Cocktails were great
Doaah A.

When my friend brought me and my sister here it was such a nice experience! Place was packed, the drinks were great, the hookahs were perfect, and the SHAWARMA is even better!!! Grabbed 4 shawarmas to take back to Miami!! They don't make the sandwiches there in the cafe but they can order it from their restaurant and bring it to you, not far from the cafe! Took about 15min from the time I ordered and it arriving on my table! This place is nice and big! The employees were so polite and attentive to us and our hookahs (bonus) They even open earlier than the ones I know of! 12pm is pretty good! They have valet for those who can't find parking and there's no charge (no one works for free so please be nice and tip!) We came from Miami and enjoyed four beautiful nights smoking here! Even attended one of their live concert nights! Which was exciting and energizing! It's a bit pricey to be honest and they don't show you what your ordered on the bill which leads you to possibly over paying. I realized after I left the last day that the water bottle they first bring you when you get seated will be charged on your bill. Some of us ordered other drinks and forgot about our water bottles and ended up leaving them untouched yet still paid for. The problem with this place is that they don't tell you certain things. For example the live singer we saw, they never told us when they were seating us that there will be a $10 cover charge to each person. They stayed silent. Even when we called twice earlier that day and they didn't even mention it. Also the water bottles we're secretly paying for but not being told so. The bill is what bothered me the most. I hate going to places that do not provide you with what you ordered on the recipe. How else are we suppose to know if we're being cheated. Other than those issues I enjoyed my time there. Definitely need to fix these issues cause as I can tell from other reviews, you could be losing many more future customers.

A huge surprise while visiting the Chicago suburbs - my wife and I are taking an alcohol break, and we came across this place searching for a fun date night without booze. Hookahs are super high quality, the woman who handles the flavors is extremely talented and came out before we ordered to offer suggestions and ended up making a custom combination for each of us. Great selection of imported non-alcoholic drinks and fruit cocktails. They also brought out some complimentary snacks which were delicious and went perfectly with our drinks. The entire staff were welcoming and pleasant, and the price is an excellent value for a really fun date. Highly recommended!

I come here to Relax mentally and enjoy a great and friendly environment! The hookahs and staff are A1! In particular my (Short) and extremely (Kind) friend Ola Mohammed! She treats me like royalty and thats a understatement! My #1 place for my Lemon Mint Hookah and cup of Tea!

A little hidden gem in Addison! We were attempting to get a table at another hookah lounge but they…read morewere booked, so we pulled up Yelp and wound up here. How lucky for us because this place was just wonderful! There is no shortage of comfortable seating arrangements for parties of various sizes inside so we were able to quickly find a seat. They have plenty of TVs and were playing some basketball games which was great for us, because we were hoping to catch some of the game. They advertised on their window that they had games but I couldn't find any but other tables seemed to have found (or brought their own) decks of cards and other games. The selection of hookah was great. Lots of different flavors, strengths, and brands at various price points. Like someone else mentioned in their review there is a minimum per person so you have spent $x just by walking through the door and can choose what you use it for. We wound up going over, but not unreasonably so. For two of us, we got one hookah, one repack, one coffee, one soda, and one smoothie for $40 on the nose. I thought it was a great price point for a night out! We will definitely be back!

Stopped by to Mo Shesha Lounge today for Hookah for the first time!…read more Very Egyptian Ambiance - images of the Pharaoh on the wall. Lounge has low lights perfect spot to chill & vybe with the gang and the customer service was good. With cold drink like Coca Cola you be set to enjoy the Hookah even more.

This is the place you're looking for. Great selection of…read morecigars, and if that's not your thing, let Mohammed make you a hookah mix. Blend that with one of his amazing lattes, and you've got a recipe for a night of relaxing that is unparalleled by anything you've been doing before. I love this place for when I need to get some work done on a weekday afternoon (cause Starbucks is closed), or for literally finding my chill on a Saturday night. They take everything into consideration, and I could not feel safer or more relaxed here if I tried. Do yourself a favor and come check it out. You will wonder what took you so long.

I really wish this place was good. I frequent a hookah spot in Tinley at least once a week and was…read morehoping this place would work cause it's so close to home. But nope. Place is mostly deserted. Parking lot is small, in shambles, and always has this party bus parked making it look like a truck stop. The inside is actually laid out well and comfortable, especially the backroom. However, the menu is non-existent. Hookah variety is limited (stock more options, the stuff lasts years) and quality is poor. While fresh heads are on the menu, they're not available to order. As a matter of fact, almost everything on the menu isn't available to order. It's essentially basic/bad hookah and canned pop. I get it, the area doesn't have as much clientele, but I've been living here for a decade and barely noticed it. Need some advertising/marketing to get people in. Oh, and open when you say you open. Showed up at 7pm on a Sunday and it's completely closed.
