🫤 Good place to chill, food definitely not the best. Make sure you get a detailed check before you pay, Theres no waitress so the owner comes up with the little cc machine and just swipes You never know how much it was till he charges and when you ask for the receipt there's nothing but a total amount... People often mention hookah, great, good,

    Atmosphere was awesome! Food was trash. It wasn’t the cleanest but I tried to give it a chance with the food and it just wasn’t it. I would say just come here to hang out and smoke some hookah and bring your own bottle. But food I would advise to try elsewhere.FYI hot sauce was expired and garlic sauce had no taste nor any of the chicken or meat.

    Charged my group a $25 per person requirement on food or $15 cover charge per person if we didn't order food, but never asked members of my group (who are regulars) to pay that much on previous visits. There was NO mention of this charge on their menus or at the door and we felt scammed. Our total charge was WAAAAY overpriced and the bellydancing started at midnight (VERY late in my opinion considering we were told the money was for the dj and bellydancer though she did not show up until 3 hours after we were seated!) Food was served in large portions (fair for the price), and when the bellydancer arrived she was great! We had a blast, except for the "extra charges"...

    One of the best place in town, for hookah lovers. Ramsis hand made hookah is so osum for smoking hours. And their service is one of the best key which makes me go their each time.

    Shady, the cost is always changing every weekend, double check your bill before paying - shady. The upside is that you can byob and the hookah is fine. Food was good. Not sure if there is only 1 DJ but Balkan Beats was great - just a suggestion - play more reggaeton and/or bachata (less rap?) and the dance floor will never be empty.

    THE BEST HOOKAH lounge in NJ! Came here because we were not welcomed at all by LA ZIZA hookah lounge (which is a terrible spot) so we ended up coming here. Dana was our waitress and accommodated us. We were 10 people from Chicago and she and her hookah guy went above and beyond with great customer service. His name was Ramsees and the owner was Mother Sam! Everyone was super nice and very efficient! Food, hookah, atmosphere 10/10!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

    As always, it is a pleasure to go to. Nice ambiance, good food, and quick service.

    Had a great experience here. Went with a large group. Food was great, (salad, bean dish) their green tea with mint hit the spot, the hookah wasn’t overpriced and was regularly replaced with newer coals. The staff were very nice and helpful. Requests were fulfilled quickly and the outdoor seating arrangement was comfortable and didn’t feel overcrowded even with a decent number of people. Sam the owner was great and made sure our table had everything we needed. I had an odd request for a lollipop, and he freaking had! What are the chances of that? When you go, ask for the hookah lollipop tips. Hope to come back soon.

    Honestly, it's always a vibe when I go there. The owner treats us like family. I recently went again for my brother's birthday. He let us connect our music to play throughout the restaurant. The food and hookah was amazing. We were a party of 15 people and they took care of us. Plus it's byob and they don't rush you out after you finish your food. It is definitely a spot to kick up your feet and enjoy.

    Came here for about 2 hours for a friends birthday to smoke hookah and got charged a $60.00 DJ fee?? Pretty ridiculous. Don't come here if you don't want to spend money on a trash DJ and mid hookah.
