Not sure if this place picks up after 11pm, but it's pretty dead inside. There were only 2-3 other patrons besides me and my friend. I didn't mind it too much except for when one person pulled out her phone to loudly watch videos without headphones lol. They were nice enough to switch flavors for us for free when my friend didn't like the first blend we got. She thought the dream mix was weak and preferred the blend of 2 flavors she picked. That being said, they don't have water cups and you have to pay for Fiji water bottles. I think people would up the reviews if the ambiance was better. It's a lounge so that does matter to people: the TV screens playing multiple different things and loud music despite being empty just made it feel like I was in a frat house meets sports bar. Anyways I'd be back if I didn't want to wait at other lounges. read more

Disrespectful Experience at DREAM Hookah LOUNGE I visited Dream Hookah Lounge with a few friends last night and had an incredibly disappointing experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were extremely rude and unaccommodating. We were told we couldn't take the menu to our table and had to place our order right there, which felt very rushed and unwelcoming. The pricing was confusing, and the staff's attitude made us feel unwelcome. The guy was so disrespectful if there was any body rather then me was getting in a fight with him the guy was simply racist because I'm Middle Eastern American and he was a white guy, but he didn't know that I am a white middle Eastern that grow up in this country and voted every four years I swear if my wife was not there, then I was showing the guy that was up. So he should know how to respect the people, and how he should talk to the people. Additionally, when we asked for simple drinks, we were told that only hot tea was available, and even basic requests were denied. The situation escalated when we tried to use the bathroom he is coming trying to open the badges door for what to see my shit I am so passed and were treated invasively, and we were also told we couldn't go to our car for a smoke. Overall, the lack of respect and the unprofessionalism left a very negative impression. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the overall experience for customers . I want personally that you the owner contact me and explain your employees attitude read more

My group and I walked in and waited for a bit for the worker to come up. He was not pleasant or welcoming. The menus have no pricing so when we asked about it he stated that we had to purchase one hookah per person but would make us a deal and do 2 hookahs for 4 people. Then told us each hookah was almost $76. That is ridiculous. We decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. read more

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience here. I came in expecting professional and reliable service, but things did not go as planned at all. There were issues with how my payment/refund was handled, and I never got a clear or helpful response when I tried to follow up. Communication was frustrating and left me feeling ignored. owner was called, was very Unprofessional, also very threatening stated "do you know who I am, I'm salah or salieh" Situation was that there was roches all over our sitting area we wanted to leave they didn't want to refund us because we smoked the hook Overall, this was not a good experience, and I would recommend others be cautious and keep a close eye on their belongings. I really hope the business improves its customer service and accountability moving forward. read more

We walked in looking for a late night place to smoke some hookah around 3am, and were shocked this place was open until 5am. We stood at the front for about 15mins and saw no employees, and were not helped. We went to the bathroom, then stood at the window seeing if we saw anyone working. We did not. We waited another 10mins before we left due to lack of service. Would not return. They also had a limited selection of flavors. read more

Honestly vibes were off. Everybody was so rude. The music wasn't even good. They were super expensive. There was an entry fee. Honestly, there is better places within the area. I suggest you guys would look for elsewhere because this was not worth it. They choose your hookah flavor, and if you don't like it, they will not let you change it without a fee. read more

The music was good but when we came in, we didn't even get to select our hookah. They pre-selected our flavors and they tasted like crap. We asked to change our flavors and the guy rudely was like you've been here for a minute. It's gonna be 20+ to change the flavor. After we had spent 150 on the entry and bought drinks. It kind of seemed like a scam, not worth it. There's other places within the area that are well worth your money. read more

Avoid at all cost! We went in a group of five lovely African-American individuals on a Saturday night, where the entire place was completely empty and were told that there is a requirement to order a minimum of three hookahs for a table of five when two out of our party, don't even want to smoke the hookah. The gentleman who took our order did not seem like he wanted to serve us and was very impatient I wouldn't recommend this location if you are looking for a great ambience for African-American people. read more

Awesome place... the service overall was very consistent. The staff would occasionally come to check on their customers even being busy. The setting is very clean and welcoming. The DJ had everyone vibing out so he gets a 5 stars also. The cherry on top is that this lounge shits their doors at 5am I didn't have food this time around since me and my wife ate prior to arriving at this location. I will say that the prices are reasonable on the menu. Next time I'll give an update on the food taste and quality. read more

