Had to come back and change my review…read more First time experience was great no complaints. I went on a weekday during the day with a friend. Ambience was fine service was good and music wasn't bad. Ok so now I went back on a weekend because I heard this place gets better at night with a live DJ. I gave this place 3 more chances before I finally decided I'm not coming back. This place was convenient due to getting of work and stopping by for drinks and music. DJ is ok he doesn't play mix music mostly sticks to one type of music. Food is ok, taste like it was taken of the freezer and put in a microwave. Drinks were ok not enough liquor is ever poured in them. I had a frozen margarita and it was watered down couldn't even taste the liquor at all. Ok now service is horrible. The girls should definitely be more attentive when working. They spend their time hanging around the bar smoking hookah! I've never seen them drink but I wouldn't be surprised if they do that as well! I've never seen anything like this any place I've been. Not sure who the owner is but that's very unprofessional!! The last time I went was my last straw. We ordered a hookah and the girl who was attending us just left the hookah on the table didn't even bother to set it up. If I'm paying for the hookah I'm expecting full service, that includes setting up the hookah. She barely came by to ask how we were doing because she was too busy smoking hookah by the bar. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place.

I came to this lounge on a Sunday evening. There was a decent amount of people inside but it wasn't…read moretoo busy. I notice that a few people had their laptops and were working, while enjoying some hookah. We were seated right away, and our server was very sweet and friendly. She recommended I try the grill chicken wrap, since it was pretty popular. I also ordered the housemade sangria. It was sweet and tasty, but the wrap was very dry and extremely bland. In the description, it says the chicken is marinated in a chefs blend of unique seasonings and herbs but I didn't taste any ounce of seasoning. My taste buds were so bored and underwhelmed. I believe it was accompanied by a tzatziki sauce, which I had to pour all over to achieve some type of flavor. It was so disappointing and I had to ditch the 2nd half of it. The fries were good but nothing to run back for. The hookah was just okay. We ordered a premium flavor, but there was nothing premium about it. At times, it got very harsh and tasted very ashy. They are very attentive though and come around often to ensure the coal is still active and the hookah is pulling properly.

The ambiance is lovely, but unfortunately the staff isn't. The food is pretty good but far too…read moreexpensive to justify the cost. This is easily the most expensive hookah lounge I've been to in nyc and it doesn't make sense. They include a tip in the bill and then expect or create problems for people who don't tip additional money on top of the automated tip. It's inexcusable and shouldn't be a thing.

The major drawback of this place is that there is no WiFi (they loose 2 stars for this). They…read morealready put so much effort and money into the place that it's hard to understand why, and it's the only place on the island with hookah that has no WiFi. They are open very early which makes it tempting to make the drive all the way to the southern tip of the island, but I find myself not bothering because of the lack of WiFi. The place is very well decorated and has two booth spots with curtains that resemble more traditionally Middle Eastern places that have these areas. There is even a little water fountain, and choices between standard table seating and leather sofas. They have a very wide selection of snacks and drinks but no alcohol. They do not serve meals, but there are so many things to snack on that you could hold yourself over until you go eat. The hookah was quite a bit better than most places on the island, except that they do use the round chemical coals, and the waitress overstuffed the head, but it didn't seem to cause a problem. You can request natural coals, but the staff admitted she doesn't use them often and would put them on when they weren't fully hot yet, and then they would go out soon after. Hookahs are $15.

I came here late late Monday or Tuesday, can't remember (aka the place was unremarkable) Let me tell you why: -3 people took our order. All 3 people came back to see if we had ordered or not 15 Minutes later -What we ordered: Coffee, tea, a chocolate crossant, cheesecake 40 minutes later the coffee and chocolate crossant come out. Um ok were you baking the pastery in the back? I asked where my items were. The guy looked at me like I was nuts. I restated my order and he ran away only to come back 10 minutes later to tell me no cheesecake.OK that only took you 50 minutes to tell me....... ok I will have the pudding...... NO PUDDING HUH? OK HOW ABOUT YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE............ A BROWNIE? SURE IF THATS THE ONLY LEFT SUREEEE................. Hey buddy! MY TEA? How about that? urghhhhhhhhhhhh.................. Finally my stuck came. After the "service part" was done we started having a good time. The crowd is young and I was like the only female besides one of the servers.

The space itself is great too, with cool art on the walls that adds to the atmosphere. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for a unique night out in New York.

Nonetheless, I like how all the drinks are served in teacups in honor of the prohibition era. One note though, I wasn't a fan of the music - it didn't match the ambiance and was an odd mix of pop and rap.
