Nice place for Hookah..! Decor is really lovely and the Service was pretty good as well. Food options are decent but they are prepared by the Indian Restaurant (Aroma) next door, and taste was just average. read more

It took us abt 5 mins to be seated & took at least 15 min for the food to be served after we ordered. We got Lychee & Mango Mojito. Both were good. We also got wings with Spicy Buffalo sauce & ranch. The wings were good altho a bit too crispy for my taste. The spicy sauce wasn't actually spicy. Didn't try the chicken salad so cant really say anything abt it. The ribeye steak was so damn good; so tender & juicy. The gravy was amazing as well. I'd go back just for the steak. I got a burger with 3 Initials, cant really remember the name, BPN or something. The burger was great except it's not for everyone. It contains blue cheese which is pretty fermented & pungent so if you dont like pungent cheese, stay away from it. It came with waffle fries which were crispy. This is the 3rd time I ordered the Rosh Malai Tres Leches & I must say that I'm pretty disappointed this time. It was kinda sour this time. It tasted pretty fermented, which is not how Rosh Malai should taste. It shouldnt taste like sour yogurt. We all loved the plain Tres Leches though. read more

The strawberry milkshake was so good. Very refreshing and thick. Loved it. The vibe is great. Hookah is fantastic: smooth and easy to take in. Just be aware the music is extremely loud here so it's hard to have a conversation. Bring earplugs to muffle the sound a bit. They have games so you can play while you smoke. Hearing each other will be difficult. Mera's Tip: get a shake read more

I really wanted to try this place and I called tp ask of they still have hookah. The guy on the phone just said we do and didn't bother to tell me there was absolutely no food or anything. Not a soul was in there and even though I wanted to try the food, I won't be back. read more

I've never left a review before but this certainly deserves it. TLDR: They put things on the menu that you don't actually get and leave prices off the menu that you will get charged for. Cold, cramped, and my friend saw people in the kitchen handling things and not wearing masks. Curly fries were good. Masala cheese fries had maybe two lines of cheese but tasted good. Shisha We ordered the Paan masala and strawberry margarita ones. They were okay but we have had much better. The issue arose with having to pay extra for the disposable pipes in addition to the actual shisha which was not mentioned on the menu. Are we expected to puff straight from the shisha stand? With all due disrespect, you're scummy for leaving us with no choice but to pay. When we asked the waitress about it, she said "Ohh sorryy that's just because we can't use the regular pipes now." SO UPDATE YOUR MENU. Don't tell us after we get the hookah and when you give us the receipt. PLUS, she was also about to charge us for another disposable pipe because the one they originally put in fell on the floor. Classy. Freak Shake I ordered the Red Velvet Oreo Freak Shake which according to the menu was supposed to include a red velvet donut, chocolate drizzle and white chocolate drops. Let me just say how "happy" I was to NOT see any of those toppings that I expected to receive on the shake they gave me and still get charged the full price of $13. Really? I only ordered the shake because they apparently ran out of their cakes yesterday which is why we came here. The shake itself tasted good- more milk than shake but it was aight. Just so you know, there IS a discount for leaving a review which is likely the only reason you see a good review. It was so cold in there and we asked to be reseated somewhere near a heater and she squished us in a tiny corner which yes, was heated. Intermittently. read more

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. The staff were very nice! They were attentive, fun, played music requests and all. My only dislike was the food. I'm sorry but everything that was order was fried hard or extremely salty. The presentation of the sweets were very nice though. If you want to go for hookah then sure, but def not for food. read more

It was a lot of items missing in the menu, I really don't know why they just don't make a QR menu, that they can actually update daily with what they do have. The food was really good. (Butterfly shrimp and the masala cheese fries). We tried The Nutella cosmic crepe cake, and just as the menu says "it was addictive". Really good. Our 1st hookah was the Mango Paradise; We personally didn't like the after taste of it. Our 2nd hookah was the White Mint, this one really make it up for us. But by far the best of the night was the Mocktails, we had 4 of them; Cherry cola blast, Black currant lemonade, Lychitini and the Jalapeño Margarita. I almost give them a 4 star, but the food and the hookahs take a little to long, (it wasn't even busy). read more

