My husband had never tried the hookah before, but I had in Istanbul, so I thought it might be something unique to do. We were greeted by a friendly lady, typical warm Turkish hospitality. Neither of us knew what to try, as we aren't smokers, but the owner helped us pick out something light and fun. There is a plethora of flavors! We went with apple, which was quite good. I like that this spot also offers some yummy Turkish beers, we each enjoyed an Efes. It was pretty quiet when we visited, only a few other people. The vibe is dark and chill, very cozy and comfortable. We had a nice visit here and glad we tried something different.

They have different kinds of music all during week and weekend but we went on Wednesday and it was a Gypsies, belly dancing type music.. I really enjoyed it. The band was very nice and stopped to chat with us. Not a lot of people were there at time but got busier as night rolled on. We grabbed our beverages and sat out back and the staff brought the tacos to us. Not your normal run of mill tacos! They had meat and rice and nice semi spicy sauce and lettuce. Each taco was 3.50 which isn't bad at all. They have great selection of beers as well as ciders in cooler and few on tap.. cool place to hang out for bit..

This hookah cafe is located in downtown Wilmington waterfront area, and thus when my SO and I are…read morein the area we frequent this hookah place quite often. Being that my husband is a hookah addict, it is hard for him to find a place that satisfies his high standards, and Arabian Nights definitely does. The price of the hookah depends upon the number within your party, and they do provide a 10% student discount M-Th, which is pretty cool considering most of their customers are students. Their shisha selection isn't very large, but they are quite delicious, and do serve tea, coffee, juices, and so forth, along with dessert. I don't know if they are still doing the dessert, but the baklava was yummy. On certain nights there is cover to enter to listen to the live music and/or to the see the belly dancer that they have come in during the weekends for entertainment. The decor of the cafe will transport you to the middle east. Its absolutely romantic, thus I would recommend it for an after dinner activity that would surely wow your date.

I am a big fan of hookah and I have been to hookah bars in a lot of cities. This, by far is the…read moreworst I have been to. The place is ridiculously overpriced, from charging $7/person for cover to $3 just to to get ice in your sheeshah. They even charge you to get soap water to blow your bubbles. You bear all of these expenses to experience sub standard quality of the hookah. The atmosphere was meh, the dj was average and the staff seemed like they didn't really know what they were doing. Just when we decided to ignore all the negatives and focus on having a good time and were about to get comfortable, we were asked if we would consider moving to another location to accommodate a bigger party of people. That was the proverbial last straw that completely ruined the experience for us. I would not recommend this lounge to anybody looking to get a decent hookah in Wilmington, Instead I would suggest that one go to Juggling Gypsy, that's located less than two miles away from this one for a much better experience.

I had a great 1st time hookah experience here. I'm awful with names, but the gentleman working on…read morethe nite we visited was an awesome. He asked if we had tried hookah before and was very enthused to explain the flavors after finding out that we hadn't. We couldn't quite decide on what we wanted so he recommended a blend that he thought we'd like. Needless to say we really enjoyed it. There was a cozy, tranquil vibe, possibly because it was relatively early on a weeknight so there were very few patrons. Still, there was great ambiance music and light drink options. I ended up having a Moscato. My only "gripe" was that although the windows had shades to dim the room, the full glass door did. Subsequently, I kept feeling distracted by the amount of sunlight that was shining through the door since the remainder of the room was relatively dim. However, I consider that minor so definitely would recommend & hope to visit this spot again.
