The best hookah I could find in Orange County. Waleed makes each hookah with fresh fruit cup and that makes even regular Al Fakher tobacco feel amazing. I was very excited to know they now have Musthave and Darkisde performance tobaccos which are rare gem in this area. Ten stars! read more

The owner is very nice whenever I go here. This is my go to spot because it's the best hookah I've had and the food is good as well. It's very relaxing and I love the decor. read more

I recently visited and unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. While the atmosphere had potential, the hookah itself was disappointing--harsh, poorly packed, and lacked flavor. To make matters worse, the table we were seated at was dirty and hadn't been properly cleaned, which made the whole experience feel unhyginic.The one star is solely for the Arabic music. read more

Best hookah around orange county. Actually use apple as the head! Tea, Turkish Coffee!

I LOVE this place!!! I was in town for work and was looking for a hooka lounge. The environment was so awesome... it was a great place to relax and blow off steam (lol) I saw several couple having a great time too! The service was EXTREMELY friendly!! Above and beyond! I forgot my hotel keys around 1:45 am and didn't realize until I drove about 20 minutes away.... They called me and waited another 20 minutes for me to come back and get them. I WISH I lived closer. I will without a doubt be coming here anytime I'm in the area!!! read more

Cozy and chill place , hookah is the best and appetizer and food is so delicious Customer service is very good and friendly.... and every time come to check you if you need anything.... OMG you have to try the cocktail read more

Amazing amazing hookah!! Best service at any lounge I've been too! I highly highly recommend!! Foods amazing as well!

Maybe I was spoiled but the hookah lounges that I've been to in Chicago were palatial in comparison to here. In Chicago, we had our own table, pillows to sit in and enclosed by curtains making it more intimate. At this location, it was very clean. The owner was nice and friendly. They had excellent Turkish coffee. Service was good, constant upkeep with the charcoal. Ample parking. We had the watermelon and honey dew. The not so great thing about this place was that it would get filled with smoke inside so people would have to go outside to get fresh air. It also gets packed around midnight. The place is small, it's basically a very large room full of couches and small tables. read more

This is was the absolute worst Hookah lounge I have EVER been to. The flavors are gross and their hookahs are low quality and hit horribly. When I realized why I wasn't able to get a quality hit was because instead of using some kind of rubber grommet they used a damn paper napkin. My friend and I just paid and left after only being there for 30 minutes. Please see the pictures included. There's a picture of a diagram of a hookah and then a picture of the paper towel used to instead of a proper rubber grommet. Long story short don't go here. read more

Had a great conversation with him. Best $25 spent all week. Great place to relax and kickback.. hookah was awesome as well. Also played Persian music in the background. Loved it! Will definitely be coming back. read more

The Service is really bad And the Hokka it's really dirty And the employees Very roads And the manager never smell read more

i suggest for new people to not to try this place cuz they force you to buying and charge you for nothing and extra even if you don't want to smoke they will charge you read more

The owner is just rude and doesn't appreciate his customers. Especially on Friday night. Wouldn't recommend read more

I'm a bit confused about the negative reviews here. The owner is always welcoming and works hard 7 days a week to please his customers. If you want a club atmosphere look elsewhere but if you want a calming place to enjoy good hookah and relax, study, or just feel at home, Village Hookah is the spot for you. Oh yeah, and the Turkish Coffee is excellent. read more

If you're looking for a cozy hookah spot come here! Really great authentic hookah for this area. They have comfy Arab styled couches for groups and smaller couches with tall dividers for smaller groups/single customers that provide privacy which I really liked. They have cool decorations throughout with TV's available, playing cards, backgammon, chess/checkers. You can come here to study and smoke or hang out with your friends. This isn't a club style hookah lounge with crazy flashing lights and club music. The owner is strict about outside drinks but they have really cool Red Bull drinks with flavored syrups. The food is also soooo good (I got a kebab with cheese wrapped in pita bread with a sauce I believe?). read more

The finest hookah lounge I've been too. Privacy is well too well made. It's ambience is extraordinaire. It's people are too kind! The service is top-notch! I love coming here for a wind down like no other!! Very nice location. read more

Our server was nice, the hookah was okay, but a manager-seeming-guy approached us and said no "outside drinks allowed." We were drinking WATER. Vibe on a Monday night: bunch of dudes hanging out on their cell phones, blatantly staring at the few women that came in. Super uncomfortable and don't recommend. read more

Came here on 4th of July, the owner was all by himself and he was running around making everything run with a full house, the dedication is there read more

