They don't have a bar but you're allowed to BYOB. They provided us with cups with ice and even gave us a water bottle. They had a DJ and he was playing all the right songs to go with the chill vibes. Definitely adding this place to my rotation of favorite places to hangout with friends.

I was here on a Friday night and was cover charged 10$ each. They said there would be a DJ starting at 10 and yet nobody there till 10:30 and we left. They don't change coals on your hookah and have to buy a whole refill for hookah. The sofas, ambience are terrible and I'd never go back to the same place again

My cousin and I stopped in around 8p since we are big hookah smokers and were in the area...we were told the party doesn't really get started till later in the evening but we weren't looking to party that night. The prices are the cheapest in CT for sure. We got the Jack Sparrow flavor in a fruit bowl and it was BEYOND amazing! It didn't get harsh and we were able to enjoy it for over an hour. The staff there was super attentive changing out the coals and clear out the bowl regularly which we were pleasantly surprised by. I'm definitely returning again and 100% looking forward to checking it out when the party really flowing.

I'm gonna be honest, the lights and decor is nice but the hookah isn't good at all. the flavors…read morearen't great either. the music is the same stuff and terrible. when you do hookah you don't listen to rap...it's a quality moment and hookah makes you relaxed. they should start playing relaxing music. I'm telling you, the music is terrible, it just kills your whole mood. RELAXING MUSIC IS WHAT YOU NEED. It may be 18+ but when you walk in it's obnoxious in there. go to any hookah bar but here. unless you wanna be in high school all over again.

Many flavors and add ons to choose from, like ice pipes and coconut charcoal. The beverages were just alcohol with the choice of juice, such as lemon, cranberry, pineapple, or orange. The drinks came out in red solo cups and it was oddly nostalgic. It felt like we were at a house party with good music and basic mixed drinks. They were a bit expensive for the quality and presentation. There was only one server, so at times it was difficult to flag him down, but he was very friendly.

I attempted to request a song from the DJ and he said that I needed to PAY for a song request! I have never been to a bar or lounge where the DJ is requesting money in order to play a particular song he could've politely declined, but instead asking for money. I'd rather return on a Thursday when the DJ is polite, friendly and feeds off of the crowd.

This is to hookah what Taco Bueno is to fine Mexican dining. I visited on a Saturday night and we…read morepromptly decided to go elsewhere. For starters, the two-people-per-hookah policy is obnoxious. I get the trade-offs here and why the business has to do it, and more and more hookah bars are adopting similar policies. But when you're telling me if I've spent $50 on 2 hookahs for 4 people and one more friend shows up, our tab is now $75, I really don't appreciate that. I get that most customers are younger and would smoke 10 people on 1 hookah if given the chance, but you've got to have a middle ground. 5 people wanting to share 2 hookahs is not taking advantage. Then comes price: I'm from Texas where tobacco taxes are sky-high and businesses have about $20,000 of prep work to do for special tobacco-oriented zoning, and you still don't see prices this high. $25 for a bowl is obscene, especially with the aforementioned policy. Then comes the atmosphere. Loud, cramped, poorly ventilated, dark, and uncomfortable. It may seem novel to novice smokers but is less likely to be enjoyed by a regular hookah bar attendee. I also am not a fan of the pay-when-you-walk-in model. The register is up front and you cash out before you sit down. We made sure to walk into the back and have a look around before doing so, thankfully. Again I do get that their clientele may be a little younger and more stealy than other establishments, but it does not make for a friendly or inviting experience. There are myriad websites that will sell you an entire hookah package including pipe, tobacco and coals for the same price as a single 5-person smoke session here. I know he's got some overhead but a single bowl of this stuff pays for a whole box of the stuff you're actually smoking. Save your money.

This place has the total potential to be a 5 star lounge, but here are the pros, cons and…read moresuggestions to gain the extra 2 stars. Pros: Hookah: -good flavors (al Fakher and starbuzz) - packed well - small hookah with a lot of smoke - coconara charcoals Seating area: - very spacious - can handle large groups - unique floor seats - custom tables hold hookah and garbage - homey set up with actual couches - very laid back (music tempo maintains atmosphere -smoothie was on point Cons: Hookah: - not maintained regularly (they come every 20-30 mins), so it's not good 5 mins after they fix it Seating area: - the music can be updated - no worker is ever present, making it extremely difficult to order anything (waited 20 mins to order smoothie) - prepaying seems very unwelcoming Suggestions: This place mainly lacks in service. The seating area being unattended is a big disadvantage. Regular maintenance of the hookahs served out would make this place go a long way.

The pita burgers a great and they're filling! We've tried all the protein options, but I think the beef is our favorite because the spices really stand out. I also really like the Ashak which is comprised of dumplings full of spinach and scallions, topped with spiced beef, lentils, and yogurt. The bar feels really open and airy, and bartenders are always friendly and attentive, even when they're busy getting ready for evening service. We frequently go for HH on a Saturday around 5 and it's usually pretty quiet at the bar which we enjoy. Great place whether you've had Afghan food, or you are looking to try something different!

Couches are comfortable and the music was kept to a perfect level that allowed conversation, yet not too low too enjoy. They serve quality brands of tobacco and use the good Egyptian hookahs.

Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.
