Manager was rude I fo there all the time and order the lamb chops which are usually great this time they were super small so I asked could they either redo the order or throw in 2 more to make up for the size he got very upset and said he didn't want me and my party business instead of trying to find a solution. I will definitely not recommend going here the waitress messed over our order and everything

The staff is rude, especially the tall waitress , her name is Kanna, if I’m not mistaken . I was recommended to try pineapple hookah- nothing special, just waste of money . Provided glasses for wine were unclean, bathroom is weird - no towels,no toilet paper . We were waiting for coals for 25 minutes, no one reacted . Won’t come back and don’t recommend this place .

Everything was amazing.The waitress was nice and professional.The place was clean.The food was very delicious.We will definitely be coming back.The tea was good.The hookah was perfect!!!Thank you for such an amazing experience

Food is amazing. Thought their choice of music is very bad. Jayna she is amazing. With hookah you have to take your chances of good or bad. They have their days!! I love their mango and mint lemon smoothie. Great place to study during the afternoon. I spent many days studying their with my coffee and hookah!!

Great food, service, and hookah flavors!! BYOB though ☺

Definitely a welcoming relaxed place. Food is good and a great atmosphere to enjoy a conversation with friends. Even met DJ Diesel there one time so that was cool.

Great service, food and hookah. I love this place, and would recommend to anyone who wants to spend some quality time with friends or family.FYI: Francisco helped us a lot who was our server

Food here is very good and the ambience with the hookahs all around it’s really nice. I would say it’s is a fun place to hang out, However parking around the are is limited and be aware, the are a couple of thief in front of the restaurant charging $20 dollars for valet. I have been to 5-stars restaurant where valet parking is not only complementary, but certainly more affordable... I think the same people have a fee next door for self parking…How preposterous to think anyone will pay $20 for a self parking spot full of pot holes and in terrible shape. Crazy!!We ended up leaving with the whole family to another place. Made a comment to a friend and they said they stop coming her because of the same reason. I just wanted to inform management of the location, your are loosing money.

This used to be one of my favorite hookah lounges but now I will no longer be coming to this spot. The overall vibe of this location has changed from chill/relaxed to boring/deceitful.I understand waiters need to make a living but when I am charged for gratuity and I ask if it's applied to the bill and I am told that it has not been applied, only for it to be charged with the additional tip I've given, tells me all I need to know.My trust has been lost with this place. What's makes the situation worse is I would've still given the waiter a tip anyway. If tpu come to this place, please pay in cash only.

Love the fries and the spicy potatoes!! Honestly everything is so tasty. And the hookah is amazing too. It’s byob to take advantage of that! Highly recommend.
