    Belgian Waffle £25 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there’s a new lounge you know shisha spots needs to try it out! Came across this lounge during the questionaire I ran last week, only opened on Monday therefore I decided to pop down today. This nice little lounge is located in the industrial park around Barking which is ideal and easy to get to. Upon entering we were greeted and sat down and given menus. Decided to order something I haven’t tried before so Belgian Waffle by @trydailyhookah. Shisha came out within 10 minutes in a nice model X hookah by @alphahookah.run and a hmd. First pull just wow the smoke was extremely clean with smooth and massive clouds. With 2 coals the smoke was thick! The flavour was banging it’s the first Russian tobacco I have smoked and it fully banged! The service was impeccable they guys know how to look after their customers. Seating was comfortable and laid out nicely, felt really cosy. The vibe was just perfect although the football was on there was music in the background. Can’t fault the price especially with the smoke quality, this lounge invested in excellent equipment and it shows, we smoked for 2 hours (I made sure I spent 2 hours) and the flavour was clean and still coming through. As it’s in the industrial estate there’s plenty of parking about and the best thing is both cash and cards accepted with £1 from the shisha going towards charity which is a nice thing. I hope these guys do good as it’s one of the best smokes I’ve had. Remember to follow @shisha_spots on instagram

    This is by far one of the best best place to come for Shisha! Flavours are awesome, favourite of all time...... LIMELIT. 😊 But there there many great flavours. They really pick and source some of the finest quality flavours, and make them so well, you can tell they are passionate about what they do. The service is flawless, warm, friendly and attention to detail. Really nice guys that are always welcoming. Space is a little small, but they are expanding at the back, can't wait. Would highly recommend this place to all Shisha connoisseurs!!

    The smoke was really good and service was good too, until I found an additional 10% tax included in the bill which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu nor verbally. Prices of items in this country are always VAT included so this is a hidden cost and not correct business practice. I've heard of a discretionary service charge, but what is this extra 10% tax added onto the bill? Never heard or experienced this before in all my life. I'm not even sure this is legal. Moral of the story is to be transparent about pricing as it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of customers who haven't been made aware of this, not to mention prices are already on the upper end of shisha lounges. Just to add, I'd say that the ambience of the lounge definitely doesn't match the instagram appearance, slight catfish there. The brothers should aim should be to rectify this really. Response to lounge: as another customer has mentioned, I of course agree that VAT is chargeable as the tax is added to every purchase made on goods and services in the UK. However, menu prices are always inclusive of the tax and your menu does not state that prices exclude VAT. The lack of transparency led me to initially suspect this is deceptive business practice. I'm glad to hear that improvements will he made to address this issue.

    Best shisha lounge in London!! I have been coming to this lounge since 2020 and have never ever had a bad experience here. The boys are so polite and respectful. The service is great. Rarely wait ages for our order - if we do wait a while its most likely because they have either just opened or its very busy. Reading the negative reviews on here is quite upsetting because I know these boys go above and beyond for all of their customers. I have seen it for myself. Small shisha lounge? Yes it was, now they have expanded which has made a big difference. Rude service? Sorry but you have the wrong lounge! Always 10/10 service. Too many guys? Only on football or boxing nights! And the customers are so respectful here. I never feel awkward here unlike other places! The flavours are always AMAZING here!! I don’t live in London anymore but when I do visit London, Tamak is always part of my visits! Customers mostly want a lounge which is instagrammable etc. Tbh I like the layout in Tamak. Its cosy & comfortable. The smoke is the most important one for me and service ofcourse. Its what you’re paying for and Tamak delivers it all! I’ve been to lounges with all the floral decor etc etc, but you’re not comfortable on those sofas and the flavour is like Starbuzz or Savacco? Nothing wrong with them but Blonde leaf is my fave - still not on the dark side yet!! Only suggestion I would make for the boys is: bring back food! I remember there was little nibbles on the menu so I reckon thats all really. Nothing bad to say! Carry on with the great service and we’ll see you this weekend! 😅

    Never seize to disappoint. Service is the best and they go above and beyond to satisfy their customers, 👌🏼. Next best thing: TAMAK team is generous and kind too, how ? If you’re new to the dark leaf tobacco, they let you choose your choice of flavours and if it’s happened to be a bad choice then you can get it changed, how cool is that, I really appreciate this gesture and customer service. What else would you like to know = drop here a comment with 💚

    It was a fluke upon which I discovered this lounge. Within two days I dropped by. Nestled within an industrial estate of Barking, this was an absolutely pleasant discovery. It is not large lounge but it doesn't need to be. It's a small cozy and a very relaxed lounge. I loved the fact that unlike other lounges, they do not blast their music. It was a welcome relief. Not only do they serve Shishas and milkshakes, but they also serve Bengali snacks like Aloo Chops and Satni. But their not so secret weapon is the fact that they are very amongst a small number of shisha lounges that serve Dark Leaf flavours. And on top of that, the service is par excellence. All three lads at the lounge very pleasant to talk to and our shisha coals were changed multiple times within the two hours we were there. We did not even have to ask. After two hours of being there, the shisha tasted as if we had just started. The smoke thick and flavourful. Absolute quality. Rest assured, we will be visiting them again. And most likely again.

    The ambience and pictures online presented is not how it was. It's small, dusty, no ventilation which made it super smoky, in a garage with cobwebs, playing 90s bollywood tracks. Not for a girls night for sure it was overcrowded with men. Yes they have good flavours but you go to a place for good company, music and ambience which this place lacks.

    By far the best Shisha spot period. Great tasting flavour that lasts for hours with smooth good quality pipes. The staff are friendly and spot on.

    Shisha is great but the tea needs improvement- cook it longer with the milk in. Atmosphere is nice, but could be cosier.
