Was looking for a chill spot to go with friends after dinner. Mocha was perfect. Staff was chill and friendly. Hookah was made well. Tea and music were great. It was the perfect chill ending to a night out. OG down to earth vibes. read more

Great service by An Egyptian lady. Hookah was ok but they are open late so it's convenient, cozy spot.

Meh, ok hookah spot. Not sure why it says they're closed down, they are open, although I don't know if the hours have since changed. Pros were they were one of the few places opened in the downtown Brooklyn area on a Sunday night, and was convenient from where we came from dinner from the Carroll Gardens-Red Hook area, and on the way home. Cool decor, with the real old school Arab vibes. This is definitely a more chill spot where you come to have some hookah and chill with a friend and socialize, not a lounge type of place. They played some music from a TV in the background from a playlist, and had the AC going pretty strong, which I liked. There was a back room, but we were seated in the front area so can't comment on the back room or how it was. When we walked in, no one greeted us and we didn't know if we should just sit down or if we had to wait to be seated. We went to a table and were sitting for like 5 or 10 minutes before my friend decided to walk up to the counter to order, but the girl behind the counter had passed by a few times without even saying anything, and we clearly needed some guidance. She wasn't too on the ball and forgot a few times what we had ordered and was a bit slow. She was nice I guess, but just overall pretty lackluster and complacent. Hookah was ok. It pulled alright, but I've had better. They use, like is common in most places, the larger block size coals, but they must have had them in the warmer for too long because they were a little smaller when they put them on our head from ashing a bit. Not a huge deal. Coal attenders were ok, could have come around a little more often. Overall, a decent no frills low key place to stop by if you're in the area if you're with a friend to just chill or if you want to come solo and be in your zone. I'd return if I was in the area and was set on having hookah, but wouldn't come out of my way. read more

Not happy with how my party and I were treated on our way out. We paid for our items using the qr code on the receipt the woman gave us and a few minutes later, as we're leaving, she asks if we paid, so I show her the receipt on the screen and she says, "No, I need to see the receipt" - so we're stuck in the cold, blocking the entrance, while she watches us, and I pull out the receipt with the qr code, and she finally lets us go. Additionally, one of our servers insisted in speaking to our party in spanish - no problem, I'm dominican - but then didn't seem too happy that I was translating for my friends? It was weird. Long story short, if your new system is too advanced for you, please don't use it. It was my first time there since 2019...management must have changed, because I've never been treated so poorly. It used to be our go-to for relaxed get-togethers, and the folks working there were incredibly kind and helpful. I don't recognize the new folks, but I'm disappointed. This experience made me extremely uncomfortable, and unappreciated as a customer. Won't be coming back. read more

A great after work wind down. Mona was an awesome host. Good and hookah was exceptional. read more

Mocha Hookah - Wings and thangs - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I would give this place 2.5 stars. I came here on a date and it was very very low key. In the cut in downtown bk. It's a hookah bar, it was dark, they don't sell alcohol. They do make food tho. The seating was old and some kind of fabric that needed a good deep cleaning. They have a very large tv in the back room where you can plug up your phone and stream whatever you like. All in all, I'm not a fan of hookah, but if you like hookah and looking for a place to go chill, hangout and not be seen. This would definitely be the place for you. For me, not so much. read more

This place is great... FOR WHAT IT IS. Dont go in there expecting a hookah lounge experience. Its more like this place is a Hookah Cafe/Deli. People go there to chill out after the bar or the club... or to even just smoke hookah and use the WIFI. Prices are pretty good. Staff is attentive. This is the spot to go during the late night wrap up of partying. Its really not that bad at all. read more

Mocha Hookah is listed as "Hookah Bars, Middle Eastern" which is fairly apt. Those looking for a hookah lounge experience - look elsewhere - as a lounge this is not. Looking to get drunk while you smoke? Find somewhere else. Need A+ customer service and trap beats? Then get ready to pay $25 for a mediocre hookah - somewhere else. Mocha Hookah is a low key place. Other reviewers have mentioned it feels more like a deli almost - and they're right. It has a deli counter at the back of the place and a couple misc. booths between the counter and the door. It is not dimly lit and there are not afghan rugs on all the walls. Its a place where people come to grab some food (which I didn't order, but it looked and smelled great) and hookah casually. You'll see a young kid just toking while facetiming with their friends. A couple sharing a meal and a hookah for a quiet evening. They play music via music stations on the TVs. If you're fine with this, and actually want to eat, have some decent tea, and of course hookah, then you'll probably really like Mocha. We had to ask for extra mouth tips after they didn't bring enough for the people at our table, but who cares when you end up getting a great bowl for $15 that ends up lasting 3 people for 3 hours? Mocha Hookah exists not as a novelty, or a place for college kids to get lit on a Friday night, but as a place for the every man who wants to toke and enjoy a nice bowl of shisha. To me, that is great. read more

