Gorgeous!
Kathleen M.

First time in. Tried the wings and humas! Both were excellent!! Humas had such a creamy texture and the wings extra crispy!

Fraud and malpractice

Super terrible service, AND we asked for happy hour shots of vodka (well) and they gave us Tito's which were $20/shot. $240 tab - 5 shots and 1 mixed drink, auto 20%. Talked to the owner and he said "that's how it is around here". Insane. We specifically came here for happy hour and let it be known, he hustled us. Go around the corner. We at more fun

good for old ladies too!! brought my mom and grandma. hookah almost blew my granny's wig off her head

Decided to give i-Mad a shot on a weekday based on the hookah hype. The atmosphere was decent, with a good mix of people. The hookah itself was enjoyable - smooth smoke and a decent flavor selection. A good spot to chill and unwind with friends if you're in the mood for hookah. Would consider coming back to try other flavors.

So while I was visiting from Los Angeles, my friend insisted that we come to this place for hookah and drinks. The atmosphere was quite pleasant. The beverages were excellent. however, a bit on the sweeter side, so I would recommend adding an extra shot of your favorite poison. Although the hookah was satisfactory, the music created a very relaxed vibe which made me feel sleepy. I inquired with a few staff members about the possibility of changing the music and they indicated that they would personally consult the owner. It took some time, but eventually the music improved. The ambiance became more enjoyable. I couldn't comprehend why the two employees I approached were hesitant to let me talk to the owner myself. Therefore, in the end, I introduced myself to the owner, expressed gratitude for the music change, and let him know how much I had enjoyed his establishment. To my surprise, he turned out to be exceptionally kind, and I wouldn't have discovered this if I hadn't taken the initiative to introduce myself as the other employees feared.

Just stopped in here for a quick drink. It's got a nice ambiance, it's a hookah bar as well as restaurant. I didn't try the food but my drink, crown and sprite was made quick and they had a lot of hookahs available to use

It's US at I-Mad

EXCELLENT! My first time in Scottsdale- a friend whom lived there for years recommended I-Mad so our first night in town, we hit up I-Mad. Sydney was who we first encountered downstairs at the bar and she was nothing short of fantastic. Personable, friendly, happy- we loved her. We soon met Imad and couldnt be happier. Such a nice guy! Welcoming, hospitable and truly friendly! We had a blast upstairs out in the open air down in Old Town. Great drinks, food, atmosphere and location 10 outta 10! we will certainly be back. Thank you Imad, it was a absolute pleasure to meet you

Has this place re-opened? Is hookah still available?

Yes, thank you!!

Is this place still open?

We still close because of Covid but hopefully we’ll reopen soon!

Hello we are here in Phoenix until tomorrow. do we need to make reservations for Saturday night?

Nope have a great time. Sit outside on the second floor. See Carly if she is working.

Is there a cover charge? Is it only after a certain time? For example if I go for dinner and then stay for shisha will I be expected to pay cover on top? Thanks.

No cover.

On a Saturday evening, I was unexpectedly looking for a hookah spot so I hopped on the trusty Yelp…read moreapp. It had been at least a year and a half since I last smoked hookah, so this is a rare occasion for me. Axis Hookah Lounge was the closest one to where I was, and the reviews were solid, so I made my way over. They're located in a shopping center along with several other businesses including a Latin club. Parking wasn't an issue. Ambiance (4/5): While it doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside is pretty nice. There is plenty of seating, mostly comfortable red couches. Which makes for a nice way to kick back and relax. There are also some tables if you'd prefer that instead. The seating is spaced out well enough where you have a little bit of privacy. And they were also playing music while I was there. Service (3.5/5): Pretty much your standard service. We were greeted upon entering, allowed to pick our seats, we ordered promptly, and the waiter brought our hookah to us. I had to proactively order drinks and close out, but overall, the service was fine. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior, so no food for me. I did notice they have crepes, but I'm not sure if they have more than that. Drinks (3/5): I had a Gatorade. They have various cans and bottles including water, La Croix, Coke, pineapple juice, and various other soft drinks and juices. No alcohol here. Which isn't uncommon as many hookah spots are Middle Eastern. Some hookah spots have alcohol and some don't. I prefer spots that do. Now to what's most important, the hookah. Pretty much your standard options. They have a good number of their own creations or you can create your own mixing fruit flavors, mint, etc. We went with one of the creations and hung around for about an hour or so. The price of the hookah was reasonable. I'd return.

