    I like this place, it's very spacious, they have big parking lot. Food is delicious! Service is quick and they do have belly dancers on Friday Saturday nights!

    Pistachio Chocolate
    Daniel M.

    Tucked away not far from the highway off 75 and Spring Valley. There are tons of selections of everything from nuts and spices to even candy. Very clean establishment with a nice little round about layout around the spices and nuts that are in the middle of the place in nice wooden barrels. We came for the pistachio chocolate and didn't see it immediately. When we walked to the checkout counter, we heard a patron in front of us ask for them. They keep them right at the register. We opted for the $20 bars and got a cup of pineapple juice. I asked for a cup of coffee, but apparently, they only roasted and sold the beans. We got a few little pastry treats these tiny little cookies/biscuits in like a cupcake form but tiny, and some had pistachio. Others had almonds and cashews. Now, the pistachio chocolate bar wasn't quite the same consistency as I've had before, I can say the whole piece of pistachios inside made for a great experience. I'd gladly go back again.

    Hummus

    We're a couple of retirees and we usually go to restaurants about 5, so there were no other customers in the place until about 6, nonetheless the food and service were outstanding. The hummus was the best I've ever had and the entrees were bursting with flavor. You get charged for using a debit card. The server let us know that the belly dancer starts her work at 1030p and lots of folks show up even after that. We'll be back (around 5 ish).

    Another update..... I enjoy this place! I don't smoke. However, not against those that do. It's a full bar with lots of people who enjoy sharing a hookah filled with a variety of flavors. This place is so thick from the smoke you can literary cut it with a knife. My understanding, is that this is the last smoking spot allowed bar in Addison. Noticed that staff comes around frequently and keeps the coals well stoked. I can always walk outside for air. I do that quite frequently. Specially, as the night goes on and additional people arrive. Just make sure you get an armband prior to walking out Otherwise, it might be difficult to reenter. Just play by the rules and it will never be an issue. Noticed on my frequent visits to get air that they have Addison Police in the parking lot. That's a great idea when large groups congregate for food and fun. Certainly can't hurt! I was skeptical about this place initially, because of some of the reviews. This is a Friday night and if you come before 9 PM there is no cover. Regardless, of how many are at your table, you will be charged a 20% service charge. Period. Advice you look at your receipt and be forewarned when closing out the check. Paying a 40% plus tip can hurt the wallet if you are unaware. This is my third visit and it certainly will not be my last. I met friends here to celebrate! The dance floor is bumper to bumper people and hot as hell! Feel free to dance at your own risk. They do have the air conditioner at full blast. It still stays hot regardless. The atmosphere was fantastic. They have a DJ that kept beat with the mood of the crowd. On a previous visit there was a regular patron that got up and does all these "Napoleon Dynamite" moves. Even looks like him too! I so wanted to film him because I thought it was awesome that he had that much confidence to be different. He was fearless! The patrons were cool and welcoming. Refreshing! I was hoping he'd be here tonight. He wasn't. A belly dancer came and danced at our table. What a treat! It's so fascinating how she moved, so graceful and fluid like. It was fun watching the folks at our table tip her. (This visit I was the only one that remembered to bring bills for the tip). The food is fabulous. It's Lebanese food and many of us have not had this type food before. Everyone had something different. I didn't want to be weird and ask people to wait while I took pictures. Lots of vegan choices which I loved! I heard not one complaint. All I heard was lip smacking and moans of delight. Oh and you have got to have their hot sauce. That stuff is crack in a container! I poured it all over my vegetables. 46/2019

    This was the first time we attended a restaurant/bar with belly dancing performance included. Had heard quite a lot and was expecting more maybe. When we entered the venue, we were seated outside because although several tables were empty, they were reserved before hand. The outdoor seating was not very maintained considering temperatures are constantly high and since seats were below trees, there were ants and maybe some bugs around. Food wise, pricing was moderate. However flavor wise it was lacking. Grape leaf appetizer was a bit disappointing. Shawarma and chicken kebabs were just decent, felt more dry than usual Mediterranean places though. The belly dancing performance was impressive. The ambience inside was good- mostly giving 'desi night' vibes in any club. Service was a bit slow, but since there was a huge crowd, it is understandable.

