As I walk into the shop there a counter where I can order hookah, non alcoholic drinks, smoothies and food. They have a tab open so I can pay my bill at the end. The food here is actually very good. They are very efficient with changing the coals and keep the hookah running smoothly. All the employees here are super friendly and love to help the customers. I recommend the Irish white peach flavor. Try their beef shawarma sandwich it was delicious.

Last night I had the worse experience with you guys. I am a loyal customer, I always bring new ppl…read moreto your establishment. It was myself and two friends there 11/10/2023 and one friend had to use the restroom, we went to the restroom and security was being extremely inconsiderate of the circumstances. There was a line for the ladies, no line for the men's so we decided the men's stall was the best option, after just watching 2 women leaving the stall. As we were waiting, a security guard decided he needed to use the restroom, cool we let him go ahead. He came out of the stall and said we need to wait till he cleans it. We waited, then after awhile she just went ahead and used it. The guard at the door felt a way because she used it, decided he wanted to kick us out of your establishment. When she came out we went back to the section, they called backup so it was a female officer and about 2/3 others that came over hostile for absolutely no reason. I asked what the issue was, she used the restroom and we're good now why do we need to leave. She said she doesn't care and we need to get out. I told her we spent money on hookah and drinks and it was pointless to kick us out, the female officer started grabbing me and I told her that's not necessary, she started swinging on me so I defended myself. They all started pushing and shoving us all around the establishment to the front door, leaving my belongings. My other friend stepped in between trying to deescalate because again it was all unnecessary. Once outside, they continued to be hostile and very aggressive. My friend that had nothing to do with it asked to grab our belongings, they told him no only the white girl can come back in. She tried and they said we have to come back in the morning. I said absolutely not, we need our belongings now if you're kicking us out. They proceeded to deny us and we stayed outside until the main aggressor finally decided to bring our belongings out, I snatched my phone out of his hand and he decided to go out of his way to pepper spray my friend, threw her to the ground then made it a point to go around the whole group to pepper spray me. There was absolutely no reason or threat for him to feel the need to do that. I feel extremely disrespected, assaulted because of all of this. Especially after spending money in your establishment. These group of security guards should most definitely not be apart of your establishment. They're not good examples of good business and definitely push away loyal customers. Good luck to you guys, your establishment. We will be in touch.

Our favorite hookah lounge in SD. Super close to SDSU. Really chill staff and the quality of shisha…read moreis top notch. They always have a go to flavors lemon mint and blue mist. They also offer coconut coals which is not readily available at other locations. It's always clean inside and the staff is good about getting fresh coals. They allow outside food and drink. But they do offer drinks and some snacks.

Super chill spot to come hang out and get your hookah on. Not the flashiest. Not a ton of artwork…read more Not instagram worthy but this place is as solid as it gets. Staff are chill. Came here twice. Once on a Saturday night and another time on a Sunday night. People are just smoking and vibing out. There's two restaurants next door. One is a Mediterranean restaurant and I think has the same owner or they work closely together. The other is Dirty Birds. You can bring food over as you smoke. They sell beer and seltzers there. Parking can be tight. There's not a ton of spots in the lot but there is street parking. Staff are friendly and leave you be. They come around every 20 minutes to change the coals and check in on you. Both times I came there was about 7 people here. So never too overcrowded. There's an outside patio which is the prime location. Great for groups. Prices are competitive. Just about average that I've seen in other locations. Only thing that could be improved here is the music. I'm used to places that's a bit more of a vibe. Both times I came there wasn't music playing.

The decor is very Egyptian and Modern. The music is versatile. From rap, middle eastern music, R&B, neosoul or even reggaetón you will love the music. They are very attentive when changing the coals. In regards to the sheesha they have a good list of flavors. Their happy hour is from 3pm-7pm which means for a hookah is $12.00. Talk about a deal! Yasssss. If you are a college student who needs somewhere to relax and study I would suggest this spot. Another plus is this hookah lounge is open until 3am! This spot is the best after hour spot!

This review is long overdue. I've been a loyal customer of Mina for several years and have…read morerecommended it to many friends and family. Unfortunately, I would never return, and many former regulars feel the same way. The customer service has become terrible. It feels like they only care about your money and have little respect or empathy for their customers. They constantly introduce new rules, and some of their business practices are unethical. For example, gratuity is automatically added to the bill, but they do not provide an itemized receipt, and the receipt does not clearly indicate that any tip left would be an additional tip. As a result, many customers unknowingly end up tipping twice. The security guard, Omar, and the manager with the ponytail have been consistently rude and unprofessional, driving away many longtime patrons. If you're looking for a hookah lounge, I wholeheartedly do not recommend this place. There are plenty of other spots with better hookah, better service, and staff who genuinely appreciate their customers.

Giving it 3 stars because the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. There's only 2 unisex bathrooms and they are often clogged up. If it isn't clogged up, there's no toilet paper or it's just trashed. Sometimes the door lock is broken too and won't lock properly. They have been doing some renovations to their furniture but not the bathroom. It's so gross. The specialty drinks are really good. Especially when the bartender Chase is there. My favorite is the Pink Lagoon. It'll sneak up on you because it is made with tequila. It's like an alcoholic pink drink with the coconut cream, guava and pineapple. Pricy with drinks averaging $15-20 and they have an automatic 18% surcharge on weekends (that is not tip). Food is great. Some of the best wings downtown. The lamb chops are really good too. I wouldn't get the wagyu sliders. It wasn't good. It tasted like an average slider advertised to be fancier since it's "Wagyu". I've had better sliders elsewhere for much cheaper. Save your $30. Parking here is horrible because it's in the heart of gaslamp. Horton plaza parking is probably your best bet if you can't find street parking.