That's why we kept coming back, we visited over 20 times because we genuinely liked the place. Unfortunately, over time the experience changed. As the staff changed, so did the level of customer service. The consistency just wasn't there. Some visits were enjoyable, while others felt disorganized, and the staff sometimes came across as argumentative rather than customer-focused. The visit that ended it for us involved a new server who insisted we leave a credit card to keep on file. In more than 20 previous visits, we had never once been asked to do that. We politely explained that this had never been the policy during any of our prior visits and declined. After that conversation, the server essentially stopped serving us. She ignored our table, relied on other employees to assist us, and even made us wait to pay because she refused to help. It made us feel unwelcome and as though our business no longer mattered. We understand that businesses can update their policies, but those changes should be communicated respectfully and enforced consistently. If the policy had truly changed, a simple explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, we were treated differently because we asked questions. It's unfortunate because we really enjoyed this place in the beginning. However, one negative experience can outweigh many positive ones, especially when it leaves you feeling unwelcome. We won't be returning, and we hope management takes customer service and consistency seriously so future guests have a better experience.

Last night when I arrived I asked for sparking water and lime, he came back and said we don't have sparkling water. I said ok bring me club soda, he said ok and brought me back regular water. I said Sir, I asked for club soda with lime, he said ok and came back and said we don't have lime. I said ok bring me the club soda, that took 10 mins for whatever reason. I also ordered a hookah and it took 36 mins to come out I know that was the exact time because I was on the phone when I ordered it. He brought the hookah out and one o his friends that he has not seen in a long time came in so he was talking to him with my hookah in his hand instead of bringing it to me. I had to get up and ask him if that was my hookah and he said yes and I said can I have it? He said oh yes. Very unprofessional. He didn't check on the table but once and we were there for 2.5 hours. Our tab came out to $400 for a 2 Greek salad bowls, 2 orders of shrimp, 2 hookah's, and 4 drinks. While the bill was high, that's not why I am upset but for the prices you are charging everything should be excellent. The service was less than par, the salad had very little dressing and when we asked for more he tried to take the bowl of salad instead of bringing us a cup so we could pour our own. The hookah coals were old and heated very quickly and we had to beg for more coals. The ambiance was good it's a very quiet place and plenty of seating but everything else is terrible. Do not waste your time or money with this place.

ANYWAY, another friend wanted to try WS for her birthday. I like to preview menus and look at reviews before I go out anymore. As I went through the process for this gathering I began to get the feeling that I'd been to WS before. When I arrived I realized that I had and the 1st experience was not a good one. This experience WAS NOT an improvement, even AFTER the Grand Reopening!!! Here's just a few points: -- The waiter didn't know the menu. He couldn't answer simply questions like what is on the loaded fries - The waiter took the men's orders before he took the ladies orders - Pay before you get your order - 15% gratuity included - Took/submitted orders individually instead of at same time so the orders would come out at the same time. They sat there and watched each other eat their whole meal before the next persons order was delivered - The waiter asked us if we wanted to play Connect 4 or Uno "while we waited", NOT a good sign. - I was the last person to get their order. At this point I'm over it all. It took 44:52 minutes for me to get my order. I told the waiter to just put it in a to go container and I left. The birthday girls fries were overcooked and the salmon was not seasoned at all despite the name and claims of the establishment. Oh...I forgot to mention that the food is overpriced. I paid $23.01 for the 6-piece wing and fries. I could get a whole party bag of wings from Costco(which is probably what they do) for that!!! I'm posting this to warn people AND remind myself not to go back.
