This place is great! Hookah, coffee, food, all amazing. Service was great, and patient with the few questions we had.

This appears to be the most popular Hookah in the Columbus area. What better place to try? In addition, they serve food. Really good food. Today we ordered the Hummus plate, the Baba Ghanoug and a pot of hot tea. The beauty of having four or more at the table is sampling! As you know, we order all our snacks with additional plates. The best of all worlds. While the others were enjoying their maassel, I managed a cup of Turkish coffee. We'll be coming back to split the Lebanese Kofta and rice dish. 07/24 read more

As a customer since Midnight Hookah opened, I have never been disappointed. The hookah is always fantastic, and if any issues arise, they are quick to fix the problem. read more

I like this place they serve good hookha's and surprisingly enough their food is amazing. Love their ambience of outdoor seating with the fairy lights. The only thing i was disappointed with was that they did not accept the yelp check in offer of 10% off any Hookha. They straight away denied that they don't have any such coupon. read more

Good food and good hookah. The owners were very friendly and attentive. The vibe when I went was very relaxed, but I heard that it can get busy. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food is good, but it's way too overpriced I paid 1850 for a chicken Shawarma combo I don't think I'm never gonna come back.

Where to begin... After I openly left a 1-star review the merchant followed me out to scream, in the most business professional way, "Never f***in come back here bro!" Which, while heartbreaking was likely the case. The merchant didn't care what occured, just that his little kingdom was at all criticized. He wasn't alone, and (check it off your Bing card) then the racism ensued. The merchant said he was going to state I was a thief, and when I said I'd call the police he and his other employees laughed before adding " Yeah we know how well that will go for you." However they felt about my review is whatever, but it's just the blatant and immediate jump to use the assumption of theft by way of me being black as a weapon that rubbed the wrong way. The irony of them saying "bro" while berating me and expressing how the police would likely believe them regardless of the truth he openly admitted to a crowed of customers is pretty telling. Ultimately the entirety of the staff joined in to express the same theory, slapping each other on the back over the knowledge that I, my opinion, the truth and my life or any one who appears similarly don't matter. So yeah, enjoy your meal! read more

To start off one star does no justice. If it was up to me this place would be 0 stars. Absolute worse experience I've ever had a hookah lounge. I came in town to visit my friend and wanted a good time. Service was horrible, the owner should be ashamed of himself how he runs the business. Very rude gave us bad looks. 100% racist to my friends. It's sickening that a place like this exist. read more

Midnight Hookah - Nuts :) - Hookah Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place is dirty like the couch cushions look like it's never been washed. Service sucks you have to go to the register to order food or drinks. Over priced as well $4.50 for a small tea like really ? You also HAVE to get a fruit head which increases the place of the hookah. The charcoal they use is easy lights which means they burn really fast and makes the smoke taste bad (easy lights are the most harmful charcoal for you) . Definitely won't be back there again. read more

Midnight Hookah - Good night - Hookah Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were awesome and the food was good. However, as someone who has been smoking hookah for 10 years, there was alot to be desired there. They use quality hookahs, but they use quick light coals. This was the first time I have ever been to a lounge that uses quick lights. Quick lights are cheap, burn up quickly, heat unevenly, and they always have that quick light taste. This isn't a dig at Midnight as all quick lights share these qualities. Quick lights always taint any flavor you get out of the hookah. If you are a casual smoker, then go for it. The staff and food were great and the hookah wasn't the worst I've ever had. If you are a hookah aficionado like myself, I would find somewhere else. As nice as these guys were, I just can't give a hookah lounge that uses quick lights any more than 3 stars. read more

Midnight is definitely a favorite spot of mine, and what makes the difference is the exceptional customer service. The owner goes the extra mile to make sure that every customer is taken care of and leaves happy. The place has been recently renovated and continues to expand, every time you go it's like taking a little break from the monotony of Columbus and experiencing a new world filled with ethnic diversity. The hookah's always taste delicious and the Chai tea is especially delightful. My favorite part is the late night hours (till 4AM), which makes it an ideal spot to bring a date or a friend to for a nice evening chat where you don't really have to worry about them closing. This is a good spot to chill with friends, do homework (if you have headphones, it tends to get noisy), or to play some card games. Tends to get extremely crowded on Fridays and Saturdays read more