Visited this location recently (during COVID) to celebrate with a friend on a Saturday Night. We arrived and were abruptly seated. A plus because it was a nice crowd inside and not many employees from what we could see. We ordered Lychee Martini's aka "sweet juice"; they do NOT serve liquor as many previous reviews have mentioned. However their drinks and milkshakes are craft style and extremely tasty. The hookah here is strong but has excellent flavor, we ordered the white peach flavor mixed with mango. Also we ordered mango juice instead of water inside the hookah which added an extra amount of fruity flavor with each pull that we loved! The waitress was very busy however still anticipated our needs and came to check on us frequently. She fixed our hookah for us because whew it was far too strong for our baby lungs and it was perfect. I wish we didn't eat before coming here because OMG allll of the food looked amazing. Everyone around us was ordering food and everything looked so good. Definitely check this place out but come with an appetite! We plan to return! read more

The service was the best we have received in all of New York. We went to several places while traveling and it does not compare to sugar and coal! They are top notch with the level of service they were able to provide. The server asked us what we liked and made us a special blend based on the types of flavors we preferred. The mock tails were really good too! The atmosphere is chill and like a lounge should feel. We were able to after a long day Im the city. Thank you !!! read more

I wasn't expecting much when I walked into Sugar N Coals Woodside location, mostly because their Rego Park location was disappointing in every aspect. However, to my surprise, this location was completely different. HOOKAH: I usually only smoke hookah that has Paan in it, but decided to try Green Lantern on my visit because it was recommended by one of the servers. The flavor was good, the pull was thick and it lasted a good while so I would definitely recommend it. DRINKS: Got the Sugarcane Colada because I had tried it in the other location and loved it, however the taste was quite displeasing here. When I complained about it, the server had told us they were missing ingredients to make the drink as it is supposed to be made. So it was weird to me that they even served it to us, however they were nice enough to give us a complimentary Strawberry Mojito which was amazing! FOOD: For food, we tried some apps. Got the Wings w/threefold sauce and Curly Masala Fries w/cheese. Definitely recommend both, they were delicious! DESSERT: For dessert we tried the Nutella Cheesecake Crepe, which was to die for. And the Strawberry Shortcake Waffles, which were ONLY aesthetically pleasing. The waffles were soggy and tasted nothing like Strawberry shortcake. The service was great and the servers were nice and friendly. The interior of the hookah lounge is also beautiful. All in all, I'd definitely return to this spot and recommend it to you all. read more

Although the service was great, the food was definitely subpar. We ordered general Spanish entrees at quite a steep price and it did not taste well seasoned or fresh. I would recommend other restaurants in the area over this one unfortunately. It is a shame because the decor was quite nice and it is quite spacious. read more

They only serve "mocktails" you are lead on that they are alcoholic with names such as "mocktail". They had no food and it was Friday night. The kitchen was under renovation which was awkward. Nice prices the vibe was okay. read more

Sugar n Coal really delivers delicious dessert & quality hookah! I've been a regular at their first location on Woodhaven Blvd & it's nice to see their expansion. This place is conveniently located near the train station, 2 minutes away from 65th Street on the M/R. The hookah was perfect! We got Ice Ice Baby which lasted about 2 hours. The coals were changed frequently and the flavor didn't burn the entire time. The shisha box is extra but allowed for more smoke without being harsh. I recommend getting it for beginners! The rose teapot was so flavorful and full of spices without being overpowering. It was sweet and had floral petals inside, enough for 4 people. All of the desserts here are amazing, I've had them at the other location and my favorite is the tres leches cake. Overall the whole experience was nice and I would definitely come back! read more

There are actually two locations the one on Broadway only serves virgin drinks; so we left and went to the Woodhaven location. The music is really up our alley way with a variation of hip hop, up to date reggae, soca, bachata, and pop. The hookah selection is vast but we hat the white peach very smooth. Price wise I was happy with the selection. The Lamp is to die for as I tried it pair with fried. The butterfly shrimp can use more coconut but maybe the coconut from the mojito drowned the taste. The wings themselves are out of this world and I love wings. read more

So we have been here a couple of times, I always loved coming here but we won't come here as long as the manager is there (woodside location). We sat outside and it was fully empty and mind you they told us that no one is sitting outside because of the rain. Anywho it was pretty chilly so our group of friends decided to sit near the heater. We joined the table by ourselves since there was no one. We ordered hookah while sitting on that table, after good 20 minutes, the manager came and instead of saying nicely, that you guys are not allowed to fix tables by yourselves, he was pretty rude about it. We were just being nice and smiling. Of course, we moved to a different seating area! The waiter came and took the order but said nothing. Why didn't they tell us anything, when they took the order? In the end, when we were leaving we wanted to give him feedback and he seemed very defensive and kind of loud and rude. He could simply say sorry for the miscommunication. But instead, he walked away from us. I am shocked because this kind of behavior is not acceptable in any restaurants and cafes. The situation could have been handled differently altogether. Huge miscommunication amongst their staff members! Sadly he simply lacks communication skills. read more

