja is now Gloucester’s premier Shisha Cafe.

A shisha smoking culture has existed for hundreds of years in North Africa and the Middle East and that culture is now shared across the world as many people have come to prefer shisha smoking to cigarettes or cigars because of the delightful flavours that shisha can provide.

The culture of shisha smoking gives you time to think and, if you share a hookah, it can teach you patience, tolerance and an appreciation of good company.

At Cafe El Bahdja you can appreciate how smoking shisha can be one of life’s great pleasures. Why not come with friends and enjoy an atmosphere of contemplation and camaraderie in a setting that exudes elegance and tradition.

Shisha at Cafe El Bahdja… a perfect, relaxing way to spend some time.
