Ashur Café
1862 Mineral Spring Ave, North Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“Ashur Café is a late-night haven where carefully crafted coffee with latte art meets freshly made Middle Eastern fare like shawarma and delicious pastries, creating the kind of unhurried, welcoming space where you actually want to linger. The team goes above and beyond with hospitality—from complimentary hookah maintenance to attentive service—making it feel less like a transaction and more like joining friends in a chill, atmospheric spot that locals treasure as their own private retreat.”

thanks to Ali for great service, food (shawarma chicken & beef) and hookah. They changed and replaced charcoal on hookah the whole time free of charge :) thanks
They have freshly made shawarma. It's a nice place with amazing, delicious, and tasty shawarma. The only notes are that the preparation took quite a while, likely due to online pickup orders, and the quality of the utensils and disposables could be better
Cool place with excellent desserts…but I got chicken and it was not good at all not sure about other food..not really a hookah lounge even though they do have hookah…overall nice chill place, but not for hookah because there’s kids sometimes and you sit too close to people so you can’t really talk and relax
This place is the vibe you're looking for. If you're from the area, I'd describe it as having your own private Thayer Street minus the bad things about Thayer Street. It's got a lovely atmosphere, the most respectful/delightful/attentive staff, and a menu full of food and drinks to satisfy. I stopped in on a rainy Saturday night at 11pm and was greeted warmly. There were 6 other customers inside relaxing and smoking hookah. The place has chill, low light and plenty of tables. The gentleman passed me a menu at the counter and recommended the pistachio waffles, which I ordered + a peach smoothie to go. He brought the smoothie to me while waiting, which was very thoughtful. My to-go container came out shortly after (less than 5 min wait for both). This was what I NEEDED. The smoothie was so real-tasting, like a dozen peaches and some cream were the only ingredients. It was also a very generous size for the price. The waffle was MASSIVE, fluffy, freshly made, and so hot it melted all the in-house drizzles they slathered it with. Each bite is better than the last. They also have crepes, pancakes, and hot meals + other drinks -- I will be back to try them! Thanks, Ashur Cafe, for a chill end to a good rainy Saturday! :)
Coffee with latte art! I love a cafe with latte art. The waffles and crepes were delicious and so was the coffee. I tried the Nutella waffle and Fruity crepe. It’s open till late at night which is a bonus. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The atmosphere is great but it doesn’t have a separate space for Hookah, so if you’re comfortable with the Hookah at the next table, this cafe is a must try!
