    iraqi kabab (ch) $13.99
    Sheela K.

    This place deserves a lot more recognition. It's a low key family oriented hookah lounge if that's even a thing. We got their: - tea with mint - Iraqi chicken kabob platter $13.99 The plates as seen comes with hummous, tabbouleh, (2) chicken kabobs, rice, and a sauce The chicken kabobs are juicy and full of flavor yet not overpowering. The sauce doesn't taste fully like toum it's like possibly garlic and mayo based. The tabbouleh was fresh and tasty, the rice was tasty with butter or ghee with hints of cardamom. Service is welcoming and kind. This will always be a go to whenever in the area

    Price $1 & up Parking : located in a small strip mall We found this restaurant on Yelp & the reviews are pretty much accurate. The place is not modern or up to date, if you are looking for an ambiance or an experience this is not the place for you, however, if you are looking for somethingaid back with good food then walk right on in. The service is laid back, the food is made fresh to order. The food was delicious from the lamb, chicken, shrimp, salad & sauces are everything was seasoned well & freshly made. They have various beverages & I do believe they do not seel alcoholic beverages. However, I was fasting, so it was a priority for me on that day. They have these amazing looking Hookah, so if you like to Hookah & want official Shisha, this is the place. They have flat screens, tables & sections. I was at the restaurant in the early afternoon maybe in the evening it a different ambiance. I would definitely return the food was delicious. 4

    Grilled Fish

    DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!!!!!!!!!! Parking in a dim lit lot but free. Do not judge this place by the outside appearance! It is a great time! No alcohol served, but juice, smoothies and teas are available. Our server Malikka was AWESOME and balanced all the tables on a Friday night like a champ! The smoothie was just the right sweetness and a large size. The grilled fish was outstanding. My friend and I were totally silent as we ripped our plates apart with no mercy. The lentil soup is more like dahl but tasty. Malikka suggested adding lemon squeezes to it and that made such a nice difference. Hookah was smoooooooooth and serviced regularly with coals. I loved my time there and would be back!

    Hummus Appetizer freshly blended

    What a delicious place! I actually tried them once before via Uber Eats but in person this was so amazing. The price was right and everything came out fresh. Me and a friend came to this place in the middle of the day. I wanted something different and this half chicken came with rice and salad for like 15 dollars and the hummus was fresh! My friend got the Meat Trio w chicken, Iraqi and beef kabob and we just were like so happy because the flavor was all there. The chicken was falling off the bone. The restaurant looked like an Arabic castle in the inside.

    Mixed Dijla Mix grill
    Tauheedah M.

    Ordered via Uber eats so unfortunately everything came cold. Ordered the mix grill with a falafel appetizer. My Husband had the Iraqi chicken kebab sandwich. As far as the mixed grill it comes with a chicken and lamb kebab and a beef and chicken Iraqi kebab. I don't eat beef so I asked for both Iraqi kebabs to be chicken. They did follow the orders. Everything was delicious except the Iraqi Kebabs. They were extremely tough/dry/rubbery so they didn't get eaten. The Iraqi Kebab sandwich same issue the chicken was very tough so that went to waste. The Falafel was very hard so that didn't get eaten. So I'm torn. I feel as if I wasted a lot of money but it was our first time patronizing this place. The meat is halal so I was super excited. If I do go in to support I will definitely stick to the chicken and lamb kebabs. The sandwich didn't even have any veggies on it. Just a tortilla and the Iraqi kebab and some white sauce. Oh also there were 2 sauces that came with my mixed grill that I assumed were garlic sauce and tahini but both taste like straight mayonnaise and I hate Mayo so I'm not sure what that's about. I end up biting into the jalapeño pepper that was served with it to get the Mayo taste out my mouth. I gave 3 stars bc of the chicken and lamb kebab but I am kind of sad that I feel that I wasted so much of my hard earned money.

    Sampler Appetizer

    The Hookah was excellent, the lamb shawarma platter was excellent. The vibes were chill. I have to ding the service the female serving us was struggling with the simple things.

    Falafel
    Tanni D.

    I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food and wanted to try a new place, so my partner and I ordered from here via Uber Eats. The food is pretty affordable and the portions are large but aside from the rice, everything was just way too dry. The exteriors of the falafels were also hard. The flavors were there, but unfortunately the texture was not.

