Hookahs, on the other hand, are inconsistent -- sometimes smooth, sometimes harsh, and not always worth the price. The environment is decent before 9pm, when it feels like a casual spot to grab a bite and relax. Unfortunately, after 9pm, the atmosphere changes drastically. The crowd and overall vibe make it feel more unsafe than enjoyable, which takes away from what could otherwise be a great night out. If you're just here for food and an early evening, you'll probably be fine. Anything later than that, I can't recommend this place as a safe or relaxing option.

I used to go to this place very often and I absolutely loved this place…read more I love the atmosphere, it's very chill and honestly I prefer it darker in a hookah bar than having super bright lights. When I go to a hookah bar I just wanna relax, so it's perfect. Besides that I think they have great hookahs, great flavors and every now and then, they got new flavors that I would try. I would also get recommendations based on what I like and get a mix of a couple different flavors that most of the times went VERY well together. The service is phenomenal and the hospitality is amazing. I learned to love different kinda of music, but sometimes we would even get german music played for us. It was an amazing time every time I went. Pharaohs was like a second home for me and honestly, it would still be I am sure if I haven't had to take some time away due to private reasons. I love this place so much and can only recommend for everyone to go there.

Went here with my friend around 5pm on a Saturday afternoon. There was only 3 other people here…read more Decor was beautiful so we took a lot of photos (mind your step separating the blue and pink style areas) in the two areas of the room. The music wasn't overly loud, there was lots of natural light coming in, and the food had decent flavor and spice levels. Also, the place was clean, we were provided sealed hookah tips, and food presentation was nice. One point I will recommend is that the manager should hire folks who can communicate properly, and have the proper understanding of menu items: my friend is gluten-free and was curious as to whether the tortillas used for the tacos were flour or corn. He didn't understand the term gluten and didn't know what type of tortilla was used. I emailed a few days ahead to inquire about this too but never got a response. We went with the white peach hookah, which was really nice and not over powering. I appreciated that the staff informed us that the circle charcoals make more smoke than the regular cubes, and we were fine with the regular charcoal, it was sufficient. My friend got the masala chai, Afghan burger, which was more like a flatbread wrap (the green chutney that came with this was so good, tangy and spicy!), and I ordered the mango mint mocktail and spicy chicken pesto panini, which had great flavor, and the fries that came with it were alright. The waiter did come to check on us a couple times, which was nice bc most hookah lounges in the area don't really have servers who check on you: once they're brought your stuff they disappear and you have to flag someone down for attention. Also, they charge a service fee of 18% on all checks regardless of party size. Easy to find parking, and they have a bathroom although I can't speak on cleanliness since I didnt use it. I live a bit far, but if I'm in the area I'd stop by again.

It's located to the right of the Planet…read moreFitness, so if you can't find the actual hookah lounge sign, look for the Planet Fitness sign, you cant miss it. There's plenty of parking available, which i might add is free of charge. I will agree with others that this lounge has plenty of space, however, it lacks staff. The layout of the seating is well thought out, but service was be horribly slow and when I visited there was maybe 30 customers. It seemed that there was maybe 2 servers, and no hands in the back to prepare hookahs so the servers would have to take the time to do both take orders and prep hookahs. Also, it seemed as if there were either close friends or employees who were off the clock that would walk to the back and prep themselves hookahs which then caused for more traffic for the 2 only servers to work around. It took almost 20minutes to have our server take our order, then another 20minutes to actually receive our order and finally 20minutes to get our check paid for with card. The hookah itself was only "okay," I'm certain that the packing of the shisha could be significantly better because i've been smoking and prepping my own hookahs for over a decade now. I will say that the selection of shisha is pretty basic, but if you just want a place to sit and chill and aren't too picky about flavor, this lounge should suffice. If management could either add some helping hands for prep and service, I feel like it definitely change the experience. The wait times were way too long for something that would not take a more crammed lounge to work with similar occupancy. Overall, the lounge itself is solid, but the service and experience was sub par.

The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

Let me be clear: This place is a complete money trap…read more I visited this restaurant on July 20, 2025 with a friend, and it turned out to be one of the most dishonest and shady dining experiences I've ever had. On the receipt, the pizzas are listed as $0.00, but then the cost is broken up into "pizza size" and "toppings" in small print. This is clearly a tactic to hide the actual price and confuse customers. To make things worse, they automatically added an 18% service charge without telling us -- it wasn't on the menu, and nobody mentioned it when we ordered. In the end, we were charged nearly $100 for a mediocre meal and hookah that was absolutely not worth the price. This kind of pricing system feels deliberately misleading, and the staff made no effort to explain anything. Transparency? Zero. Customer respect? Zero. It honestly feels like a scam wrapped in a lounge. My warning: Stay away. Don't waste your time or money here -- there are far better, more honest places around.
