Ali Baba Cafe &amp; Hookah Lounge

I don't know that the Chill Room Original location in Lake Worth is a hidden gem, because it was…read morepretty crowded on a Sunday night. That happens to be their Poker night, so it makes complete sense. However, I think the staff, service, food, ambience, and kava are what make this place exceptional. I had been to a couple kava bars but Colton did an outstanding job of explaining the differences between the Kava and Kratom and the effects. He even did a do-over when my guest finally arrived. With such insightful guidance, I went with his recommendation of the double dragon, choosing the green tea and a shot of kava. Colton may have okay taste in English football, amazing taste in Italian football, but his choices in drinks are unparalleled. The drink was delicious, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced. If I'm being honest, this was the first time I actually felt the effects of kava. Outside, of Colton, the vibes are inviting and intimate, but not exclusive. The decor and music create a very relaxing atmosphere, which is conducive to the experience. There's a pool table and game room, a stage area, and a bar, in addition to all the couches and seats around. I didn't have any if the food this time, but they have lovely cakes and pastries, as well a pizzas and bar food. If the food is as well crafted as the rest of the place, I'll definitely be eating here next time. It's a bit of a journey for me, but the experience is well worth it. Will try to see what bands perform there and try to catch one that I like. If you're looking for a place to relax and have a great time, the Chill Room OG location is the one you want.

Also, if you like being bullied into purchasing something every hour or else you will leave promptly! Then, The Chill Room is right for you! All of these kava bars are the same. Only the regulars don't have to spend every hour & outsiders are treated like lepers. This is called a CULT.

She clearly just wants the cash grab typical hater. She was so so hard to get to know, so cold distant and unfriendly at 1st we were just starting to finally get along, in my opinion. Never ever again, won't Recommend will never see me in there again. Waste of time, energy and cash, daily, consistently and this is how she treats her regulars. I was speaking lowly about My own life to a dear friend and she kicked me out, none of her business. Never ever again. The owner can mind her own business for once. Quit asking regular customers personal info for Your own gain, and then throwing them out like trash when nothing was done wrong, spending 30-40$ on the daily.

We first went into the hookah bar on one side of the market , but it was a bit too smokey for me. So we went into the market through which on the left there is a room with tables and chairs for the restaurant to dine in. We had a lovely conversation with a gentleman who was just finishing his lunch. He told us he comes here everyday. After describing his favorite meal choice, that's what we decided to order. We ordered first a medium pot of chai/tea. The owner, Assad (sp?), told us later when we asked that they add mint, dried mint, and sage to the pot. The tea was so aromatic and warming. We each had several glass cups -- with added sugar. To share, we had their mixed grill. There were 3 skewers -- one chicken, one beef, and one kofta kebab (ground meat). The meats were served over rice with a bit of salad on the side. Small containers of salad dressing and tehina were on the plate, too. I added some sumac (my favorite lemony spice) to everything. The food was very good and we left not a crumb. We were surprised to learn that the gentleman we'd previously chatted with paid for our dessert before he left! We got kunefah (kenefe/knaffe) -- my husband's favorite. It was nice and cheesy in the middle. And then as we were leaving, the owner gifted us a traditional special Ramadan "sweet" pastry. We were too full to try it there, so we brought it home for later. He said it has walnuts inside. We look forward to returning here for more middle eastern delights. It's casual, low key, cooked to order, and welcoming.

I've been to a lot of hookah places in Palm Beach and this is by far my favorite. The inside of Ali Baba's is very nice and clean and the seating is very comfortable and open. Great service every time. I've never had a complaint. They have a wide selection of quality hookah flavors as well good food. The owner really cares about his customers and often personally checks in on them. They also have comedy and belly dancer nights. Definitely a good place to go if you live in the Lake Worth, Boynton, Delray and Boca area. read more

All the guests I invite have a great time and continue to come. If you're looking for a nice chill night and good food (especially the wings & seasoned fries) come on down!

You can feel the difference the moment you walk in -- the energy is smoother, the service is sharper, and the team clearly takes pride in what they're doing.

Everyone behind the bar is friendly, attentive, and actually seems happy to be there, which makes a huge impact when you're trying to unwind with a shell or settle in for a relaxing night. Mystic Roots has become one of those spots where you feel genuinely welcomed every time. Clean space, great drinks, and a team that gets it -- exactly what a kava bar should be. If you haven't been in a while, go back. If you're new to kava or kratom, this is absolutely the place to start. Mystic Roots is running better than ever.

Kava is a root from the South Pacific that's brewed into a tea like substance. It's known for being upbeat, social, anti-anxiety, and relaxation. Kava tastes like dirt. Period. You don't drink it for the taste; you're drinking it for the effects. Mystic Roots has a friendly cheers like vibe where the patrons all know each other's names. Would be a great place to meet other sober people, have a new experience or do some work during the day. Super chill vibes & Noah was a gem. Thanks for the amazing experience & the tasty drinks.

When I approached them to see what the issue was, I was threatened physically by the man arguing with my girl, and told her had his "boy: there to back him up. (Back him up for not explaining what was going on?) Not 2 seconds later I was threatened by his friend at the bar, who also put his hands on me. Soon after this, even though I didn't lay a hand on anyone, I get physically pushed and prodded by the owner/ manager himself, Jeremy. I simply asked what the problem was and got a swift dose of disrespect. As I stated, I never got physical with anyone there and to be treated like this by the owner is just disgusting. I spoke with him briefly after everyone had calmed down and the idiots had left the bar. The owner seemed to have no remorse, and no justification for what he did to me. I really should have made a case out of this and pressed formal charges. I'm sure their security cameras captured the entire scene, and they would tell the tale exactly the same. I chose not to get physical with anyone since it was obvious the owner had taken their side over mine, and it was the right thing to do by just leaving at that point. Instead I will not honor them with my business any more, after almost 20 years of being a customer of theirs. I also will not support the owner's other business, Elmo's Rock Bar in Boynton Beach, who I had supported since they opened. I get that he may be a new owner, but that's not the way to run a business, and treating a long time customer this way is pretty shady in my book. So long Pit Row. Kid-friendliness: Strongly recommend no one brings their kids here!
