Abdul was top notch, he's one of a kind and fresh service by the way the Russian hookah bottles are smooth. I would recommend anyone to check Havana Hookah Lounge, by the way it's changing for better and great atmosphere and ambiance. read more

Havana Hookah Lounge - Really chill spot. Stopped here to pass some time from the Chicago traffic Friendly staff! Hookahs flavors are A1 ! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Norridge, Illinois

Great location to chill for a short period of time, I'm giving only 4 stars because they only give you 2 hours to smoke your hookah then you're required to pay for a refill. I've been to many lounges, and they let you enjoy one fill for more than 2 hours. Overall though I'd consider coming again. Also unless you're okay paying 7$ a person to BYOB, it's not worth it to drink there. read more

Awesome place! Staff is very attentive.. I definitely would come back'. Hookah was on point and affordable!

Pros : 1. A huge variety of hookah flavours ranging from $13-$17 2. Many TVs, you can take charge of the remote 3. Young girl working in there, very attentive and friendly. 4. Nice clean place, good sofas, great ambience (went on saturday evening) Cons : 1. No booze, not even BYOB allowed. They do not have license. 2. Could work on their drinks menu, but if you're just looking for a place with variety of sisha, a nice hot cup of green tea is only $2. read more

Havana Hookah Lounge - My Kiwi Strawberry sisha - Hookah Bars Near Me - Norridge, Illinois

This place is pretty cool. We came in yesterday night and it was not too busy. The girl that took care of was very nice and attentive. Great customer service. The hookah experience was very interesting. I'm not a smoker but this was something I would do once in a while. They have few different flavors. We had some snacks but it seemed people don't really eat here much. Our fries were not cooked completely but ok. Otherwise the cheese sticks were supper good. Their strawberry smoothie was pretty good as well the coffee too. read more

What a great experience! You first enter into a smoke shops and then you go through into the actual lounge. Both are kept in great condition and easy to navigate! The smoke shop has everything a hookah smoker along with vape enthusiast would need. The hookah was phenomenal and they offer some food (I didn't get any) along with the common drinks. The hookah pulled amazing and was extremely well made! The people around us were friendly and we ended up staying a lot later than we intended to because of that! They have multiple TVs that you can change and watch whatever you want. In total, I walked in with an expectation of getting a decent hookah in Chicago and walked out with one of the best lounge experiences I have ever had. If you are ever in question of what lounge to go to, I recommend this one! read more

I've been here many times, the hookah is always packed well, the ambiance is nice...the music is not too loud and the lights are not too flashy. You can watch anything on TV, they will give you a remote so you can change the channel yourself. One star short of 5 stars because they close early (12am) for a hookah lounge. read more

So we wanted to try something different and arrived around 10pm. We walked in and there were 7 teenagers laughing and talking with their friend who was "working" possibly at the register. He (the "working" employee) didn't acknowledge us but we proceeded towards the back where we could see a sitting area. Not the best first impression! Once we sat down, the service was phenomenal. The young lady explained the menu, asked us if we wanted anything to drink and made recommendations based on our taste. She asked us several questions. She promptly brought us our drinks and hookah. The second young lady checked in with us as did the first. What great service. Complaint- the "worker" from the front register interrupted our server to say he was sitting a group of guests. Why didn't he sit us? And then why interrupt our service? Rude man! Luckily our server gracefully handled the situation. The preferred group this man sat down was a group of teen friends of his. Please- if the owner reads this - seriously have a discussion about this. Nice date spot for something different. Cheerful pleasant and attentive servers. Mostly mature crowd but some teens. Those teen friends he sat down were discussing how they could leave without paying the bill. We had a relaxing time overall. If you are coming in for hookah - spend and tip - geeze tip! read more

