On a Saturday evening, I was unexpectedly looking for a hookah spot so I hopped on the trusty Yelp…read moreapp. It had been at least a year and a half since I last smoked hookah, so this is a rare occasion for me. Axis Hookah Lounge was the closest one to where I was, and the reviews were solid, so I made my way over. They're located in a shopping center along with several other businesses including a Latin club. Parking wasn't an issue. Ambiance (4/5): While it doesn't look like much from the outside, the inside is pretty nice. There is plenty of seating, mostly comfortable red couches. Which makes for a nice way to kick back and relax. There are also some tables if you'd prefer that instead. The seating is spaced out well enough where you have a little bit of privacy. And they were also playing music while I was there. Service (3.5/5): Pretty much your standard service. We were greeted upon entering, allowed to pick our seats, we ordered promptly, and the waiter brought our hookah to us. I had to proactively order drinks and close out, but overall, the service was fine. Food (N/A): I had dinner prior, so no food for me. I did notice they have crepes, but I'm not sure if they have more than that. Drinks (3/5): I had a Gatorade. They have various cans and bottles including water, La Croix, Coke, pineapple juice, and various other soft drinks and juices. No alcohol here. Which isn't uncommon as many hookah spots are Middle Eastern. Some hookah spots have alcohol and some don't. I prefer spots that do. Now to what's most important, the hookah. Pretty much your standard options. They have a good number of their own creations or you can create your own mixing fruit flavors, mint, etc. We went with one of the creations and hung around for about an hour or so. The price of the hookah was reasonable. I'd return.

Our first several visits to Mayan Hookah Lounge were honestly great. The service was attentive, the…read morefood was good, and we appreciated being able to choose the music, which made the atmosphere enjoyable. That's why we kept coming back, we visited over 20 times because we genuinely liked the place. Unfortunately, over time the experience changed. As the staff changed, so did the level of customer service. The consistency just wasn't there. Some visits were enjoyable, while others felt disorganized, and the staff sometimes came across as argumentative rather than customer-focused. The visit that ended it for us involved a new server who insisted we leave a credit card to keep on file. In more than 20 previous visits, we had never once been asked to do that. We politely explained that this had never been the policy during any of our prior visits and declined. After that conversation, the server essentially stopped serving us. She ignored our table, relied on other employees to assist us, and even made us wait to pay because she refused to help. It made us feel unwelcome and as though our business no longer mattered. We understand that businesses can update their policies, but those changes should be communicated respectfully and enforced consistently. If the policy had truly changed, a simple explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, we were treated differently because we asked questions. It's unfortunate because we really enjoyed this place in the beginning. However, one negative experience can outweigh many positive ones, especially when it leaves you feeling unwelcome. We won't be returning, and we hope management takes customer service and consistency seriously so future guests have a better experience.

They only had outdoor seating but there are misters and fans so it was fine. The music was 10/10 rap and hip hop throwbacks and newer songs. Definitely a vibe. Saw people out for girls night, dates, and friend groups. Everyone was having a great time and just having fun. Didn't try any food, but the hookah itself was yummy and lasted awhile. We got an ice hose which died out quickly since we were outside but it's okay. The server was friendly and they came around to check on the coals often, we didn't have to flag anyone down. This place also has bottled water, for fellow water snobs in the area :)

For someone who doesn't smoke, I feel comfortable hanging out here for a while. I frequent many establishments in the greater Phoenix area to read and socialize but this café has an exceptionally warm yet lively atmosphere. There's a particular sublime effect upon entering because you wouldn't guess from the plaza outside the ambience within. I think what adds to this too is that the half dozen staff I've met within the last couple months have very inviting but not intrusive personalities. One can assume thorough training and standards by leadership.

Their shisha selection is next level, with options to upgrade your experience with fruit bowls, ice tips, flavored tips, and more--it really elevates the whole session. They also have tons of different snacks and a great selection of both cold and hot drinks available. During my first visit, I met Devin, a Shisha Master, and he walked me through the whole process. His recommendations were spot on, and his customer service was a solid 10/10. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with relaxed music, a great atmosphere, and top-tier hookah, you definitely need to check this place out!

And because I had not tried any spots out since my return to Phoenix, we decided to use Yelp to find this place. As hookah lounges go, I found this one to be super chill, but pretty spacious and accommodating. Service was on point, as we got to the location after 10 P.M. and were still properly greeted and served as soon as we walked in. It is a self seat environment with multiple lounges and TVs. Some of the TVs even have PlayStation and Xbox set up on it if that's your thing. My homeboy actually played a little bit of FIFA with somebody that was already hanging out while we sat there and talked for a while. They have a wide selection of drinks, juices and sodas, but I didn't see any food selection, so I would definitely prepare accordingly. Overall, if I am interested in having a bit of hookah, this is probably the place I would try out again.
