Hukka Lounge
You might be wondering why a shisha bar is in this list? Well I’m here to tell you how
inviting the food here is as well. This restaurant has a wide range of cuisines covering Italian,
Mediterranean, Turkish and Greek and to top it off the atmosphere is ten times better as
they have their very own DJ! Although there is covered outdoor seating, the attentive staff
are very helpful and the restaurant provides heaters so you won’t need to worry about
being cold.

Phat buns
Phat Buns, located in Radford, makes the most appetizing burgers, hot dogs, wings and
milkshakes. Look forward to nice, crispy buns and juicy, well-seasoned meat in your burger

presentation of their food making it that much more special.
