Habibiz Restaurant & Cafe

Not the best shisha bar I’ve been to, I don’t get what Drake keeps raving on about! LOL

Where is the habibiz (love)? Only gets a star because that’s the lowest I can offer it… writing this review to prevent other potential victims to a mediocre hookah joint.
Review — when drake rapped” it’s my birthday I can get high if i have to” he probably was high when he walked in here because the lights would have that effect but if you’re walking here to expect some extra fun save your time… cause it’s a 1 star hookah joint to me. I can have a better session in my room than this average restaurant.
Staff– very late, too busy eating Shwarma & falafels to help their customers… took 15 minutes just to get the guys attention.
Seating — no problem finding a seat, but getting into it is another habibiz. like chairs are so close together in order to sit in those Comfy sofa areas is you need to move the furniture first.
Music– I understand its suppose to have a middle eastern vibe… but stop playing tracks that all sound the same… promoting habibi habibi. Like I understand.
Shisha experience — not great… using fruits such as oranges as flavour holders. Creative but USELESS! I’ll give them the Martha Stewart award for the fruitiest hookah set up. Also it came to a point where the whole apparatus was oozing blood like fluid… and that’s when I realized its time to yalla habibi.
Washroom– only best part about this joint… cause I could take the nicest leak in peace
Price– reasonable 15 $ but waste with the experience I had.

The service is Horrible… under staffed for sure.
It has the grunge dirty feel to it, which is ok for a HANGOUT but not when there is food served at the establishment. «CAFE»
This business is not well kept for it’s customers.

I’ve been to over a dozen hookah bars and Habibiz has by far one of the best shisha mixes/​flavours you’ll ever get. The head of your shisha will last you a really long time and the food is actually really good! The only downfall is the music. It’s not crappy, it’s just always EXTREMELY LOUD. But it’s worth it, for the shisha, the food, and the service!

Good vibes, good times. The music is loud at times but I love it. It’s always fun coming here. Takes only cash or debit. It gets packed in here fast, recommend coming at a good time to nab a spot. Boss shisha bar in the 6ix.

Best vibes I love it! Just a little annoying how you always have to pre paid but it’s whatever.

Ex flavours desert place which I really miss :(
Hmm how should I sum it up.
Place is Super loud
Club atmosphere
Good sheesha
Live crowed
Lots of creepy guys who stare their eye balls out lots of chilled out ppl as well
Kinda Too packed n congested
Lots of overly dressed chix as if it’s some afghan club
Overall I would say it’s a fun spot to pass time but probably suits youths aged 16 – 23

Music is a bit loud. Food menu wasn’t all that. But shisha was very good. Ambience is alright. club lighting. They give you three extra coals. Lot of people. Some booths are reserved on Saturdays after 9. So get there early on Saturdays. Try the blue myst shisha. That was good. Only cash and debit. Worth a second visit (for shisha only).

The music is thumpin’. Sheesha is amazing. I got the Pineapple Habibi special. It was great. The crowd is well diversified and the atmosphere is energetic. This place is usually packed! That’s a good thing.
Cons– the burgers are good but take way to long to make and receive.

So far the best shisha place I HV been to. Amazing customer service. Well manage stuff. Every time I went got proper customer service. Recommend everyone to visit at list one time to see how well they are doing with customer & business.

Worst experience that’s for sure! I don’t understand why but the younger kids start to stare at you as if there’s going to be a fight. Our shisha was over within 20mins and they didn’t bother to replace it. Under age staff and costumers. It’s weird that Drake goes here. You have to pay up front, they give you a number which they forget and uncomfortable furniture.

This café has gotten a lot of bad reviews (see below), and I’m not quite sure why. They have done some renovations and they do serve food items like wraps and fries. There is no alcohol though. I found the Habibiz special shisha to be quite good — they have the oranges, pineapples etc. a lot of places have as well.
A lot of people know this place to be where Drake frequents occasionally (as seen in videos, Instagram), and although I have yet to see him, I do know he definitely comes by. Habibiz is a local spot, so most customers are from Scarborough. I wouldn’t say it’s the best shisha place in Toronto, but I do not mind it at all.

Strange place.
Blue lights.
Bad service.
Bad food.
It’s a neighbourhood hangout for sheesha smokers.
If you’re not a local, you’ll find this place strange.
