We stopped in early on a Friday evening. It wasn't very busy. We got prompt service. The menu was organized by brand and the prices were cheaper than listed on the menu so it might be helpful to ask. I'm unsure if they are BYOB but they did have beer for purchase there. The environment was clean and the seats were spacious and comfy. It was a chill vibe. Would recommend. read more

Ordered: Lemon Lit Hookah (~$31): flavor by Eternal Smoke Aya's take: Nothing like a hookah session to digest your dinner and catch up with an old friend! We stopped by Zaman and I will say, it was a lot more casual than expected. Not to mention, for a Saturday night, it was practically empty. There's really no ambiance here so if you're looking for a no frills spot, this is it. Casper was super friendly and hospitable! He gave us recommendations which we ultimately went with. The Lemon Lit Hookah was different than what I usually smoke. It had a zesty lemon and icy cold flavor that's pretty refreshing although could be a bit harsh if you're not used to the icy flavor. I usually prefer mint over ice flavor (yes, there is a difference) so this wasn't my favorite but it was a good try. It lasted for the 2 hours we were there (and could have kept going). Cool spot and shout out to Casper for his customer service. read more

I came here to relax during some intense training. I was able to enjoy some good music, study, have a great cup of cappuccino and a large array of hookah. I will definitely be back. read more

Stumbled upon this place mistakenly thinking it was Zaman Mediterranean Grill Cuisine, however I believe they are next to or close to each other. This Hookah lounge is actually at the corner of the plaza rather than in the middle like older photos. Either way, both establishments are in business together. I arrived on a Monday night being my second night in Orlando. I was craving for this food and heard good reviews about this as well. I was seated on the couches and the waitress handed the menu - from Zaman Cuisine. I ordered the Lemon Mint Juice and the Meat Shawarma. Unfortunately, they ran out of the Falafel. Lemon Mint - excellent taste of the two ingredients together. Meat Shawarma - Marinated Slow-roasted meat served with grilled peppers and rice. I would say it was a good amount of food just one person and so I took leftovers back to the hotel. The waitress was nice at first and I tipped her very generously, but the only thing that gave me a somewhat an off-vibe was when I kindly let her know she miscounted my change and she gave me a look, rolled her eyes and handed me the missing change she had tucked to the side of the register. So, I would say ensure to count your change back if you plan on using cash. Other than that, everything else was good. (11/09/2020) read more

Affordable but service was lacking. Great hookah prices and they have a pretty big food menu that looked yummy. I came here with a friend because we happened to be in the area. We had already eaten so we didn't take full advantage of their menu (other than an order of fries). We mixed the gum and mint flavors and it was really good. First time trying the gum flavor. The hookahs come with disposable plastic hoses so it's more sanitary, which is good. CONS: The furniture is beat up and needs replacing. Customer service was pretty bad. I ordered a Turkish coffee and I had to remind them 3 times because it never came. I finally got it like an hour later when I told them how long I had been waiting for it. The fries we ordered took a long time as well. I don't know if their service is normally that bad or if they just had an off day. But it's pretty bad when you have to remind them 3 times to bring the coffee I ordered and I was being so patient and polite with them about it. It's nice that they provide phone chargers. Just FYI. No alcoholic beverages offered at this location. read more

DO NOT DRIVE HERE OR EAT HERE! For one plate to share hummus from a can barely blended with cloudy olive oil and microwaved pita that went hard before our SHARED one mix grill with 2 chicken and one lamb kabob with white flavorless rice no vermicelli and 1/4 cup chopped lettuce with lemon and sumac. Terrible service. One Staff just sitting there with his friend on a Friday night in the most tourist dense area of Orlando should have gone to show us not to dine here. The chicken came out very obviously cooked before. It was soft chicken but the internal temperature it came out with could not have been safe to serve. It was not hot. Then the bill came. $60 I could have eaten the best kabob at Bombay street kitchen with good service and REFILLS ON MY SODA for $45 after tip. Or Seito sushi with the best ingredients in winter park for $60. Shame on you. Not to mention the tacky reupholstered seating that was barely holding us up to eat said meal. read more