First time hookah user. Incredible first experience. A friend of mine used to work at Dream Hookah Lounge so I knew about it, but haven't smoked hookah yet. Pretty good environment. Nice, and chill. Charles helped me out today. He came by and taught me how to smoke and everything. He even asked if I wanted another bowl, which I think is pretty impressive with the amount of people around. I definitely wouldn't remember times when a person comes in, lol. I'm kind of a hermit, so I don't like socializing much. So it was nice to go out somewhere, chill on my laptop and not be bothered much. I look forward to coming back. read more

Definitely do not recommend for a hookah lounge. Music was too loud to even think, the service is horrible had to wait at least a good 10/15 minutes for coals after the coals on my hookah ended. Unless, I guess you're a regular you don't get any service and by the time you do the owner or manager comes around and tells you to leave. I understand if the place was busy, which by the was not, to have a set time that a customer can sit and smoke. Was not informed of any time limit or signage posted for a time limit. The owner or manager came and asked if I wanted a refill and when I said no and that my hookah flavor was still smoking good is when he proceeded to then inform me that there is a time limit to sit there and smoke. If there is any good thing about the place is that they take cash and card and that there is food served. read more

The lounge itself is good. The workers and atmosphere is great. Malik, Charles, Carlos and all the other workers do an amazing job. Reason I give it 1 star is because of the "Manager" Dean. He has probably the worst attitude I've ever seen in any business I've been to. He yells at his workers and at some customers in front of other customers. When he has his little "car meet" he forces people... especially his paying customers to move their car or else he'll get them towed. He has no RESPECT for anyone. Don't trust his smile, cause I'm sure it's a fake smile for "business". Also, on Fridays and Saturdays during DJ night, even if you've been at the lounge for a certain amount of hours, once the DJs show up, he'll remove you from your spot so others can take it. Finally, if you get on his bad side, he'll ban you for "his personal reasons". read more

They have a few booth seating but mostly all tables and chairs. I liked the music here. It's mostly hip hop and electronics. Of course they have racy music videos playing. The music is blasted pretty loud so it's not a place to really talk. Still its cheap and chill and we will probably be back again. read more

Love this place so much! I wish that this place was up here in Burbank. Hookah is inexpensive and Happy Hour is $8 hookahs! That is 1/3 of how much I usually pay up here in Burbank! Definitely a place to go to after a Disney day for sure! Lots of flavors and it's really a hookah lounge. Not much on the food side but who needs food! Atmosphere is super chill, nice couches and TVs... Service isn't that apparent but that's with any hookah joint. Don't forget you pay up front and tip at the table. I would come here again and frequent it daily if it was in Burbank no joke! Ah well... read more

Its convenient because everyone can just order and pay on their own tab. The food, hookah, and cards are all ordered through this. Everything came out lightening fast. I got the chicken plate with white meat and the cinnamon tea, less sweet. The plate had plenty of food and was pretty good but not anything special. The tea was absolutely delish and I would highly recommend it. Randomly the chips off of my friends plate were one of my favorite things. I dipped it in the hummus and it was a great flavor combo. They have plenty of hookah flavors and by 8:00 pm the place was packed and you could not see through the smoke lol. Service is a little spotty if you need help. There were some helpful servers and some that were lacking. The place has 2-3 too many tables, you have to walk through a maze to try to exit because it is so cramped. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Most of our group ended up just holding our pee in! Overall the place had good vibes but there are some holes in the service.

