Kardamom

What else you would need on a weekend other than a perfect arabian night!! Your shisha + special blended tea of your choice + awesome service = perfectly spent oriental night.

The cardamom coffee was incredible and the shisha was good too. Would definitely come back if I’m in Budapest for the tasty coffee and excellent hospitality from the staff. The cafe was also decorated in a traditional Levantine style which made for interesting viewing.

Reminded me of One Thousand and One Nights! I didn’t expect to find such a place in Budapest — it truly feels like stepping into a different era. The décor and atmosphere are unique, and the hosts are absolutely friendly and welcoming, like a magnet that makes you want to come back. We tried the coffee, kunafa, and karak tea. The coffee was amazing — honestly one of the best in town if you love authentic Arabic-style cardamom coffee. It had that cozy, homey feeling. However, the tea was far too sweet for my taste; I couldn’t take more than one sip.

This is the place where you want to turn off your thoughts. The music is too loud, though. We went here for a quick night-tea, turned out to be a 2 hour dining. Shisha is perfect, teas are authentic. The manager and the waiters are extremely friendly and are happy to tell you stories about tea and shisha culture. Cozy and easy to access, however the music dod not fit the place when we were there, that's why 4 stars. It really matters!!!

They serve a wide range (15+) of black, green and herbal teas, mediterranean and Middle Eastern snacks and desserts, shisha (non-tobacco version). You can also get some finger food and dips like hummus and eggplant cream. Their specialty is the cardamom coffee prepared in hot sand, mimicking the dessert. The interiors are very well done with mahogany tables and chairs plus marble.
