Such a cool vibe and wonderful staff a great owner. Music is varied and fits the vibe.

Went for a belly dancing contest. It was fun. The service is a little slow but it was a busy event for a sunday late afternoon. All tables had a reserved sign but they still sit you at the tables. No alcohol as it is byob for 7 per person. We did not order food but we did get a hookah. Hookah on Sunday are starting at 39.99. If you look for a good Hookah spot, come to Cairo but beside Hookah not much else to do. read more

Cool place as far as ambience and music however the food and service unfortunately was not as expected. The food took a long time to get to our table and the quality of food not as advertised and it was very average. Hopefully in the future they will work on improving the quality food and service as the establishment itself it's very cute cozy vibes hooka lounge. read more

The owner of this establishment heavily discriminates against his customers Example 1: I come in one day with a hat on he tells me no hat I remove my hat and enter the lounge just to see someone with the exact same hat Example 2: I purchased a hookah after being seated and asked if I had more people coming I advised my waitress I had two friends coming 5 mins later my friends walk in and the owner approaches the table were I'm sitting and says he seated people were my friends are going to sit I tell him my friends are at the door I get up to go get them he walks up to me and them tells the two ladies they smell like marijuana and to go to the car and freshen up they go out side do that I come back in my table were I was sitting was given away along with my hookah I asked for a refund that didn't happen Final example: I come into the establishment with a Stanley cup filled with water owner tells me I can't have it in the building as I'm getting up the owner rushes me out the door to put it in the car I come back in the building sat down 15 min later a gentleman of the same race of the owner sits next to me with the same Stanley cup with water in it I asked him about it and told him what happened he advised me he is a regular so the own gives him and his other regulars a break when it comes to thing of this nature The owner isn't racist I'm not saying that at all but if this is going to be a choice of somewhere to go on a weekend and weekday there are other lounges around the immediate area with better prices and better hookahs read more

Best hookah lounge i have ever been to. The service alone was the reason to go, the food wasn't bad, but the service was that of a luxury experience. read more

Great place for good music and hookah. I haven't had the food there but their hookah always hits the spot. They have a good mix of songs that make you want to dance. They used to have a small dance floor, but on our last trip there they put in additional seating. The staff was nice enough to move some of it out of the way and create a small space for me and my friends to dance since the area wasn't being used and they weren't packed. It's BYOB. read more

Very expensive . Hookah is not good . Its not good place for a night out ..... literally 0 customer service

A $4.40 tip on the cover charge??? Without letting me know? I'm so ticked. Never again! Stay away from this place. Anyone who feels the need to sneak in charges will never get any more of my money. Search the reviews for the word 'tip', they've been doing this for a minute. read more

I absolutely love this lounge. It has an amazing overall vibe and atmosphere...not only is it fun, but it's also super relaxing. The Egyptian themed decor is one of a kind. The hookah here is one of the best. It's very smooth and flavorful. The food is great and the staff are all friendly and attentive. I highly recommend! read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've been to different hookah lounges in different cities and here in Dallas and this bar far is the BEST! GREAT PRICES, friendly staff and great ambiance! Don't go anywhere else, this is THE HOOKAH LOUNGE in Dallas! read more

This place has the slowest service I've seen in my life, my friend and I ordered 2 plates of wings and they only gave us 1 order of wings. After an hour later the second order came out. They will tip themselves then expect you to tip as well! The waiter or owner constantly tried to neg me about "smiling more" and "why are you not happy" how is this professional???? On our way out, the same man (I'm assuming the owner) chases us outside and accuses us of not paying for an extra Red Bull that we didn't order. We told him we only had 1, he checks with the waiter and we were correct! He rolls his eyes and scoffs at us. No apology, no professionalism and no decent service. First and last time there. read more

I've went to a couple different hookah lounges and this is the best in the area!! Great variety of music from alllll genres, good Buffalo wings, BYOB, attentive staff, great DJ! Belly dancing on Friday nights! Awesome atmosphere and great vibes!!! Great flavors and prices of hookah! read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Good vibes! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

