Majlis - Cafe & Shisha Lounge

You'll find Majlis tucked away on Old Milton Street in the heart of Leicester's city centre, a spot that's become exactly what the Arabic word suggests—a gathering place. Walk in and there's an immediate sense of occasion; the lounge feels properly considered, with low lighting and enough seating to sprawl across if you fancy a proper session. The shisha menu is extensive and the tobacco's always fresh, while the café side keeps things ticking with decent coffee and light bites. It's the kind of place where you'll spot groups of mates who've clearly been coming for years, mixed with curious newcomers trying shisha for the first time.