Another decent hookah spot. This area/ most spots in Florida charge gratuity. For those of you who dont know what that is, they take a certain percent of the bill and automatically tip the waiter or waitress. Here in Florida the amount is mostly 18 percent. So this is a reason why customer service here isnt great. No matter what they do or say they get paid either way. I had the hookah changed out the first time, the water was dirty, also the flavor didnt taste right at all. I ordered a double apple.. tasted like dirty hookah water and blueberry mint. AHA. The second time was alot better but I hate to fight for good product and good customer service. The place was so quite, no music not even the tv just for background noise. Other than that the place was small and cute and the bathrooms were clean. read more

Zaman Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

As you can see from my review from years ago, I loved coming to Zaman. The two experiences I had over the last two nights left the worst taste in my mouth (quite literally). The first night they served me a mousse with mold on the back of it. I didn't see it when I first took a bite but immediately spit it out and then saw splotches of mold on the back side. I let the server know and nothing more was done of it. Not an apology or anything, but it wasn't the end of the world and at least they didn't charge me I guess? Again, I used to love coming here for the hookah, so we went back the next night. I ordered a citrus mint hookah (17.99) and a Moroccan tea (4.99) but they had charged me for a citrus MIST (20.99) and a tea pot (10.99). I let them know that's not what I ordered but they said they already charged me and that's what they served me. I was annoyed with the service but just didn't want to be a pain so I just paid for what they served me for. To be honest, I wasn't going to write this Yelp review but before I left I glanced at the back of their pastry case and saw MORE MOLD on the mousses and cakes. It was disgusting and the service was so frustrating - hence my first 1 star Yelp review ever lol. read more

Man I really like this place and it's a chill vibe but I base this review just off the hookah and honestly how you going to give me a new hookah and give me some fucked up used coals I pay high price here for my hookah I deserve better coals like how do expect me to start my hookah with these bad use coals and it's only when one of the girl with black hair works I always get bad hookah I'm stop coming here and go somewhere else if I keep getting the same treatment when she is working and she give me fucked up coals read more

Zaman Hookah Lounge - Fucked up coals - Hookah Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The atmosphere in this place was odd. Music was not the norm for hookah lounges I've been to. Service was awesome though. The hookah wasn't that great. The taste doesn't taste like the flavor. Usually hookah lounges are dim and chill, but this place is as bright as it can be. The vibe is off for me on this place. Probably won't return. read more

Zaman, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry. Yelp, I don't understand why this place got rated so high. I've been misled! :( My BF & I visited Orlando for a powerlifting event, & as usual, we always search up hookah places wherever we travel to. My BF who is a regular hookah smoker taught me so much over the years of what's high quality & what's not; from the coals to the shishas to the pack job itself. When we arrived at Zaman's, there were 2 guys (one of them was most likely the owner), each smoking their own hookah, & one female that served us & other guests. She took multiple breaks smoking her own hookah as well & chatting with a friend that visited her throughout our visit. We ordered tea that was hella expensive for no reason. As for the hookah, we ordered a mix of mint & a fruit flavor (I can't remember). Girllllll *with the hand wave*, let me tell you, it was SUPER harsh to smoke. It was not smooth at all. The pack job was terrible! She even mixed the coals; coconut & quick light. Bruh, if you know your hookah, you know it's a BIG NO-NO to use quick light coals. Bye Felicia. I ain't comin' back. read more

Every place starts off at 5 stars Slow service took this place to 4 stars Our smoothies took 35 minutes (food came out first, weird) ..Now we're at 3 stars. Asked for a bottle of ketchup, it was empty. Asked for a second bottle. Empty. Music wasn't diverse. 2 stars So here we are. read more

The hummus with the different bread was so delicious! Not sure of the name of the bread but the waiter recommended it versus Pita. It was light and yummy. The Zaman special hookah was well worth the $30 price tag and tastes so smooth. The atmosphere was authentic, comforting and relaxing. Highly recommended read more

Hookah was great!! Strong flavors and long-lasting! The atmosphere was also nice and laid back. Great value at about $20 bucks for two flavors. Highly recommend if you're in the Orlando area read more

