    Expresso Martini w/Reposado Tequila
    Kia B.

    $24 for one small Expresso Martini? No thanks. That was unexpected in a place like this. Not to downplay this establishment because it is nice. I just think that was a bit much in comparison to other places I've been and paid less. The food here, is immaculate. No complaints! It was definitely an entertaining night. There was a DJ, a fairly large dance floor and a belly dancer twirling around most of the night. I will be back but I think I'll pregame and just order food.

    Lamb chops and beef tenderloin chunks
    Michael Y.

    We are so happy to see Mustafa and his family back in business. And the food is EVEN BETTER. We started off with a handmade hummus with tahini and roasted red peppers and a cucumber yogurt sauce called "cacik" with flat bread. Nat provided exceptional service as always. Then Mustafa asked if he could put our meal together. After bringing us a couple of his specialty shots, he had Lamb chops, beef tenderloin chunks, basmati rice and Mediterranean salad brought to us on a platter. The atmosphere here is electric. There are belly dancers and line dances and loud dance music. Come here ready to eat and dance.

    200+ for ONE bottle of vodka. No thanks, the staff and ambience was sweet but the prices were double anything around here.

    Celebrated my birthday here and it was a perfect night - 5 stars all the way…read more Chrissy was our server and honestly the epitome of great service. Super attentive without hovering, gave spot-on recommendations, and was playful, funny, and genuinely kind. You can tell she loves meeting people, and it made the whole table feel celebrated. Food was way better than I expected for a hookah lounge. Get the oysters - fresh and perfect - and the pesto garlic bread is a must. Seriously addictive. And the hookah? SLAPS. Smooth, flavorful, and they keep it going without you having to ask. The ambiance is very Atlanta in the best way: flowery walls for photos, eclectic cozy seating, great music, dim lighting, total vibe. We stayed way longer than planned because we didn't want to leave. Already planning my return. If you're in Sandy Springs, book a table here!

    Five stars isn't enough for Moustache Hookah Bar…read more From the moment I sat down, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and intentional. But let's talk about the food because it deserves its own spotlight. The hummus was unbelievably fresh. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced with olive oil and seasoning. You can taste that it's made with care, not just scooped from a container. And the jajeh kabobs? Tender, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. Every bite had that straight-off-the-grill flavor that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate it. What really took the night over the top was the hospitality. The owner heard it was my birthday and didn't just send a quick "happy birthday" from afar. He came out from the back himself, brought out complimentary cheesecake, and even took a couple shots of tequila with me. That's not customer service. That's genuine celebration. Great food. Smooth hookah. Real hospitality. I walked in for dinner and left feeling like family. If you're looking for a spot that feeds you well and celebrates you loud, this is it.

It's an all-you-can-eat experience where they keep bringing fresh food to your table, and every single bite was amazing. One of my favorite parts was the fresh juices. They're made to order, incredibly fresh, and so flavorful. The quality of the food, the service, and the whole experience were outstanding. We can't wait to come back!

At $45.99 per adult, it is less expensive than Fogo de Chão, so I wouldn't expect the same level of meat quality. We tried quite a few of the meats, and while everything was fine, we found the quality, texture, and flavor fairly average. The portions brought to the table were also surprisingly small -- for example, two shrimp and a very small piece of salmon at a time. Since it is all-you-can-eat, you can ask for more, but overall the experience didn't feel particularly generous. The most unusual part of our experience was the mansaf. It is listed as part of the all-inclusive menu, and since none of us had ever tried it, we specifically asked for it. The gentleman serving us strongly discouraged us from ordering it, explaining that mansaf is very heavy and that usually Jordanian customers come specifically for it. Later, when we asked again, he told us that since we were already full, there was really no need to order it. He did say he would bring it if we really wanted it, but after being discouraged multiple times, it felt awkward to insist, so we ultimately didn't try it. We understand that mansaf comes as a large dish and that he may simply have been trying to prevent food waste, which is understandable. At the same time, since it is specifically listed as an included item, we were surprised to be so strongly discouraged from ordering it. We were genuinely interested in trying a traditional Jordanian dish, not simply ordering more food because it was included. Overall, the concept is interesting and the price is reasonable for an all-you-can-eat meal. It is also fair to keep the lower price point in mind when comparing it with places like Fogo. But between the average meat quality, small portions, and the awkward experience around ordering the mansaf, we probably won't return.
