I recently moved into the neighbourhood and was excited to try this place out but I don't think I've ever been this displeased with restaurant service, especially as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry and is very patient.
I came here with my boyfriend and started off with drinks, telling the server that we would get shisha after our drinks. My boyfriend finished his drink before... more

Buda cafe is a very chill cafe. Its a little cozy place tucked away on yonge, but the owners are very accommodating. No matter how big the crowd, they always seem to make a table for them. Service to me was amazing. They were even nice to look out for customers in regards to parking.

They have specials like two shishas for $21.99 and you could mix upto two flavours per shisha without extra... more

I went there a few days ago and i loved the place. The people working there were nice and the they had great shisha.

Very chill especially on a Monday evening. We told them the corner is too loud so they turned down the music volume for us. Good shisha and Persian tea served with a small chocolate bite. Their interior is also very home like and dim. I think their shisha is much milder compared to other places. I usually cough after smoking, but not here.

A cozy place to go for shisha (no orange heads though). Upbeat music playing in the background. Great service but a little stingy with the charcoal. The shisha itself was fancy but the flavor felt weak. Free WiFi. Prices are reasonable. Discount for buying 2 or 3 shishas and 10% discount on top of that every Wednesday. Check out their website for their daily specials.

Shisha slash hooka for $15 is the way to go, plus it isn't bad. Small place but a nice atmosphere with a nice little menu.

Buda cafe is located at Northyork and Yonge. The bar area is quite small, however it makes up with a friendly staff and a good shisha.

They offer an outdoor seating in summer, try mintflavor for shisha and green tea for drink. Enjoy!

Ah lost my shisha cherry here many years ago. Now it's just obligatory for me to do the same to my shisha virgin friends at the same spot.
If you are a shisha newb, I recommend the mint flavour as a starter. It's more refreshing than the other flavours and you won't end up with a gain headache.
Don't purchase extra charcoal. By the time you get to 2nd charcoal that came with your shisha, you'd... more

This shisha bar has been around since I was in high school. I love coming here especially in the summer, for their little outdoor seating by the street. Price is reasonable, for food and drinks alike. They have a good selection of flavors for their shisha.

Only thing that was always a peeve for me was the seating, but there's not much else to complain about.

Im used to strong shisha flavors. The mango flavor was too weak for me. Expected music and a more vibrant environment. Wasnt too impressed with the place. The waffle with the three ice cream scoops and fruits was w

I love this place. The sheesha (although herbal) is never disappointing and the owner has to be the nicest guy around and he looks after the customers. Never ordered any food items coz I usually enjoy sheesha with a nice drink. Coffees and teas are great every time. Decent price and a nice cozy ambiance ... No complains. Kinda small for large groups so definitely call ahead for availability.

This place is legit. Shisha offered is never harsh and it never burns your throat. Good selection of hookah flavours, they serve alcohol and the service is great. And the restaurant itself is really clean inside and not dirty like your typical hookah bars in Scarborough/ north York area.

Will always go here for hookah, great location as well :)

Hooray for Yelp check-in offers! By checking in at Buda Cafe, you get $8 off your purchase of two shishas.. but wait, they advertise the same on their menu..

The owner of Buda is very homely and accommodating - he constantly came over to our table to check on our charcoal. He turns away customers when it's close to their closing time, but never rushes the existing customers already seated.

I am a fan of this place partly because of the good location uptown, on Yonge street. Also because they serve alcohol (even mixed drinks like White Russian and Long Island Iced Tea), which isn't that common for hookah cafes. The table next to us had a full bottle of wine they were sharing. They also have teas which I'm told are delicious, along with dessert items.

On a warm summer night, this... more

Not many places in this block to just have a drink if you don't feel like soju or sake. I've passed by this place many times so thought I would give it a try. It's not quite a lounge, and could be made to be more comfortable inside. We sat on the patio and ordered two hookahs - it was priced as expected although they said there was a deal on that day. I wouldn't pay more than what we did -... more

Pricey but very sanitary. The staff is nice, and it's a nice environment at night. It's more of a restaurant setting rather than a lounge.

Right off of Yonge street and very close to Finch station, if you feel like going to a hookah lounge - this isn't a bad place.

It's not really much of a lounge setting, more of a small restaurant and they bring the hookah to you.

The day I went, the fire alarm kept ringing. I assumed the owner would come over and apologize or reassure my friend and I that there were no problems... However, it... more

The first time I went to this place it was over a summer and very late at night, I was with a group of friends and the owner of the place was working, he patiently waited for us to finish and never came to ask us to leave. We stayed thinking that Buda Cafe was open till late at night, we stayed almost 2 hours passed the closing time. The owner never said a word and waited for us to leave, we... more

Cock-block. Third Wheel. That was I the evening of our visit here to Buda Cafe. My friend Romeo and his lady friend had brought me along to their dinner after work, and I've managed to stick around to the later hours of the night. Thank God they were far more civilized people than myself.

I've passed this establishment for years, and during my high school years I always thought that this was... more
