The Good Stuff
Match viewing
A large screen makes the café a practical choice for watching football matches while eating or having shisha.
Quiet setting
Reviews describe the café as calm and chilled, with a comfortable atmosphere for relaxing or spending time with family.
Food picks
The pink sauce pasta is specifically praised, while other reviews also recommend pizza and wraps.
Flavour choice
The café is noted for offering many shisha flavours, so there is plenty of choice beyond a single house option.
Reasonable menu
Some customers consider the menu affordable compared with nearby cafés, particularly when watching matches.
Seating space
One review mentions enough seating for larger groups, with an atmosphere that generally suits both men and women.
Backgammon boards
The café has lots of backgammon boards, a useful extra if you want an activity alongside drinks or shisha.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check charge. Before ordering shisha, confirm the price: one guest saw 45 on the menu but was charged 54 twice.
Expect smoke. Non-smokers should know there is no designated non-smoking area; the café is indoors and smoking is allowed throughout.
Try pasta. For food, the pink sauce pasta has a specific recommendation, while another review suggests choosing pizza instead of the burger.
Plan parking. If you are driving, allow extra time or consider another way to arrive because reviews describe parking as limited.
Match nights. Choose the café for football viewing if you enjoy a livelier crowd; big-game evenings can become more male-dominated.
Try kunafa. Dessert fans should consider the kunafa, which one customer described as particularly good and local-feeling.

The Bottom Line
Mejana Cafe is a shisha-led café in Al Barsha where people settle in for football, conversation and a long evening rather than a quick coffee. The most consistent draw is shisha: one guest said it lasted more than three hours without burning, while others mention the wide choice of flavours. A big screen makes match nights part of the appeal.
Food gives you reasons to come even if shisha is not your main interest. Reviews specifically call out the pink sauce pasta, red sauce pasta, pizza, wraps, Nutella crepes, kunafa and karak chai. The atmosphere is generally described as calm, chilled and family-friendly, with enough seating for groups and lots of backgammon boards.
It is worth noting that the café is indoors and smoking is allowed throughout, so non-smokers may find the smoke difficult. Service feedback is uneven. Many customers describe friendly, attentive service, but others report poor service or a 25-minute wait to replace an incorrect shisha.
Parking is another practical drawback, and one review recorded a mismatch between the menu’s 45 shisha price and a 54 charge on two occasions. Confirm the current price before ordering, and consider pizza or pasta over the burger based on the more specific food feedback.
