Walked in and the environment was pretty unkept. Seemed a little thrown together. I walked in with…read moremy african-american friend & felt a weird feeling from the jump. Went up to the cashier and the worker looked at my friend and I as if we were in the wrong place. We asked about pricing of hookah and eventually, the cashier told us to sit down and he'd come help. We sat for at least 7 mins with no service and another "party" came in after us sitting for that time, who was helped immediately before we were served a simple hello and welcome. We simply walked out & went elsewhere where we enjoyed a very friendly and relaxing environment.

They also allow cigarette smoking, which many patrons fully take advantage of. Just something to be aware of if you are sensitive to that as it does smell very strongly of cigarettes. (And you will too) Unfortunately the smell makes me sick, would have been 5 stars from me otherwise. But if you don't mind the smell, you will enjoy your visit and be treated well.

Didn't like them charging extra for no reason. Not stating it before hand. Was odd. Hookah was 6/10read more

First time going and I was skeptical... I didn't read the other reviews so it didn't hinder my…read morereview. This hookah lounge is in a plaza which is standard for most places but this plaza felt unsafe. I parked in the general parking area and I saw filthy people sitting in the outdoor area... also someone got their keys stolen in front of me... this was all before walking into the lounge.. Once I got inside, the place was okay. Nothing spectacular. The person who worked there doesn't know much English so its best to speak clearly in order for him to understand. The food was too salty in my opinion. I ordered a shawarma wrap with fries. Its was dry and salty... so salty. But the presentation wasn't bad. I had a blue mist hookah and honestly.. it was one of the best hookahs I've smoked. I would go back but probably with my husband because of the crowd outside of the hookah place.

Somewhat not what I was looking for, as I was simply hoping for a coffee shop that could do quality…read moreTurkish tea or coffee--which they certain can do both here, but I was not seeking a room filled with hookah smoke. But that's fine, a lot of people apparently are seeking such and that's exactly what you get here: a sizable space that could easily be small restaurant but as they have it is one large room with plenty of space to sit at a table, smoke a hookah, play cards, drink Turkish coffee or tea, and gossip far into the small hours of the night. There is space to sit on a patio in front of the coffeehouse as well on nice, pleasant, nights. This is a real, bona fide, Middle Eastern-style coffeehouse. It is where men--and yes, mostly men--gather from the early evening into the wee hours to meet with friends, smoke, and play cards. The dark Turkish coffee and tea fuels these deep into the night card games. When I was here it was mostly middle-aged men--a lot of them taxi drivers I have to presume because numerous taxi cabs were parked in the parking lot. Some college-aged dudes, too. But everyone was drinking coffee, smoking hookah, and playing cards. It's brightly-lit so that you can see your cards and not like an Americanized hookah bar designed to be part of a varied night of bar-hopping. No, not at all. This is a place to come for a good portion of the night and you'll find establishments like this all over the Middle East, Turkey, and Maghreb. With some variation, you'll find them in Iraq, Iran, and Eastern Europe, too. But again: this is the real deal. They had Warda on the stereo. Nearly everyone was speaking Arabic. I don't smoke, but I do appreciate the culture of this place and am glad it's here. I don't think they serve food however I saw people bringing food in from Green Land Restaurant next door, which I think is owned by the same folks, and that seemed fine.