There's so many good things about this place! First, the place is just the right size, not too big, not too small, but even on their most crowded nights, which seem to be Saturdays and Sundays, they always make room for any and everybody. Now, this is a hookah spot and they definitely live up to that and you can tell by the menu. It's so many flavors, it's craziness! I mean a FULL page. I'm a huge fan of Double Apple, that's the only flavor I've gotten when I've gone. It relaxes you in the best way possible, real smooth, great taste! Oh yeah, BTW...BYOB! However much you need, a lot or a little. And if you forget, there's tons of places around Cairo to pick up adult beverage. I really like Cairo though...great customer service, all of the staff is friendly, funny, make sure you're taken care of at all times and it's just an all around chill spot. read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Great hookah.. amazing DJ AND SUPER COMFY CHAIRS! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Hookah is terrible for the ridiculous price that is charged it is very ashy and just not clean I expected the hookah to be of better quality for the price. The atmosphere is alright but be ready to scream just to talk to someone sitting across from you at the table as the music is blasted to a volume that is very unpleasant to say the least.; especially on the weekends you would be better texting each other . The service is very sub par they will make you wait for hookah and food for a long time. The tip is also automatically added to the bill 18% -20% regardless of the number of people at your table also look at your receipt carefully they have a tendency to overcharge SAVE YOUR MONEY YOUR EARS and YOUR VOICE and go somewhere else in Dallas and the owner is willing to argue with you and not listen even if you tell him that something isn't right this is one place in Dallas where "Customer is not always right" read more

Love the vibe at this place! Great hookah flavor selection and the DJ is awesome every time I visit!

The atmosphere here is cool. If you're looking to go somewhere chill where you can smoke hookah and bring your own bottle then this is the spot for you but just expect to spend a lot of money. I brought my cousin here last year and that's the last time I've been because I felt like I was ripped off. I was charged over $50 for 2 people one hookah and we brought some wine smh. read more

Man oh man...I drove around Dallas looking for a good hookah spot to chill at. Went to 2-3 places before I found Cairo. Absolute great vibes. At first I said they were not playing any Trap but I spoke too soon. The DJ was just warming up. He played a variety of music all night. Great customer service. The best that I have had in all my travels. They have a BYOB service and everyone was having a good time. I ordered a hookah that was not on the menu and the guys nailed it. They asked what do I know about Pan...but they brought my mix out without hesitation. The Turkish coffee was delicious. Wish I had not eaten before my arrival so that I would have tasted the food but the hookahs alone were great. If you are ever in Dallas I would highly recommend Cairo. Did I mention the customer service? Did not have to ask for my refill or coals to be turned. They guys were on top of it and very accommodating. Any hookah lounge owner would be pleased with the service. Hats off to the manager Afshin, the owners and hookah guys. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Special mixes. But not my mix . Definitely ask for your mix if it's not on the menu. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This establishment allows patrons to freely scream the "n word" with numerous black patrons in house. 3 groups complained to management including my group of 5. Management came to ask what was going on when we started arguing with them and we explained the situation and he told us to chill out. NO we will not chill out. Let us call out a racial slur that offends them and see how they feel. This is ridiculous, last time coming to this racist place. Beware! You've been warned read more

Love it here. Food is so good and different options if Halal isn't your thing. Belly dancing on weekends, chill and more quiet on weekdays. I see people act up or try to manipulate and those same people complain and leave bad reviews like they did nothing wrong. I always go in w good behavior and order food/drinks; always treated well in response. read more

Never returning... food was ordered an hour in advance apparently the server forget and even asked to check ignored us the whole night..server tipped herself without telling us the tab and didn't give us a receipt until asked for how the hell are we supposed to know what we're paying for (yes the server with the long black hair) asked multiple times to change the hookah but still got charged for a burnt choking hookah. If y'all don't want to do the damn job than quit. Don't have us paying the price for y'all bad ass attitude. -.- terrible. read more

