    First off why do I not see a lot of people in the store? This is in between an amazing neighborhood. It's so lively pretty and there are so many restaurants around this area. You would expect a lot of people to be walking around checking out this hookah lounge to see your Friday night without a lot of people in the store, this hookah store has great collection of mixes and they have really nice hookahs. If they were not running any specials on Google and yelp I would not have known about this place. I just ended up going there casually and meeting alam who is the owner of this store he was a gem of a guy with a very good heart. His hospitality blew my mind. He offered me hot tea,, which was free for everyone, a bottle of water free, and he also gave me a free ice hose. I would definitely take a lot of my friends and go there, I encourage all of you to go enjoy this place. This is amazing Hookah launch.

    Had a great time in paradise... way chilled, good hookah, great drinks. Servers are nice, gracious and gorgeous. I'll definitely go again.

    Called to check if they were opened but no answer. Came at 2:45 and it's closed. They need to update their hours :) Actually that is your menu from 2018!

    Great music, good people and awesome hookah. Flavors of the hookah didn't fade away at all. Best hookah spot around. Thank you Alam.

    Mix of Pan n watermelon!

    Alam is extremely efficient and nice. He is very welcoming n keeps the place sanitized with social distancing. He also checks temperature! Luv the ambience in here!

    Hookah time !

    It's hookah time! Come and relax at this lounge. I got a pineapple attached with my hookah.

    When you ask them for new coals... You get one and they make you reuse your old worn down ones... TERRIBLE!

    When you mix House Flavors, it'll be $20 even though both flavors are under the $15 range... What a joke. We also ask for another mint recommendation and the guy said "Double Apple with mint"... it literally tasted like licorice - so gross. I'm not sure how that is a popular flavor. But because the way they take your order is so fast, my friends and I rushed on ordering. BIG MISTAKE. The manager (it seems like) told us since we had 3 ppl we have to get 2 hookahs which is fine. But again, because of how quick they make you order, we missed the top where it says something along the lines of "one hookah for every 2 people or it'll be an additional $5 per person". So we were fooled and paid $40+ for 2 hookahs when we could have done 1 hookah amongst 3 ppl and paid $25+. Jesus. Also, not sure if it is because we had a smaller group, but I felt like we were being neglected in terms of customer service. We asked for coals and I saw the lady walk around to every other table to give them coals and by the time she walked to us - she ran out. Which is understandable... But it becomes NOT understandable when that happens TWICE. So she finally comes around to my group and gives us ONE new coal for the two hookahs we had and puts back on our old/ small coals... Our hookahs weren't even hitting hard because it wasn't hot enough. I wouldn't come back here if I was in the area. Being treated bad customer service and being kind of tricked in the beginning on what to buy - not cool.

    Love This cool place.  Alam gave great service also he upgrade the hookah. High recommend people come to this place.

    Great music. Dope vibes. Affordable hookah. Definitely a great time! Environment is super lax and it's just easy to have a good time. I recommend! Plus there is late night food available On the same street so you can't go wrong!

I did not even know it existed, and now I am wondering how I missed out for so long. A huge bonus is that my partner enjoys hookah from time to time, and this place does both sandwiches and hookah really well. The sandwiches are unique and full of flavor, and the hookah options are just as impressive. My partner loved it, and we both agreed we will definitely be coming back. We arrived right when hookah service started at 5 pm, which is when you can place hookah orders every day. The Dutch crunch roll was absolutely amazing. I am already craving it again and would recommend getting any sandwich on that bread. It is a must try and easily a ten out of ten. The location is in downtown Redwood City with plenty of parking available all around. I can tell this place gets very busy during peak hours and on weekends. By the time we left, it was already packed, even on a Monday night.

We walked in and waited quite some time before we saw someone to seat us, let's call that strike one. They use QR ordering at the tables so we found our selection and placed our first order. Our hookah server came by & asked us if everything was okay and offered us beer or wine as this wasn't on the actual menu, he wasn't aware of what type of wine was offered, strike 2. Not only did our order take a lifetime to come out but our beer was forgotten twice. As a joke I started a timer to see how long it would take to receive our last drinks. The timer stopped at 50 mins, strike 3. Overall, wouldn't return as service was subpar; hummus sampler was good though.

The second morning I went, I had a better experience where I asked to switch out the potatoes as I couldn't eat carbs/sugars.