The girlfriend and I arrived a bit late, around 11PM. So we were only able to stay leas than an hour. The service and was mediocre. There were two girls working this night but one was doing all the work while the other mingled with friends. When the girl first came up to see what we'd like she mentioned a discount if we wrote a good review on Yelp, soooo... The reviews here may be a hit skewed. We ordered smoothies which were pretty good ( strawberry banana). It took a good 15 minutes for the server/waitress to bring our hookah which I believed to be a bit long. She did however apologize for the delay. We saw she was pretty busy anyway since she was the only one actually working. Im not sure that I'd go back. The service needs improvement and I didn't really enjoy paying $24 for 30 minutes of hookah and 2 medium sized fruit smoothies. read more

Just had a visit here. The place is located in a strip mall that seems to be pretty popular and is well lit. The neighborhood also seems pretty nice. My buddy ordered the mozzarella sticks and they were awesome. The waitress was friendly and attentive, answering any questions that we had. The hookah selection was pretty different with choices from pretty well known brands (Al Farkhar, Starbuzz, and Fumari) as well as some house flavors. The only complaint I have is that unless you ask otherwise they use quick lights which skews the flavor of the shisha. Otherwise it was awesome. read more

definitely an awesome and relaxing place to come and smoke with a group or even alone! super friendly workers and the owner is extremely kind! the prices are very very reasonable and everything smokes and tastes great! ALSO- tuesday's-thursday is ladies night which mean $10 hookah for the ladies ! read more

April 26, 2013 - Friday 8:30PM Since my friend never tried hookah before, we decided to go out and smoke hookah. We went to Hubble Hookah but the place was fully booked as the employee guy with glasses said. However, we saw some empty tables. Hmmm. Whatever. So, we left Hubble Hookah with disappointment. Note: I passed by Havana Hookah few times before but never had the chance to bring a friend to smoke hookah with me. Luckily, we're both out to smoke hookah and went to Havana Hookah. 9:00pm As we arrive, they have a welcoming purple light "Havana Hookah" sign. We walked in and noticed a shop upfront (selling tobacco and tobacco related products). Cool looking chubby guy with glasses smoking cigar welcomed us. "Hookah for two" we said. Then, he directed us to the back and a lady came to help us to be seated. Chill atmosphere and comfortable seating. We were there until almost closing (midnight). Me and my friend had a good time. Havana Hookah left a great impression on both of us. Friendly staff. Ambiance is nice. Me and my friend will come back here for sure. read more

the hookah was good but its to tight and too crowded. I swear the belly dancer had it in for me. She kept hitting me in the head with her fans or scarfs or what ever she had in her hand any given time. I also don't like that you have to try to squeeze you way in and our of this place. I had such high hopes but the price, atmosphere and the belly dancer just killed it for me. read more

Easily one of the worst experiences at a hookah bar. Service is absolutely horrible. We asked for a menu and it took the waitress about a half hour to come back and ask if we wanted to order something. Because maybe it's normal to just admire the menu or something? Then there's this confusing bull about how each person has to buy something that is $5 and up? So basically, two people can't share a hookah because they each don't spend $5. Is this making sense to anyone? Oh, and that finger food I can find in my fridge. And you don't have to tip them, because they take money out of the change you get back after you pay the bill. Rude. read more

Good atmosphere, selection and price. Wish they served alcohol though. Some of the couches are a little too worn down.

This cozy hookah joint is filled with fun, friendly people and has a belly dance show EVERY Thursday at 10 PM. Many hookah flavors to choose from, and they are only 5 or 10 dollars, and it's BYOB if you're old enough. Wifi, TVs, good music...really great place to hang out. read more

My favorite place to go chill ...my hookah is always made great...staff is super friendly!! Super clean...always a great time!

This spots in a strip mall and its pretty low key. You walk in and all you see is a simple tobacco store. But if you keep walking theres a nice setup of some couches tables and tvs for a hookah lounge. The hookah is pretty solid and its at a pretty good price compared to a lot of the spots out there now. Apparently there belly dancers here at night. But as a avid hookah smoke if theres good vibes and the hookah is clean and smokes well your ok in my book. This place does a decent job with that. read more

Great hookah, fast service, very comfortable hookah lounge. - what else to look for ? Need to come !