I was not able to capture any pictures when I got here not that I wasn't able to but the vibe there was so chill & relaxing I honestly forgot about my phone. They have indoor & outdoor seating but you would probably feel more comfortable inside. I feel even though the owners have not directly replied to any of the reviews on here they read them & have taken action to correct. - They were very attentive the whole time we were there. - They changed from the quick light coals. - We did not have to ask for new coals because they made sure to watch the area & make sure everyone was taken care of. - They did a better job packing the shisha The hookah price was affordable & they offered some fruit top options, a bit too extra for me but hey I'm sure some people like it. They have light food & beverages available as well, that chocolate shake looked good but I'll have to give that a shot next time. Overall not a bad experience & nothing negative to say about the place. read more

Very friendly staff and clean place visited with family and had a very good shisha. I definitely recommend this place

This is probably my least favorite experience so far at a hookah bar in Orlando. (It was rated so high and I have no idea why - we were mislead.) While the woman working was very polite, it did not make up for the poorly made bowls that got harsh and lost flavor very quickly. The pack job was terrible and they were not attentive to coals. I wish they would offer insta coals or naturals - not everyone likes the outcome of naturals. We got the "Zaman Special" and it was very fruity but in the way that tastes like the cheap fruit flavors you mix together at house parties. Also they could not get the music situation figured out, so us and two other groups sat awkwardly for about 10-15 minutes while they fiddled with the music. I could figure out why a hookah lounge on Friday would be so empty. Now I know. Save your $$ - not worth the visit. read more

Amazing ambience with great hookah! Foods exceptional. Love the famous chicken schwarma along with the fries. New Zamans decoration makes you feel at home. Musiccould change to more what people want to listen to read more

It was okay. The hookahs weren't pulling as much and when I tried to adjust it the attendant came over acting like he didn't want anyone to touch the hookahs. The flavor was alright but I felt I should have went to another spot. read more

Randomly decided to go out for hookah after a nice dinner and came to Zaman and loved it. The staff (Big Papa and Mama) made the experience very pleasurable. They suggested a great mix of flavors, gave demonstrations on how to do tricks with the hookah, and were attentive to keeping our hookah lit. Would definitely come back again and I recommend it to everyone looking for Hookah. read more

Zaman Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great place for hookah, cannot recommend highly enough! If you smoke hookah on any sort of regular basis, this is where you want to go. Unlike most of the hookah bars I've visited, this is definitely a lounge--no DJ, lots of comfy couches and they provide some card games/dominoes to keep everyone entertained while they smoke. The flavors are great (they have Al Fakher shisha and a limited selection of Starbuzz) and they maintain the hookah really well. Ours smoked for about 2 hours, which is more than worth it for the price. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and makes good recommendations if you aren't already familiar with hookah or their flavors. We tried the Turkish coffee and the Special Shake--both were very good. I was delighted that the Turkish coffee (which is pretty bitter by default) was served with a little Ferraro Rocher chocolate which was a good balance. My friend that ordered the shake stated it was one of the best she'd ever had. Overall, this would be a great place to just hang out or even have a small board game night--and it's definitely a great place to hang out and smoke some great hookah! read more

I've been in hookah lounges from NYC to Seattle and now Orlando. This place has it down. Great staff, clean hookah, great music and atmosphere. Perfect for that after work hookah session or playing cards with your friends. Thanks to Omar, Ihab, and the counter staff for their wonderful service and welcoming attitude. read more

If you're looking for a very relaxed hookah place, with some board games, and great cappuccino, this is the place to go to. The hookah and service is pretty good! We usually see a lot of dim lit hookah places with loud music which is for partying, but if you are looking to spend some time with friends talking and playing games, you will definitely love it! read more

Very relaxing atmosphere. The lighting and decor are amazing and it is nicely lit unlike most of the hookah bars I have been to. The staff was really friendly and helped pick out the 2 perfect flavors for us. We ended up with double apple (my go to) and pina colada. The entire evening was very relaxing and they stayed on top of making sure we were having a good time. A friend in the group ended up ordering a milkshake and it was absolutely amazing. We were there for almost 2 hours just joking and having a good time the hookah lasted the entire time and there was never any pressure to leave. read more

Love the hookahs they have here, by far the best Orlando has to offer, went to few different ones before discovering this gem on a place

Best hookah in town a best customer service , Layan was the best , Turkish was amazing

Honestly food was cold and meat was raw and we were unable to chew it. Hookah lasted only 30 minutes and shish-a was outdated. Bill already included 18% gratitude fee and still was open for additional tips. Empty food plates were not removed for about 20 minutes even if we asked to remove several times read more