I've been going here from time to time for a number of years now. The location is pretty convenient to get to from pretty much anywhere and it has suited well as a place to enjoy a bit of hookah while coding or completing other work. I'll definitely continue my visits here either to get things done or to meet up with friends. From memory I've recall rather enjoying mango, strawberry, a combination of melon and mint, and orange in particular. In all honesty it's quite difficult to make a bad choice with the flavors they have available. read more

Ordered some food from this scam through Uber Eats and never received it. Instead of any explanation, they just cancelled my order. Would not recommend. read more

We came here after two weeks of grueling training to celebrate and immediately I realized that this place was not going to disappoint. The ambiance is terrific and the hookah is phenomenal. Hospitality from Rahmi (also known as Romeo) is outstanding and he makes you feel at home. This place just became my go-to for hookah whenever I'm in Columbus. Midnight Hookah, you guys are AWESOME!!! read more

Columbus is my hometown and I'm super proud of it. Years ago, when moved to D.C, I searched and searched for a home hookah lounge. It took awhile to find but shout-out to Chi-Cha on U Street. Erm, Sorry, where was I? Ah, Midnight Hookah in Columbus, Ohio. A great stop (besides the parking situation on a Saturday night) to reconnect with friends and lovers. THE HOOKAH: We ordered two hookahs to share between 8 people. It was plenty to go around. One of the hookahs had a pineapple on top and the other ordered with an ice cold pipe. Now, please call me out on my ignorance, but I have never smoked an ice cold pipe hookah before. This was easily the smoothest, coolest, 'are you sure I'm smoking shisha', experiences ever. The cold pipe deserves all the stars itself. I'm coming back just for that alone. TL;DR: GET THE ICE COLD PIPE. IT'S LIFE CHANGING. THE SPACE: Super cool environment, there's two inside rooms and a huge outside patio. We smoked outside. Part of the patio is covered so when it started raining, we moved under the metal roof and continued as usual. Loved that we could still be outside without caring about the rain. SERVICE: You order inside at the desk and then sit down. The hookah comes pretty fast and the coals are changed regularly and by request. Not too much interaction with staff but the interaction I did have was pleasant. They were totally fine with our big group so that's cool. Looking forward to reuniting with my love, the cold hookah pipe, and catching up with friends again at this spot. read more

The owner or manager named Rami is very disrespectful to the customers especially on weekend nights. First of all the service is very poor and delayed. Secondly, if you come up with a complaint against anything then they just kick you out with the help of their security in very unruly manner infront of your friends and other customers. Their behavior is very pathetic. I would never go to this business again. read more

this hookah lounge definitely deserves the title for Best Hookah in Columbus! ive been coming here for years and it has never disappointed me. from the food, to the hookah, the tea, smoothies and desserts ... you'll love it all. the service here is unmatched and they treat you like family every time you come you come in. trust me, ive been smoking for years and Midnight Hookah is the only place is Columbus that offers great hookah with outstanding service. read more

Very amazing hookah spot my only favorite place to come to with my wife on my days off. The owners are just fantastic and the workers and management have always been respectful and kind to my family and I. I would recommend this place to everyone LETS GO MIDNIGHT read more

Super chill environment nestled in the heart of Short North. Reasonably priced fruit heads and hookah. Food is always delicious and the owner is extremely personable. My go to spot for studying and relaxing read more

