The Good Stuff
Atmosphere
Several customers describe the cafe as beautiful, cozy, clean or relaxing, making it appealing for a casual hangout.
Sheesha Setting
Customers value the cafe for sheesha, with one review specifically praising its flavours and privacy.
Food Highlights
One customer enjoyed the food presentation, Moroccan tea and kunafa with extra Nutella on top.
Late Hours
A customer reports that the cafe opens 24/7, which could suit late-night visits.
Friendly Staff
Some visits include warm service, with customers specifically describing the staff as friendly and professional.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Prices. Ask for the current shisha price before ordering, as one customer reported 35 dirhams being charged as 50.
Allow Time. Build in extra time if you are ordering food; one customer found the service slow but still considered the wait worthwhile.
Confirm Tables. If booking for a group, reconfirm the table size on arrival because one phone reservation resulted in a smaller table.
Check Parking. Check parking arrangements carefully before settling in; a customer reported receiving a 500 AED parking fine.
Manage Expectations. If shisha is your main reason for visiting, ask staff to address quality problems immediately rather than assuming it will improve.
Choose Seating. For a quieter group visit, ask about available private seating, since reviews mention a separate section for ladies.

The Bottom Line
ROJINA graffiti cafe is an Arabic sheesha cafe in International City where people come for hookah, drinks and casual meals. The setting is the main draw: reviews describe it as beautiful, cozy, clean, relaxing and suitable for hanging out with friends. Some customers also mention private seating, including a separate section for ladies.
The food feedback is mixed, but there are a few specific bright spots. One customer praised the presentation, Moroccan tea and kunafa with extra Nutella on top, while another said dinner was the best. Coffee has received a positive mention, although pasta was specifically discouraged in one review.
Service is inconsistent. Some visitors call the staff friendly and professional, while others report slow attention, rude behaviour, order mistakes and difficulty communicating in English. Shisha opinions are similarly divided: several reviews call it a strong reason to visit, but one customer said five attempts all produced poor quality.
Check the price before ordering, particularly for shisha, because one report says 35 dirhams became a 50-dirham charge. Groups should reconfirm table arrangements, and parking deserves care after a customer reported a 500 AED fine. If you are dining here, allowing extra time is sensible.
