    Sahlab
    Sherry Z.

    This place is amazing and the staff is so sweet. They stayed open later than closing to allow us to sit, and when we offered to take it to go they insisted we dine in! Besides that the lemon mint drink is literally AMAZING. It tastes so authentic. We also got the sahlab and it was so good!! Highly recommend :)

    Jaffa is a great restaurant with great service, great food. Mona totally made me feel at home!

    Mint lemonade

    The food is absolutely delicious. We visited here under the former name/owners. The updates are lovely and the service was so welcoming. All good improvements. The mint lemonade was so refreshing. I got tabbouleh and chicken with hummus. My husband got the mixed grill with rice. Everything was juicy and fresh.

    Is this a full serving?  This is what we were served for a few full bowls of soup.

    Wish they wouldn't screw people over by giving them a half bowl of a full order soup. Instead of telling us they ran out they screwed us out of a takeout order. Leaving us with all half full soups instead of refunding us of the $80 they tried to hide it

    Omg! The food was amazing and affordable! As someone who has lived in Dearborn, MI and familiar with the cuisine I was very impressed! The humus was divine. The atmosphere is very relaxed, clean with lots of open space. I was able to work on a Sunday afternoon and have a nutritious dinner! I will be back with the family!

    Terrible food, mid service. Good was not good and did not taste fresh. Service was slow for no reason. We were the only people there.

    I have been coming to Charcoal N Chill for over three years, including before the current…read moremanagement took over. Over that time, I've had many great experiences here and have recommended the place to numerous friends and family members. Unfortunately, my most recent experience left me disappointed. A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to attend a Friday evening event. I arrived as I normally would, only to discover there was a cover charge and a bouncer at the entrance. The cover charge itself was not the issue. What bothered me was how I was treated. During the interaction, the bouncer physically pushed me away from the entrance. I found that completely unnecessary and disrespectful. As a result, I asked to speak with the owner or someone from management because I did not feel comfortable discussing the situation with the bouncer, especially given how I had been treated. To my surprise, I was told that the owners had asked me to Zelle the cover charge. To be clear, I was never asking for a discount, exemption, or special treatment. I was simply trying to address the way I had been treated at the door and have a conversation with management. Over the years, I have spent a considerable amount of time and money at this establishment and have actively supported it by bringing many guests. I never expected preferential treatment because of that. What I do expect, however, is to be treated with basic respect and dignity. This review is not about the food, hookah, ambiance, or service inside the lounge, all of which I have genuinely enjoyed for years. It is about a customer experience and the choices made by management in handling that situation. A long-time customer who has consistently supported the business should not be made to feel dismissed or disrespected. I thought about this for more than ten days before posting because I genuinely enjoyed this place and did not want to leave a negative review. However, the experience stayed with me. Since then, I have stayed away despite having been a regular visitor. I sincerely hope management takes feedback like this seriously. Respect costs nothing, and it is often what customers remember most.

The staff and owners are really welcoming and make you feel comfortable the second you walk in. The vibe is what really makes it special though. Good music, good people, and they actually try to make sure everyone is having a good time. They'll even accommodate the music and play songs you like which makes it feel more personal and fun. Also not gonna lie, I really think they have one of the best DJs in town. The music and entertainment are always on point without it feeling too loud or chaotic. It's the perfect little neighborhood spot to chill with friends, have drinks, eat, and just enjoy yourself. Definitely one of those tucked away gems in a plaza that you end up going back to over and over again.

Like really what can get better than a place that allows you to bring your own booze and food. The only reason I can't give them all 5 stars is probably because my expectations are too high and I wish the place was better kept. It just seemed dirty and everything seemed a little dingy. Also, they were out of our first pick of flavor so that kinda bummed me out a bit. Overall would highly recommend!

It is a hookah lounge with bring your own bottle & bring your own food policy. However, they do have cups & ice in the event you forget yours. I really don't mind this because you are in more control of what you decide to enjoy during your time here. The vibe here is very chill & relaxed. I really didn't know what I paid for to be honest because there was receipt given or an explanation of what I was paying other than the hookah + 3 other people. I did come in with some food & a bottle so not sure if that was part of the charge. It did not take away from the experience itself. I got there early enough to secure seating for my party before it got busy. Every section has a couch & table in front. They area to sit 4+. I actually liked the hookahs here because they weren't too harsh when smoking them. The new coals were repacked pretty often & if not there were various attendants that could assist. They have music playing the entire evening. Although there is not a DJ per-say you can request songs up near the counter area. They have only one restroom so don't break the seal too early!

    I booked a trip to Roswell, Georgia on a last-minute whim to see a show at Ameris Bank…read moreAmphitheatre, so color me surprised that 45 minutes outside Atlanta sits some of the area's tastiest Thai food. I'm a big foodie and was thrilled to find a well-reviewed spot doing authentic but slightly upscale Thai. I came in solo around 6 pm on a Saturday and got a table with no wait, which was a win. There is a small free parking lot behind the building. I had an outdoor concert ahead of me on a record-breaking heat day, so I was trying not to overeat before standing and dancing for a few hours. The menu isn't your average Thai restaurant. It's seasonally focused and a little fusion-y without ever tasting Americanized. (I'm still kicking myself for not having room for the chive fries, which looked insanely good.) There are a lot of great seafood options, and it was honestly hard to narrow down what to get. My waiter was great at walking me through the menu and pointing out his favorites. I started with the Not a Big Dill cocktail on his recommendation, then settled on one large entree: the crab fried rice, which comes with prik nam pla, plus got an extra side of chili-lime sauce, also at the waiter's suggestion. This place clearly prides itself on craft cocktails, but the Not a Big Dill was just not for me. I love dill and was expecting something savory, but instead felt like I was drinking straight sugar syrup. I'm already pretty averse to sweet drinks and had told the waiter before I ordered that I was trying to avoid anything too sweet. I sent the cocktail back to have them tone it down, and it still came back far too sweet. I was too polite to send it back a second time, so I just drank it (probably my fault). Luckily, the rest of the night proved that this cocktail was just a blip. The crab fried rice is an ABSOLUTE banger, packed with flavor and fresh lump crab. The chili-lime sauce brought the dish to life with herbaceousness, tang, and heat. The prik nam pla was good but milder than I usually like (a bit shocking as I don't usually go for very spicy things, but the chili-lime sauce was drinkably delicious.) The overall portion was too big for one sitting, so I boxed up the rest, and it made an amazing breakfast the next morning. I didn't have room for dessert, but I did get their espresso martini, made with pandan-infused gin, Thai coffee, and coconut foam. It completely redeemed the bar after that first drink. I make no apologies that I licked the cup clean of the coconut foam, lol. It was that tasty. Tipsy Thaiger was better than most restaurants I've been to in Atlanta lately. The service was kind, the atmosphere was cozy and small-town, and it was just a really nice evening out. There was one bad drink, but the overall experience negated the one fumble, so I'm willing to overlook it. I'd easily come back to Roswell just to eat here again.