As somebody born in Iraq and raised around real Arabic food in Dearborn, Michigan. Yes you guys met…read morea real Arab! this place was honestly offensive. I know exactly what authentic Middle Eastern food tastes like, smells like, and looks like. This was not it. This felt like recycled cafeteria food dressed up for people who have never had the real thing. For almost $65, I genuinely felt robbed. Everything tasted old, aged, reheated, and low effort. Nothing had freshness, brightness, or quality behind it. Real hummus is supposed to be balanced between chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, and olive oil. Even food writers and traditional recipes describe hummus as a smooth blend where the chickpeas are the foundation and the tahini supports the flavor -- not the other way around. Apparently this restaurant never got that memo because I'm pretty sure they accidentally served me a bowl of straight tahini and forgot the hummus entirely. I thought chickpeas were one of the cheapest ingredients on earth, but somehow they managed to make hummus without any actual chickpea flavor. It was bitter, muddy, heavy, and completely drowned in sesame paste. Whoever made it must've been in a personal blood feud with olive oil and lemon juice too. The fattoush was an absolute disaster. Real fattoush is supposed to have freshness, herbs, vegetables, citrus, and crispy pita with texture and balance. What I got was a depressing garden salad tossed in cheap dressing with pita chips fried so hard and soaked in old oil that they were basically edible roofing shingles. I love pita chips, but these things were NOT brittle like glass. I felt like I was eating hardened gummy bread. I genuinely thought I was going to crack a tooth. They tasted like stale fried scraps reheated over and over again until all flavor and dignity left them. The tabouli somehow had even less life in it. No brightness. No freshness. No clean parsley flavor. It tasted like it was prepared months ago and forgotten in a refrigerator. Even the pita bread was stale. STALE. That alone tells me everything I need to know about the kitchen. Any real Middle Eastern restaurant knows fresh bread is sacred. " How dare you people!" Then to top it all off, the attitude was horrible. Cold, dismissive service from people acting annoyed that customers even exist. The overall cleanliness and presentation of the restaurant honestly made the entire experience worse. Besides the young girl working she's the one star for my review. California desperately needs to stop letting places like this claim they serve "authentic" middle eastern food. This is the kind of place that survives off hype, location, and customers who simply do not know better. If you grew up eating real Iraqi, Lebanese, Syrian, or Dearborn-style food, you will immediately know something is wrong here. I left overcharged, disappointed, and honestly feeling sick afterward. One of the worst Mediterranean food experiences I've ever had. كشخص وُلد في العراق وكبر على الأكل العربي الحقيقي في ميشيغان وديربورن، فهذه التجربة كانت إهانة بكل معنى الكلمة. أنا أعرف تمامًا كيف يجب أن يكون طعم الأكل العربي الأصيل وشكله ورائحته، وهذا المكان لا يمتّ له بأي صلة. شعرت وكأنهم يقدمون أكلًا مُعاد تدويره ومُجهزًا للناس الذين لم يجرّبوا الأكل الحقيقي في حياتهم. دفعت تقريبًا 65 دولارًا، وبصراحة شعرت أني انسرقت. كل شيء كان بطعم قديم، وكأنه محضّر من أيام أو معاد تسخينه عشر مرات. لا يوجد أي انتعاش أو جودة أو اهتمام بالتفاصيل. الحمص كان كارثة. بصراحة كنت أعتقد أن الحمص من أرخص المكونات الموجودة على وجه الأرض، لكن يبدو أن المطعم خلط طلبي وقرر أن يعطيني طحينة صافية وينسى الحمص بالكامل. الطعم كان مُرًّا وثقيلًا ومليئًا بالطحينة بشكل مقزز، بدون أي توازن أو نكهة حمص حقيقية. واضح أن الشخص الذي حضّره عنده مشكلة شخصية مع الحمص وزيت الزيتون والليمون. أما الفتوش، فكان فضيحة. الفتوش الحقيقي يجب أن يكون منعشًا ومليئًا بالنكهات والخبز المقرمش الطازج، لكن ما وصلني كان مجرد سلطة عادية مع قطع خبز مقلية زيادة عن اللزوم ومشبعة بزيت قديم لدرجة أنها كانت قاسية مثل الزجاج. حرفيًا حسّيت أني سأكسر سنًا وأنا آكلها. التبولة لم يكن فيها أي حياة. لا انتعاش، لا ليمون، لا نكهة بقدونس نظيفة. طعمها وكأنها منسية في الثلاجة من أمس. وحتى الخبز كان يابسًا. وليس "ناشف قليلًا"، بل قديم ويابس فعلًا. أي مطعم عربي حقيقي يعرف أن الخبز الطازج شيء أساسي ومقدّس. وفوق كل هذا، الخدمة كانت سيئة جدًا. تعامل بارد ومستفز وكأنهم متضايقون من وجود الزبائن أصلًا. ونظافة المكان وطريقة التقديم لم تساعد إطلاقًا. كاليفورنيا فعلًا لازم تتوقف عن السماح لأماكن كهذه أن تدّعي أنها تقدم أكلًا عربيًا "أصيلًا". هذا النوع من المطاعم يعيش فقط على الاسم والشكل والناس الذين لا يعرفون الفرق بين الأكل الحقيقي والتقليد الرخيص. خرجت من المكان نادمًا، منزعجًا، ومعدتي تؤلمني من سوء الجودة. واحدة من أسوأ تجارب

