The lady and I had a craving for some hookah, and I had always seen this one after eating at Pho de Nguyen, so when she wanted hookah, this was the first place I thought about. We came on a Saturday night, and there was plenty of seating available. The gentlemen who was helping us out was the only one there serving everyone and he was quick to get us set up. They have a pretty extensive menu with plenty of flavors and house special combos. For the two of us, a single hookah was under $40 and we were able to kick it there for 1.5-2 hours. They've got comfy seating, plenty of TVs, and a inviting place to just kick it and enjoy some hookah. They've got small tables and big ones to accommodate larger groups. What's cool is that you are able to bring in your own food, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks to enjoy while you are there. They also offer free hot tea for guests. After one visit, I can definitely see myself coming back here again, especially during 49ers and Warriors games. read more

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. read more

10/10 if I could. I should've written this review a few months ago, but I did my birthday here at Paradise. we reserved the VIP section. The owner was so welcoming and his staff member to great care of us. They were east o communicate with and answered any questions. I recommend doing this for any event with their group of people. The ambience was great. Music was good they even cater if you'd like. But also we're allowed to bring our own food. The price is even affordable !!! I wish I took pictures but I was having too much fun! read more

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. read more

What I'd change: 1. pay more attention to what's left on the television for several hours. the other night it was watching Warriors post-game commentary on silent. I saw Charles Barkley about 12 times but never heard a word he said. The background music was good, however. 2. install a little fridge and sell some cheap sandwiches or maybe some pita bread and hummus. you could always offer foods that have a long shelf life if you are trying to cut down on wastefulness. 3. give the walls some more character. maybe add some middle eastern artwork, or allow customers to submit some of their own artwork to be displayed. 4. UFC events might draw some people in. Maybe do a survey to see how much interest customers have. 5. You may have this already, but if you don't, a once per week movie night would be fun. You could take a poll on your facebook page and then announce the selection a few days in advance. What's great? What would I not change: 1. the prices are fair. everything in this area is expensive, so $20 for hookah that lasts several hours is not too much to ask. Its nice that you have options on accessories for your hoses. The flavor selection is good. 2. there are different types of seats. some are more rigid and less cozy, which is good if you want to stay alert and get work done. some other seats are more cozy - they're couches you can sink into. 3. the staff have a friendly approach. that goes a long way. the bathroom was clean, too. 4. the parking was convenient. I could see that my vehicle was safe while I was smoking. 5. the hours are fair. opening at noon is nice because many other lounges are not open as long. closing at 3am on friday and Saturday is great. if you make one day 4am, i doubt many customers would have a problem with that. Keep this place going. Its pretty cool. I will definitely be returning regularly. Thank you. read more

This place IS Paradise! The best I could've asked for! You need to try this spot! My friends invited me to Paradise Hookah Lounge last night. It was my first time smoking hookah, and as a mostly non-smoker, I didn't really know what to expect. The owner, Al (hope I spelled your name correctly!) was super friendly and helpful. He welcomed us in and showed us the menu, answered our questions about what we might like - we chose their special house mix - 10/10, it was so good. Hella smooth and not harsh at all. My group ended up staying for 3 hours until closing - and Al made sure we were taken care of the entire time. He checked our setup throughout the night to make sure it worked and adjusted as needed, kept our coals fresh. Really he made sure we had the best visit we could have, and like I said above, it was perfect. I highly HIGHLY recommend you come by and check Paradise out. I already want to go back. Thanks Al! read more

My go-to hookah spot. I love this place, and it makes it even better when there's awesome service. Always get greeted when I walk in and the workers always offer suggestions as well, depending on what kind of flavor you're looking for. Tonight, my boyfriend and I were suggested to try grape mint, and so we did. Literally one of the best flavors I've ever had. The workers also know you exist and check up on you to make sure you're satisfied with your hookah; most places don't ever do that lol. You can tell these people actually care about their customers. I also love the ambiance. Lots of comfortable seating are provided. The bathroom is clean. It's just a really chill spot to hang out at to relax, relieve some stress, etc. read more

We're here visiting from Los Angeles and decided to try a hookah lounge here in comparison to LA. The ambiance at this place is nice, but we found it weird that we need to pay for the hookah prior to sitting down. Any hookah lounge I've been to before works the other way around -- you sit, order and pay when you're done. We were happy to find somewhere that served Tangier's, but instantly regretted coming here. The hookah isn't good. We ordered peach, pineapus and cane. It didn't taste anything like any of these flavors. The hookah was so sweet that I got nauseous and we left shortly after. Wouldn't come here again, personally. read more

We called the same day to see if they could accommodate a group of 10, and they were super…read moreeasygoing and welcoming. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and made for a great group dinner. We shared Greek and Caesar salads to start, along with three pizzas: mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage. The salads were really fresh with great toppings and a good balance of dressing. The pizzas were all delicious with the perfect thin-crust crisp and great flavor across the board. One thing I had never seen before was some sort of aerator pan between the pizza and the tray, which kept the crust from getting soggy. They also have a solid selection of beers on tap. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, and the staff were very friendly throughout the night.