This is my favorite place to go when I have money. I used to work with one of the co-owners so admittedly I'm a little biased. But I was hooked from the first time I went and I had to follow up one of the other reviewers' comments about the food. The food here is delicious. Like all middle eastern food, it's very aromatic and full of spices. I've had the meat pies and spinach pies and they're great. They aren't always as good as the first time I had them but they're great. And the falafel sandwiches they have on Friday nights is the best falafel I ever had. A very sweet woman named Noor that I used to work with, her mother makes it. The coffee drinks are some of the best I've had, the baklava, among the best. They don't skimp on the food here. The hookahs, of course, are the draw though. I came here for the first time as part of a company sponsored event for the company that I worked at with the owner. I had a great time. My boss was drunk, I saw some old friends and had my first hookah. If you've never smoked a hookah, it's very much like flavored air. At first I didn't think I was pulling any smoke but then I blew out a big cloud of mostly vapor. It's a thick cloud of smoke but dissipates immediately. The flavor is very sweet, like vaporized juice. It's exquisite. If you're not a cigarette smoker, you'll get a little tobacco buzz. It's very relaxing and a great way to socialize. The ambience here is also great. I can't say I like the Arabic music videos but it is interesting to see their pop culture. Working in that company and coming here, I learned a lot about the Arabic culture. They're very warm and friendly. It's been a while since I've been there because I've been broke for months so they probably won't remember me now, but the first few times I went, several people came up and said hi and patted me on the back and shook my hand. I don't even know who most of them were but they had seen me there before and knew I knew Romi (the owner) and they were so gracious and friendly. It's truly a great experience to be immersed in another culture and taste drinks and foods you wouldn't normally find here. The Jallab, for instance, is delicious and it's something they only have on special occasions kind of like egg nog in America. It's a drink unlike anything here. Kind of like a spiced sarsparilla. I liked the hooka so much I bought one for home and I go there for my supplies and top shelf tobacco. They also have free wifi here btw. It is true about the guy on the laptop. I forgot his name but he's a really nice guy and really helpful when you can get his attention. Once I was there and they had a waitress, who was great. They should stick with that formula. read more

Mmm, shisha. I'd recommend this hookah lounge to anyone looking to enjoy the experience, whether you're seasoned or it's your very first time. Midnight seems to appeal to a wider audience better than other hookah cafes in the area do. The staff is professional, the place is nicely kept and decorated, and the service is consistently of high quality. Any given night, on their beautifully lit patio, you'll see 18-year-olds, college students, and older Middle Eastern folk alike enjoying the hookahs and atmosphere. There's also plenty of seating inside, with well-kept furniture and clean bathrooms. Midnight also serves food, coffee, and various drinks of the non-alcoholic variety. The Turkish coffee is strong and delicious. Feel free to bring your laptop - they offer free wifi. read more

If it were possible to give a review zero stars I would have! However It wasn't possible. I went there before and we had a good time however the most recent time they were rude, demanding, too much few flowing air, slow service, negligent of the people and just gave all bad vibes and killed our night. We bought one hookah and stayed for 20 mins and left. POOR JOB FOLKS. read more

I was introduced to Midnight by my friend who is Lebanese, like the owners. While it is a little pricey, Midnight is something of a hidden gem in the Columbus shisha scene. I've only ever sat outside, so I can't comment on the interior but the service was good (especially in the company of my lovely friend) and the atmosphere was very nice. Even on busy nights it's pretty chill, with minimal groups of teenage boys being obnoxious. Their shisha has been consistently good with the one exception of our pipe yielding an unpleasant combination of grape and mint. We alerted one of the servers and he apologetically brought us a new one. read more

This place is awesome! Great hookah, the service is amazing and surprisingly they have amazing hummus & pita.

I judge hookah places by how it used to be in Cincinnati and this was a bit better than what I have experienced before. Decently priced (16-17 bucks) and the food was ok (albeit a bit overpriced). The decor is nice, they play arabic music on the tvs. We stayed for about an hour, had our coal changed once without asking and once after, so not bad at all. Would definitely go back. read more

Out of towner visiting, Very poor service, walked in and there was no bit of organization. Went to go order a hookah, an individual tells me he's the chef and cant take my order and then someone else who does hookahs informed he needs approval from the owner to make a hookah. So I waited on the owner and he stayed busy with ppl he knew and nobody took my order. Sitting around for almost 10min trying to order hookah. The chef and hookah maker began arguing in a arabic and the owner still didnt acknowledge the fact there was a customer waiting. So I left, hope they can figure out a system! read more

Enjoyed the environment of this particular hookah bar. Still hard to wrap my head around the no alcohol concept. Hookah did not hit very hard or give much smoke, but its definitely above average compared to other such smoking establishments. I accidentally left a tip because I thought there would be table service, but there is not. You pay for everything up front and pick it up at the counter like Burger King. Still trying the hookah bars in this area. read more
