Nice spot. I went for a friends party. I believe it is more like an event spot for rental but overall a nice space.

I came by for hookah with a friend. First of all...cover was $20 each, on a Monday night, which is insane even for NYC. The interior is super basic and just looks low budget. The hookah was good, but they were playing music so loudly that you couldn't hold a conversation and the speakers sounded like they were about to blow out. read more

My friends, family and I went to this lounge on a Tuesday night to celebrate my birthday and had a pleasant time. PROS: The owners are nice and hospitable. They make you feel right at home in spite of it being our first visit. The prices are reasonable, the drinks refreshing and the hummus is THE EFFING BEST I'VE EVER HAD! Their diverse selection of Hookah can definitely satisfy discerning palettes. Oh and the music is up to date.The best time to arrive is during happy hour which is 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday. CONS: The only thing I didn't care for was the decor or lack there of, it feels sorta slap dash. Overall this is a cool place, ran by cool people, with cool customers, tasty drinks, good hookah and wonderful hummus. I will be back. read more

See all

This place is known for causing disturbances throughout the entire night. Beware. Spend your money elsewhere.

A place I call home. Drinks are great. The atmosphere is better. The food is majestic. The highlights are the seasoning on the chicken kebab and the flavoring of the garlic shrimp. Get a mint hookah and kick back. You will love it. read more

This place has so much potential, in my opinion. I love that it was kind of smaller and could be somewhat intimate. However, the hookah sucked! The pull was not right; even the employees could not fix it for the first few minutes. They ended up just giving us a new hookah. That hookah was a bit better but nothing spectacular. There was music playing softly. I asked someone to turn it up a bit and he did but he told me he could not put it too high because the neighbors can complain or call the police. I thought that was weird, but okay. We did not stay here long at all. read more

Found this place by accident one night with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved it! small intimate setting, great music and the hookah and drinks were on point. We make this a regular spot now and we live in jersey so we don't mind to travel. read more

Compared to my other hookah experiences this place was OK. I wish the environment was better. I'm used to either a party atmosphere or a relaxed environment, to me...it was neither. The hookah is really great but I didn't like that you had to pay an extra $15.00 in order to refill the coal, total dissapointment read more

Neat spot in Harlem. My only complaints was that it was too bright here. Hookah lounges are usually dim, but this place was brightly lit. Prices weren't horrible (it's Manhattan). I think me and my friend tried a hookah which was mixed with alcohol. That way certainly a new experience. It's open pretty late. Lots of people showed up later in the night. Cool chill place to just hang out. read more

Good place to kick back and puff a few smoke relaxing with your friends. I like the atmosphere this place have. Great music, good drinks, good food. What more can a guy ask for? Refill charge is a little expensive. I think it could be a little cheaper. Come in at happy hours and get your buzz on. Try out their mimosa, It tastes great. Definitely a good spot to check out when you come to Harlem area. read more

I've been eyeing coming in here for a couple months and finally decided to try. Good drinks. Hookah is nice and I like the flavor selections. Music is updated and current. Owners are nice people. The ambiance was a bit off though when we came in. Decor is lacking but I think they opened not too long ago so maybe in time. There was also a baby running around and it almost made me uncomfortable to keep smoking (seriously like that's cute and all but is this the right place for any kids?) read more

Adar is decent. No frills but it's one of the few hookah bars in the area that also serve alcohol -- not beer/wine, but actual liquor. I went to Adar on a Saturday night with a large group. For $36/person we had hookah, a couple pitchers of very strong drinks (mystery liquor, but strong nonetheless) and platters of cheese, hummus and a protein (that our server described as "either tilapia or chicken, I'm not sure"). A fair price, but a bit high considering the area and the very sketchy entrance on Park near the above-track Metro North. No frills, as I mentioned. The space is a large rectangular room, with three main seating areas. The decor is very sparse. There was a space heater in the corner that kept the lack of adequate heat moderately tolerable. There are TVs throughout, though not enough to make them watchable from the majority of the seating. The background music was obviously someone's Spotify or iTunes, so the plus is that they do take music requests. I was pleased by the "Drunk in Love" selection. I'd go back if I'm in the mood for hookah and strong drinks. I also hear that it's pretty reasonable to rent out the entire space. read more

The bartender and the DJ are incredible hosts. This is the kind of establishment that will thrive because of how much these two individuals care about details. They know what you want to drink, and they know exactly what you want to listen to. In a city where Hip Hop and R&B can be such an extremely rare commodity, this is the place where you want to go to feel like none of the two have ever left. read more

