Best shisha flavors in the UK
Culinary-wise, the "Reflexion Lounge" places value on a diverse menu that combines both British and international influences. Among the most popular dishes is the King Burger, a juicy burger that impresses with fresh ingredients and a spicy twist, often highlighted as a filling favorite. The chicken wings, offered with various marinades, are also very popular and are appreciated for their intense flavor. For those with a sweet tooth, the white chocolate cookie dough is a true highlight – warm, soft, and with a sweet, creamy texture that delights many guests. The dishes are designed to complement the shisha experience and provide a solid foundation for a longer stay. Smaller snacks like nachos are also highly regarded, especially for their generous portions and crunchy freshness.
Relaxing atmosphere by the water
The shisha itself is the centerpiece of the experience. The lounge offers a wide range of flavors, from fruity blends like blueberry to more complex combinations like Love66, which are praised for their depth and harmony. The quality of the shisha is ensured by using high-quality water pipes and careful preparation, with staff regularly checking the coals to guarantee a consistent smoking experience. The drink menu perfectly complements the offerings: alongside classic soft drinks, aromatic teas like Karak Chai or mint tea are considered ideal companions to shisha. Cocktails are also available, with generous glasses and creative recipes often receiving positive remarks.
Delicious food and shisha
Service at the "Reflexion Lounge" is generally described as friendly and attentive, with staff eager to cater to guests’ wishes. Particular employees are highlighted for their helpfulness and professionalism – for example, during regular checks of the shisha or when recommending flavors. However, there is occasional criticism, especially on busy days when service struggles to keep up with demand or cleanliness – particularly of tables or restrooms – can leave something to be desired. The option to order via an app, however, streamlines the process and adds a modern, efficient touch.
