    The best hookah lounge serving up Tangiers, Fumari and Al Falker shisha. Tangiers brand is great…read morebut for seasoned hookah smokers. It's a bit tough to find in the plaza as it's tucked in the back order (look for domino's, Empire is located just to the left of it in the corner). Great service and knowledgeable staff. Weekend nights do get busy. Mondays have a movie night (starts at 9pm). The movie selection is posted on their Instagram on Mondays. Bowls are packed nicely every time. Post 2020, they're using one time use hoses, but be free to bring your own hose, if you have one. They do have a well stocked fridge with variety of soft drinks, including some sugar free options. Ambience is casual with music playing in the background (sometimes edm, sometimes rap/hip hop/mix of those two). Couches are comfortable and there are TVs all over, which will sometimes play the local games (basketball, baseball, football).

You walk in and right away a man greeted me, asked me how many, told me to scan the QR code for the menu and sat me down. There are couches everywhere with pillows and each area has it's own table. The place is dimly lit with tvs and it feels like you're sitting in your own living room smoking hookah chillin lol The service was great. They serve water and sodas. I was not the only person chillin alone which was pretty cool and I'd definitely come back again alone or with a group of friends! Also if you sign up for their rewards program you get 10% off which was pretty cool!

    Definitely a great spot for an enjoyable evening!…read more From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly security guard. The gentleman came over and turned on the heater as soon as we sat down (and the heater itself was great), which really set the tone right away. The hookah, energy drink mix, and Deluxe pizza were all on point. The pizza dough really stood out.

I also did not act difficult or demanding during our visit. The service was poor from the start. Last Monday we went and the waitress forgot to bring our drinks and the hookah. I would look directly at her as she walked past our table so she could assist us, but she deliberately avoided eye contact and ignored us as she passed by, as if we bothered her. It wasn't until | got up to ask--when the food arrived--that the hookah was finally brought out. She barely checked on us the entire time. I stayed polite because it was my friend's first restaurant experience in Los Angeles--she was visiting from London--and I didn't want to make things uncomfortable. The waitress didn't know what a cheeseburger was, and I had to point it out on the menu. When it arrived, it didn't taste right, and I didn't finish it. It was so gross. That night and into the next morning, I began vomiting nonstop--far beyond anything a home remedy could help. The vomiting was uncontrollable, which is why I ended up in the hospital. I was diagnosed with E. coli and a kidney infection, which doctors said were caused by food poisoning. Afterward, I mentioned the situation to a friend who lives in the area, and she shared that the place tends to cater to wealthy male clientele and that staff often focus their attention there. That context unfortunately made the dismissive treatment we experienced make more sense, as we were two women dining together. This was not just a bad dining experience--it turned into a serious medical emergency. Please be cautious

I came in about midnight so it was still fairly empty, but the owner said it gets more crowded and busy around 1-2am, and closing at 4am. There's a few bars/clubs that are next to this spot so expect a lot of foot traffic and moving cars. Parking is about a block away in parking lot area but you could try your luck in parking in front of this place (don't bother). When you enter this hookah spot they not only ID you but they also pat you down to make sure you're clean. Inside is a pretty cool vibe with some fairly loud rap music playing and a few TV's playing music videos. They have a bunch of different hookah flavors and I got the Blue Ballz. Hookah is about $30 a piece. He made it in about 5 minutes and the hookah was great! The vibes were definitely good and the ambiance was quite enjoyable. If you want a spot to CHILL, this is cool - but don't come here at 1-2 am if you're not trying to be in a crowd and possibly loud people (most people are probably drunk and leaving the bars/clubs at that point) Overall, I'd definitely come back here with my friends!