The ambiance is pretty meager, think almost more like a rundown middle eastern diner more than a hookah lounge. In that sense, almost like a hole in the wall. But the hookah is fire (see what i did there?). My buddy is a hookah maestro and claims it's the best in NYC. I found the service to be solid. They knew my friend by name. He had the usual. If only they served alcohol, or was BYOB. It really limits a lot of opportunities for it to be a chill destination. Oh, and the food is surprisingly amazing. The lamb with baba ganouj was phenomenal. read more

Was a very very bad customer service, the guy was very disrespectful what a shame , I order fresh head hookah was literally no flavor in taste disgusting read more

Mocha Hookah - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a diamond in the rough. Don't walk in expecting some fancy schmancy place. The hookah is reasonable and the staff are very friendly. And whenever you get hungry you can easily order something to eat. read more

I smoke hookah every day..... And I have to say this is the only hookah I smoke that hits me hard!!!!! I have smoked at every spot in the Astoria on Steinway and I have a home collection as well... I don't know what they do but it works! The service is always great. They replenish coals without your coals constantly without you having to even ask. Also have to add that they use the wood coal instead of the popular coconut varieties. The food is good and comes out fast! Free wi-fi for customers and did I mention .... Open 24hours!!!! I am there usually twice a week at least read more

Mocha Hookah - Watermelon mint hookah in a regular head. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not a fancy clean spot but good hookah and decent food. Oh and it's the best bang for your buck in Brooklyn Update: went here a few times and the quality seems to get worse and worse on every visit. Not going here anymore. The water used in the hookah base was disgusting and makes me wonder when do they actually change the water. See for yours read more

Mocha Hookah - Dirty base water. Why - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have had hookah before and i must say this one ( simple apple) hit me right in the chest...wwwwaaaayyy after the fact. But let me start by saying..oh my goodness the place smelled like sweaty armpit. The decor is simple, but the smell was off putting. Im not exactly sure what was in the hookah but damn. It took over two hours to hit me. The taste was there but the heaviness of the hookah took a while to set in. At least someone comes around to change the charcoal. The drinks are SUPER sweet. Beware of the almond joy...you may need to follow it up with a gallon of water or insulin. Its a decent spot but the reason its getting 2 stars is because of the smell, the lack of decent table service (the person only came to the table once and was never seen again) , and the utter flith of the bathroom. The bathroom is right next to the counter and should not be in the condition that it was in. read more

Mocha Hookah - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Chill place to go smoke some hookah or grab some food / tea. I tried the Yemeni tea with mint which was very good. Hookah is not really my thing but I'd go back to hang here with my friend. It's one of his favorite hookah spots because they're open almost 24 hours (closed 5:30am-6am for maintenance). The place is bigger than it first appears with a front and back area (& according to my friend, the back is more cozy). read more

The staff are great. Until today the old man who works there piseed me off when he yelled at the staff in front of all the customers for giving me glass water with the food I have ordered for which I specifically asked because I don't drink bottled water... he snatched the glass waters and gave us two bottles while screaming and shouting at the employee like a crazy man. I'm not sure if there's a law that says if customer want glass water then they must provide it rather than bottled. If anyone knows please let me know because I'd definitely like to prove a point... we come here almost every day spending at least $60 to $70 per day... I think if we want glass water, we should be provided glass water. The foods great but owners need to work on dealing with their staffs right. As an Union organizer, it hurts me to see staffs being harassed. I will give a better review once I see the man apologize for his misbehavior towards the employees. Otherwise, I will be forced to get the labor union involved. Thank you read more

Decent food, decent Hookah, bad attendants. Place can really benefit from getting Spectrum Internet and providing better WiFi for the place. If the owner is interested I can get him situated with that a promotional rate. read more

the heads are packed really good, rips. from a daily smoker, best hookah I've smoked in New York. So they get 5 stars.

