Fire temple is the best hookah lounge around! Excellent customer service, good music, they have tons of flavors to choose from. Alcohol available for the 21+ and other snacks and non-tobacco flavors for 18+! I don't think we'll go to other places bc of how much we love the workers and the atmosphere here. Natalie Latrell and Danny are amazing. Best bowls ever, they last long, and are always on top of the coal run. And they're all cute so you got some eye candy read more

The only reason we gave 1 star is because we enjoyed the music and that ended abruptly. The employee Jay is unsafe and scary to be around. As my fiancé and I were winding down from our date night we stopped at the hookah club and witnessed the employee yelling demeaning disrespecting a african american woman customer as she was sitting. My fiancé was prepared to be on defense for the lady if needed be. Background checks and serious security is needed to continue business here. The lady held her ground luckily she was with 2 friends or maybe 1 boyfriend but the younger mexican curly hair with hat employee kept pushing cursing and poking start large problems. We would never return here they need to go out of business. We left to avoid ruining our date night which sucks because my fiancé was going to show me his pool table skills before leaving. This place is not safe;Be smart and try elsewhere read more

We come here often and enjoy it. Free pool while you chill and smoke. Jay was cool too.

I walk in with a friend, I get it's slow.. but putting on a movie that's buffering every 5 minutes is BEYOND annoying. I ended up leaving, hookah was good. Horrible for anyone that's trying to chill. read more

Server told us that they would be closing at 1130pm when they are supposed to be open until 1am!

This was the first Hookah lounge that i've been to in the valley. The age group was from 20s to 30. There were multiple flat screen t.v s showing music videos and the sound system was bumping new school trap, rap and reggaeton music. They have two pool tables and you can order beers at the front counter. We were there on a Wednesday night (night before Thanksgiving). The "servers" were really nice and the atmosphere in the lounge was friendly. This place definitely gets packed on the holidays and weekends. read more

We are originally from LA and just visiting in the area. This place is young and hip. Average age is 25ish and the music is hip hop/ r&b/ top 40s/ edm. We got a hookah and two beers for $22(that's a great price for the quality of the hookah) very friendly staff and clean facility. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place the employees are always to wasted to help the customers extremely unprofessional. Drinking on the clock should be took seriously. The business is nice needs cleaned more , seen a few cockroaches the bathrooms were gross my hookah had mold in it . Could have be a nice place if it was managed better read more

This place is great, the hookah is awesome, music is good and so is the atmosphere. They have some pretty good seating, very attentive staff and they know what they are doing :) and they also have five 60" tvs that they play music videos on. read more

The manger is incompetent at the best. He doesnt communicate to his customers about anything relevant. When I asked him about the flavors he did not tell me that they were all mixed together..I then told him I was not aware of this and he appeared to be out of his mind..I tried to communicate with him about this problem and he didnt care read more

This place is great the service is fantastic they have so many hookah flavors to choose from and all the girls loved their tea the place is great our table got checked on almost every 15 mins to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything the girls who work there are real nice and always make sure the coals are burning the boss is hella cool he made sure if anyone was feeling light headed that they got something to drink it was our 1st time last night and we will definitely be back read more

One of the best hookah lounges in the area. Great vibe. Very chill and not too much of a party atmosphere that you might find in other hookah lounges. Very modern looking on the inside and customer service is second to none! Hookah is always spot on and the prices are extremely reasonable! Highly recommend! read more

The best hookah lounge in 209 area. Their hookahs are great and I didn't find it anywhere. The customer service is amazing and they treat you like your own friends. I never felt tired or boring here. Music selections are great and I should say a special thanks to its owner , Paul , for providing the best hookahs Highly recommended if you want to enjoy your night. read more

This use to be the best place/hookah in town! But along with the service, the music has changed/declined in a major way! Most of the time you cant even have a conversation over the music. Very inconsistent place now, from the mood of the staff to music to maybe or maybe not getting new charcoal, and to top if off the time they close. The workers pretty much decide on a nightly basis... could be 1245am. Could be 1... could be 130am or even 2am. read more

Been here twice in the past 3 weeks and on my last visit, the service was horrible! Took forever for my hookah to even come to me. The it took over 30 min for the guy working to come to check my coals or replace them. I got an ice tip and lemme tell you guys, DON'T. It got warm within 15 min of receiving it, so when the guy came around checking coals the first time, I asked him if I could have a normal hose instead and he said yeah... 45 min later he came around to check the coals again and I asked him again for a normal hose and he's like oh yeah I forgot. Well duhhh, obvi you forgot. I'll prolly give them another shot soon, but their service needs a huge step up. read more

Every time we go the hookah sucks! They never pack the bowls right, it always taste like the bowls burning. And they ID every damn time even though they've seen us multiple times before. Never check if people need more charcoal. NOT recommended. Definitely not going they're anymore! read more

My first experience here wasn't the best. The hookahs are very nice the whole ice set up its cool and all but they give too few coals. It's very hard to milk the hookah and keep the heat. The tips don't allow enough air flow. For anyone that is looking to do smoke tricks I recommended smoking at your house. The music was very out dated lil Wayne all night. Not a good choice for a Saturday night. Pricing however is very reasonable. Customer service isn't bad and the owner is a nice guy. If give them another chance but if it is another night like tonight I won't return. read more

Been her twice and I must say waiting for 40-50 minutes for your hookah to get to the table is annoying, they should do a stand or number system to avoid confusion and mis delivery to table. Other than that great ambience! read more

