    I appreciate the kind of loungy vibe, they make good Turkish coffee, although their service takes quite a while. Also, they don't take credit card and charge a $10/person minimum, just FYI.

    This is hidden GEM!!! First time going there but we had a BLAST and the best part is 23/7. Hookahs are only 14 bucks and they are LOADED!!! Overall nice clean organized spot. You MUST try the strawberry shakes they sell definitely on POINT! I will definitely will be coming back ASAP!

    HI, I am giving 5 stars for Aldi and the sheesha quality. The server who waited on us on a Sunday morning we went for sheesha. He was so attentive and packed fresh sheesha. We ordered rose in a plain bowl and white gummy bear in an orange and both were great. The White Gummy Bear was fantastic in an orange bowl and was really fruity! I loved it.Some places reuse fruit when they serve you and he grabbed a fresh orange and cut it in front of us which had me convinced. Day time sheesha here is perfect. My friend told our server (Aldi) it was her birthday and he played an Arabic birthday song! and also did a little dance it was the sweetest thing. He showed us how we can control the music and brought us glasses of ice water attentively. We never needed to ask for more coals as he brought them right on time. He gave me an amazing cup of Egyptian mint tea and it was the perfect burst of caffeine I needed because I wanted to avoid coffee, so delightful. I wanted to buy a hose like the one we were using at Rotana and he helped me find the exact one for purchase from a nearby shop which I appreciated so much. I'll be posting a picture of him on here and we will be returning again next month!

    Been to this Hookah Lounge about 4-5 times. I have tried other places around (the whole street is hookah lounges), but I like this one the most compare to the other ones. The music is not too loud, tables are not too close to each other, not ghetto, and authentic. A hookah costs about $12-$15. You can add fresh fruits as the base, I tried a fresh pineapple base once, additional $10, but I didn't like it that much. The service is very fast here. Someone is always changing your charcoals. I wish they serve food though. Like wings or pizza. Oh, the other bad thing is, it's cash only.

    I've been coming here for about 4-5 years now and Rotana has only gotten better over the course of that time. Rotana's really come a long way over the years having had renovations done almost yearly to upgrade the establishment. Sometimes it takes having a lousy experience to realize how good you really had it at the place you went. I've tried other hookah bars and the experience is mixed but for the most part I prefer Rotana over all of them. Rotana tends to attract a very mixed crowd. During a regular weekday you'll see older men watching soccer. Rotana is ery relaxed during the daytime hours. There's usually only one guy on shift at this time and even when it gets busy his service is impeccable. I've literally watch this guy zip and zoom from one customer to the other in order to give fast attentive service. He not only is your host and takes orders but he's also the coal guy. How he manages to do all of this at once when it's busy and rmeember what you order is beyond me. He also makes really great hookahs. Later on the evening you get a lot of late teens and twenty somethings but again the crowd is still very mixed. The regulars all know each other and are all friendly. They're definitely characters that's for sure. Rotana is one of the few hookah bars that's open 24/7 which is really convenient. The service at night is just as good as the daytime. There are a lot more people on staff but there's also more customers in the evening. The hookah prices range from $8-16 depending on what you order. They don't serve alcohol but they do have great smoothies and tea options.

    One thing for sure is this place has SO MANY hookah flavor options and the flavors last WAY LONGER than most hookah spots on Steinway.

They do have hookah available but it was not good! No good flavor, Tasted Burt right after a refill To drink I ordered a Cosmo to start and I did not like it at all.

I had 4/5 there was two girls one floor and one bartender when the floor girl decided to go behind the bar and make my drink which was two ingredients it was terrible, I didn't understand why it was bourbon and pineapple people should really stick to their position.

Sat at a table that was partial inside and outside with the views of the street... cool. The blackboard outside promoted a happy hour until 8pm on drinks so I got the mango mojito which was weak btw and not on happy hour price according to one of the bartenders that sign was meant for Monday- Friday which was very misleading. Ordered me some food which was good and decent priced. The music they played was good as well. BTW they already charge a 18% gratuity on your check which sucks. Also the bartender gave back the wrong change which I'm not sure why simple math is hard.

We sat in an area with bottle service and we were told that we couldn't sit there. They put us in an anther area. Then Moved us. We were then told that area was bottle service as well. We just came from bottle service so we e didn't care to drink. They then told us the place they wanted to sit us was was "reserved" which didn't make any sense. Bc they didn't have reservations. We were literally going back and forth. So embarrassing for women in general. It's so sad when people hold other people to such high caliber for no reason... that's how these people are. I may not be a familiar face, but also treat newbies well so they can return and bring others for business. The one worker we thought was helping us ended up having no patience and literally walked away from me when I was trying to ask him a simple question. It's very sad...

The bill was over $80 but with tip included and a "card processing fee" it came out to $104. The waiter was a cool guy and it had a nice atmosphere but the prices are astronomical.
