The hookah was amazing with some of their own house blends! I was very surprised by that and tried it. It was delicious and smooth.

Highly recommend coming with friends for a nice, relaxing evening!

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.

I HIGHLY recommend this place! This is one of the best Hookah Bars I've ever been to. The vibe is…read moreso chill and relaxed, and they have booths so you can enjoy your privacy. They have personal TV's in the booths with plenty of activities, gaming systems and board games. It is $30 for an unlimited smoke session. The lighting, music, and everything are nostalgic of my teenage years. You can tell that the place is ran by millennials because if I was still a teenager, this would be my teenage dream spot. I can not WAIT to go back. Flavor wise, I tried three. The best one was Red Zeppelin, and then we enjoyed zebra stripe which didn't have much flavor compared to the first one. Lastly, we got panda paw (I think it was called), and I really enjoyed that one. Overall, if I could rate a 10000000/10 I would! This is THE spot.

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.

Visited this establishment for a Friday afternoon happy hour gathering…read more It's a very dark interior with a hint of gold accents of opulence in a shotgun style of a micro luxury bar. Word is the owner is a well know business women. Gotta support the locals. There was one Bartender and a Chef. Flatscreen TV's and the music selection was very R&B. Over time you noticed it's a professional local hangout spot before picking up your kids from school and a tough week at work in the office. Drinks during happy hour averaged $7.00 and the appetizers like the steak egg rolls were worth the wait. You can pay $25.00 for a Hookah Booth with unlimited coals and hookah refills. Would not recommend the late hours from happy hour local advice. The crowd is different and the air quality will be challenging.

This is the real deal when it comes to a Levantine coffeehouse. They have a strong emphiasis on…read morehookah, yes, but that's typical to coffeehouses in the Middle East. They also serve a limited food menu and--impressively--things like sahlab and zhourat shamia tea which you rarely see even in Middle Eastern restaurants in the US. And Turkish coffee which they do make correctly. I don't smoke but felt very welcome. It's mostly local guys sitting around, smoking, playing cards, drinking coffee and gossiping. It seems to have filled the void for this purpose left when the Palms Coffee House shut down. The ambience is about what you'd expect: welcoming, informal, not fancy but more thought into the decoration certainly than at Palms. And they're open late! This is also Levantine tradition--it's a coffeehouse not a coffeeshop. It doesn't close at 3pm like ones in the States do but actually business really picks up around 11pm. That's just how it's done.

I spent my…read moreFriday there and honestly, it's just a great spot to relax, hang out, and enjoy good food and hookah. This is more than just a hookah lounge--it's a true Palestinian café and community space. The hookah is top-notch; I got the double apple and it was smooth the whole time, no harshness or burn-out. Their Turkish coffee is excellent too--strong, flavorful, and perfectly brewed. In the evening, they fire up the charcoal grill and serve fresh, simple food. The menu isn't huge, but it doesn't need to be. It's all about quality. I had the grilled chicken wings with hand-cut fries--real potatoes, not frozen--and everything was fresh and delicious. You can taste the difference. At night, the place comes alive. It gets packed with people playing cards, smoking hookah, drinking tea or coffee, and socializing. It's a wholesome, laid-back spot with a real sense of community, right in the heart of Temple Terrace. And yes--they've got Al Jazeera Arabic on the TV and a couple of cute kittens roaming around. What more do you want? If you're in Tampa and want to support Palestine while enjoying great food and good company, this is the spot. 1948 Cafe has become my go-to every time I'm in town.