The food and hookah were delicious. The place itself could use some love and decor. It's just blah inside. They need better seating as well. It just look low budget. We had a good time and I would be back just for the food. So good. I had the chicken skewers. And it was so good I had 2 plates!!! read more

If you look closely enough you'll see this tiny hookah lounge next to the train line...not to be mistaken for the larger one on the other side of the tracks (literally). This place isn't anything fancy, but it gets the job done. It's about the length of a corner store (including the bathroom) and seating is very limited. I'd estimate that a party of 20 would have this place to capacity. The bar is in the center of it all and the hookahs are the small (what I call starter hookah) ones...still they're effective. I've been her twice and both time I enjoyed myself. For about 35-45 bucks you'll get a hookah and a couple drinks (about 4) which isn't bad. This place is more romantic and anything else, that's if your date is into hookah, potent drinks, intimate table settings, and mellow music. If you go during the week don't expect prompt table service, from what I gather it's usually only one person during the week (multiple on the weekend). Cash and credit. Oh yea....I almost forgot this bulls**t. they charge you refill the coals in the tiny a** hookah. Are you kidding me?!?!?! *Sigh* I'm back :o) Either way, you'll have a decent time. read more

Cute cafe! Super nice staff. The beef pastillas($5) are really tasty. If you are there to stay, they heat it up for you. $7 for an iced tea and a meaty, flaky snack. Would highly recommend. :) read more

Had a lovely brunch w my mom and sisters, i had veggie omelete which was delicious. Veggie omeletes are hard to get right as they are usually tasteless but this was delish, as were the homefries. Great coffee and great ppl! ...they also offer mimosas and bellinis w brunch if you are into that :) read more

This used to be Habib Deli. I walked by and saw it was now a coffee shop and wanted a pastry, so I went in and purchased a piece of pound cake (to go). While waiting for my cake to be cut, I noticed there was a Hookah Lounge in the back. It was closed a the time, but I learned its open on the weekends. Anyway, I took my cake home and prepared a bowl of ice cream to have it with. WHY WAS MY CAKE WAS HARD AND DRY??!! I touched it... it was a brick. I broke a piece of and it just crumbled. I think I paid like $3 for that slice of brick. I hate spending my money on bad food! UGH! read more

Had a drink and some hookah during happy hour. Drinks were good, hookah was good, however the ambience is still lacking something that I can't quite put my finger on. The owners seem like lovely people however they are just not always the most attentive. Will try again though since it's so close to where I live. read more

I like this place. I happened upon the A'dar Lounge while in search of some coffee to go with my lunch, and a pleasant, warm place to enjoy both -- and that's just what I found. My Americano espresso was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced for the area, and I was served by a friendly and attentive barista who made me feel quite at home. With that, I proceeded to have a delightful lunch in the storefront, drinking good coffee while reading a good book and eating good food, watching as Park Avenue poured past the windows -- superb! I left feeling nourished and satisfied, and if ever in NYC again, I would gladly return to the A'dar Lounge. My sincere thanks goes out to all associated with this business. I am grateful for, and have benefited from, your work and service. Keep it up, everybody! read more

We're on Vacation from Las Vegas, and had the pleasure to meet the owner of this great establishment Mounir he was a great host. Hookah was really good, and what an attentive service they had, even compared to a Vegas establishment. It's my pleasure to give this place a 5 star review, if you are in the neighborhood and want to have a great experience then please come in and see for yourself. read more

The Decor Needs an Upgrade + It Definitely Does Not Look Safe to Eat In There. But The Hookah Was Great‍

Great place for drinks and hookah. Great place to book your next party. Call them to make sure they are open.

This is place is amazing ! The hookah and drinks are always consistent and very fresh. The service is very fast and I must say they are very attentive to you and it's a perfect place to go to enjoy a conversation without having to scream at your friends. The music is always nice and the ambiance is peaceful and comfortable . I wish they had food or small appetizers but I'm sure they are working on that (: read more

Pretty good vibe. the food was exceptionally well but the staff could use a little help. one girl over there which I will remain nameless was giving me an attitude but I will let it slide because the place was overall very nice. read more

Good food but service took waaaay too long. Everyone waited like 45 mins to an hour for WAFFLES to be made..

Went for a friends 30th birthday party. Nice little space there! Was very comfortable and it was very clean and neat! Nice Ambience!

Adar is awesome! It has a really great atmosphere inside that's perfect for smoking hookah, and the bartenders are super nice and chill. An added plus is that they serve liquor, and have DJs and music. Go to chill earlier or to get down later! read more
