About Mag Mug Cafe

On Canning Circus, Mag Mug Cafe is a cafe that brings shisha directly to customers, including out to parked cars. The menu runs alongside a tea selection and milk cake, a recurring dessert order. Seating is available both inside and outside, with blankets provided for the outdoor tables when the weather turns chilly, supporting outdoor dining. The entrance is step-free, making it workable for visitors with mobility needs. Free Wi-Fi is on offer for anyone settling in, and orders can be taken away or delivered for those eating off site. The cafe opens daily but only in the evenings, and reservations are recommended given the format. Parking is available at the location, which supports the car-side shisha service. Arabic music plays in the background throughout service.

Customer Review Summary

Shisha draws the most consistent praise here, with reviewers repeatedly calling it smooth, well prepared, and even bringing up a paan mint variety they loved. Close behind is the milk cake dessert, described by multiple diners as soft, rich, and melting in the mouth, alongside a tea selection several call spot on. Reviewers also mention Arabic music playing in the background and a calm, comfortable atmosphere suited to relaxing or catching up with friends, with staff and one figure referred to as the boss man singled out for friendliness. One reviewer notes the novelty of having shisha brought out to them in the car, and another describes staff offering blankets to seated guests when it turned chilly outside.

“Magmug is a hidden gem right in the heart of Nottingham city centre. A cosy little nook with the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The milk cakes are absolutely delectable, the tea selection is spot on, and the sheesha is smooth and authentic. Paired with the soft Arabic music playing in the background, the whole experience feels warm, relaxing, and genuine. It’s exactly how a place like this should be. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good vibes and quality treats.”

“Had a great experience at Mag Mug Restaurant! The place has a really nice vibe, good service, and the food was fresh and well prepared. The highlight for me was their Milk Cake dessert — absolutely delicious! Soft, rich, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. It literally melts in your mouth. If you visit Mag Mug, their Milk Cake is a must try. Highly recommended!”