Came here on a Sunday night and the place was pretty empty…read more When we approached the host stand, a man was standing there with his back to us on his phone. We weren't even sure if he worked there or was just waiting. We walked past him and saw two guys (one seemed like the owner or manager) standing and talking. No acknowledgment at all. We finally asked if we could sit anywhere and were just told "yes." We sat outside and waited quite a while before anyone came to take our order. We ordered a Blue Mist hookah and it had almost no flavor -- it tasted like it had already been smoked for an hour. No one checked on us, so my husband had to get up and find the manager to ask for a replacement. We switched to Double Apple and it was the same thing: basically flavorless. We asked for water and the manager dropped off bottled water without saying anything. It's really frustrating when you're not told upfront that there's no free water. If I'm paying for a drink anyway, I would've preferred tea. Once again, we had to track down the manager to ask him to swap it out for tea. We also ordered a combo kebab platter. The presentation was nice, but the food itself was average. The meats were decent, but the hummus was pretty bad. To top it off, the guy who had been standing at the host stand (who we later realized worked there) sat at a nearby table watching videos loudly on his phone while we were eating. Super annoying and unprofessional. Overall, poor service and food that didn't really deliver. Not a place I'd rush back to.

Cairo Restaurant & Cafe - Anaheim Rating: (5/5)…read more I ordered from Cairo Restaurant & Cafe through Uber Eats, and this ended up being one of the most meaningful food experiences I've had in a long time. For context, I come from Egyptian heritage. I'm first-generation American, and both of my parents grew up in Cairo. The dishes I ordered -- Hawashy as an appetizer and Makaroni Bechamel (Bashmil) casserole -- are foods I grew up with. The last time I had this exact meal cooked for me by my mother was several years ago, so placing this order felt like a gamble, especially with the restaurant being all the way in Anaheim while I live in Irvine. That gamble paid off immediately. From the very first bite, the food tasted unmistakably authentic. The hawashy was deeply seasoned, rich, and comforting -- exactly how it's supposed to be, not watered down or adjusted for convenience. The makaroni bechamel was the real emotional gut punch in the best way possible. Creamy, savory, perfectly spiced, and layered the way it's done back home. It tasted like something made with care, patience, and respect for the dish. I'm not exaggerating when I say this meal hit me hard. After one bite, I literally called the restaurant just to thank them. I asked to speak to the manager and told him what this meal meant to me -- how it tasted like something my own mother would make, how it brought back memories I didn't realize I'd been missing. That call wasn't planned. It was instinctive. Huge shout-out to Zayne, the manager, who was incredibly kind and generous on the phone. He even sent along kunafa for dessert, which was the perfect ending to the meal -- warm, sweet, and beautifully made. Beyond the food itself, the packaging deserves real praise. Everything arrived hot, which is not easy, especially for a casserole like makaroni bechamel. Once that dish cools too much, it loses something important. This didn't. It arrived as if it had just come out of the oven, which speaks volumes about the care taken in preparing orders for delivery. This is not a 5-star review because of nostalgia or heritage alone. It's a 5-star review because the food was genuinely outstanding -- rich, decadent, comforting, and made the right way. It is very hard for me to say that something compares to my mother's cooking, but this truly came close. I cannot wait to come in person in the next few weeks. Cairo Restaurant & Cafe didn't just serve food -- they delivered a memory.

Came in last night for a quick bite. Lots of people smoking hookah on the patio but I sat inside…read more Wasn't super hungry so I just got the lentil soup and hawawshy, which is an Egyptian street food where they stuff pita bread with ground beef and spices. Both dishes were good but not amazing. Another customer came in and I overheard him say, "this seems more like a hookah spot than a food spot." I'd have to agree with him

My brother and I wanted hookah so we found this place on Yelp and were greeted and seated immediately. They recommended flavors we should try and we took them up on their recommendations. They have ice tips, so it's super refreshing! It was our first time seeing ice tips at a hookah spot, so TY for the new experience! They have a large selection of goodies at the front of the store-- snacks, drinks and all that! We also tried their Dubai chocolate...freakin amazing. Anyways...check this place out. They play hip hop and R & B...it's a whole vibe. K bye!!!
