If you're looking for a spot that perfectly nails the "lounge vibe" without the chaotic energy of a…read moreclub, Trio Hookah Lounge is exactly where you need to be. It has officially become my go-to destination whenever I visit Jacksonville and want to get out of the house and actually enjoy my night. First off, the service here is top-tier. The staff is attentive, friendly, and they genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. And the food? It's consistently delicious. I recently had the salmon, and it was cooked to perfection--flaky, flavorful, and better than what you'd find at most dedicated restaurants. It's rare to find a lounge where the kitchen keeps up with the quality of the atmosphere, but Trio pulls it off effortlessly. Now, let's talk about the main event. In my opinion, Trio offers the best hookah in the city. The pulls are smooth, the flavors are bold, and the setup is always clean. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing smoke, you won't find a better experience elsewhere. The Vibe: It's a true kick-back atmosphere. It's sophisticated and lively, making it the perfect middle ground for those who want to socialize without the deafening noise of a nightclub. The Crowd: Be warned--this place is a local favorite for a reason! It gets rather packed on the weekends. Reservations: To ensure you aren't stuck waiting, I highly recommend reserving a table in advance if you're planning a weekend visit. I can't recommend Trio Hookah Lounge enough. Whether you're there for the vibes, the incredible salmon, or the smoothest hookah in town, you're guaranteed a great time.

Because this place was so close to where I was visiting and looked cool AND was rated highly on here, I was on my way. Right away I was greeted and seated by a hostess named Rosy (she was seriously fun and amazing the whole time). The layout and vibe of the place is so awesome. The DJ played good music, the crowd was chill, and best of all this place serves wine and beer (and food). However, this place gets 5 stars for the customer service. I ordered a brand/flavor I smoke at home on the regular so when I got my hookah, I was certain it didn't taste like what ordered. I let Rosy know and the owner came out to try it. Rosy agreed it didn't taste like gum mint and the owner graciously changed it out. From my experience at hookah bars, flavors can come out differently if the head isn't cleaned well, but the owner insisted they all are. He even brought out the box of shisha so I could see what they're using and yes, it was the exact one I have. After changing it out, it still wasn't right. He came back to check on me and I was honest in that it still didn't taste like gum mint, but I told him it was fine. He offered to swap it out yet again, but at this point I wasn't trying to be difficult. His whole staff and himself had been so nice and I didn't want to be "that customer." The next night I came back with my brother and the owner along with another waitress from the previous night remembered me and once again received excellent service. I have to add that prices are very reasonable for both hookah (if you like Al Fahkar) and drinks, but it's such an awesome place that the bill WILL add up. I can see why this place has such good reviews and I will be back when I visit again.

This was by far the best experience I've ever had at a hookah lounge, and that says a lot for someone who doesn't smoke! The food here caught me by surprise in the best way possible! Not only was I super satisfied with the selection on the menu, but everyone ordered something different and we basically got to see a showcase of menu items. The lowest scoring menu item to us was still a 5.5 which is solid. I would highly recommend coming here, especially with friends. They have good music playing and service for us was a 10 out of 10. I was helped by Brodie and Korey and when I tell you guys they took such good care of us I mean it! Brodie was our bartender, he took the time to perfect each drink & always made sure we were topped off with refills! Korey took care of absolutely everything we could have asked for! From napkins to photos she was willing to do it all! I can't wait to come back here!!! Especially for those egg rolls!!

His passion for cooking with fresh ingredients shines through in every single bite. Everything here is made completely from scratch, and you can truly taste the love behind the food. We started with the creamiest fresh-made hummus and tangy tzatziki, followed by kibbeh and perfectly fried labneh that were crispy on the outside and dreamy on the inside. The lentil soup was cozy and comforting, and the Mediterranean house salad was bright, crisp, and loaded with flavor. Then came the main event: a massive Mediterranean feast with grilled meats, shrimp, chicken, lamb, fresh veggies, and house-made sauces. All cooked to perfection by Chef Saad. The cocktails were refreshing and delicious, and the hookah had the smoothest minty-tropical flavor that paired perfectly with the entire experience. And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite... we met the crispy banana dessert. A warm, golden pastry stuffed with banana and cheesecake, lightly fried, and served with vanilla ice cream. Absolute heaven. From the food to the drinks to the service, Sahara Café delivered a 10/10 experience. Jacksonville, if you're looking for authentic Mediterranean cuisine made with heart, this is the spot.

They have Philly cheesesteak combos for less than ten dollars, that includes fries and a canned cold drink.

It's located in a strip mall. We dined in for the first time two days ago. It was comfortable enough to dine there. I also bought a piece of baklava for my desert. It was delicious. They have two kind, Pistachio or pecan. I have tried both and they are equally good. If you are in the area, I recommend you stopping in for a great meal. They also have burgers, shrimp and many other foods to choose from. I like the store in the other side. P. S.-I bought a spinach pie for lunch(for the next day)& it was delicious!

But after many failed attempts, we ended up here because it was the one of the only places where the kitchen was still open at 9:30 at night to our surprise, this place is an actual nightclub! I will say that the place was extremely clean and open, perfect for groups and gatherings. At the time we arrived, the place was fairly empty. Because they are a club/lounge, they are known for their all you can drink option. Unfortunately, I do not consume liquor, only wine, so this created limited options in regards to drinks. The manager was so accommodating that he acquired a bottle of wine for our table so that I could enjoy an alcoholic beverage. Our food was very tasteful, and very fresh tasting. We were extremely shocked, given that this was indeed a nightclub. If you're ever in the area and you want to enjoy some Latin vibes, but you also want to secure some good food to have while you drink, definitely count this place in!
