    First off why do I not see a lot of people in the store? This is in between an amazing neighborhood. It's so lively pretty and there are so many restaurants around this area. You would expect a lot of people to be walking around checking out this hookah lounge to see your Friday night without a lot of people in the store, this hookah store has great collection of mixes and they have really nice hookahs. If they were not running any specials on Google and yelp I would not have known about this place. I just ended up going there casually and meeting alam who is the owner of this store he was a gem of a guy with a very good heart. His hospitality blew my mind. He offered me hot tea,, which was free for everyone, a bottle of water free, and he also gave me a free ice hose. I would definitely take a lot of my friends and go there, I encourage all of you to go enjoy this place. This is amazing Hookah launch.

    Called to check if they were opened but no answer. Came at 2:45 and it's closed. They need to update their hours :) Actually that is your menu from 2018!

    Great music, good people and awesome hookah. Flavors of the hookah didn't fade away at all. Best hookah spot around. Thank you Alam.

    It's hookah time! Come and relax at this lounge. I got a pineapple attached with my hookah.

    When you ask them for new coals... You get one and they make you reuse your old worn down ones... TERRIBLE!

    When you mix House Flavors, it'll be $20 even though both flavors are under the $15 range... What a joke. We also ask for another mint recommendation and the guy said "Double Apple with mint"... it literally tasted like licorice - so gross. I'm not sure how that is a popular flavor. But because the way they take your order is so fast, my friends and I rushed on ordering. BIG MISTAKE. The manager (it seems like) told us since we had 3 ppl we have to get 2 hookahs which is fine. But again, because of how quick they make you order, we missed the top where it says something along the lines of "one hookah for every 2 people or it'll be an additional $5 per person". So we were fooled and paid $40+ for 2 hookahs when we could have done 1 hookah amongst 3 ppl and paid $25+. Jesus. Also, not sure if it is because we had a smaller group, but I felt like we were being neglected in terms of customer service. We asked for coals and I saw the lady walk around to every other table to give them coals and by the time she walked to us - she ran out. Which is understandable... But it becomes NOT understandable when that happens TWICE. So she finally comes around to my group and gives us ONE new coal for the two hookahs we had and puts back on our old/ small coals... Our hookahs weren't even hitting hard because it wasn't hot enough. I wouldn't come back here if I was in the area. Being treated bad customer service and being kind of tricked in the beginning on what to buy - not cool.

    Love This cool place.  Alam gave great service also he upgrade the hookah. High recommend people come to this place.

    Great music. Dope vibes. Affordable hookah. Definitely a great time! Environment is super lax and it's just easy to have a good time. I recommend! Plus there is late night food available On the same street so you can't go wrong!

    Stopped by with a little over one hour between flights on a Thursday mid morning (Memorial Day…read moreweekend). I landed into terminal F and walked ~10m to get to Terminal B. The line was okayish (see photo). Took about 10-15m to get to check in desk. The lady at the desk was friendly. She asked me to scan my Priority Pass twice and boarding pass twice (standard, two different scanners). She asked: you just arrived? I said: yes. Then I was motioned to go in. Took the elevator up one floor to access the tables, rooms, showers, bathrooms, food, and bar. Today the hot bar served scrambled eggs with artichokes and spinach, sausage links, diced fruit, chia pudding, and cereal. The other food bar had a pot of oatmeal (with topping options), pot of mushroom congee (kimchi & green onions toppings), bread options (bagels, muffins, sliced bread) with spread options (cream cheeses, pesto, butter, etc). Beverage bar included coffee machine, teas, orange juice, and soda dispensers. The first plate of food was pretty good. I was hungry so happy to have hot food. The sausage was moist and flavorful. My second plate I got a bowl of congee which was unflavorful, but with the kimchi it was fine. I also popped in some sausage. I chose the sliced bread with different spreads. I don't drink regular milk so I had to forgo my latte. I made an espresso and added oat milk, but it was pretty terrible. But if you need caffeine it's something. I didn't have a hard time finding a seat. Other guests were kind and accomodating to each other. Bathroom was busy, and I had to wait a couple minutes. It was decently clean. Overall happy with my experience.

    The customer service was great, and the gentleman at the front desk was energetic and friendly. The…read morefood was decent, and there were not a ton of options to choose from. I did like that everything was self serve, so you can grab as much food as you want and relax before boarding. One thing I would recommend is arriving at the airport at least three hours early if you plan on visiting the lounge. I only had two hours before my flight, and I ended hp being on the app waitlist for an hour before getting in. The lounge can get busy, so plan ahead to give yourself enough time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.
