The classic options exuded from hookah lounges, like Double Apple and Mint, sit alongside tropical and exotic flavours, all prepared with premium tobacco. Fruit heads like pineapple and watermelon, chilled ice pipes will elevate the experience and provide a very long and smooth smoking experience. Every hookah session is an art form to capture the moment with rich flavor and consistency of up to 90 minutes. With its innovation and quality, HUQQA is one of the preferred places for the best hookah flavors in Istanbul.
Food, Drinks & Service
HUQQA is a shisha lounge with food and the gourmet menu can be compared to many fine dining restaurants. From Mediterranean mezze, sushi, artisan pizzas and desserts, the quality of the offerings is right in line with the hookah experiences. Drinks range from mocktails, artisan teas, to a very expansive cocktail menu; if you are looking for shisha & food in the Bosphorus area, this is the spot. Service was great, they paid attention to when to change the coals, refill our drinks and suggest flavors we might enjoy during our time there, which speaks to the polished, luxury vibe.
Day vs. Night Vibes
In daylight hours, HUQQA Kuruçeşme is a sun-filled terrace perfect for a sunset shisha, while watching the boats race across the Bosphorus. Once inside at night, the environment becomes nightlife, where the lights dim, the energy of the group is high, the beat drops from the DJ and the party begins. It can be the perfect place to lounge, relax on a sunny afternoon or to go out for a late night hookah Istanbul that goes into early morning hours. The duality of its identity ensures that every visit will feel a little different.
