The Good Stuff
Affordable rates
Customers repeatedly describe the shisha as cheaper than comparable Dubai venues, including a reported 26AED option.
Sports screens
Large screens show football, cricket and other matches; one reviewer watched an AFL game after asking for a preferred sport.
Outside food
You can bring food from elsewhere, while the café also has its own kitchen and desserts.
Calm setting
Reviews describe a peaceful, low-noise atmosphere suited to relaxing or talking with friends rather than loud nightlife.
Board games
Board games are available for customers, adding a simple non-shisha way to spend time with friends.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check offers. If you plan to use Entertainer, confirm acceptance before ordering; one customer was refused at payment.
Confirm closing. For a late visit, check the actual closing plan first because one review says customers were asked to leave at 1.50am despite a 3am closing time.
Request a fix. If the shisha loses quality, ask the shisha attendant to adjust it; a reviewer says staff offered to fix it.
Bring food. You can order food from outside and eat it here, useful if you want more choice than the café menu.
Avoid peak times. Visit outside busy weekend periods if you want a quieter table or more dependable WiFi.
Ask for sports. If a particular match matters to you, ask whether they can stream it; one customer watched an AFL match this way.

The Bottom Line
NASIMI is a laid-back hookah bar in Oud Metha built around shisha, sports and unhurried evenings. Customers come for flavours that can last for hours, with Pan Kiwi and pan grape among the combinations mentioned. Large screens show football and cricket, and one visitor says the café even streamed an AFL match on request.
The atmosphere is generally calm rather than noisy, making it comfortable for catching up with friends. You can bring food from outside, and reviews also mention board games, PS4, desserts, fries, shakes and fruit juices. Hot lemonade and Turkish coffee get specific praise, although one customer found the avocado milk shake below standard.
The place is not described as fancy, but regulars like its friendly service and relaxed feel. Price is a major draw: older reviews report shisha at 26AED and a mixed shisha starting at 30 dhs, so confirm current rates before ordering. Parking is available near the café.
Weekend crowds can affect the WiFi, and one review raised concerns about ventilation and coughing. Also confirm any Entertainer offer before ordering, and check the closing arrangement for late visits because a customer was asked to leave well before the stated 3am time.
