    Inside

    My sister and I wanted a chill place to hang out after dinner and this place is that. It's full of locals and is a great coffee house. We sat inside, but the outside was still a great choice on cool evenings. There were some regulars who came with their blankets to sit on the patio. It looked comfy and cozy. All of the servers were friendly and attentive. The hookah flavors were great. They do not serve alcohol, but the options they do serve are great. When I come back to NC to visit I will be back for sure.

    Loved this place. They have an amazing outdoor seating with nice fire spots on the tables. They have three kinds of seating arrangements and it is planned well. They don't have food but they have some cakes and baklavas , they have nice tea. Service was quick and good. They even sell nice hookah bottles and flavors too. Overall it's a good place for hookah

    Shisha available for purchase

    Very nice chill spot. The cool thing with them is that you will get a different experience depending on the time of day you go. I've gone earlier in the day and the atmosphere was very relaxed and chill. I have also gone later at night and the music is more upbeat (still chill nonetheless). It's obviously way more people at night than during the day. The crowd always seems to be mixed and they allow outside food. They also offer a ice hose which made the pull of the hookah more smooth.... and cooling. I am by no means a hookah expert, I have only done it about 3 times but I would say the hookah (shisha) is good. A few of the employees did inform me that hookah is veeeerrryyy unhealthy for you (lots of nicotine). So understanding that, I do not know that I would indulge in hookah often. They also have frappes, teas, coffee, and some desserts. Many people were playing games (cards etc.) inside. There are also tvs that were showing relevant sports at the time. The employees are very attentive but not overbearing. They always changed out the coals and checked to make sure we were okay. The outside seating area is plentiful and the couches inside or very comfy. The chairs' upholstery need some serious work however. Overall, I enjoyed my visits and will most likely return, even if not for hookah, for the atmosphere and tea.

    Watermelon freeze is my favorite

    This place is definitely a solid win. Firstly it is way bigger inside then it looks in the front. A TON of seating in the back patio. Secondly they have surprisingly consistent wifi. This is a must if you are coming to do homework or take home work. Third they have all the classic hookah flavors at a very decent price with servers who replace the coals like every 30 minutes on the dot. The smoothies are an odd but very good decision. The oreo cookie frappe is my favorite. Their tea is a must. I get it almost every time. The Arabian mint is a top contender for me. The overall decor is pretty ratchet or outdated but this is more than forgiven with all the other positives. It's really not too bad just think college bar vibe but quiet. The desserts are delicious. I've had the cheese cake. Just know the desserts change and what's on the menu is usually not available completely. Last but not least, the place stays open til 3am 6 days a week is amazing!!! Definitely a great hangout spot and affordable hookah decision you won't regret.

    Visited this place a few weeks back and really enjoyed the whole vibe here. The hookah flavor options are really good and goes well with their coffee menu! Perfect place to chill out with friends with hookah, coffee and bonfire.

    The only thing that prevented a 5 was that food was not offered. There are dessert and smoothies offered though. A good thing to note is that bringing outside food or drinks didn't seem to be frowned upon. We arrived to watch the NBA Finals and it was pouring raining. We sat out doors under the tents. There are large tv screen facing outside to the patio sitting area. We ordered a hookah and watched the game. The waiters were attentive and busy. They made sure that everyone had coals and or drinks. The music playing outside was modern, urban and what you would want to hear for a young person. They had fire pits on the table tops but they were only used during the fall - winter seasons. It was a Monday night but it was busy which was surprising. There were people of different ages and races no issues! There were even a couple of dogs outside in the mix enjoying themselves as well.

    This is a legit middle eastern hookah lounge. No alcohol served which adds to the authenticity. Several choices in tea, served in a small or large pot, piping hot and perfectly brewed. Great ventilation which is essential for a hookah lounge. The indoor space features plush comfortable Naugahyde seating with plenty of room to lay back and chill while smoking your favorite nargile flavor. Our hookah bowl was made of half a grapefruit. We enjoyed the cool smoke and excellent service on the hookah set up. There is a small selection of pastries available. Comfortable outdoor seating with firepits under a tent or other areas sitting outside all together. I give five stars to a place that is a must see when in a particular city or area and Shahrazad is a must see and do. Plan to stay a couple of hours and just relax and unwind.

    Pretty empty for a big place and still waiting for our orders to be taken!

    They DO NOT try at all to keep people safe. Don't change the hose and try to start fights for no reason. They definitely need a new manager.

    There are covered seating with fire pits in the tables or you can sit outside without that is just as accommodating.

The chicken shish kabob and lamb kabob were both flavorful and cooked well. Those were definitely the highlights of the meal. The disappointing part was that they were already out of the Doner plate by 2:30 p.m., even though we came for dinner service. It was frustrating because that's one of the main dishes people go there for. What really stopped me from giving this place a higher rating was the condition of the men's bathroom. It was pretty gross, with visible mold and a wet towel on the floor that looked like it was there because of a leaking toilet. A lot of people say the bathroom reflects how clean the restaurant is overall, and honestly that crossed my mind while eating there. The food and service were good, but the restaurant really needs to improve the cleanliness and do a better job keeping popular menu items available.

Where we were sitting people were walking around our table and dancing. It was definitely a friendly vibe. We decided earlier in the day we would visit, but not eat. There is a cover charge to get in. If you want a speciality table, you have to reserve it. I'm not sure I would pay extra to sit in any portion of this restaurant. I definitely wouldn't eat in the section we were. It would be rather difficult with the lower coffee tables. It wasn't anymore aesthetically appealing than other areas in the establishment. We ordered a $80 peach mimosa tower. It tasted like orange juice. When we sent it back and came back, it still tasted like orange juice. I'm thinking all flavors are just some type of flavored orange juice. Overall, I had a good time with my friends. I think they could fill the place, if there wasn't a cover charge and overpriced "VIP" sections.

Thats not what's shown online. So thankful the food was good but everything else needs some work. And you have to buy your drinks that $15+. Im giving 3 stars. I visit Raleigh from Dallas often and I will skip here next time.
