The interior is spacious, booths along both sides of the walls. Tables and chairs in the center. Big screen televisions all around and a nice center section with 3 big screens. Really liked the interior well kept and clean. Bathroom was much nicer than I've seen at other places. Small bar area to order drinks and they also sell food. We didn't check out the menu will need to another time. Just came for hookah. We ordered our favorite mix and ordered a small hookah with coconut coals no extra charge spent about $25 plus a bottle of water. I did catch a sign that 3 hour limit on each hookah head and then you have to refill. We don't usually stay that long but heads up. Really enjoyed this spot we got comfortable on the booth and smoked our hookah. Super chill great atmosphere. Parking sucks! But if you find a spot it's worth coming in. Will be back!

The pastry part was so flaky and crispy, with a gooey center then the ice cream was somehow creamy and solid enough where it didn't melt. I'm not sure how they did this, it was ice cream but it wasn't... then I ordered the black tea and it paired perfect with it. Overall it wasn't too sweet which I can't say for most desserts, I will eat one bite and be done but this one, I shared with my partner and we ate every last bite of it. He got the chai latte and that was meh, too sweet and not worth it.

Giving it 3 stars because the bathrooms are DISGUSTING. There's only 2 unisex bathrooms and they are often clogged up. If it isn't clogged up, there's no toilet paper or it's just trashed. Sometimes the door lock is broken too and won't lock properly. They have been doing some renovations to their furniture but not the bathroom. It's so gross. The specialty drinks are really good. Especially when the bartender Chase is there. My favorite is the Pink Lagoon. It'll sneak up on you because it is made with tequila. It's like an alcoholic pink drink with the coconut cream, guava and pineapple. Pricy with drinks averaging $15-20 and they have an automatic 18% surcharge on weekends (that is not tip). Food is great. Some of the best wings downtown. The lamb chops are really good too. I wouldn't get the wagyu sliders. It wasn't good. It tasted like an average slider advertised to be fancier since it's "Wagyu". I've had better sliders elsewhere for much cheaper. Save your $30. Parking here is horrible because it's in the heart of gaslamp. Horton plaza parking is probably your best bet if you can't find street parking.

Whether it's just the two of us or a group of friends, this place never disappoints. The service is some of the best you'll experience. No matter how busy they are, the staff is always attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Recently, I believe we were assisted by the manager, and seeing him jump in to help his team while ensuring everything ran smoothly spoke volumes about his leadership. A great staff starts with great leadership, and it definitely shows here. 10/10 for service. While we don't typically come for dinner, we absolutely love their breakfast. Their Turkish-style breakfast is an experience in itself and is meant to be shared with friends and family. I've brought several people here for breakfast, and every single person has loved it. Most of our visits are for the hookah, desserts, and drinks. The desserts are all delicious in their own way--you really can't go wrong with whatever you order. My personal favorite drink, and the one I recommend to everyone, is the Sahlep. It's a warm, perfectly balanced blend of cinnamon and vanilla that pairs amazingly with hookah. Speaking of hookah, theirs is outstanding. The flavors are great, the setups are unique, and the bowls last for hours. I've spent 3-4 hours here and my hookah was still going strong. Some people may initially be surprised by the prices, but the quality, service, and overall experience absolutely justify the cost. This isn't just a place to eat or smoke hookah--it's an experience. As a loyal customer, I can honestly say this is one of my favorite places to unwind. I highly recommend giving it a try. Cheers!

The main reason for the 1 star is the shadiness of how they charge you. In case you don't go…read morethrough the whole online menu they state they will automatically include an 18% tip to your bill. The shock came from the server in training automatically selecting an ADDITIONAL 5% when presenting the portable pay machine and didn't provide a final receipt when asked. That means a total of 23% paid in tip. The audacity bc the they hardly were serving us. We had to keep asking people other than our servers for items. Please check the machine before you sign to pay as they automatically pick an additional amount for you. Ahmet was the main server, but was training another lady. Not the best practices to pickup if you ask me. This and poor service are a couple of the reasons why I won't be coming back. Other reasons: they try to upsell you with additional items. Like hard. Examples are the dessert and this onsite professional photographers photos. There is one bathroom for each gender for the whole restaurant. There was a line for both bathrooms due to there not being enough. Food wise .... Overpriced. The dishes look good, but you can get the same or similar dish cheaper in El Cajón City and with more flavor. Combine overpriced and poor service there is no reason to come back. I will say one of the good things were the drinks. Although they don't serve alcoholic beverages they make up for it in beverage options and flavor.

The iconic geometric wood ceiling, dramatic chandelier, and moody lighting make the space feel effortlessly cool. The craft cocktail program is legendary, and the elevated gastropub menu is just as impressive, the grilled octopus was tender with a wonderful smoky char, the Jidori chicken was remarkably juicy with perfectly crispy skin, and the sea bass was delicate and flaky. Taking off one star because street parking along India Street can require quite a bit of circling during peak evening hours, and the dining room gets rather loud and dim once the crowd settles in. Still, an absolute San Diego staple and a top choice for a stylish date night, late-night craft drinks, or dinner with friends.

Parking is a nightmare good luck finding parking within a mile of the restaurant. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, service Cons: food wasn't great for the price, restaurant was small and crowded, no parking Service: All of our servers were friendly and very accommodating. Gave us some knowledge on the menu and recommended cocktails based on our preference. I had spilled my drink and they were quick to make me another one. Food: I had intended to get the prime ribeye cap steak but they ran out for the night around 8pm. I shared the steak sampler which came with four different cuts of steak and 4 sauces. I ordered medium and it was cooked medium/medium rare which was fine with me, it also had a good sear, almost burnt though. Out of the four steaks, we only liked two based off flavor and tenderness. The other two were more tough and gamey. None of the sauces really stood out but the bordelaise and horseradish were good. For our sides we got fries, roasted broccoli, and the grilled wedge salad. Fries were average. The roasted broccoli had really good flavor, I expected the broccoli to be al dente but it was cooked to mush and drenched in sauce. The grilled wedge salad was decent, there was a slightly bitter taste to it. I know it says grilled wedge but the experience of biting into the salad and it being both hot and cold was not pleasant. Cocktails: I tried the Honey Ryder and New Wave. These were recommended as the more fruity/sweet cocktails. You can definitely taste the alcohol but it's only 2oz so it's not too strong. Ambience: 10/10 I got seated downstairs by the bar. Only thing about downstairs is that it's too dark to take photos unless you use flash. Overall, I agree with the other reviews saying to go just for drinks and appetizers. I would go again just to sit upstairs and get drinks and take pictures. We left unsatisfied and ended up getting in-n-out after.