We've been meaning to try Industry Pizza, since it's highly rated on Yelp. It was around 5 pm and…read morethe place only had a few customers. The place had an industrial vibe, just like the name. We grabbed a table to look over the menu and went up to the register to order. The guy who took our order was friendly, efficient, and accommodating. *** OUR PICKS *** BROOKLYN PIZZA ~ cheese with pepperoni (subbed it with sausage) jalapeños, fresh basil, ricotta, and hot honey. We enjoyed the sourdough pizza and toppings! I'm glad we had it with sausage instead of pepperoni. Love the hot honey! Crispy, chewy crust was Yummy! 5/5 BUFFALO WINGS with RANCH DRESSING ~ These wings don't look homemade. If it was done fresh, you'd get a glaze of Frank's Hot Sauce on the wings. The sauce looked fried into it, the wings were small, and the meat was dry. We've had better. 3/5 CAESAR SALAD ~ romaine, crisp capers, parmesan cheese, croutons. The salad was already wilting because they put the salad dressing on the romaine. It would be better if the dressing was on the side, so it stays fresh. The dressing was nice and zesty. 3.5/5 We enjoyed the pizza the most and would come back only for that. Highly recommend getting the Brooklyn if you like a little bit of spice in the pizza.

I didn't try any food this time around but I will say the person next to me had a steak rice bowl that looked really good.

I'd definitely recommend visiting during the day or around sunset if possible. We grabbed seats at the bar and stayed until closing. The lounge was pretty busy and seemed a little understaffed, but the staff worked hard and were friendly throughout the night. The bartender was especially sweet and quickly figured out what kind of cocktails I liked after a couple of drinks. As for the drinks, their specialty cocktails were just okay for me. Not bad, but nothing particularly memorable. We ended up ordering classic cocktails instead. Overall, the views and service were the highlights of my visit. While I probably wouldn't come back specifically for the food or drinks, I did appreciate the staff's effort and hospitality.

The staff conistantly checked in on us and our "invisible friend". Drinks were amazing, food was amazing, staff was amazing. At a point in our night, after expressing interest in her "ex boyfriend" shrunken head, one of the owners began to share her tiki mug collection with us and the stories behind them.

To the owner, if the new boyfriend doesn't work out I would like to buy the next shrunken head in your collection! LOL.

Now this review might be a little long, but worth the read. First of all I never even heard of this place until I was recommended here by another hookah lounge in Hayward, I didn't understand why they would recommend us to another place however I am glad they did. We came on the weekend and it is a little pricey but well worth it. The owner actually works instead of just sitting there and is very friendly, I believe his name was Kesh. He explained to us that they use the best charcoal and tobacco that is available and continuously restock every week. He also said they give away free hookahs, which will deffinetly bring me back, because I do need a good hookah. Overall all it is a pretty chill place, I think they let you BYOB at times also which is good because everybody needs a occasional drink. Paradise and Waterfront are definitely my two new places. read more

This is a Great Place!! I've been coming here for the past year, and didn't even think about leaving a review. Just because from the first time I came I was treated with great Service. Hands down you won't regret this place has the atmosphere of all the occasions that you like in a week! They are open early in the morning , and have free WIFI , and nice hot drinks. If you haven't tried you need to come , the brothers there got it down!! Nothing close to what it was like that people wrote many years ago! read more

Came here on there opening night, and boy do I regret it. Customer service was a bit slow, hookah was harsh after 10 min and when I asked to get it changed they told me i had to pay for another one. They crowd was very ghetto, it looked like they were all the owners friends. It was hard to tell who worked there and who didn't. If your in the area, save your money and take it to waterfront. Much better there. read more

We had plenty of drinks at dinner and another bar afterwards, so caffeine was appreciated. We were here for about an hour. Sat inside at a table by the front.
