Tried for late not spot and it was boarded up, don't think it's open anymore ---------------

I CAN'T EVEN...JUST...NO!!! NO NO NO!! DO NOT GO HERE!! I'm honestly not even sure how I ended up here (it wasn't my idea) but I thought..."I'm open-minded...ok, let's give it a whirl." I should have walked right out, but again, I thought..."nahhh...it'll get better". I was wrong, which has happened before, but only once. Listen, it's got sketchy written all over it. Just the mere fact that you walk in through the "chicken restaurant" to get to the "hookah lounge" is a good indication of why this place is whack. I will say that I went on a Wednesday night, around 9:30pm, but I'm quite confident it doesn't get too packed on any given day of the week. We walked into the "hookah lounge" to a room filled with smoke, ZERO patrons, and a few dudes who seemed to be working there but were really playing music (the music was the only good thing...but was mostly rap....fetty wap on loop), and a few of them seemed to be practicing their hip hop dance moves. Now that I think about it, it was very much like the twilight zone! The hookah wasn't even good, so there you go. I've given you every reason NOT to go here, so please do yourself a favor...don't do it! read more

It was the first time for me to go to an actual hookah lounge and I thought it was pretty neat. They've got tables and they have an area near the wall where there's cushions and lower tables so you can have a more authentic feel to it when you're smoking the hookah. They've got a nice selection of flavors for the hookah. We had the house blend and peach. The peach was a bit... bland, but the house blend was really fruity, flavorful, and had a tiny bit of a licorice aftertaste to it that wasn't too overpowering. Also they have a four persons per hookah rule. They do have a food menu, but all I tried was the hummus, which was so tasty that you might need to order more bread to finish it off. Some people in our group got some salad that looked really fresh and healthy. Also some had the chicken tandori that looked really spicy but it was really mild and kind of thick trying to cut into. Additionally all the drinks came in cans or bottles. Our server who you can tell looks kind of old, but still has game was really amiable and helpful with ordering things. Service was awesome. After talking to her a bit, I found out she went to the Miss Universe Contest in Korea in 1980! We got there around 730 ish and was kinda slow but by the time we left around 10 it was really picking up! I believe they're open until about 5am on weekdays and 6am on weekends. Here's another bit of info they also have belly dancers on Friday and Saturday nights starting around 12! read more

See all

I love this place. I come here at least one a week! They expanded a while ago, so now they have a sweet lounge! Its very roomy and they have a great music. If you get there when they start gettting busy, the owner DJs! They have a variety of hookah flavors. My favorite Double Banana &Guava. My flavor of choice however is mint. I am a minty person. I have had the food there and it is amazingly yummy too. Hummus is a choice if you have never had food there. Chicken Tandori is so good that I find it hard to share! Yvonne makes the best lemon merainge pie, flan, and i could go on..... I have never had one single compliant to say about the service. Yvonne is very friendly and sweet. She is very attentive and helpful if its your first time there. It really picks up Fridays and Saturdays after 10 or so. Its a really great time so network there any time before that. I have met many an interesting people there. They do have belly dancers and she comes out when its packed. &speaking of do not park at the big major company building ( i believe its a telephone service co) because they tow! They pool tables, Xbox, games, boxing, from what i remember off the top of my head. Oh its bring your own wine there. I Hope I helped! read more

Habibi Cafe - inside... - Middle Eastern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I usually don't give bad reviews but i have to warn other from this place... They charge 10$ cover to get in the food is really bad!!! And the hoockas priced too high will never go back there again read more

The hours are great but service is not that good. Some of the staff is ok but service and attitude is horrible by a sour-faced woman who is always yelling, screaming and complaining to staff and customers. I haven't been there for a while now so not sure if she's still there. She kind of looks Asian/Vietnamese and always had an angry look on her face. The scene here changes dramatically depending on timing. Not really designed as a gourmet food place but more as atmosphere for hookah, music & to hangout. read more

I am here usually now. Love this place. It has the best hooka in town. The atmosphere is awesome!! Great music and service. And the best food!!!! Read a lot of bad reviews on this place, but it looks like they got their stuff straight. PS: Go for the lemon mint hooka!!! Its out of this world! read more

Nasty terrible joint ! The food is just lousy and tasteless ! Service sucked donkey ass and the hookah was mediocre! And talk about high prices for crab ! Omg never again !!! read more

Alright I had to write another one since i came back here again for a friends bday. I begged him to go to a diff place since we hated this place. So I went with 5 friends and right when we walk in the lady comes up and says " I understand you guys are here for a party but Its gonna b a 5 dollar charge per person, you can't just sit around and hang out.'' Wow that's all I had to say, we just wanted to smoke hookah. One hookah is good for 5 people. How the hell u gonna charge us 5 per person. That's why u guys don't have any business what so ever. And while we were sitting looking at the menu and talking to friends the server kept eye balling us. So we all left to jasmines next door. read more

