Only giving this a me star today because how I was treated but normally a 15 out of 10 on Sundays !! I get a table every week . This day I didn't make a reservation but I arrived early enough to get a section .. the host told me everything is sold out . I asked to please let me know if something opens up . . Order drinks at the bar all good !! Went and sat down at a table that had no reservation sign or anything on it . My sister comes after me and gets sitted at a table with no reservation .. I was told to get up from where I was sitting because it just got sold . So I approached the host and said why couldn't I buy the table I sat at , u said none was available. Then she responded I sat myself , oh well !! Just horrible service at that point !! Then watch the same table get sat 2.5 hours later and asked the table did they pre book they told me no they just walked in .. then still watched other tables get up and leave and I never got asked if I still needed my table but others walked in and they sat them in the section !! I am in the industry and understand the business but that just ain't right !! read more

Bryanna has been amazing. Her personality is top tier and one of the best bartenders I've had.

Stephanie was great. She knew our drink and chaser after every drink. Love herrrrr. Samsara is a great spot sundays!

This spot is super dope! Nothing like it in the valley. Owned by 5 brothers who know how to run a successful business. The music is always the vibe and the customer service is fantastic. Shout out to Mike behind the bar he took good care of us. I've also visited a couple times and have had a shrimp ceaser salad and lamb kabob which were also delicious. I always suggest upgrading to the ice hose which makes the hookah super smooth. If you're looking for all the vibes, samsara definitely has them for you. A must stop in downtown Phoenix if you're looking for hookah and good music for sure! read more

Me and my group went on a Saturday afternoon to celebrate one of our friends Bachelor parties. It was a nice vibe with hookah and bottle service. DJ was paying afrobeats and switched it up here and there! More importantly our server Sara was attentative and predicted our needs at the table. The whole staff gave great vibes but Sara is the reason I'll come back our next visit in AZ! read more

My first time doing hookah and I LOVED it! The atmosphere is AMAZING! The DJ LOVED! Service was fantastic! Drinks on par! Price----YASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! We hung out at 1st Fridays, ate some tacos and then hit this spot! I love it! We had a friend meet us there. It was weird that people walking on the street will ask if they can smoke your hookah, but other than that we sat, had a few drinks, did hookah and people watched. Relaxing and turned up at the same time. You got to go to this place! It is pretty hot! ...so was the guy who brought out the hookahs and checked on us from time to time. The hostess checked on us and our waitress was STELLAR! read more

I've been here a few times and I love the atmosphere. But the reason for my one star is the desperate measures their servers are taking to make some money. I'm in the industry and I understand bad days but the waitress blatantly lied to us about our check being 315, I asked for the receipt and it was only 280 with the 20% autograt. Everyone I was with had just worked a busy weekend at my establishment and we were celebrating getting through it by patronizing this place I recommended. The server over served us drinks we asked for another round of shots... and she brought us our shots and another round of drinks. After we explained her error she told us "well they're here" and "there's no manager here tonight" . I'm not confrontational so after waiting 30-45 minutes for our last round we finished our hookah and left to go spend our money elsewhere. This place is too nice to have janky people representing it, and scamming consumers as I've seen in previous reviews. Ask for a recipt before you pay. Being industry it's unfortunate that she carried herself this way because she would have gotten more than an extra 30 from me and my party. On a good note there's other waitresses that I've had that have been attentive and the security team is super helpful. read more

Samsara - Photo of our actual receipt - Hookah Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Shout out to the owner for reaching out to address a previous review after investigating it. We came back and had a great experience. The ambiance was as beautiful as before and our waitress was super sweet. This time we had the opportunity to try the food. I had the ceviche and my husband had the burger. Both were great and the serving sizes were nice for the price. They were really on top of the hookah service as well. They switched our coals regularly and checked in before we needed anything. Glad we came back read more

Samsara - Hookah Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So excited for a new place to hang out for some good food, drinks, hookah and chill vibes. Samsara was a wonderful experience. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. We started off with some appetizers, the spinach artichoke was so so good. I had the Anar MOCKTAIL, which btw they have an impressive mocktail menu as well as cocktail. The Anar mocktail was so refreshing and sweet. I enjoyed every sip. And talk about presentation! I am excited to go back and try the other drinks. The hookahs, wow. Just wow. Before i went i had heard how smooth and flavorful their hookahs were. And they sure didnt disappoint. I tried the ice hose which was super smooth and refreshing. The service was top notch and immaculate. We had a great time. Cant wait to go back! Highly recommend. read more

jennifer was amazing! extremely social, kind and funny! definitely ask for her, she was great!

Stephanie A. at the bar was very attentive and she made my friends and me amazing drinks. We visited because it was my friends birthday and she really made our visit worth it! read more

The ambiance is perfect! The music, food, and drinks were all great. The only reason I'm giving 3 starts instead of 5 is because when I received my bill I noticed it was significantly higher than expected. I was never given an itemized bill. The server just passed me the card reader to pay. When I asked the waitress "how did we get to this to total?" She simply said "it was for the drinks you had". I asked for a receipt and she said "We can email you a receipt after you pay". (Which I thought that was super odd). I was still super confused, but because I didn't want to make the moment more awkward I just went ahead and paid. Well, when I returned on a different date the bartender (who was amazing) gave me a printed itemized copy of my bill before I paid which is when I noticed that 20% gratuity is automatically added. I'm 100% okay with that but I just felt like it was so shady that the first time I went the server didn't disclose that so that she could get tipped double. I'm just shocked that after she saw I was clearly confused as to how the bill was so high that she wouldn't just tell me a 20% tip was already included. I just felt super uncomfortable being asked to pay an amount without being shown the break down. read more

This place is a gem in the heart of Downtown Phoenix!! My cousins and I were visiting for the week and had a hookah craving. We headed to a hookah bar I found in Scottsdale, because it was close to our AirBnb. Anyway, we got to the hookah bar in Scottsdale and it was DEAD. Not a single patron was occupying the place and that's not the place we wanted to start our vacation. We asked the bouncer if they thought it was gonna pick up a bit and I commend his honesty. He quickly said 'no, everyone has been going to Samsara for the past few weeks. You guys would probably have more fun, if you're okay with driving another 15-20 minutes.' A quick yelp search of Samsara and it looked like a decent hookah bar, so we started heading that direction. Upon arrival, we were greeted and taken to our seats immediately. The server, Makayla took our drink orders and said she would be back shortly to get our hookah and food orders. She came right back with our drinks and offered some popular food items and hookah flavors. I ordered the lady killer and love 66 hookah combo with a lamb kabob to eat. This hookah is the best hookah I've ever had.. no exaggeration! Perfect amount of lady killer and love 66, with no overpowering elements. What really blew me away was the service. The gentleman bring out charcoals would bring charcoals out for our table before we even realized they needed to be change.. he deserves a raise! We ended up at Samsara every night of our trip and I'm glad we did. I urge you to check this place out if you're ever in the area! read more
