The Good Stuff
Relaxed setting
The ambience is described as cozy, inviting and comfortable, with comfy seats for a slower visit.
Strong shisha
Several reviews specifically praise the shisha, including one calling it distinctive and another describing it as very good.
Food variety
Reviews mention tasty pasta with huge portions and fish & chips as a dish worth ordering.
Coffee options
The coffee menu includes vegetable milk as an alternative and a decaf option.
Helpful service
One repeat visitor said staff quickly fixed or replaced things when requested, which is useful for a longer meal.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check conditions. If visiting for ladies night, ask about the minimum spend and included shisha before ordering.
Confirm shisha. Clarify whether shisha is chargeable for your group; one review reported a 60-dirham charge despite food orders.
Ask coffee options. Coffee drinkers can ask for vegetable milk or decaf rather than assuming only standard coffee is available.
Request changes. The kitchen handled a pasta request without mushrooms, so mention dietary preferences or customisations when ordering.
Try fish. Fish & chips is a specifically recommended dish in the reviews and may be a useful first food order.

The Bottom Line
Luuma is a coffee shop in Business Bay where the setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe views towards the Burj Khalifa and canal, a cosy atmosphere, comfortable seating and shisha that some customers found distinctive. It suits an unhurried coffee, meal or evening catch-up more than a quick takeaway stop.
There is more to order than coffee. Customers mention latte, fish & chips and pasta; one pasta review highlights a generous portion and a successful request to leave out mushrooms. Coffee drinkers can also ask for vegetable milk or decaf.
Shisha is a recurring reason for visiting, while drinks and food receive mostly positive comments. Service is commonly described as polite, attentive and welcoming, though it is not completely consistent: one review called the service very bad and criticised staff professionalism. The clearest practical caution concerns ladies night.
Reviews report that a 50AED minimum per lady or a 60-dirham shisha charge was disclosed only at billing, so confirm every condition before ordering. For a first visit, the Burj Khalifa-facing atmosphere, a coffee with an alternative milk, or fish & chips with shisha are the most clearly supported starting points.