Went in on a weeknight after seeing how crowded Jasmines was. The hooka was perfect, the food was delicious and the service was top notch. This is my new favorite hooka spot in Dallas. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. So it was our first time coming to the overnight Club that opens at 2 a.m. . we tried the hookah which was horrible and the coals were cold, the hookah had no flavor and was over price. this place charges $10 to get in a small crowded area after 2 a.m. the crowd was crazy, fire hazard packed, you could bring your own liquor but you couldn bring chasers because they sold over price chasers. small can of pineapple juice was $3, Red Bull was $5 for a small, cups were two for a dollar. they wouldn't let us bring our own chasers or cups because they wanted you to buy their stupid over price crap. now that's not even the worst part they had three fights in less than 30 minutes and glass was thrown which cut my friend but they continue to play music even though people were injured. we went to the bathroom to clean up the blood that was on her arm and the guy that owned the place tried to knock down the bathroom door to get us out of the building. we wasn't even involved in the fight yet we were treated like we were. I advise you to read this comment because it will save you a lot of trouble. please avoid this place at all costs my friend got cut, I got drink spilled on me, and my other friend got blood splatter on their neck. this place is horrible and it wasn't even worth dog shit are two shiny pennies to rub together read more

Habibi Cafe - 3$ - Middle Eastern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place needs some redecorating!!! However, the food was actually really good!! It's bitter sweet. I just wish it wasn't tacky looking, but the lack of people there could be the reason why they don't want to decorate. Nevertheless the bathroom had random things in there, which is NOT OKAY. Good food but bad environment!!! read more

This place is pathetic! We made a huge mistake going there for dine in late at night (only because Jasmine closes by 2 am) and only found this place to be extremely dirty and unfriendly. There were all empty tables but not aligned while the owner with Jerry curls sitting in corner downloading music. The customer service sucked, no body coming to offer their service. The place started to get packed with Somalian students in some cheesy made up lounge with a cover charge of five bucks. There was a Hispanic lady best known for overcharging her customers, she took our order and forgot all about us, she didn't bring us our food for at least an hour (all we ordered were sandwiches) and even though the food wasn't served, she started to asking to pay up in advance! The quality of the food sucked big time (almost reported them to the Food Drug Agency) the kabob were freezing cold (uncooked or perhaps left over from days), it was stuffed with frozen tomatoes. With all this that Hispanic lady over charged us on the bill! This place need be shut down. Anyone likes Arabic food please go to Jasmine or simply try elsewhere but do not go to this place, they're joke. read more

I love this place...we have been coming here for years, it has slowed down a bit, but it is nice to Come and chat with friend , have tea and hookah... read more

I didn't know it was BYOB! So no drinks we arrived around 11pm on a sat and it was empty only my friend and I and another table with 4 college kids!!! We ordered baklava and it tasted old! No good avoid this place read more

Worst hookah lounge I have ever been. Don't go. The hookah sucks. . And u have to wait to even get chuckle. .

The food so bad and hookah is horrible I tray a lot of places for smoke hookah but this one the baddest

OK, I've known this place before the hookah boom and I've been here so many times. Its definitely got its good and bad. Pros: -its not too big so you can mingle and avoid people at the same time -its got good food late at night (after clubbing munchies) -its open later than other places on the weekends (4am) Cons: -the owner. shes a b**** and shes well known for being cheap, like really cheap, to a point where its just rude -expensive. unless you get some practice on how to order, you can end up spending way more than you wanted to Overall, the place will bring you back no matter how mad you got at the owner the last time you were there. I always find myself wanting to go back no matter how many times I said I never would again. Its a love/hate kinda deal. But you will have fun even if you have a bad aftertaste in your wallet read more

I have been coming here for about two years now and I do not regret changing from my previous location. It is a lot more organized as far as service is concerned and not any ordinary crowd can come in. (Meaning you do not have to have deal with high schoolers...sorry guys.) They just recently expanded their menu to also include fried chicken, which by the way is absolutely amazing. If you can, have Yvonne do the cooking for you. She knows her way around the kitchen and will give me you a delicious meal. Their service is on point and I would recommend comingm anywhere between Thursday and Saturday night (after 10pm). If you have not had a mix of Chocolate Mint and Coconut for hookah, you might want to give it a try. =) read more

Great hookah, quick service ...very homey and very comfortable...definitely recommend... not really busy, but that just makes it more comfy
