    Hooka n tea
    Farhana H.

    Inside is very nice. Hooka and tea. Relaxful place. Many tv available. Sofa seats comfortable. Husband says hookah not bad (4/5 star(. Service is good. Decor is 9/10. Nicely done from cieling to floor. No alcohol, sorry. Halal spot. Parking can be hard: warhing. Hit up if looking for a nice halal relaxing lounge, which is rare nowadays. Very clean

    Nice place. Nice decor. Decent prices and good selection of exotic hookah flavors. Hookah is strong, though so be careful!

    How old do you have to be to get a Hookah?

    21+

    Be warned, though, there is no alcohol (not a dealbreaker to me) and they will ID you at the door if they don't know who you are (it's 21+).

They charge a ridiculous covid fee on top of a mandatory gratuity. The margarita didn't taste like a margarita at all and was disgusting. The hookah was pricey because they use the freezable ice hose which gives a smoother pull. The hookah was cool but that's about it. The base in the speakers was terrible and gave me a headache instantly. I probably lost some hearing at how disgustingly loud the music was for such a small space. They keep your I.D and when I asked why, the security stated that that's their policy. That's not a good enough answer!!!!!!! My I.D. went from the security guard, to the guy who sat me at the table, to behind the bar, and was giving to me by a girl behind the bar after I paid my bill. With Covid going around, that's too many hands touching my I.D, not to mention the safety issue of all these people in possession of my drivers license. Identity fraud happens everyday with something as simple as somebody having sensitive information like your name, address, date of birth, and drivers license number. This place is ghetto and a complete rip off!!!!!!! Complete trash!! Save your money!!!!!!

    Great Lebanese restaurant with middle eastern/Lebanese/Palestinian/Egyptian staples…read more This spot has shawarma, kebabs, hummus, tabouleh, meat and vegetable pies, tons of fresh salads (some vegetarian, some with meat), falafel, gyro, and more. We had: The chicken kebab--huge, juicy pieces of chicken full of fragrant spice. It comes with a side of your choice--I had the grilled zucchini, which was just the right level of firm and well seasoned. The shawafel--something we've never seen before (and we eat a lot of this type of food). It's a wrap chocked full of shawarma and falafel. Crispy falafel, moist chicken, tons of spice and fresh veggies. My husband loved it. We also got their spicy hummus with jalapeño and cilantro. It was good, but wasn't as spicy or flavorful as I thought it would be. We got the fried cauliflower with tomato and garlic. It wasn't heavy or greasy and they veggies really brightened it up. Delish. We also had their bread pudding and kunafah. The bread pudding was silky and creamy inside with a mild crisp on the outside. The kunafah is a Palestinian cheese pastry in syrup, so a little sweet and a little savory. Great spot with an expensive menu. Will definitely try more from them.
