Best place to visit with my firends.3very firend owner who makes sure that his clients are happy.

Fantastic place to enjoy hookah. It is hard to find a proper place where owners know different types of tobacco, flavoring options, bowls and etc. They will make sure hookah will be tasty, long lasting and great experience. Being from the country where hookah is incredibly common - I am glad I found 40thiefs. Recommend to grab Chai as well and don't forget to tip! read more

We got there once and that was the best hookah experience so far: nice hookah, comfortable seating, friendly staff and the price is really good. Highly recommend for hookah lovers. read more

See all

Pan Rasna hukkah flavor was pretty good and host was super awesome. Took care of us really well. Overall ambience is comfortable. Place is highly recommended :) read more

Only the best and beast hookah (huge clouds). The owner Yusuf ("Bhai") always makes us feel at home. Best hookahs in the bay!

I have been coming to 40 thieves since 2019. I love this place and I appreciate Yosif the owner, he is a decent hardworking person who genuinely cares about the customers satisfaction. He makes every hookah by himself and he always gets it right! Hands down this is the best shisha in North America. Also this is the only hookah spot I feel safe at now after covid. The price is worth it, for a good quality tobacco, good hookah flow, nice spot, and good customer service, I would give 101 out of 100 if possible. read more

This is my favourite spot to chill and hangout with my friends. Beautiful ambience plus great music makes me feel like coming here again and again. Most important part is Mr Youseef (owner) and his hardworking staff are spot on when it comes to service and whenever I go at their place they have always treated me as their family and been very kind and generous. read more

Owner is awesome!!! Great place and the best hookah!! My friends and I will be weekly regulars!!

This place might just be the best in the bay area. I've tried a lot of places with my friends and this place highly stands out. The owner is very attentive and knowledgeable and he takes it personally to make sure that you have a great experience. He has a vast menu (normally can just ask him for any flavor even if it's not on the menu). Good recommendations, diligent coal service etc. 40T is laid out so that you can chat / play cards etc with your friends, while having TVs and music for ambience without being too intrusive. 5 stars all the way, keep up the good work! read more

Its a great spot to enjoy Hookah, and has really nice ambience. The owner is super friendly and place has really good service as well.

Amazing hookah...they are taking every per caution in affect to corona virus which makes it very comfortable to smoke....new disposable hoses, clean atmosphere....friendly and great service. Thank you Indy. read more

I like to come here after a long night of partying or sometimes on a weekday where I like to relax. The flavor are the best and you can actually taste it. Some hookah lounges don't even do a good job like this place. I was very impressed because I can be so picky on what I smoke depending on my mood lol. The owner is the sweetest. He always checks up on you a lot and makes sure the hookah is hitting. Definitely love coming here. read more

Where to start? I have nothing bad to say. Over the last yesr the lounge has transformed personality wise. They just hit their one year anniversary. It used to be grim dark empty. No games on the tvs no events very Little traffic, one yesr later its hard to believe its the same lounge. Durimg the dsy till about 7 pm its pretty quiet and a nice place to get work done. Theres a sales team that comes and tales a booth and just works. As the day progresses it turns into s great place to hang out with friends. Great music. Service is great. Unlike some other lounges in the bay area where getting coals is trpublesome. A little wbout the events, theyve celebrated 2 African events. Ive seen bachelorette parties, indian parties, sports eventz. The atmosphere is amazing. Quiet and calm during the day and st night it totally personifies the personality of downtowns. The owner knows s lot of different flavors and can totally recommend you something new that will be in liking to your tastes. The only tip or aadvice i have is building a bigger bathroom. Besides that perfect jice olace to hang out read more

Super smooth hookah experience! I came here at 11pm on 7/15 and all the workers were super nice and made us feel comfortable. They checked up on us and placed new coals whenever necessary. I told them I was leaving soon and they still replaced my coal and said we were special guests (haha). They are also really appreciative and recently just opened a couple of months ago. I see success in this business and cannot wait to come again! Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

Great atmosphere. The owner is really down to earth and he will pick the best flavors for you. No doubt about it !

I love this place! They allowed my dog to come in with us, they were super sweet and very helpful, I'm definitely coming back here. It's also huge so you'll always get a table without having to wait. Plus, the menu was awesome, 5 stars! read more

Possible one of the best Lounges to smoke hookah at in San Jose. Avez is very attentive. It does take a few minutes for them to bring the Hookahs out - cause they start them in the back and when it's in front of you it's ready to smoke. Hookah - 5 star Atmosphere - 5 star Flavors - 5 star Service - 5 star Def try this place out. You won't regret it read more

Coming from Dubai this has to be the BEST shisha/hookah place in the bay. Not only is the customer service and management amazing and hospitable, but the hookah itself is top quality. The ambience is also very good if you're alone or in a group. If you're looking for the best hookah in the bay. This is it. read more

40 thieves was one of the best hookah experiences. The difference between 40 and other lounges is the quality of hookah. This isn't some hookah your smoking cause your drunk . It's the best tasting authentic hookah. You can tell the owner really cares. He will personally check in and make sure everything is going well. I came here with a bunch of my girls on a Saturday after going to club temple. We were having a great time. Then I came to meet a couple of my friends after work and then we could actually appreciate the flavor read more

The (i assume is) Owner was an awesome host and made sure we enjoyed everything. He was making sure everything was 100%, and it was. Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend this place! Their customer service is always on point. I had a headache and asked them to see if they have an Advil and of course. My man, came through with a pill. Thanks, read more