Good flavor! Great service! Decent ambience. One sore point was min 5$ order per person. At a hookah joint you don't usually buy a hookah each. That apart would recommend this place. read more

This place isn't byob, like other reviews said it was. I've been there other times to buy a hookah and staff was helpful

Great place to smoke some Hookah and just chill out and watch a game. Really friendly staff and always willing to make a great suggestion.

Great atmosphere, a little dark in terms of lighting. Comfy couches. TVs available and sometimes music depending on time of day. Hookah prep is good, given extra coals, good service. Food options are available. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Probably best hookah bar around ohare airport area. The service and hookah are great. Plus the hookahs starts at $10. The hookahs are gewat and if you have a problem with them they fix the problem right away to a point that they will change the hookah for you if the problem is still there.. The owner is a nice guy as well. They also sell hookahs and supplies and cigarettes there as well. The reason I took out a star is because the drinks are too expensive and they close at 12. But overall a great place.. read more

The hookah wasn't bad, but it burned very quickly. The menu is extremely skimpy, there were about 10-15 flavored to choose from, which sucked. The server/hostess was busy flirting with some guy at the counter most of the time, so I didn't get very good service. On top of that, she brought out my tea with the $00.20 tea bag still in it. If you're going to use tea bags, take the damn thing out before serving it. The server was the farthest thing from friendly. The owner is very nice, the guy who works in the front where they sell retail is very nice, and I'll continue buying tobacco here because the pricing isn't horrible. Never again will I smoke here though, and if you love hookah the way I do, you shouldn't either. read more

Great place! The staff is AWESOME, atmosphere is welcoming, hookahs are good, BYOB, finger foods available, music is loud enough to hear but not so loud that you have to yell, What else can you ask for! I was sold! Check it out.. read more

I've been to several hookah bars before and I started going to this one in August of 2011 and it is my favorite by far. I went there so much i even work there now. The staff(including myself) is always friendly and we make sure to tend to our customers. The hookahs are larger than the ones most hookah bars use and we have a great variety of shisha and flavors. Starbuzz and Fantansia tend to be the most popular. They are both great tasting shishas that produce amazing smoke and amazing flavor. However, I am in love with the Hookafina brand which has a whole .5% nicotine instead of .05%. There are also cheaper shishas available such as Al Fakher,Hookah-Hookah, and Cuzzins. So you will be sure to find a shisha that you like at Havana Hookah. The environment is also great as well. There are cozy couches and a bed to lay on. The music is always changing so you don't hear the same thing over and over again, and we make sure to keep the music at a decent level so you don't have to yell over it and are capable of hearing the tv. As for food, we offer basic things like french fries, chicken tenders, and mozarella sticks and we have many,many drinks to choose from. So please come on in and give it a try, especially on Sundays when the Bears are playing and hopefully winning. I promise you won't regret it. read more

I love this place! The strawberry milk shake is the best! I absolutely love Mae and she is super sweet! This is my go to spot for whenever I have the craving for hookah. The only thing is I wish this place would stay open later. read more

Nice place to relax for some nice hookah. Usually the best time to go is during the daytime where there aren't many customers to get a fast well prepared hookah read more

Best hookah bar in the area! Chill atmosphere there and awesome seating! The ice hose is worth a try for a smooth smoke, the service and drinks are great. The charcoal here could improve sometimes charcoal doesn't last long or hard to smoke but still a cool spot in back of a smoke shop! read more

Great atmosphere, awesome hookah, good vibes. I recommend this place if you are looking for a good hookah spot on the south side

Horrible waitresses. I felt like a number. Since my group was small and did not want anything except a hookah and tea, the server felt we weren't as important. The one with crazy hair seemed annoyed and the other did not even care. The table was dirty and the glass was dirty. read more
