Lauren helped me all night and was just a breath of fresh air. She was so kind and knowledgeable and welcoming. I'll be back just for her! read more

So excited for a new place to hang out for some good food, drinks, hookah and chill vibes. Samsara was a wonderful experience. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. We started off with some appetizers, the spinach artichoke was so so good. I had the Anar MOCKTAIL, which btw they have an impressive mocktail menu as well as cocktail. The Anar mocktail was so refreshing and sweet. I enjoyed every sip. And talk about presentation! I am excited to go back and try the other drinks. The hookahs, wow. Just wow. Before i went i had heard how smooth and flavorful their hookahs were. And they sure didnt disappoint. I tried the ice hose which was super smooth and refreshing. The service was top notch and immaculate. We had a great time. Cant wait to go back! Highly recommend. read more

This place is a gem in the heart of Downtown Phoenix!! My cousins and I were visiting for the week and had a hookah craving. We headed to a hookah bar I found in Scottsdale, because it was close to our AirBnb. Anyway, we got to the hookah bar in Scottsdale and it was DEAD. Not a single patron was occupying the place and that's not the place we wanted to start our vacation. We asked the bouncer if they thought it was gonna pick up a bit and I commend his honesty. He quickly said 'no, everyone has been going to Samsara for the past few weeks. You guys would probably have more fun, if you're okay with driving another 15-20 minutes.' A quick yelp search of Samsara and it looked like a decent hookah bar, so we started heading that direction. Upon arrival, we were greeted and taken to our seats immediately. The server, Makayla took our drink orders and said she would be back shortly to get our hookah and food orders. She came right back with our drinks and offered some popular food items and hookah flavors. I ordered the lady killer and love 66 hookah combo with a lamb kabob to eat. This hookah is the best hookah I've ever had.. no exaggeration! Perfect amount of lady killer and love 66, with no overpowering elements. What really blew me away was the service. The gentleman bring out charcoals would bring charcoals out for our table before we even realized they needed to be change.. he deserves a raise! We ended up at Samsara every night of our trip and I'm glad we did. I urge you to check this place out if you're ever in the area! read more

Hukaah is muaah!! This is owned by brothers who have been working around the valley providing hukaah to other outlets for over 18 years and finally have opened their own!! The dishes are generous in size mostly good, but hukaah is the main highlight! The ambiance is so romantic and so is seating very cozy!! Just parking could be a thing but the location is great! read more

Amazing hookah and great service. Drinks are strong and the music Is lovely My hookah recommendation is mint kiwi strawberry read more

Me and my group went on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate one of our friends Bachelor parties. It was a nice vibe with hookah and bottle service. DJ was paying afrobeats and switched it up here and there! More importantly our server Sara was attentative and predicted our needs at the table. The whole staff gave great vibes but Sara is the reason I'll come back our next visit in AZ! read more

Shout out to the owner for reaching out to address a previous review after investigating it. We came back and had a great experience. The ambiance was as beautiful as before and our waitress was super sweet. This time we had the opportunity to try the food. I had the ceviche and my husband had the burger. Both were great and the serving sizes were nice for the price. They were really on top of the hookah service as well. They switched our coals regularly and checked in before we needed anything. Glad we came back read more

Hands down the best hookah lounge in Az and it's not close. The hookah is unbelievably smooth and the food is amazing. The service and ambiance is superb as well I highly recommend read more

jennifer was amazing! extremely social, kind and funny! definitely ask for her, she was great!

The ambiance is perfect! The music, food, and drinks were all great. The only reason I'm giving 3 starts instead of 5 is because when I received my bill I noticed it was significantly higher than expected. I was never given an itemized bill. The server just passed me the card reader to pay. When I asked the waitress "how did we get to this to total?" She simply said "it was for the drinks you had". I asked for a receipt and she said "We can email you a receipt after you pay". (Which I thought that was super odd). I was still super confused, but because I didn't want to make the moment more awkward I just went ahead and paid. Well, when I returned on a different date the bartender (who was amazing) gave me a printed itemized copy of my bill before I paid which is when I noticed that 20% gratuity is automatically added. I'm 100% okay with that but I just felt like it was so shady that the first time I went the server didn't disclose that so that she could get tipped double. I'm just shocked that after she saw I was clearly confused as to how the bill was so high that she wouldn't just tell me a 20% tip was already included. I just felt super uncomfortable being asked to pay an amount without being shown the break down. read more

This place is a revelation in DT Phoenix Great music food and ambiance Service is stellar Highly recommend read more

Like this place and its ambience. Great place to go with group or even just to chill at bar. Service is great. They do have great menu for food choices as well. Patio area is usually the busiest but has plenty of room. read more

No other hookah compares to the hookah here. Samsara is the best hookah bar in Arizona, hands down. I've honestly never had hookah anywhere that is as good as the hookah here. Ali the owner is the most amazing owner. Stephanie the server is my absolute favorite server, she always remembers my order and is always in the best mood. She's so attentive and makes sure we are always satisfied with our order. The service she provides is elite. Stephanie the bartender makes the most amazing drinks and is such an amazing person too. There is no other place I'd rather go whether it's a weekday chill vibes or weekend turn up Samsara is my go to place. 100/10 always! From the food to the hookah, the atmosphere, the service. You're missing out if you don't go here. read more

We had such a great time this past Sunday at Samsara. The service was great, shoutout to Audrey for being so awesome! We will be back!

I really enjoyed the ambiance and the Dj they had there, rnb throwbacks are the way to my heart! The hookah wasn't too bad, more on the pricier side if you're looking to go with just 2-3 people. I loved the smash cocktail, I recommend getting it in blackberry! Their Paleta margarita tastes just like a sour patch watermelon. Haven't really dove into the food menu yet, but that's for next time we go this spot downtown is mine and my friends new hotspot to meet up at and talk about life and everything in between. Big shoutout to our wonderful bartender and our server, Suezannah, who had nothing but a positive attitude the entire time serving us, she did a great job of making us feel like we were at home. See you soon! read more

Then to get to the bar and me meet Stephanie she just took the service to the next level with the drinks and the service this type of service was definitely needed after a long day on the clock I will be returning and guess we're I'll be sitting again at the bar to be greeted by that same wonderful smile oh and my girl looks good guys so definitely come see herrrrrr 10 out of 10 I recommend read more

Love the ambiance as there is out door seating that is covered. read more

I've been to Samsara probably about 10 times since they've opened, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. The vibes are always perfect. Whether you want a fun weekend with great music and drinks, or a chill weekday with hookah, this is the place to be. The service NEVER misses. So far, my fan favorites are Des, Val, and Katrina. Whenever I see Des behind the bar, I make sure to snag an available seat. Her service and conversation makes you never want to go home. She's very knowledgeable behind the bar and their menu. If you don't know what you want, leave it to her to help you figure it out. Val and Katrina have serviced me a handful of times and they are absolute angels. They are very communicative and attentive. If you stop in, make sure to request any of these lovely ladies. As for their offers, I have yet to find a hookah place that tops Samsara. They have a wide variety of flavors, and upgrades. You can even make your own flavor. The food is perfect for the chill vibes, no matter what you get you feel at home. As a Phoenix native, I have seen the city staples, and I KNOW Samsara is next. read more
