    I have been to quite a few hookah spots in Jersey and hands down this is the best hookah spot in Middlesex County. Pros The team is kind, respectful and extremely helpful. They strive to provide the best experience possible. The owner is very friendly and displays strong leadership in the way he runs his business. The quality of the hookah is great and the staff is always willing to assist should any issues arise to make sure their customers are satisfied. This would be the ideal spot whether you are looking to work on your laptop or just hangout with friends. Cons The owner is overly aggressive in monopoly.

    We had their house special Hookah and it was really good. We asked pineapple head but she suggested it will be sweet if we combine both. That was a good suggestion and that was the staff are knowledgeable. We asked for a frozen pipe, as they didn’t have it she helped having ice at the base and that gave smoothness. They changed the coal and cleaned the head when required and hence I say their service is good as well. The rates are not expensive but they add 18% gratuity by default. Their Turkish coffee was good as well. They serving area is both inside and outside and we sat outside as it was full inside. Yes if you are hookah lover and in this area, I suggest trying their hookah.

    This is a very laid back relaxed environment to enjoy a nice hookah and a drink. They have TVs all around so you can watch sports. They also have outdoor seating which is nice because hookah lounges can get really hot and smoke filled. Very reasonably priced, hookahs are about $12-$18 depending on the type of flavor and hookah head you get.

    I’ve worked as a hookah server in NYC for 3 years and smoke hookah every day. From the service to the hookah flavor this cafe definitely sets the bar high. I drive from Queens New York to Cafe Ra three times a month to enjoy the hookah and vibe

    THE PERFECT CHILL SPOT IN OLD BRIDGE NJ: Cafe Ra is THE perfect chill spot for table top games, biz chat, executing business deals, tea and hookah! On the menu ~ Awesome teas and coffee! Our team’s favorite is the Almond Chai A perfect little spot that opens 7 days a week starting at 7pm.

The tobacco is fresh and meticulously prepared, resulting in a smooth and satisfying smoke with rich flavors that tantalize the senses. The variety of flavors available is impressive, catering to every taste preference. The staff's expertise in managing the hookahs ensures that each session is a memorable one. Moreover, the exceptional service at Cafe Ra is worth highlighting. The staff members are friendly, attentive, and passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. Their knowledge and guidance in selecting the perfect hookah flavor elevate the overall enjoyment of the visit.Whether you're seeking a place to unwind with friends or find solace after a long day, Cafe Ra exceeds expectations, and I highly recommend visiting this haven of indulgence.

    Standards have not been dropped since my last review. In fact seems like the taste of the hookahs has gotten better.

    Having a clean and peaceful hookah bar is what cafe ra does so amazingly. The fresh smokes paired with delicious teas while sitting on one of the coaches is an experience that must be had. Staff is very friendly and attentive, love the house flavors and coal refills.

    Very relaxed place with great Turkish coffee and hot chocolate. Very large selection of hookah flavors and easy to understand if it's your first time going. Staff is always nice and helpful. It is cash only but they have an ATM inside.

    Good experience! First time at a hookah lounge, and it was extremely peaceful and relaxing. Was recommended a good flavor, blue mist (blueberry and mint, i believe), and drank good Moroccan mint green tea. The bathroom was nice, which is always a good thing. Thank you !

    I was my first experience with a hookah, so it was great to receive useful advises from stuff. There are big variety of flavors, heads and so on.

    As a regular, I would never step my foot in any other hookah place in the state of NJ ever again. hookah :10/10 tea and coffee: 10/10 atmosphere: 10/10 service : 10/10 , pat and Julias service is impeccable. If you're looking for a clean chill place with phenomenal hookah , look no further.
