Genie Restaurant & Lounge combines halal charcoal-grilled food, cocktails, desserts and premium shisha in a relaxed Albert Place setting close to Peterborough city centre.

Genie is designed for visitors who want dining and an extended lounge experience in one venue. The restaurant’s focus is charcoal-grilled halal food, drawing on Turkish and Middle Eastern flavours across mixed grills, kebabs, steaks and smaller dishes.

Desserts and cocktails give the venue a strong after-dinner appeal, while soft and hot drinks accommodate visitors who are not drinking alcohol. Its lounge area provides a separate, more relaxed environment centred on premium shisha.

The combination suits meals with friends, date nights and larger social groups, although advance booking is advisable and age restrictions apply to shisha.
