    BYOB, hookah
    Liliana M.

    Had a great time at this spot. First time and I really enjoyed myself. Rob was great and so helpful. Very friendly. Definitely coming here again!

    I went to Orient lounge last week, and it was a nice change -- a little bit away from the city crowd. We ordered Two Apples flavored shisha, and it was light, and very smooth. Also, I believe they offer fresh fruit heads. - BYO food and/or beverages ($2 charge). - Street and free parking lots are available. - $5 off your 1st hookah with Yelp check-in. - %10 student discount. - Great service. Nice spot to hangout with friends and relax. Three and Three quarters Yelps.

    I am from Seattle and was in the mood for Hookah. This place is amazing. I would highly recommend it. The atmosphere is very relaxed and great place to come with friends and have hookah. Mina is a great host and his staff is great. If you want hookah and a chill place to hang out.

    I found this place through Yelp and chose it based on the reviews. It definitely lives up to what others have said. Chill, casual ambiance. Great hookah with decent prices. Awesome and attentive staff. Clean. Outdoor seating. FYI, they're expanding their space, so I'm sure it'll be even better when it's finished. Definitely coming back next time in the area!

    Byob, blue mist/Pina colada mix, and mint. So chill

    We weren't required to order a drink either, which was nice, and it was also BYOB, which I think is really cool.

Sometime, establishments appreciate service members sacrifice and give a few bucks off; however, the bouncer girl gave a stank face and said no. We were offended by the stank face and said she could have just politely said no and then another bouncer came over and tried to smooth things over. We were still going to go in but then when we were trying to see if we had enough cash for our group to pay I asked if they took card and then the stank- face girl aggressively pointed at the Cashapp sign. She used no words, just grunts and annoyed faces. Then more bouncers came over and aggressively stood there. I was appalled and we all decided to leave since we felt unwelcome. BTW, I was completely sober and our small group of 4 was no threat, so why the dirty stares? I get that bouncers are there for a reason, but if that's the face at your front door, they need some training on customer service. A smile and a warm welcome goes a long way. Also, $20 cover for a hookah spot?! I've never heard of that! It sounded arbitrary to me and shady that I would have to Cashapp it! We would have spent decent money there but unfortunately, we will never try to come back.

The entire experience was a 10/10. However, I do want to say that the manager they have there was extremely unfriendly/unwelcoming and I hope he won't be the reason people complain about this place. Other than that, I definitely would go back!!

The owner always lets us connect our phone so you can play whatever you want to listen to, he rotated it with the groups in the place. Great hookah! They also have coffee, hot chocolate and juices. Located right on South Street so we usually pregame here and then head out later. Be wary of the crowds that tend to be on South Street, usually younger groups of people especially when school is out.

    I'd say Sphinx is more of a 3.5-star establishment overall, but I rounded up for the great service…read morefrom their friendly owner and team. Sari A. pretty much covered our experience and what you can expect in her review, I found the prices to be fair for the stop here -- about $17 pre-tip per person. That includes a $5 cover charge, but they offer you a free water bottle, soda or Snapple as part of the deal, so it almost evens out. Sphinx is a good place to go if you want to feel young and vibrant but don't want a night of drinking. In other words, it seemed like a good chunk of the clientele here would fall on the lower end of the 18-24 age bracket. While this is very much a lounge-type atmosphere, late on a Saturday some people stood up from their perches on couches/chairs and danced in place. It was kind of weird, but whatever. The hookah itself was great. We compromised with the grape flavor and it wasn't ever harsh. Sometimes when I smoke (which is rare!), I'll feel a constant need to cough thanks to asthma, but this wasn't the case here. We replaced our coals once, and the flavor lasted a good amount of time. Things got a little sticky at one point but were later resolved by the owner. You see, I wanted to catch the train at a certain time, so I got in line for the bathroom. It was a single stall and there were two people ahead of me. When it was my turn, a young girl announced that she needed to vomit, pushed ahead of me, and puked all over the stall. Um. I asked for my check and said I needed to go elsewhere to find a bathroom ahead of my train, but the owner told me to hold on and they'd thoroughly clean the stall. They did so quickly, which I appreciated. All the while, the girl thanked her friends for worrying about her....as she stared me down with her feet on the couch and went back to smoking. Seems like a normal thing to do after making a disgusting mess and inconveniencing someone. Aside from that incident -- which was out of the business's control -- it was a pretty nice place to stop for out-of-the-box Saturday night fun. Keep in mind that the music is pretty uncomfortable (re: rap with lots of curse words and weird statements), but otherwise you should check it out if you like hookah! I'd go back if I was in the area.

For years I have brought others to enjoy the experience of the 7-course meal at $30 per person , it's left an indelible mark of gastronomic excellence on whomever I have introduced. The generosity of portions in each course is a testament to Fez's commitment to offering a complete and satisfying culinary journey. A word of advice to future patrons: savor the initial courses with moderation, for there are six more awaiting exploration. As the night progresses, Fez undergoes a delightful metamorphosis from a restaurant to a r & b laid back type of captivating hookah lounge. The ambiance becomes infused with music, entertainment, and an Aladdin-like mystery that transports patrons into a realm of exotic allure. The incorporation of a belly dancer adds a touch of traditional grace to the evening and always awes newbies . Having visited Fez since my high school days, the consistent quality of experience has made it a cherished tradition in my family. The fusion of culinary excellence, hookah culture, and captivating entertainment makes Fez Hookah Lounge a timeless treat for those seeking a holistic and culturally immersive night out in the heart of Philadelphia.
