The Shisha Experience
Sahara is known for its carefully selected menu of premium shisha London selections. The shisha experience is truly unique at Sahara with endless flavours and combinations to choose from (like, traditional Double Apple and Mint! eclectic options like Lychee Rose, Blueberry Muffin, Spiced Chai, etc.) and guaranteed quality of tobacco, for an even smoke. Guests can upgrade to fruit heads (pineapple, grapefruit, watermelon) which will provide a naturally sweetened and cooling draw, as well as ice pipes, which will keep each puff fresh and cool / enhance the smoking experience. Sahara shisha masters will work by heating the bowl throughout the 1.5 hour sessions, always ensuring consistent taste and density in every cloud.

Food, Drinks & Service
In addition to the shisha, Sahara is a shisha lounge with food that will make the first trip back to bring friends.

For guests enjoying drinks, Sahara also has quality bottles of wine and handcrafted cocktails. The service here is as well polished as the ambience and decor. Always attentive but never intrusive, with recommendations for pairing the flavours.
Day vs. Night Vibes
In the day Sahara is a relaxing retreat that is perfect for a couple of hours of afternoon shisha just off Hyde Park or unwinding after advancing all of the museums within South Kensington. In the evening Sahara is a lively and vibrant lounge, with accessible DJs spining R&B, Afrobeat and chilled house music.