    This is a don't judge establishment when you pull up or look around inside... The inside was pretty dim, even during the day (see my picture). It was around 12:30 PM on a Saturday when we arrived. There was a couple of folks around the restaurant, but we weren't sure if they were patrons or knew the owners and were just lounging around. Customers dining in wise, there were the hubs and I along with a mother and daughter. The place wasn't busy by any means when we left around 2 ish. The day was still early though. We shared the mix appetizer. I had the lamb shank while he had the mouslia kubba. The mix appetizer had one of the salads (unsure exactly which one), taboula, hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and assorted pickles. I def rec this if you truly want to sample most of the stuff in the appetizer section. One worthy thing to mention: There were only two grape leaves, but it was rather too salty. The lamb shank was pretty sizable. It came with pilaf rice, hummus, and a salad. The lamb was a huge piece; it was pretty good with the fat and bone meat. There were plenty of rice to mellow out the lamb's flavor. The hummus and salad helped as well. The mouslia kubba was interesting and different. It's a big circular kebba borghal that was stuffed with minced meat. It was sort of like a dry, stuffed pancake with a hard crust and dry ish meat inside. The hubs seemed to like it, but it was too dry for my palate. It's def something different from the typical wraps and platters. Overall the food here wasn't bad. From appearances, the dimly lit interior and couches make it seem like it's more of a hookah lounge than cafe. But they do offer a variety of foods with tables and chairs toward the back.

    Food is good. Authentic middle eastern, with good portion. We tried the Kefta and kabab and both taste good.

    Ask the Community - Dijla Cafe & Lounge

    Do you serve halal food?

    Yes we do

    Is the smoking in a well-separated section? (Or, is there a dining area away from the smoking?)

    We do have separate section for non- hookah smokers

    Is this 18+?

    Ideally yes, but if you wanna take someone below 18 you may call ahead and ask the owner, he's very nice about it.

    Came here to enjoy hookah with a friend and ended up having a really good time. This location used…read moreto be Cafe Istanbul and is now Sky Lounge, and they've done a great job refreshing the experience. One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

The food is…read moredecent especially the garlic naan, hookah is reasonably priced, and all the male servers are really sweet and welcoming. But there is a new lady who has been there a lot recently who kind of just throws off the whole vibe of the place. She always gives off an attitude and like she doesn't want to be there. Then when you ask her for anything, it takes her forever to bring it out. Then I notice you really need to look over your receipt with her because there is always some type of overcharge when I deal with her. But besides the lady, my only other complaint is the new mandatory 18% gratuity per ticket plus 3% card fee they add on! Like for one person they automatically add 18% gratuity which is insane especially when you have to hunt down ppl for refills and to go boxes! Oh and The espresso martinis are good but I think they water down most of their drinks and the shots, especially if you get more than one round

    Literally turning up on BunnAmour on a random summer slide thru the A is why I STILL love H.E.R…read more This East African (Habesha really ) hookah lounge spot had me at first feeling like a tourist but once we settled in, this was a very memorable segue on yet another night for the ages. I didn't order food (next time, then?) but we ran the gamut of drinks and hookah for a few hours and it reminded me that I actually need to book a flight to Addis or Bahir... But I digress. It's a small, cozy spot but even if it was packed I wouldn't call it crowded. And the muzikaaa.. Perfect playlist--some afrobeat, some traditional /national Ethiopian.. All love for my tastes. I'm hoping the next time I'm bending a few corners in the east and have some time to kill I can get another glimpse and maybe chop with the owner.

    June 2022 Super cozy…read morehookah lounge 10 minutes from my house! Cozy, with huge curtained sections, and bar seating is available. Periodically,the amazing servers pass around complementary Ethiopian coffee, which is delicious and an experience within itself. Servers are constantly checking in as well. Pricing was good. Unfortunately , we went on a Sunday most recently . After 11:45 pm, there was no more American music . It was strictly Ethiopian traditional music. That's fine , however that type of music isn't really easy to dance and be sexy to. A little RnB would have went a long way . Service: 5/5 Prices: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Taste/Textures: N/A Value: 4/5 Bottom Line : Besides the music, we love this spot! We will try again on a Friday or Saturday night to experience the turnup!