Owner was so rude. Pricing for byob is crazy! Bathrooms were dirty. Staff was nice, bouncer was super helpful. read more

We're new to Dallas and wanted a space to chill and smoke hookah. We found CAIRO via google maps and decided to give it a try. Because it was a Saturday night it cost $10 to get in. We were told it was because of the live DJ..ok whatever no big deal. It's a BYOB establishment (which we didn't know before going) so we walked to the gas station next door and purchased some beer) Upon returning we paid our $10 (each) and proceeded to drink and smoke hookah. Honestly the hookah is a bit pricey in my opinion I've been to Mediterranean style hookah lounges in Houston and paid for the same Thing for less than $20.00. What I had the most problem with was the coals. They were awful and only lasted 4-7 min. I mean two puffs and it's a wrap. Don't get too comfy because right when the hookah is perfect BAM; coals are done! Anyway we stayed for awhile; they had a live belly dancer which was cool and the DJ was good. We're going to check out some other local hookah spots before we return there. read more

By far has been one of my favorite hookah lounges to experience here in Dallas, the managers and owner has always taken care of me every single time that I've come in. I've been coming here for about five years started from traveling from out of town to officially moving to Dallas and every time even with the renovation is an amazing experience. They have always made sure to take care of me and my parties coming in. I would say the last sisters that I had some guys try to take over my table and put me in a really uncomfortable setting being here with a friend and the manager/owner still handled everything very professionally. One speaking to the owner about the situation he definitely handled the situation in correctly and I was very satisfied and I will still continue to come back. I've always personally came for the live music videos playing during the DJ sessions to the belly dancers in act, Great atmosphere amazing food bomb focus it's a top it off it's BYOB Thank you for treating me like family read more

Having visited hookah bars in a dozen countries, I can safely call Cairo a model for the world. Their hookahs are clean, well cared for, and beautifully mixed. The attention to quality is evident in every detail, down to the flat, lip-shaped mouthpieces they provide. The food menu they bring in from Mezza Cafe next door is perfect. Hummus is just the right amount of creamy, the pita comes out warm, and meat is cooked to perfection. Service time is as good as one could hope for. DJ D-Train tears it up on weekends with sweet mixes of current music as well as some clutch 90's throwbacks. The biggest mystery to me is that even while the bass is pounding, you don't have to yell to hear each other talk. The acoustics are great and most hookah bars that play music fail miserably to pull this off. Oh, and people dance. Macarena, cupid shuffle, Eiffel 65... it's happening. In addition to the huge number of food items, coffee/tea drinks, and hookah offerings, they also have virgin cocktails. They also allow BYOB/BYOW so you can avoid outrageous bar prices: just remember to bring the receipt with you. I've also enjoyed coming in for pots of tea and happy hour hookahs on telecommute days: free WiFi! Never a bad time to visit. Cairo is THE hookah bar to visit in the Dallas metroplex. read more

Ok, so I don't get out much. Being a mom will do that to you. And I haven't been to a hookah place since I lived in Washington, DC. So when I saw this place online, I had no idea what to really expect. My husband and I went there for date night, and when we pulled into the parking lot, I was pretty nervous. The outside looks like a hole in the wall. I heard music playing loudly, and I thought, "oh my goodness, what am I getting myself into?" When we walked in, we were greeted with a very LARGE, extremely inviting environment. Big, oversized leather couches, smiling staff, nice lighting, and amazing Egyptian decor. We were pleasantly surprised. We got seated in a private room in the back that quickly filled up. They have large tvs on opposite walls and we were able to watch the NBA playoffs, so that was definitely a plus. This brings me to the HOOKAH. It was FANTASTIC. Of course, Al Fakher Double Apple is the hookah of choice. Absolutely AMAZING. We tried the "ice tube" which cools the smoke down. Equally FANTASTIC. The staff is very attentive. They replace the coals for you, make sure everything is still flowing well. If it gets too harsh, you can just ask them to refresh it for you-- and they do. Good as new. I ordered some food as well... SO GOOD. This place is wonderful. The staff is amazing, the owner is so cool, the food is delicious, and the hookah is EXCELLENT. This place is sure to become one of our regular spots. read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Great service. Low key chill hang out. BYOB. Great tasting hookahs and good food. Was thrilled to see one of my favorite DJs (DTrain) mixing here. The couches have seen better days and its a very casual place, so don't dress up. The food is served on disposable plates and the staff is very nice and helpful. This is def a place alot of college students frequent. Oh and it is BYOB!! read more

