My cousin and I stopped in around 8p since we are big hookah smokers and were in the area...we were told the party doesn't really get started till later in the evening but we weren't looking to party that night. The prices are the cheapest in CT for sure. We got the Jack Sparrow flavor in a fruit bowl and it was BEYOND amazing! It didn't get harsh and we were able to enjoy it for over an hour. The staff there was super attentive changing out the coals and clear out the bowl regularly which we were pleasantly surprised by. I'm definitely returning again and 100% looking forward to checking it out when the party really flowing.

I'm gonna be honest, the lights and decor is nice but the hookah isn't good at all. the flavors…read morearen't great either. the music is the same stuff and terrible. when you do hookah you don't listen to rap...it's a quality moment and hookah makes you relaxed. they should start playing relaxing music. I'm telling you, the music is terrible, it just kills your whole mood. RELAXING MUSIC IS WHAT YOU NEED. It may be 18+ but when you walk in it's obnoxious in there. go to any hookah bar but here. unless you wanna be in high school all over again.

This is to hookah what Taco Bueno is to fine Mexican dining. I visited on a Saturday night and we…read morepromptly decided to go elsewhere. For starters, the two-people-per-hookah policy is obnoxious. I get the trade-offs here and why the business has to do it, and more and more hookah bars are adopting similar policies. But when you're telling me if I've spent $50 on 2 hookahs for 4 people and one more friend shows up, our tab is now $75, I really don't appreciate that. I get that most customers are younger and would smoke 10 people on 1 hookah if given the chance, but you've got to have a middle ground. 5 people wanting to share 2 hookahs is not taking advantage. Then comes price: I'm from Texas where tobacco taxes are sky-high and businesses have about $20,000 of prep work to do for special tobacco-oriented zoning, and you still don't see prices this high. $25 for a bowl is obscene, especially with the aforementioned policy. Then comes the atmosphere. Loud, cramped, poorly ventilated, dark, and uncomfortable. It may seem novel to novice smokers but is less likely to be enjoyed by a regular hookah bar attendee. I also am not a fan of the pay-when-you-walk-in model. The register is up front and you cash out before you sit down. We made sure to walk into the back and have a look around before doing so, thankfully. Again I do get that their clientele may be a little younger and more stealy than other establishments, but it does not make for a friendly or inviting experience. There are myriad websites that will sell you an entire hookah package including pipe, tobacco and coals for the same price as a single 5-person smoke session here. I know he's got some overhead but a single bowl of this stuff pays for a whole box of the stuff you're actually smoking. Save your money.

This place has the total potential to be a 5 star lounge, but here are the pros, cons and…read moresuggestions to gain the extra 2 stars. Pros: Hookah: -good flavors (al Fakher and starbuzz) - packed well - small hookah with a lot of smoke - coconara charcoals Seating area: - very spacious - can handle large groups - unique floor seats - custom tables hold hookah and garbage - homey set up with actual couches - very laid back (music tempo maintains atmosphere -smoothie was on point Cons: Hookah: - not maintained regularly (they come every 20-30 mins), so it's not good 5 mins after they fix it Seating area: - the music can be updated - no worker is ever present, making it extremely difficult to order anything (waited 20 mins to order smoothie) - prepaying seems very unwelcoming Suggestions: This place mainly lacks in service. The seating area being unattended is a big disadvantage. Regular maintenance of the hookahs served out would make this place go a long way.

The music was ok, there was no Dj someone just playing music from their phone, I think it was the first time in my life I heard the entire fabulous album while being out and they played a couple songs twice, maybe they know him or something, strange. The hookah was good and the girl kept changing it out and making sure we were good the entire time. It looks like a chill vibe not the best curb appeal but the food was ok so give it a shot

A nice homemade lemonade would've changed the drink drastically. Hot chocolate just taste like Swiss Miss packet with a stale cookie stick from two holidays ago. Food is mediocre at best.

Establishment is very clean. Every time we needed something we had to go up to the bar to order and get help. I wish they had an actual person walk around to take orders. Service was pretty slow. It is a nice place to chill for drinks.

