Pretty cool spot, especially if you're an avid hookah-smoker. I love me an authentic-feeling hookah venue. The staff was super friendly. Our waiter could not speak English very well, but to me that adds to the authenticity of the experience, although the language barrier can be somewhat frustrating, it really wasn't a problem for us. He was attentive and helpful. I am somewhat of a hookah traveler per say, I always look for new and interesting places to try. This one will definitely be somewhere I will visit again! Their flavors were very good and I had a great time sharing the experience with my sister. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. When first pulling up to the business we noticed a lot of cars which turned out to be the most promising part of the place. When walking up to the entrance we noticed a lot of people eating food from home and were stared down for some reason. Once inside there was barely any room to walk as we found of the few open seats. After waiting about 30 minutes inside a business that you hoped wouldn't catch fire because of the lack of escape routes we were greeted by whom we think was the owner. We ordered a familiar flavor which we smoke at home in Toledo and at other hookah lounges around us. I had clear view to the back room where the hookahs were made and saw him pull one off the shelf and used the water that was already in it. First mistake since who knows long it was in there. After watching him start/smoke off of the house he then brought out to use (very off putting) we tried it. The first initial puff of smoke was okay. Not the typical blueberry mint were used to but every place is different. But after a second hit I noticed an off putting taste. I have been smoking hookah for over 7 years and can tell the difference between a clean hookah and one that is barely maintained/taken care off. And it was the later. The hookah tasted dirty and completely gross. I have never smoked out of something so atrocious in my life. I felt like I was going to catch some sort of illness or disease from it. After calling the same worker back over to explain things, which turned out to be difficult due to his lack of English skills, he began to argue about how it was clean. I further tried to explain that I knew it wasn't so he took our hose and again smoked off of it just to say it was fine. I said no it wasn't, that it had no flavor and it tasted unclean so he offered to change the head. I then tried to explain that it wasn't the head but the hookah and he didn't understand. We then decided to leave and after I told him that we were just going to leave he got rude and said "bye" in the most rude and condescending tone. As we left he took the hookah to the back room that we walked where he decided to talk crap about us as we left. During this whole experience we saw people smoking cigarettes, which I'm sure is one of the many health code violations, they took one persons hookah and wouldn't give it back without any explanation and provide very poor service to others. I would NEVER go back to this place when visiting again and do not recommend this place at all. I don't know how it even has above 2 stars honestly. read more

This was our first time and won't be our last. So glad we made a wrong turn. Ocean (sorry love if I'm not spelling it correctly) is the bomb at helping you selecting the hookah that will be right for you and your crew. The other staff were equally as amazing. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is great. Quiet, chill, good hookah. Al-Fahker double Apple is the best. The patio really sets it apart from other local places.

Great service and good people.. must go. Really liked the hookah and outdoor patio. Very relaxing place.