    The price you see on here is not what is at the restaurant, it's more expensive and the servers are greedy.

    Adult oriented review…read more... Having been an open and active swinger every minute of my adult life, I check out as many swingers "lifestyle" clubs as I possibly can. I love seeing how different clubs in different cities set themselves up. Plus, any excuse to meet new people and play with them is a good reason. My wife had some business things to handle via zoom in the hotel room so I went over to this club myself. I had just visited the one in New Orleans a few days earlier and was excited to check this one out. Of course, there is always the waivers, fees and check in stuff when new at any club. As a single female for the night, they definitely streamlined the process. Single, attractive women that swing are treated like royalty at swing clubs. This club was no different. Once was inside, having forgotten to bring anything to drink, as this club was byob, I found myself alcohol deficient. I had to barter for drinks and had fun making trades. If you get my meaning. I found this club fun, clean and had plenty of attractive, fun and play minded men and women. The staff were all pleasant and I saw nobody pushing nor violating the rules. There was a good mix of ages from mid twenties to people in their sixties. Nobody pressured me nor made me feel uncomfortable in any way. I found four like minded women and really enjoyed their company. I only stayed for about three hours but I really enjoyed it. If I lived in the Dallas area, I'd certainly be a member and spend my Saturday nights there. If swinging is your thing or you just like to watch and enjoy the vibe, this club is for you.

There is plenty of room to dance and also sit. If you want bottles service for those very busy sold out shows, it's more for convenience of not having to go to the bar and to have a home base to sit if needed. Definitely not the VIP pretentious typical bottle service. Otherwise regular tickets are just as great! Were here to dance, right? Staff is always kind, welcoming and friendly. They also do have a job to do, so there are times they have to be firm and they are not about the riff raff. Respect them and the club and they will respect you. ​This is a club that remembers why we go out in the first place. This spot strips away all the superficial nonsense of the typical nightlife scene--there's no dress code to stress over and no "gatekeeper" energy. It's a rare, comfortable, no-frills atmosphere where a shared love for the music is the only thing that matters. ​This isn't a place to "be seen"; it's a space to be yourself. Whether you're a pro dancer or just vibrating in the corner, nobody is judging your style or your outfit. It's pure, unfiltered energy. If you want to dance like nobody is watching with a room full of people doing the exact same thing, you've found home. ​Go for the sound, stay for the community. Come as you are and come to dance.

I had bought a drink after 2 am as it was the last call for alcohol and bartender sold it to me. I walked with my drink in my hand towards the club inside called Avalon and stood outside of it by the dance floor. Then an older man (busboy) came up to my friends and I and ordered us to finish our drinks right then and there because he was picking up the glasses. Mind you he still had plenty of other glasses he still had to pick up. Most of my friends did finish their drinks right then and there but I couldn't finish it fast enough as it was cold and it was giving me brain freeze. He kept rushing me and I told him once I was done I would take it up to the nearest bar. He became super snarky and said I couldn't do that. I kept trying to drink my drink as fast as I could and he decided to snatch my drink (that I had bought) out of my hand. I have never in my life been so humiliated and upset in my life. I bet he wouldn't have done that to a make counterpart. I was so upset I began to cry because I've never been put in a situation like that especially since it was a male and he was so aggressive. I went up to the head bouncer and my friend explained the situation, all that was said was that he would be spoken to. Honestly I don't plan to step foot in a place like that where there is aggressive males especially workers. Deeply disappointed especially since I'm visiting from California and it was my first time ever stepping foot in this establishment.

For one, it's much easier and safer to park here since you either have to use the valet service or the parking garage. What's even better is that they will validate parking inside the club, making the parking garage free. The club itself is modern, stylish and clean. It's also small enough so that there really aren't any bad spots to watch the stage. If you want some fresh air, the patio is comfortable with a scenic view of the lake. Getting a drink at the bar can be a little chaotic when everyone is scrambling to place their order before the show starts. But again, you could do far worse at other places in terms of the price and quality of drinks. I have never eaten here, but if the drinks are any indication of how good the food is then it's probably pretty decent as well.