Good argieleh/shisha (hookah) here. This hole-in-the-wall spot in Brooklyn is a great place to kick it with friends. It's not far from local subway stops, making it easily accessible. The prices are very reasonable compared to other shops, so you won't be breaking the bank here. My personal recommendation is to get a pot of the Yemeni tea to go along with your hookah. You can't go wrong with that combo. I know my hookahs and the difference between good and bad hookah establishments. Mocha Hookah does it right. First and foremost, they use professional grade hookahs, the expensive stuff. This ensures that you'll get the most out of your smoke session. On a recent visit with a friend, ours lasted for a good hour and some change. I especially like that they use actual hardwood lump charcoal instead of the chemical circular discs (which tampers with the flavor) that you'll find in most establishments. The attendant comes by very frequently to replace the old coals and place a set of fresh ones on. On busier nights, such as a Friday or Saturday, you might have to anticipate slower service, but it's definitely worth checking out. read more

The place is very sparse with decor, but the friendly service makes up for it. As far as the food...I've def had better middle eastern flair elsewhere. I don't know if it was the food or the lack of ventilation from the hookah, but I ended up throwing up as soon as I walked out and the fresh air hit me. The hookah wasn't flavorful at all...tasted mainly charcoaly...could explain the sickness. I'm from Queens, Steinway area, so I'm spoiled with good Arab food and great long lasting savory hookah. Thank gaw for the yelp deal otherwise i would've been fuming if i had to pay full price for this experience. read more

Mocha Hookah - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Mocha Hookah is a whole in the wall little place. The hookah smoke was overwhelming as we walked in. We had to wait to be seated and the floors and couches looked pretty dirty. The bathrooms were definitely something to avoid. I would say the hookah was fairly priced. 10 dollars for one for two people to share. The food could have been a little cheaper based on the quality. The gelato chocolate milk shake was nearly 7 dollars and watery. However, mocha hookah is open 24 hours and my double cheeseburger was pretty decent. I don't have any plans to go back though. read more

The fact that they are open 24/hr is amazing, so kudos to that. The food is typical diner food, the waitress was a sweetheart. Sadly though I'd had better stronger longer lasting hookah elsewhere, and the effort it takes to flag someone down is annoying. If you're drinking fluids and need to go to the restroom, you're better off finding a dark alley somewhere, trust me. Those toilet seats fall off and are covered with unidentified things. read more

This place has one of the most 'blah' atmospheres compared to most hookah places, but they do make up for it with the reasonably-priced hookah. Plus, the only way to make this place 'enjoyable' is if you go with a group of friends for example, and you're already in the swing of having a good time, maybe coming here after being out to eat/drink, you're able to sit around together and laugh, etc. But no, this place doesn't have any cozy cushions or nice/pretty lights, etc. Just looks like a very plain seating area with the bakery glass display in the back. Also by the way, beware of the inflated prices on the drinks (red bull, soda, etc) - (just like most hookah places), there's a few extra dollars added to the 'normal' prices of those drinks. read more

Cool spot. My Fiancé and i had our first "meet up" "date" here. They close late which is great and hookahs are priced well. And they serve regular diner food so you can't go wrong read more

Love this spot! The food is really amazing !! This place is open 24 hrs. I come here whenever I'm hungry after a party.

Oh Mocha Hookah. Its a Saturday night, I look to my friends "Lets go to Mocha" Its becoming a ritual now. This place is great, it is in a trendy area, and the prices are very decent for Downtown Brooklyn. THis place is great if you want to relax with your friends and talk and whine about college finals or things like that. The hookah is very good, many different types of flavors. What people don't always know, don't ever limit yourself to one flavor. You can always mix and match, personally I think everything is good with mint. Sometimes it does take a longtime for the waiters to come to you to change your coal, but hey you have to understand because this place can get very packed. Sometimes unfortunately, there are sometimes rowdy kids who go here, but don't let them ruin your experience, the service is great the waiters are very friendly, Bottom Line; This is a great place to go with friends and relax and enjoy very nice shisha Also, there are pre-fix menus as well for an example for 20 dollars you can get a hookah two sandwiches and fries and two drinks, which is very great for a cheapdate! read more

Only my second time visiting. We puffed on the middle eastern smokes, and man they are strong not that it's a bad thing.. I think it's great! Plenty of flavors to choose from, and a menu full of foods to eat in case your stomach calls for it (SN: I have not eaten from here). The Yemeni Tea on the other hand is just perfect. Get the pot and have with milk, it may seem like a lot but you'll finish it. Last thing, put your feet up and make yourself at home like a local!! Ps- they could use some new decor, considering nearby additions to the neighborhood. read more

Mocha Hookah - Yemeni Tea - Hookah Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is getting 3 stars because I and my friends really made ourselves regulars, at some point this place changed. I did a walk in-walk out, I thought I'd be able to use the wifi relax and be productive at the same time. It's disgusting, with all of the layers I'm wearing I still didn't want to touch anything. Please close and remodel. Please. read more

They did a good job of trying to make it nice, but i think their regulars ruined it. The seat cushions have a bunch of holes burned in it. Wish they could have kept it looking new. read more

