    Nara is a hookah lounge that serves delicious Mediterranean food. The atmosphere is very chill. It's always busy there in the evening. People who work there are great! They are very diligent and nice. Not recommended for kids.

    It took a while to find anyone who worked here but once we were seated the service was good. They have an awesome menu to choose from and the majority of people are visiting just for hookah. I shared the Sahara Skewer plate with a friend which I would definitely order again!

    May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you, my Muslim brothers and sisters, I am your sister in Islam. I asked the Sheikh for help, but he refused to help us. Where is the human mercy? Where is the true religion of Islam? We live in a hotel.

    I came here for a hookah and dinner. I order hummus as an appetizer. I also ordered a falafel plate and the beef kabob. The food was good. The mango smoothie was delicious. The hookah was satisfactory. Good experience overall.

    I don’t recommend this place. The service is horrible and the hookah is not the best. The hookah got burned really quick and no one would fix it. The food is not that good either. The guy with the afro was helping only one table and ignored everyone else.

    This little hookah joint is always an interesting place to eat and people watch. Most people here seem to be entrenched in work while enjoying a smoke. We had lunch which went by quickly. Our server left us alone for some time so we had to hunt him down to pay the tab. If you don't mind eating while surrounded by hookah steam, then it's a nice place to spend lunch or dinner. They have interesting hookah flavors and names, which I did not try. I'm not a smoker. I would go again.

    Great hookah place. I went on the weekend. Place gets pretty full if you arrive after 9. They have Arabic oud player on the weekends. Great: Hookah is really good Vibes Food quality Prices are reasonable Can be improved: Takes a while to get the food (understandable given how busy they were)

    Went there on a Sunday night and had a great time. Made new friends, smoked a very smooth hookah and enjoyed the atmosphere. The decor and ambiance is really nice and music is not loud like other hookah places.

    I went during lunchtime on Friday, and it was not busy at all, so perfect time to check it out! I ordered the “Chicken Kabob Plate,” and instead of rice, I got French fries. It was delicious, and the chicken was very tendered :). I also smoked hookah, and I got the Apple head with pineapple flavor, and it was okay. I didn’t stick to their popular flavors, but now I know! I also ordered a mocha ice latte which was very runny, but the drink was delicious. The service was excellent and fast.

    I did not try their food. Since I already ate, I was there to meet a friend. But iv never been to a place like this. It was a pretty good new experience.

    We're the only Asian table in the whole bar. Loud music, smokey and fun. I wish I understand what they were singing. Variety of flavors to pick from. Good service.

  • 1/5 Amr A. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been at hookah lounges before but I haven't seen a bad service like in this place at all before, good luck getting charcoal or even getting the server's attention, the sever meant to ignore me being there. very bad experience.

  • 3/5 Joséphine B. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered food to take away one evening. We waited quite much time. The waiter did not even said goodbye when we left and let us pick the bag ourselves witout giving it to us so I could say the service was quite strange. The food, howerver, was very good and fire-cooked chicken was good. We saw sthe other clients being served their beverages (tea, soda) in disposable glasware even if you drink at the restaurant.

    Environment is kinda nice and in fairly good shape. Lots of tile everywhere that's the same.. benches and tables made from the same tile (must have been a bulk discount) Some of it is cracked on the table. Lots of fake plants inside. Overall, decent for a hookah place but also overpriced. I ordered a coke, (3.79) and we got can with a straw. No glass, no ice. Ice tea comes in a truck stop foam cup and 2 tea bags. ($5.00) Ordered a hookah...They automatically upgrade you to an apple bowl for an extra 7 bucks. Total $26 for a hookah with a disposable hose. Chicken kabob was tasty but a little burt. .there was live music and it was busy, so we had to wait about 20-25 min for hummus and a chicken wrap. At the end when you pay your bill the server brings the payment machine and stares at you to see how much tip will be added. Just strange.

    They have the paan flavor hookah which is rare to find. It is my most favorite flavor. The atmosphere is pretty cozy they have indoor as well as outdoor seating. The hookah quality is amazing and I love the apple head. Only complaint I had is that both the times I went there they took a lot of time to bring the check. Waited almost 30 mins to pay and leave. The food was great except I thought everything needed more salt. Also, they hold the payment machine in their hands at your table and there is no privacy when it comes to tipping because he is staring right down at you.