Should be 'sugar and salt' 2nd time went here, first time was freezing and this time the Chai had tons of sugar if I was a diabetic I would have died than came the curly fries which was too salty and than we asked ourselves if the sugar and salt was freely distributed in the market. I asked the server if the chef was okay in the kitchen and asked him to try the fries and he was hesitant(of course he didn't try) and than I asked for water and he forgot leaving me with that salty killing taste... no offense the workers are nice but they are short staffed for such a big place. read more

While this establishment is alcohol free, the food and hookah are beyond belief. The hookah was so smooth and I never once felt a sting in my throat that I typically feel from other hookah lounges. I got the sex on the beach flavor and all of my friends enjoyed it. As for the food, my snack wrap was so delicious and give onion rings had a good amount of crunch to them. The food is a 10/10 and the hookah is to die for. I'd go back again, but I want to drink before I go in. read more

Ok so they don't serve alcohol. Lets just put that out there. -The mocktails were good I had a sugar cane colada & I loved it. - The Hookah was ok. -The music/vibe wasn't that great. -You absolutely need reservations. -Pricing is decent we paid ($95 for 4 people with food, hookah & "drinks" ) -I wouldn't recommend the bbq wings -Shrimp for tacos were salty af -Parking can be a bit of a headache We went to the woodhaven location read more

Really good food! I can't believe how good it was. It was just so good. I'm coming back again!

Came here last minute with some friends, looking for something good to eat. I can honestly say the ambiance was beautiful, the food and drinks were delicious !! Amazing! They don't serve liquor but the Mocktails were soo good we didn't mind. And complements to the chef everyone really enjoyed dinner, we actually all eat off of eachothers plates. Of course we also got dessert and hookah, we ended up sitting in the enclosed back yard, they had heaters and it was very spaced out. We'll definitely be returning. read more

First time visiting this establishment. I absolutely loved it! The environment was chill and welcoming. Music was not blasted to the point you couldn't have a conversation. The prices for the food items were great ( all items under $30). The hookahs ranged from $25-$35 which is pretty good. Once my friend and I got the bill, we noticed that the refill we got was only $10. Definitely recommend this establishment. read more

The food was all served cold. Had calamari as appetizers COLD. For Entree, I had the mole poblano short rib. It was cold. The mole was salty, the rice undercooked and crunchy. The short rib was totally dried out. It was more like short rib jerky. It was totally disgusting. My partner ordered the shrimp burrito, which was also cold. It was drizzled with sauce, which made it impossible to eat with your hand without getting it all over your hands. When she tried to eat with it with a fork, it fell apart. It took 40 minutes for the appetizers to be brought out. There were only 2 tables occupied at the time. Be forewarned, the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The only reason it got a star was that the drinks were pleasant. We had a passion fruit mojito and a hibiscus lemonade read more

Muy mala comida y cobran de más, ponen la cantidad que les da la gana pir servicio es una estafa

Closest Hookah Lounge that just opened up in Woodside, am a Elmhurst native so had to give it a shot with my hot date, who is new to the area. The inside decor is very esthetically welcoming. Our server, Amir was attentive & suggested us the Mango Lassi Hookah, tbh didn't quite fit the bill. But on a brighter note, my girl ordered the Red Velvet & Oreo Milkshake, which was a Homerun . I got the Masala chai was very nicely presented & tasted great. Towards the end we got the Spicy Masala Waffle Fries, which had a nice surprising kick to it. Overall here's the meltdown. Decor: 5/5 Hookah: 3/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5(Kudos to Amir) Overall: 17/20= Worth my Recommendation ( Owned & Operated) #supportyournatives #bangladesh #hookah #food read more

Woodside's new hangout spot! Sugar N Coal offers a wide variety of specialty mocktail drinks, apps, and of course...dessert. Yes, come for the hookah...but stay for the dessert!! My favorites are the hibiscus pear margarita and the bananas foster waffle. The Cajun fries and burger are also really good. Apart from the food, the vibes here are super chill. Music is always on point, decor is beautiful, and the presentation of everything they serve is key for why I feel this place is set apart from the rest. Also, you "check in" they give you 10% off the bill. Win win. Definitely recommend!! read more