This lounge is the best not only in Modesto but the whole bay area! It is cozy, well contructed, nice seating arrangements, nice interior design, billards (pool) play area, well selected music for the lounge (not always to my personal taste but, hey it is a lounge for everyone, not just me). The owner Paul is a great guy. He greets you personally all time (if you have already met) and asks if everything is well and if you need something like a friend. The guys who work and make your hookahs are great guys. Latterell is a great guy. The coals are always changed and flavors last a long time. Come visit this place and you will not regret it. I am not 99.9% sure because nothing is ever 100% especially with human beings:). read more

Love the environment and great service. Employees were constantly checking on us and it was nice to relax and smoke hookah while watching music videos. Nice to go for a date or a group of friends. read more

Great spot sells beer. Good way to wash down the hookah. Great ambiance and TVs in the right spots

Horrible service tonight. I ordered my hookah and it took them thirty minutes to bring it my table. My friend had ordered a drink and kept having to remind the girl and guy that she had also purchased a drink but that took them an HOUR!!! We would always come here and get good service but tonight was just not one of those nights. Our night has been ruined. read more

Everytime I go there it's great! The customer service is great, and if something is wrong with your hookah, they'll fix it right away, with no charge! Not too expensive so it's a cool social environment with tons of seating! A few hd tv's will keep you even more entertained while you watch music videos while smoking. Fire Temple is the best hookah bar around, hands down! read more

Didn't let me request a song said they don't allow it on the weekends. Never checked up on our charcoal, we had to leave due to that. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because the server was somewhat cool. read more

Between here and habibi this place is great. We come here pretty often and the service is always great. They often check up on us and make sure everything is okay. They are very accommodating with making sure we are taken care of. Aside from that the environment is chill and the music is a good selection of different varieties. Come and slow down from life and enjoy! read more

It smelled a bit like cat urine when my friend and u went in there. The girls that work there are super friendly. The hookah itself is odd. It's very harsh even with spearmint read more

Cool environment but the music wasn't good at all. Hookahs look dope and throw some clouds but flavor was the killer for me. I didn't like the different flavors that were available and price is too high. read more

We love this place! Tvs are perfectly placed, hookah hits well and they check on you often. Also they have a good assortment of beer and who could be mad at that! read more

It was a cool place to chill but the prices are a butt fuck ton of money to spend. $45 for 1 hookah to smoke are you kidding me?! That's ridiculous. Also we didn't get no tongs to adjust our coals and our hookah was packed too tight so we asked the guy and he was being a jackass telling us we're not smoking it right. I'm middle eastern and he's white fool you don't know jack shit about hookah's especially if he just started 3 days ago. That was the worst experience ever we're never coming back. read more

Came here on a Thurs. night. The hookah itself wasnt that great compared to surrounding hookah lounges. The hookah took so long to come out my friend and I wondered if the guy forgot about our order. Flavor lasts about an hour, hour and a half tops, there was too much water in the base and smoke output is meh. Also, NO REGULAR COAL SERVICE? Maybe check up on your guests more? The music is sooooo random. Theres no rhyme or reason to what they play. If you come here youll know what i mean. Overall the visit was bleh. The Persian tea is like the Bigalow of Persian teas. Pass on it if youre looking for the strong flavorful type. Also the place is not the most convenient to get to from the parking lot. The place doesnt look like the same as the pictures from 3 years ago which in my opinion is a bummer since it looked better back in the day. The pics from 3 yrs ago actually made me wanna try this place out. Shouldve looked at the updated photos. The only up sides were the price and the 3 tv display on the ceiling, other than that it was a less than mediocre experience. read more

This is the best hookah in Northern California. Hands down. Great atmosphere and vibe. Hookah always hits. All the flavors are amazing. Paul really takes care of every customer and makes sure everything is great. Service is fantastic and never disappoints. Even have pool tables and beer which makes it even better. Hands down the best hookah spot in the valley. No questions. read more

The place is nice good music not that good hookah mixing service wasn't that great good thing about this place is military discount

When I found out about this place I was real excited. The first time I went in, only one person working, but the hookah took literally 30 minutes, but the place was beautiful so ignored that fact. Second time went in, again, one person working, and hookah took way longer than 30 minutes. Told the front desk guy, then he brought it out. After we got the hookah, OH MY GOODNESS, worse hookah EVER. Nothing came out, asked the guy if he could put an extra coal and he was so hesitant that he never came to us! Bad hookah. Horrible service. Never again will we come. I should have listened to my friends who told me not to come here. They were right! read more

This seems like a really cool place to hang out because of the decor. My friend and I went down to check the place out and didn't even make it to the door before turning around and leaving. The music was blaring. You could feel the bass from outside. I can understand if it was a nightclub, but I don't go to listen to blaring music. I wanna be able to sit back, relax, talk with my friends and enjoy the night; not have to talk over the music and not be able to hear anyone speak. I understand that this was a Friday night and I probably should have come on a weekday, but still. The music didn't have to be that loud. read more

They assumed I was drunk because of how I sat down. I feel like I was singled out and prejudiced against because of the way I held myself. I will never go here again and recommend others do the same. read more

James and Paul make sure everyone is doing good and hookahis just right! Tea is also just right read more

One star because the hooka was good but place was harassing me and my friends didn't leave us alone were watching us the whole time shitty music not as chill of a vibe as we were expecting staff made the experience uncomfortable read more
