    Hookah, Tea, Baklava
    Aidin S.

    Hands down one of the best hookah spots I've been to -- and I don't say that lightly. We're serious hookah smokers (we literally have five hookahs at home), so we're picky about flavor, smoothness, and overall setup. And this place is simply the best. We also spent a full week in Dubai, mostly around Marina and JBR, trying some of the "best" hookah lounges there -- some charging around $200 -- and honestly, none of them matched the quality we got here. The flavor is rich, smooth, and stays consistent the whole session instead of dying out fast or getting harsh. The hookahs are premium Russian quality, with a clean pull and everything set up perfectly and maintained like it should be. And the sweets? Incredible. The baklava and desserts taste fresh and authentic -- easily some of the best I've had. Top it off with amazing customer service: attentive, fast with coal changes, friendly without hovering, and they genuinely care about your experience. The ambience is clean, cozy, and a whole vibe. If you care about real quality (not just a fancy price tag), this is the spot. Highly recommend.

    The only place where I want to be when I want to relax and unwind after a hard day at work. Matt, Tim and Steve are very accommodating. Great ambience, they have the best service and best hookah. 10/10

    Great new hookah spot in Walnut Creek!! The hookahs are really smooth and the lounge has a cool vibe. They have tea and some deserts too. The hookahs are mixed right and last around 1.5 hrs or more. Overall we were really impressed and will be back. Definitely worth checking out!!

    I got the chance to visit The Loft Hookah Cafe last weekend and Iet me just say I was so impressed!! We were greeted by the owner with so much warmth and hospitality. The space was very clean and inviting. The leather seats are super comfy too! The flavor menu and mixes all come from premium brands, which included my favorites (major ++). We received our hookahs rather quickly and were checked on frequently. The ventilation was perfect. From the first hit to the last the flavor and service was on point They had a live DJ there that night playing a good variety of music which made the overall experience even more enjoyable! Also, the location is walking distance from DTWC, how convenient! Can't wait to come back and try more amazing flavors

    Great Ambiance and Atmosphere. Always a pleasure working with Tim and Staff. Highly recommend this place!

    Desserts and chai are amazing!

The service wasn't exactly friendly- they didn't really communicate much with me and just pointed at my to-go bag and where to tap my card. I don't typically like lamb but it was very juicy and seasoned well here, so I enjoyed it! The chicken was delicious and definitely my favorite. I thought the rice was just ok, it was bit dry. I agree with others that it's a shame they don't include garlic sauce or other sauce on the side. The inside had a few tables for seating. There is no patio area, so outside seating was not an option.

I had heard they served a great Turkish breakfast, but unfortunately, they don't offer that anymore. We ended up ordering other menu items instead, and everything was delicious--plus, the presentation on their cute plates was such a nice touch! Since it's also a hookah bar, I was a bit concerned because I'm sensitive to smoke, but it wasn't smoky at all and I couldn't smell a thing. The atmosphere was so comfortable and welcoming that we ended up staying much longer than planned enjoying our meal and catching up. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!

Pasha Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge is a trendy, spacious eatery with a sizable patio specializing in Turkish-Mediterranean food and shisha. Situated along Jefferson Avenue in the heart of Redwood City, Pasha features a unique dual-atmosphere venue. The indoor space is a family-friendly dining room isolated from the hookah smoke. Booth and traditional table seating are offered in this section where the front counter functions primarily as a casual, fast-casual walk-up ordering station. The covered outdoor porch serves as the hookah lounge that transitions from a relaxed casual area by day into a lively, energetic nightlife destination by night, perfect for celebratory events and late-night conversations over TURKISH COFFEE ($5.00) and hookah alike. We came for some non-alcoholic beverages and to share a hookah. Edward ordered a GINGER BEER ($5.00) and I went with the POT HOT TEA ($6.95) both of which were placed via table service. Edward is a regular at Pasha, so the staff didn't need to walk us through flavour options nor explain the setup process. He simply asked for "something light" and we were served a smooth, fruit forward flavour. No one came around to check in, to make sure everything was burning evenly, nor to adjust the coals. As a result, Edward ended up having to rotate and flip the coals himself. When we requested to have the adjacent heater turned on, a team member tried without success, even changed the propane tank, then disappeared without word and never getting the heat on. Attention to service fell short, but at least the guy who recognized Edward was friendly.

The Chicken Shawarma Platter was a nice portion, cooked nicely, and had good flavor. The Lamb was cooked perfectly and had good flavor, didn't have that gammy flavor, and was juicy. The Kofte Wrap was a nice size, juicy, and had nice flavor that worked well with the other ingredients in the Wrap. Overall, fast service and great food. What isn't there to like?

Unfortunately, I was served beef anyway. On top of that, the salad was spoiled. Shortly after eating it, I became extremely sick and started vomiting repeatedly. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened, but no one responded or made any effort to address the situation or follow up with me. Serving someone meat that goes against their religious beliefs is a serious mistake, and serving spoiled food is unacceptable. I hope the restaurant improves its food safety practices and pays closer attention to customers' dietary and religious restrictions so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
