Pasha Hookah Bar

Cigar bars are few and far between in the area, so Tel Aviv has become the go-to spot for me and my…read moregood friend who enjoys an occasional cigar. The venue is reasonably large, the seats are comfortable, the service has been very good (and it was excellent today), and they have a large humidor for anyone arriving empty-handed. I've worked through a handful of menu items and found the lamb lollipops are particularly good (order them medium). That said, this isn't a place I'd choose strictly for dinner unless the ambiance of lingering cigar smoke is part of the draw (pun intended). In warmer months, the large outdoor deck along the water is a really nice spot. So if you're into cigars or hookah and live in the area, this might be your place too. Given how rare cigar-friendly venues have become, I'm bumping this up to a five-star rating. Tip: Beware of the sidewalks on this street. They have so many peaks and valleys they look like the Swiss Alps!

Came here last night on a whim. Bumming it with my sweatshirt and sneaks on, no one blinked an eye…read more Formally know as Cafe 55, which I had frequented. Sabrina was our primary server. 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.

Good. Highly recommend it. The best hookah lounge in RI. Very good service and affordable priceread more

Mozzarella sticks were definitely frozen, don't order. They have a "BYOB charge" which is new, because I came in January and I wasn't charged. Then they have automatic gratuity, which is trash because the waitress doesn't even get the full 20% tip. Music was off of a playlist and was a strong 6 in terms of current music/top charts.

After two hours we still haven't received our food especially after the tables that came after us had gotten theirs. We were very patient and after over 2 hours we finally cancelled and asked to speak to the manager. He was very sincere but the server was not as apologetic. To add, it was a birthday and when we left we asked for our cake. They gave our cake to another table and ended up giving us a random cake that was not ours. We had no words. We won't be coming back. Miguel was super accommodating and understanding and comped us where he could, but the staff seems to be the severe issue. We didn't notice the mix up of the cake until AFTER we left.

The waitress didn't bring us out plates or clean up the plates and we had to wait awhile just to get our bill. She just disappeared. One thing that really bothered myself and my friend was the table that had hookah with a young child at the table. I feel that should not be allowed at all.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted. The server was nice and took our orders seamlessly. About 15 min later, we got out our food. We ordered the Palava sauce w/ rice and palm butter with fufu to eat there and the fried chicken & jollof rice to take home. The 2 meals we ate at the restaurant were delicious. Good portions and flavorful with a nice kick. When we got home, we tried the fried chicken and jollof rice. It was a huge piece of fried chicken; I wish it was more seasoned it was a bit on the bland side. The rice was cooked well and had a nice kick of spice. I will be back to try more items off their menu!

It's good, but again, not my go-to for sushi. They offer a variety of dishes - I opted for the Mofongo con Camarones (shrimp). The sauce mixed with the Mofongo? Fire. They also have good cocktails. Hookah will cost around $42 - $52 per fill, depending on the flavor. Kitchen closes at 12:45 AM, so my party and I were able to enjoy our meals and still spend a good amount of time there. I went on a slower day so the service was quick, but in the warmer season the restaurant will be packed in and out. It's a great vibe if you don't put the expectation that this will be a 5 star meal. Music was top tier.

The decor is very cute, i had read on here that it's very "instagramable" and i agree. We were sat right away, our waitress was nice and attentive. The menu is online, with qr code at table. We ordered some apps and sushi right away; there was a sushi special until 8pm and we were able to put in order minutes before 8! Everything came out together, apps and sushi, and we didn't wait long. The food was great! The sushi options were very creative, some traditional others with the latin mix. The apps were good too, only wish they put more sauce on the wings. The only con was parking! I thought the parking lot next to them was theirs and was happy to find a spot (i thought was because week days are less busy). If there is a sign that says it private lot i didn't see it; it was at night. The restaurant also didn't mention it until someone came to ask for car to be moved. A different waitress came ro our table to ask if it was our car and told me "you are lucky they came in to ask to move it, they usually just have it towed". They need to warm customers or have signs so that doesn't happen. I had to rush out to move it, had to find street parking few blocks away. Thankfully was a week day and only took few minutes. So if you go, don't park in the lot!
