2. Beyrock Restaurant and Café, Deira
In addition to shisha being available 24 hours per day, the Beyrock Restaurant and Café in Deira has another (rather bizarre) claim to fame. The eatery recently launched a 101cm manakeesh with five different flavours – including zaatar, lahmein, akkawi cheese, labneh and muhammara. At least you know you won’t go hungry while smoking that shisha.

3. Cello Restaurant and Cafe, Trade Centre
A favourite among the city’s shisha fans, Cello on Sheikh Zayed Road is open all night (and indeed 24 hours per day). The food menu offers many Lebanese favourites with a modern twist, ranging from hummus to muhammara and more. During the day, there’s often live music on stage, but there are still plenty of crowds well into the morning hours.
