Standing in front of a long flavour list can kill the mood before the coals are even lit. Here’s a simpler way to choose — based on the brands we actually deliver across Central London.
If you want something everyone likes
Start with Starburst or Mazaya watermelon mint. They’re bright, familiar, and rarely start an argument at the table. Perfect for mixed groups and first-time hosts.
If you want a classic lounge profile
Al Fakher is the safe classic — double apple and fresh mint especially. When someone says “proper shisha,” this is usually what they mean.
If you want richer fruit
Adalya and Layali lean dessert-like and berry-forward. Pair either with a liquid juice base (£15) if you want the room to smell like a fruit market in the best way.
If you want traditional character
Paan brings herbal leaf notes that feel different from candy fruit. Great as a second head when the group wants variety.
If you’re upgrading
Savaco at £30 for 50g is the premium pouch option. Extra flavours from the standard list are £10 per 50g — easy to add at checkout.