A very attractive, incredably sweet and attentive hostest. I was surprised they offered discount hookahs from 8-1pm, even on the weekend. We went around 10pm and it was not quite crowed yet, but we were also expecting 6-8 inches of snow. The music was bumpin' but not so loud as you could hold a conversation. The drink prices were reasonable and they offer late night snacks. I deducted a star because our bill did not reflect the menu prices, in which I had asked before placing my order. Management deducted the difference but prices should reflect menu prices. I also deducted a star for a 20% "surcharge", which is forced gratuity... even for a party of two. It's not stated anywhere, I had to ask if it was forced gratuity. We left more than the forced 20% because Sabrina was exceptional. I would recommend asking about specials before hand as well as inspecting your bill. I can see how people over pay/tip. Business practices seem a bit shady but hey, I'm just here for the cheap hookah.

The food looked appealing to the naked eye but the taste was lackluster, cold and not cooked properly. I ordered the stuffed grape leaves. They were definitely not made in house. Tasted like the kind you buy in the aluminum can. Ice cold!! The rice was not cooked all the way through. The rice inside of the grape leaves were parcooked and hard. So cold I had to ask the man to warm them up. If I would have known the man was going to microwaved them I would've just said forget about it. When you are dining out that is the last thing I want is my food microwaved. Chicken soup was bland and lukewarm warm. As you walk up to the front door everything was so well kept, nice and shiny. Lesson learned, all that glitters is not gold.

The bar feels really open and airy, and bartenders are always friendly and attentive, even when they're busy getting ready for evening service. We frequently go for HH on a Saturday around 5 and it's usually pretty quiet at the bar which we enjoy. Great place whether you've had Afghan food, or you are looking to try something different!

Before I begin, I just want to clarify that I am not writing this negative review to be vindictive,…read morebut rather in hopes that Vandome will improve its policies and practices so that people of all abilities, backgrounds, and health statuses can enjoy this establishment. Also, so that those with current disabilities can prepare themselves when going to Vandome. My family and I went to Vandome on Saturday, August 20th looking to have a great time. We were a group of 10. While going through security, a member of our party was stopped during bag check because of her Type 1 Diabetes supplies. Inside of her fanny pack was a glucometer, glucose test strips, insulin syringes, glucose tablets, and a few other essential diabetes items. At first sight, the lady looking through her bag looked at her curiously as our friend began to explain that these items were for her diabetes. Before she could get very far, the security man checking the men's line came right over with a nasty attitude and exclaimed "you have to get rid of all that." She tried to explain that these were for her diabetes and that she could throw out the syringes if those were the problem, but that she needed the other supplies. He didn't care to listen. He just kept dismissing her and telling her she was holding up the line. At one point, he even remarked "I have diabetes too, don't play that shit with me." I can't assume what kind of diabetes this man may have, but judging from his naïveté, it's likely he was referencing Type II diabetes which is COMPLETELY different from Type I and therefore treated differently. People with Type I diabetes need to regularly take insulin to survive and and control their blood sugar because their pancreas can't produce it at all. It is incurable and requires constant checking of blood sugar levels. People with Type II diabetes have more treatment options and may not need as much maintenance because their body already produces some insulin, just not enough. For some people with Type II diabetes, it can even go away with lifestyle changes. I share this because it's clear that if this man truly had/understood diabetes, he would know that our friend needed those supplies to enjoy her night. Instead, he was nasty, didn't let her finish a sentence, and wouldn't even offer alternate accommodations. Ironically, our friend had been to Vandome the week before and the security that night let her keep her bag at the front, which she thought was a totally reasonable accommodation. However, this man wouldn't offer any alternate solution other than saying, "you bring that to that car or you're not coming in." This encounter left my non-confrontational friend near tears and uneasy the rest of the night. What if we didn't have a car? Would we not have been able to enter because of her diabetes? Thankfully, she brought her glucose tablets in, but she was not able to check her blood-sugar throughout the night which made her anxious and resulted in us leaving prematurely. Federal laws prohibit most public places and programs from discriminating against people with diabetes. One should not be excluded because of diabetes or be denied access to their diabetes supplies, and should be provided with reasonable accommodations if necessary. Vandome followed none of these laws that night. If they had let her put her bag at the front like they had the week prior, there would be no problem, but it is clear that Vandome doesn't have consistent procedures for these situations, resulting in a truly unfortunate event where my friend left feeling berated, embarrassed, and discriminated against. Once again, I leave this review so that Vandome's management can reassess their procedures and train ALL their staff on the proper ways to handle these situations. Until then, I encourage all people with diabetes or other disabilities to beware.