I don't do a lot of hookah, but when I do, it's here . This is a hidden gem in Richardson . Location: It's in a strip mall sort of setting . There are other restaurants and knick knack stores in the area . Ambience: Very chill and laid back . There are tons of sofas all over to just sit back and relax to get your hookah on! The place was super packed by the time we got there at 11pm. We had to wait a bit for our group, but we were taken care of pretty quickly. The Hook-ah: This place has so many flavors of hookah, it will blow your mind! I've never seen this many flavors ! I went there to celebrate a friend's birthday, but this was my second time going . We ordered the Apple hookah , and it was so flavorful and fun! The waiter also ordered us a special mixture , but we had to ask him to weaken it ...LOL! It was way too strong , which took away some of the enjoyment . BTW, this place is BYOB, so feel free to bring your favorite spirits with you . They will have everything you need for your drink , including their own drink mixes . Sounds: The music is mostly techno, but they play a bit of hip hop mixed in or they will just play hip hop for an hour or so . Still, a very good time! If you're looking for something different to do , I highly suggest going ! read more

The absolute best place to go for Hookah! The service is excellent as well as everything else. When traveling I always find myself comparing other lounges to Cairo, truely a top notch place. It gets busy yes and that makes some have to wait but trust that this is far better smoke and experience than any of the other places around. read more

Cairo Hookah Lounge - Cairo is the best in town for hookah or food amazing environment !!!! Comin here for 5 years - Hookah Bars Near Me - Richardson, Texas

BYOB! Went on a Saturday night and had a very nice time with husband. We bought a growler of beer next door and took it over to this hookah lounge. We don't frequent hookah lounges often but this place plays good music, nice crowd and decent flavors with average prices. We were seated on a nice little couch and got to people watch and enjoy ourselves. Nice place to go if you are wanting to step out but not hit the bars. Major plus that I can bring beer that I love! There is a $10 cover charge though. Wompwomp. read more

Cairo has got to be one of my favorite hookah lounges! The staff are so friendly and the bouncer had my back without my friends even asking if someone was bothering us. They had great music with a live DJ! Overall the vibe is great! Will definitely be back with more friends! There is a cover charge of $10 at the door. But also it is BYOB. They do serve food if you have an appetite. Will have to check that out one day. read more

Not a bad place. Plenty of seating (tons of couches) and the prices seemed reasonable. We had three hookahs and its BYOB, so if you feel the hookah prices are high, just think of money you save by not buying drinks at inflated prices. They had a DJ, so the music was cranked up. They had random music videos (some middle eastern, some indian, etc) so that was a fun source of entertainment, especially when you have NO clue what the videos are. Staff is very attentive, making sure the coals are hot and the hookahs are running well. They pack the tobacco really well, none of our hookahs died the whole night. They have a large variety of flavors as well. Good place for a large group of friends to hang out and have some hookah. read more

Awesome place!!! Went there and decided to get a hookah for my home as well !! Weekends r great at Cairo

Very unprofessionally made hookah. I smoke a lot of hookah and I know when I am served bad quality hookah. First of all, they used self lighting charcoal tablets on my hookah. But I saw other customers being served normal coal. Service was slow and inattentive. When asked to change coal, they initially refused, saying that the tobacco is no longer good. I know when it's time to change the head. No need to force me. Never going back again! read more
