3.5 stars! Came here with my line sisters to celebrate our 7th anniversary and we were a little…read moretaken aback by the lack of staff. Our server (whose name I forgot because I'm posting this late) stated that she in fact does not work there and was only there to "help out a friend" ..... *blank stare*. Given the circumstances, she provided decent service. For the most part, we were the only patrons in the business, yet getting our appetizers/drinks/food seemed to take a while. The drinks were decent yet slightly overpriced which can be expected in ATL at this point. The food, however, was pretty good! I had the seafood dip as an appetizer and loved it, and for an entree I had "jungle rice" with shrimp. It was very unique and tasty as well. This is the kinda place I'd come and sit at the bar and enjoy my meal. The neighboring club's music was so loud it was a bit distracting, but alas, I would likely return.

I selected Modish to have a birthday brunch and baby it did not disappoint. Let me preface my…read morereview by saying I was very paranoid that this was not going to work out. I initially made a reservation for 16 people. Of course, people are going to people, and I had 4 more folks RSVP literally 1 hour after I made my initial reservation. So I wrote back immediately and asked to increase my number to 20 (they do handle large parties, fyi). They didn't respond right away so I sent a second request only for it to be denied. So I crossed my fingers and hoped people wouldn't show up and let's just say I did get lucky with that, lol. Please note they place a $50 hold on your card when you make the reservation, so if you cancel, no matter when, you will pay that $50. So keep that in mind. Also because people will people, I asked my friends to arrive at 2:00pm. The actual reservation was for 2:30. Plot twist- I was the one that ran late lol. However, I fully expected for my friends to be standing waiting for me at the door. Imagine my surprise that they were already seated! Because of this, I got a whole birthday girl entrance that I didn't even bank on lol. Okay so now to the service. Our waitress was amazing and I hate her name is escaping me right now. She was very accommodating and stayed on top of everything our table needed. Even when my late friends that are always late showed up, she made room at the main table we had (initially my reservation was split between two sections and people would have been isolated if we remained in that setup). Even when one of my friends had issues with her steak, the waitress rectified that issue. The DJ was amazing, the drinks were strong, and the food was great! I had the peach french toast, and the blackberry lemon drop (i swapped my vodka for tequila though). I will be back!

We were greeted instantly by a young lady named Fatima, who was very pleasant and courteous.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on the expansion! With the current state of the economy, this alone is a…read moretelltale sign that patrons are truly enjoying the food here. I initially called because I was reluctant to order the cassava leaf dish without sampling it first. During that call, I was encouraged to come in and try it. That level of hospitality is definitely a rarity with restaurants. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a warm welcome from Monica and a gentleman (I unfortunately didn't catch his name). I reiterated the conversation I had on the phone, and within minutes my sample was brought to me on a warm plate with utensils. I was impressed! I ultimately opted for the debee with white rice and a side of beans. Although Monica was familiar with the beans being offered as a side, she did not hesitate to get clarification before proceeding with my order, which I appreciated. I was given a 20-minute wait time, so I stepped out and returned shortly after. Before I could even make it into the establishment, Monica was already greeting me at the door with my order. Mind blown! Now onto the food: delicious! The debee was cooked to perfection. I honestly thought I had been given the wrong order because the portion was so generous. The beans were immaculately cooked, and the rice was perfect as well, not mushy and not undercooked. Hands down, a 20/10 experience! The restaurant was clean, had ample seating, and even a bar. There is also plenty of parking available. Tell a friend to tell a friend, Sophi said to come!

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.

The parking is shared with another bar/lounge and restaurants so parking is limited. Staff all seems really nice. Our hostess was extremely slow on remembering and getting stuff. Really wish she had a pad and paper - would have helped navigating large tables in a bar at night (just a suggestion!) The environment was amazing! DJ was on point! I couldn't have asked for a better way to bring in my birthday and finish out Virgo season. They served food and it was ordered around midnight and didn't arrive until we were walking out the door. To this place defense - this could have Been requested by my party so I won't hold against them lol I had a ton of fun and looking to get them to 5 stars whenever I return! I haven't been out like this since covid started so it was scary but I was able to let loose and have a great time. Definitely going again!

My date ordered the bowl. Every ingredient perfectly cooked, and executed! Never had anything like it. I had a pork belly taco & flautas. Amazing! No joke. The pork belly was so delicious & cooked to perfection. The flautas were really tasty, but I wish they wouldn't serve it over a bed of sauce. Doesn't make well for reheating if you want to take extra home... however the overall flavor was good. Presentation, picture perfect. I will definitely return! They also have a happy hour that lasts till 8. My guest, and I came on a Wednesday around 7. I highly recommend to come around that time, unless you want a crowd. Unsure why the ratings are so low. Give this place a try!

We spent a weekend in Atlanta and were in the mood for some reggaeton, so we walked over from a…read morenearby lunch spot to check this place out. We had already eaten so we were just looking for tasty drinks and a fun vibe. We didn't have reservations, which seemed to be an issue when we first arrived. I completely understand that it was Mother's Day, but it was already after 2:00pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were repeatedly told that it would get busier later for brunch service. Once seated, we quickly ordered drinks. The music was good, but there wasn't much reggaeton playing at first. After a quick chat with the DJ, the vibe completely changed. We were treated to a fun set featuring Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, Ivy Queen, and several other great mixes. That definitely elevated the experience and made for a really enjoyable afternoon. The main downside was the service, which felt a bit unfriendly. I noticed other tables receiving pitchers of water, so I asked for some as well. Instead, we were brought a bottle of Fiji. When we asked for the pitcher instead, we were told it was only available for guests ordering brunch. Since we had each ordered multiple drinks, the policy felt a little odd. Adding to the confusion, the restaurant never really filled up despite the warnings about how busy it would become. Overall, we had a good time thanks to the music, drinks, and atmosphere. The DJ was fantastic, but the service left us with a somewhat mixed impression.

The prices are very reasonable, and they also offer a military discount, which makes the value even better. Nice on the inside. Like the decorations.

Also, it was my server's first week, so give a little grace and patience with timing. The drinks were amazing. My only observation was that, like many places using fresh garnishes for cocktails, gloves weren't worn during drink prep but hey, maybe the alcohol handled the sanitation duties *shrugs* Overall, it was a really good experience and I'd definitely go back.