This was my 3rd hookah lounge in the area and the saying was correct "save the BEST for last!" Such a good environment, plenty of tvs and they played the best music, all current and fun to dance to while enjoying our hookah. The hookah itself was smooth and lasted a really long time. Yosuf was completely hospitable, knowledgeable, friendly and even let us try his hookah to test flavors. I would definitely recommend this place and I'll be back every time I'm in town. Thanks for a great night! read more

My new spot! I'm always on the lookout for a great hookah lounge, and I believe I've found my new favorite. Avez is the man - amazing customer service and such a genuine and kind guy. I'm so glad I found this place. Looking forward to coming here again, sooner than later! read more

40 Thieves Hookah Lounge - You have not experienced CUSTOMER SERVICE until you come here. Unmatched! - Hookah Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

My friends and I came across this place on yelp and decided to check it out. The atmosphere here is clean, spacious, and the comfiness of the couches makes you feel like you're hanging out at home. The music in the background was great, just the right volume. They have several TV plays different movies and if you sit closer to the back theres a TV that can be hooked up to either a xbox or ps4. The service is wonderful and extremely fast. The owner Avez is super friendly and constantly checks up on all of the customers, charcoal is always available, free wifi, and the hookahs are amazing. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Wonderful hookah spot that just opened. Location is ideal in the heart of downtown and there is a ton of available parking spots around. Great ambience with spacious seating arrangements and TVs placed accordingly. Music is on point as well. The hookahing itself is superb- flavors are very tasty with none of that tin foil mess. You can tell it is set up with care. The owner Avez is a stand up guy as well. Super nice and accommodating- chatted with him a bit and he hooked us up with some extra goodies. All in all a gem of a place. Will definitely be back for my hookah fix! . read more

This the hookah place we all have been waiting for! The hookahs are all new and fancy, tobacco is at highest quality. Service is amazing, and the place is spacious with good airflow. Shout out to the owner who checks on you personally and James for always caring and offering help. Highly recommended. read more

40 Thieves Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is having best hukkah I ever had. I spend 4 years in Dubai, and I was so addicted to authentic hukkah which I found after couple of years after moving here. I bet u won't regret being here. read more

This is a great place for hookah lovers! Super awesome service, and the hookah is very very Smooth. I was constantly attended to and was provided the best service every single time.

Great service and the staff is sensational! Shoutout to Yosef for creating a great ambience and for recommending a great bowl. I recommend the white peach and lemon mint mix. Just as good as the vibes at this place read more

Came here to check out the new spot with a couple friends, and it was super nice. There were a lot of space, and the ambience was great. The owner and servers were all very attentive and friendly. The hookah was flavorful and they had cool add-ons like the ice tip and bubbles (my favorite!) It's a little hard to spot from the outside since they haven't gotten a good sign post - they're working on it now. They open up a dance floor for Bollywood dance on some nights, and they're working on getting a club going in the basement too. Will definitely be back to check it out! read more

The employer was really understanding and Focus on helping with my issue. The Hookha was burned and he was willing to communicate and help me out. Thank you for the service. Even tho they get busy with a lot of climates their main priority was to make there customers satisfied. I Appreciate the hospitality. The owner was able to take his time and talk to me which is rear with a lot of business but he is dedicated to provide the best service which I respect and made me feel like home. Main point, the hookha is on point. Recommend it any day! read more

Location is not the best, but this is where the old Giza Lounge is and it is what it is. Interior: Several flat screens playing music/video games/ youtube videos. Couches are comfortable (although they seem like Smoke This's old couches?). Service: The person whom I presume is the owner (he is there every time I've went) is VERY courteous and cares very much that you enjoy your experience. He normally checks up on how your hookah is, and doesn't mind repacking if it doesn't taste good. He frequently walks around checking if anyone needs anything. Cost: Standard Lounge Rates for the Area Flavor/Mix Selection: I haven't tried everything on the menu, but of the times I've went (and tried a different house mix each time) have all been good mixes. I come to this lounge when I just want to relax and not be social, it is a very chill lounge to smoke in. read more

service was amazing, the nicest guy helped me and i just wanted to buy water and use the bathroom, would visit again just to see him, so nice thank you read more

We had a great time and the ambience was very chill. The host was very friendly and welcoming. We would love to be back here!

This hookah lounge is the sanjose best hookah lounge.very neat and clean hookah and very amazing weather .and most amazing thing is very friendly weather over there .i tried lots of hookah lounge but i only like this plac read more

This place just moved to this location. If you want to smoke a clean hookah with a lot of variety this is the place you need to be. The staff is friendly and they know a lot about hookah. They have like a billion different mixes. The reason this spot is fire because if you got an flavor your really really like and they don't have it they'll order it. I recently discovered lemon muffin la and then when I came back and they didn't have it. But they're service is good that they ordered it for me and now it's on their menu. Their staff is amazing. Always have a great conversation with one of the boys who works there. This kid has too much of a craze for sports l. He always has the game on like whatever games on football basketball hockey soccer whatever l. The best part is they keep the whole lounge engaged in the game. It's a great atmosphere to be smoking a hookah. If you go during a miners game or lakers game the place is fun. read more

Perfect smoking session experience. I don't think I've had better than this. I went with my favorite AF double apple mixed with mint! They use the best of the best Khalil Mamoon. No burn taste smoked the same bowl for over an hour and the half and boy it was smooth. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in The bay area. Owner is very friendly and his staff too! read more