My husband and I went on one of our first dates here on a whim one evening when we wanted affordable hookah and snacks at 1am nearby in Brooklyn. Yelp didn't seem to do this place that much justice, but we took a chance on a small business...and we have been back many times since! This place is warm and inviting, and always has a good sized crowd. The young men and women who work there are very friendly and will help you right away. The seats are very comfortable, and they have some cool artwork on the wall. Lots of good hookah choices and DELICIOUS food! We get tea every time and we love their gyros. The coals on your hookah are replaced as soon as you need them to be, and the service is quick. We like to get the rose flavor and fresh fruit with our hookah. The music is a bit loud sometimes, but not overbearing. Definitely check out this place if you want a late night hang out spot where you can feel comfortable, relax, and enjoy some delicious snacks and good hookah! read more

Worst. Service. Ever. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. I just wanted a cup of tea and they said they can only give me tea if I get a hookah. I explained to them I cannot smoke hookah for medical reasons and I'll get one of the desserts on their menu instead and they said they have nothing. Only food and hookah. And they basically expected that we leave even though it was pouring rain. Seriously, don't go there unless you want to get cheap hookah. read more

Pretty good spot for this area. You really get what you pay for, it's not upscale or fancy it's a quick hookah spot where you can spend $20 and feel like you didn't break the bank. Be warned, soda is $3 per can! read more

The food here is pretty good. I love the chicken shawarma gyro sandwich. And it's 24-hrs, which is awesome, as I spend a lot of late nights in the area. But all that hookah smoke, it doesn't sit well with my lungs after a while.... Take-out, anyone? read more

I rate Mocha Hookah 3 stars because before this place got popular and mainstream, I've been told that the house rules were a bit more lenient. Family and I came here to relax after dinner and the place was kinds packed. All the smaller tables had been taken and so we sat with another smaller group. For $15 we got a hookah with both coconut and mint packed into a half carved out orange peel. That was an interesting touch. They mandated that every person order something, they just started serving boba (bubble) tea, and being a boba (bubble) enthusiast, I decided to try their green bubble milk tea. Now I should have realized that a place that didn't have any background in selling milk tea should not have advertised as such. Anyway, my order was just par, nothing special. My sister ordered the hummus and pita bread spread, hummus was pretty tasty. not too grainy, and just the right texture. overall, a decent quality experience read more

Come here all the time. Things I love: the hookah, the comfy atmosphere, the cheesecake and the fries. Things I don't love: the constant door opening (when its cold out and I'm sitting near the door), the time it takes to order anything when it's super busy, the water policy. (you can only get a glass if you order food). With that being said, I will continue to come here (while I still live in Brooklyn) because its a nice, no frills spot to relax and get some hookah which is usually all I'm looking for anyway. read more

Nice place , hookah , Good food big screen TV to watch movies And it open 24 hours I love it ;))) read more

Over the last year I've managed to visit this place a few times. We always come for the hookah and their food is pretty good. They have a back room with many sofa areas and plenty of TVs. We were back there on our first visit and it's very comfortable. We actually had a nice Apple Hookah, some Mint Tea and watch a movie we selected for our section. In the evenings, I understand you must have a reservation for this area. The front portion is more a classic restaurant with more of a diner feel. You can get hookahs in the front as well. They also have a few TVs in the front as we enjoyed watching one of the World Cup games while eating and smoking. If you don't want to be around people hookah'ing then I would suggest not coming as this seems to be the primary reason come here. They have an extensive selection for the hookah but we always go with the classic Apple. They are very good at attending to the hookahs. I would classify their food as good but not great. They do have a very large menu so there may be some hidden gems I've simply not discovered. Their Shawarma's are good and should satisfy most people. Their Mint Tea is also very good. Unfortunately the service can be a bit slow and they don't always stay on top of things like keeping drinks filled. It seems I am always pushing them to bring another pot of tea or reminding them about an order I've placed. read more

There are two types of people who go to Mocha Hookah. People from countries where hookah cafes line up the streets who miss that environment and people who have spent way too much on booze and now are kicking back sobering off with some hookah. Their hookah is pretty sub-par. It tastes synthetic. The service is incredibly slow. The place simply isn't welcoming either. The food, however, is pretty good. That's why I give this place two stars. Order their shawarma and you won't be disappointed. The portions are incredibly generous. Their hummus isn't bad either. Also, this place is very strict about alcohol. It isn't allowed. So, if you're looking to have some wine with that mint hookah, you're better off going to St. Mark's place. read more

First time trying this place. Doesn't really look open from the outside but soon as you step in you feel welcomed. The owner is friendly and full of jokes, hookah is available faster than your food. It's a laid back kind of spot, if you're looking to just sit chat, smoke hookah and eat. The place it's self definitely needs some work but other than that it's OK. read more
