Heard this place was recently re-owned and under new management by some of my old friends, Pat and…read moreRod, they definitely hooked it up! This place is located in a plaza, with a billboard that just says Hookah Lounge so might be easy to miss by first timers in the area. Parking is in the plaza, sometimes it might be full, but when we arrived, there were many spots in the front. Just make sure not to park in 30 minute marks, because there's a few of those! Walking in, I wasn't sure what to expect. There's black curtains covering the door, which makes it seem a little bit sketchy, but its super intimate! Its both indoors, and outdoors they also have a couple tables. There is no hostess, so just take a seat wherever you'd like and you will be approached by a worker or owner. Comfortable couches, that are great for group seating! The whole vibe of the place is very club like with the black and red, and chandelier like lighting. I love love love the music! For once a hookah lounge is playing loud enough music, with all good vibes. The best part about the lounge is the air ventilation! I can't do indoor hookah lounges, but this one was really comfortable, even though we were indoors, it felt like we were outside. There was constant air flow. Facilities are clean, hookah hits really good! Big ups to you guys! My hookah lasted for 3 hours with 3 rounds of charcoal and I didn't even need to get a refill. It never burned or went bad either. Btw: There is no food here, but there is a FatBurger in the plaza and is open late! You are allowed to get food from outside and bring it in and eat it at the lounge. There is also a Chinese place across the street. That's a big plus! - Overall great place and I'm sure it'll grow into something greater!

Would definitely come back!

I wanted to show this to the other couple we were with, but it was already full. (Around 8pm) We sat outside and while not as luxurious, I have no complaints. There are heaters and they regularly check on you to the point where they don't even leave a pair of tongs for you to adjust your coals. There's a large list of flavors and the guys seem to be very knowledgeable. We should've gone with what they recommended because my gf and I didn't really like the combination we made, but there's always next time! Our hookah still had plenty of flavor 2 hours into the night, so you know they're not skimping out on you. I wish all hookah spots were like this. Good atmosphere, great service, and reasonable prices.

It's a chill place to come unwind, they're open pretty late.

I contacted the owner through Instagram, and he was so nice and helpful from the beginning. He arranged everything perfectly for us. We brought our own cake and balloons, and everything turned out amazing. The service was excellent, the food and appetizers were delicious, the drinks were great, and the prices were very reasonable. The view is absolutely beautiful! We also loved the music, DJ, and dancer. The whole atmosphere was so much fun and made my birthday celebration very special. Thank you to the owner and the entire team for taking such great care of us. We had an amazing night! I highly recommend Yamashisha and will definitely be back!

They also didn't provide an itemized check before payment because everything was handled through the payment machine. What made it worse was that after the 22% gratuity had already been added, the machine prompted us to leave an additional tip. After closing out my check, the server quickly walked away before I had a chance to ask for an itemized receipt or question the charges. I strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully before paying and making sure you know exactly what has already been added.

The prices for the hookah are reasonable, and there is a variety of quality tobacco to choose from. It's also always been smooth throughout. I love pairing the hookah with some black tea that's served in a kettle. I haven't tried the food or other items, and haven't sat in the front of the cafe before, I just go to have hookah and tea sometimes. The owners are also very friendly.

Our server (a guy) also came across as condescending and dismissive rather than welcoming. The valet situation was the worst part.

Overall, poor service and a very unprofessional experience. Definitely wouldn't come back

what an amazing Mediterranean restaurant that is located in studio city! i did not know about this…read moreplace until my friend mentioned about it. what won me over about this place is the fattoush salad. it is a salad inside a pita and you break the pita from the top. booking reservations for 2 was really easy. my friend booked our reservation online and was able to pick the time we wanted to come. Upon arrival, they do have valet & parking structure that is for the general public. the valet guy was nice but we ended up parking at the general parking. i love hearing the music play when walking in the restaurant. check in process was really easy & we were sat at our table immediately. the table set up was really nice. i really like that they give you a fan as a free gift. it does get hot in there. the gentleman standing at the podium was very nice and welcoming. i LOVE live dancers / performers. once we were seated, the beautiful belly dance walked over to us and she was so amazing!!! also want to give a shoutout to the gentleman playing the guitar. really lovely music he was playing. our waiter, his name is ruben and he was absolutely amazing. such nice & lovely gentleman. for our first time he really made our time memorable. he was very attentive & reassured us to make sure we were enjoying everything. we first ordered our drinks. i got the yerevan, which was really smooth. my friend got the tequila summer, it was good & refreshing. as appetizers, we got the Soujoukh with Hummus with pita breads on the side. the soujoukh was absolutely delicious and you can't really go wrong with hummus. then we got the popular fattoush salad. my goodness, that salad left us speechless..in a good way. it was refreshingly delicious. i love when a salad has bell peppers, it's soo good! the pita itself with the olive oil drizzled on top was amazing. it had this yummy crunch which i looved. then for entree, i got the chicken combo plate and my friend got the shrimp plate. both plates were 10/10. the rice was so good, loved the seasoning on top. the Lula chicken and the 5 piece chicken on the skewers were soo good! i love how the lula chicken just slides off the skewers!! it was so yum!! i most definitely recommend! my friend enjoyed his plate as well, especially the shrimp. said, shrimp was cooked perfectly. the food was absolutely amazingly delicious that we were too full to get dessert. most definitely will try their dessert next time. i hope the next time we come ruben is our waiter again!