Clean. Great Service. Amazing hookah flavours. Go with the Exotics and let your server mix something special up for you. Only downside is that they don't have a lqiuor liscece yet! read more

Sister of the VIllage Cafe, But this is only a hookah lounge with sandwiches and drinks. Hookah is still the best i have had just like The Village Cafe and the sandwiches are awesome also! There is a smoke shop inside that sells the tobacco and hookahs and accessories. If you are looking for an awesome place to hang out and smoke some excellent hookah you have to go here! read more

Me and my wife pulled up around 11 on a Saturday night. Not too packed, great hookah, awesome service. Very chill Persian hookah lounge. Tea was good, backgammon is available, and they had some ufc fights on. No complaints from me. read more

Amazing people, place is like a Persian patough. Such a gem. so kind and clean. Hookah is bomb. 10/10 highly recommend

This place is absolutely fantastic the food is amazing and the service is phenomenal lemon with mint was perfect and the pita was amazing. Best spot in all of orange county for sure!!!! read more

I first came here during a friends birthday and it would only be my second visit to a hookah lounge. Ever since my first trip, i've been back on and off for over a year and the service has never seemed to falter. The service is friendly as the staff always engages you in a conversation; the owner does as well. As soon as you walk in you immediately notice all the ikea furniture - unless of course you haven't been to ikea, and if you haven't i suggest you go. The fans are always circulating and the door kept wide open for the smoke to clear out. The whole room is dimmed to give you a more private setting, furniture is spaced out perfectly giving each group their own space to talk with one another. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from and you can either choose the standard hookah which you can mix two different flavors or you can go with the exotic which is less harsh and can be shared with three friends instead of two. They also have a food selection you can order from. I have personally tried the chips and salsa which is generic, but a great snack to munch on as there is a rule of outside food. I've tried their humus which is quite delicious and it is usually served with peeta bread, though at times if they don't have it in stock they serve it with plain baked bread which i personally don't favor. I've also tried a sandwich, but have nothing really great to say about it - it's just a sandwich. Sometimes you have to urge them to bring the waters out as they sometimes forget you had ordered it. There are playing cards and board games in the front office that is available for anyone to use, but it seems the cards always run out as the patrons always have managed to snag it before my group could. I suggest bringing your own form of entertainment. The music is usually set to the mainstream sounds we're used to hearing on the radio, but is sometimes changed to middle eastern music if it's been asked by a frequent customer. All in all i've always seemed to have a good experience here and would recommend that you try it. Try the Honeydew + Mint combination, you won't be sorry. read more

Service: 4 stars - Very pleasant and accommodating Quality: 2 stars - Hookahs aren't well maintained (actually kind of dirty) Shisha/Bowl: 4 stars - Guava/Mint was yummy. Coconut coals are a nice touch. Apple bowl is well made. Very smokey inside. No outside good policy. Pricing is a little high for the amenities. read more

Nice and cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great hookah ( hubly bubly). Nice Arabic music and comfortable sofas read more

Hookah was excellent, with good service. The owner is a very friendly person. I recommend this hookah bar to everyone

The only hookah place I know that actually knows how to do an Apple Bowl correctly. I always been a fan of the clay bowls, but I suppose there is innovation for everything. People judge hookah by volume of smoke, and sure you can. I personally judge by taste, atmosphere, etc. Its not just one metric. There is a loyalty card, for every 6 visits, you get a free hookah. --WHAT SHOULD I ORDER-- 1) Hookah, personally I get guava/peach/pineapple. I can also do mint/double apple and like all the hookahs here, they all hit really well. The hookahs are clean, meaning you wont get charcoal chunks in your mouth. 2) The place offers light appetizers like hummus with some bread. Teas and soft drinks are available as well. --HOW IS THE SERVICE-- On a busy night, most of the tables are packed. Charcoal is constantly available to guests that need it. --WHAT IS THE PRICE-- Expect each person to pay about 15$-25$ at the end of the bill. Source: I have been here at least 20- 24 times in the past 12 months. read more

I've only been here once, it was a random trip to come here and I'm not dissatisfied. The environment is different, very open, not super clean, it was quiet when I came in because it was early in the afternoon. I was seated immediately and given a menu, I wanted to pick something basic but the owner suggested something else. I went with Al Fakher watermelon mint I think. It started to hit well and smooth about 10 minutes in, coals were changed appropriately and the hookah actually lasted longer than expected without a refill or getting too harsh. This place is a bit pricier than the ones I usually go to, it was a cool place to check out. I wouldn't come back just because it's quite a drive from my house but not too bad of a place to go to once read more
