We came in here pre-pandemic, back in February. We arrived on a Friday afternoon after an early…read moredinner. My husband had never tried the hookah before, but I had in Istanbul, so I thought it might be something unique to do. We were greeted by a friendly lady, typical warm Turkish hospitality. Neither of us knew what to try, as we aren't smokers, but the owner helped us pick out something light and fun. There is a plethora of flavors! We went with apple, which was quite good. I like that this spot also offers some yummy Turkish beers, we each enjoyed an Efes. It was pretty quiet when we visited, only a few other people. The vibe is dark and chill, very cozy and comfortable. We had a nice visit here and glad we tried something different.

The band was very nice and stopped to chat with us. Not a lot of people were there at time but got busier as night rolled on. We grabbed our beverages and sat out back and the staff brought the tacos to us. Not your normal run of mill tacos! They had meat and rice and nice semi spicy sauce and lettuce. Each taco was 3.50 which isn't bad at all. They have great selection of beers as well as ciders in cooler and few on tap.. cool place to hang out for bit..

This hookah cafe is located in downtown Wilmington waterfront area, and thus when my SO and I are…read morein the area we frequent this hookah place quite often. Being that my husband is a hookah addict, it is hard for him to find a place that satisfies his high standards, and Arabian Nights definitely does. The price of the hookah depends upon the number within your party, and they do provide a 10% student discount M-Th, which is pretty cool considering most of their customers are students. Their shisha selection isn't very large, but they are quite delicious, and do serve tea, coffee, juices, and so forth, along with dessert. I don't know if they are still doing the dessert, but the baklava was yummy. On certain nights there is cover to enter to listen to the live music and/or to the see the belly dancer that they have come in during the weekends for entertainment. The decor of the cafe will transport you to the middle east. Its absolutely romantic, thus I would recommend it for an after dinner activity that would surely wow your date.

The place is ridiculously overpriced, from charging $7/person for cover to $3 just to to get ice in your sheeshah. They even charge you to get soap water to blow your bubbles. You bear all of these expenses to experience sub standard quality of the hookah. The atmosphere was meh, the dj was average and the staff seemed like they didn't really know what they were doing. Just when we decided to ignore all the negatives and focus on having a good time and were about to get comfortable, we were asked if we would consider moving to another location to accommodate a bigger party of people. That was the proverbial last straw that completely ruined the experience for us. I would not recommend this lounge to anybody looking to get a decent hookah in Wilmington, Instead I would suggest that one go to Juggling Gypsy, that's located less than two miles away from this one for a much better experience.

Ps she doesn't have an atm but she suggest you leave to get cash and then come back.... Luckily we had cash but saw her turn many others away. Once seated, the owner brought water bottles to the table which we though was complementary as we didn't ask for them....Turns out she charged us $3 per person for those too. Pros: The Hookah was really good and tasteful and she's very knowledgeable and the place is clean and nice. Cons: Later in the date I ordered a glass of wine and my husband ordered a bottled Heineken. Yes The Heineken was over priced at $7.90 but, what REALLY blew me was seeing on my receipt that the wine was $17.99 a glass with an addtl fee of $8.00 JUST FOR THE GLASS I DRANK OUT OF!!!! Who does that???? In my opinion I should've been able to keep the glass I paid for. Overall we just really felt hustled at this establishment. We went in expecting to pay about $50 for hookah and instead we indeed paid over $100 including the entry fee. I highly doubt we'll be returning.

I think…read morethey only waived the cover fee because of the size of our group 20+ people. which was a fair move in my option. Free hookahs until 11pm is a major incentive. servers were cool.
