Many flavors and add ons to choose from, like ice pipes and coconut charcoal. The beverages were just alcohol with the choice of juice, such as lemon, cranberry, pineapple, or orange. The drinks came out in red solo cups and it was oddly nostalgic. It felt like we were at a house party with good music and basic mixed drinks. They were a bit expensive for the quality and presentation. There was only one server, so at times it was difficult to flag him down, but he was very friendly.

They don't have a bar but you're allowed to BYOB. They provided us with cups with ice and even gave us a water bottle. They had a DJ and he was playing all the right songs to go with the chill vibes. Definitely adding this place to my rotation of favorite places to hangout with friends.

I was here on a Friday night and was cover charged 10$ each. They said there would be a DJ starting at 10 and yet nobody there till 10:30 and we left. They don't change coals on your hookah and have to buy a whole refill for hookah. The sofas, ambience are terrible and I'd never go back to the same place again

I attempted to request a song from the DJ and he said that I needed to PAY for a song request! I have never been to a bar or lounge where the DJ is requesting money in order to play a particular song he could've politely declined, but instead asking for money. I'd rather return on a Thursday when the DJ is polite, friendly and feeds off of the crowd.

This flavor was pretty good. They had music playing which wasn't too loud where we couldn't hear ech other. There a few TV screens that had several shows playing.

This is my second time coming to this lounge and so far I have no complaints.

My BF and I were looking for a local hookah spot to cap off our date night, and after some Googling…read morewe stumbled on Istanbul Cafe. All of the reviews were complimentary, and from them we already had a heads up that they did not sell alcohol. Let me just say, I am SO HAPPY that we found this place! Although it was FREEZING outside, and thus a bit drafty inside, the vibes were everything! Once we walked in we were immediately tended to (and carded for our ID and proof of vax) and seated. We ordered (Blue Mist + Mint with a Pineapple head) and it was HITTING. Nice and smooth! I got a ginger ale (bad idea bc again it was FREEZING lol) and my BF got a cappuccino which came in a clear glass and he enjoyed. The music was also great and the place was filled with a good mix of ppl including couples, girlfriends, and bigger groups. So it's clearly a bit of a neighborhood spot where everyone feels welcome and can just vibe and have a good time. I will definitely be returning soon! PS: Located upstairs on the second floor of a building and the stairs are a bit steep. Just an FYI!

My cousin and I stopped in around 8p since we are big hookah smokers and were in the area...we were told the party doesn't really get started till later in the evening but we weren't looking to party that night. The prices are the cheapest in CT for sure. We got the Jack Sparrow flavor in a fruit bowl and it was BEYOND amazing! It didn't get harsh and we were able to enjoy it for over an hour. The staff there was super attentive changing out the coals and clear out the bowl regularly which we were pleasantly surprised by. I'm definitely returning again and 100% looking forward to checking it out when the party really flowing.

I'm telling you, the music is terrible, it just kills your whole mood. RELAXING MUSIC IS WHAT YOU NEED. It may be 18+ but when you walk in it's obnoxious in there. go to any hookah bar but here. unless you wanna be in high school all over again.

Okay so this was not what we expected judging from the pictures we saw. Before I break things down…read morelet me first complement the art found on the wall of this Lounge. The artist was very creative in his all her drawings. I have posted pictures. It gave me an idea of what to place on my walls once I have opened my lounge. For the art alone A-1 star. Compliments to the artist. The coals on my hookahs was perfect sized. 1 * for that as well. I honestly prefer them the size that they were because it burns longer however because it burns longer does not mean that the customer should be abandoned. I felt I was left and forgotten about because after I'd say 10 minutes maybe more depending on how often I pulled the coal became dim and small. It is important to keep up with the customers so that you can have fresh coals on the burner. I don't know what it is about this part of Jersey but I'm cool with it I'm cool with anybody transforming a portion of their home into a business area and that it appeared to be. It appeared to be a person's basement opened up for business for hookahs. What I did not like was the seating arrangement it was very crowded Once you walk inside because the seating was not organized properly it was cluttered in that area. Branching off to the left was more open space but it was not attractive to the eye other than the art on the wall. A dimly lit area however compliments for placing more light on flooring so that no one is injured due to the flooring being unleveled. The furniture specifically the couches when not attractive although they were not torn or worn down it it did not bring a sex appeal to the lounge. However the gentleman who served us quite sexy if I'm allowed to say that. Nonetheless the place itself could use an improvement. The hookahs and that was the reason mainly why I went was on point it was smooth no problem with pulling no problem with smoke no problem at all. I ordered a mint and upon the first pull it was taste along with the fruity flavor that helped the compliment the hookah. I don't know if I can order them to go but I will find out next time. I won't be back to Lounge but if I can order to go I certainly will compliments to you guys.

Visited Gardenia Terrace for the second time. I started with…read morethe baba ganoush, which was smooth, flavorful, and a great opener. The shrimp risotto was the standout. Perfectly cooked shrimp with a rich, creamy texture that did not feel too heavy. The Bonfire cocktail was well balanced, and memorable, and the Gardenia flavored hookah was smooth, and long lasting, adding to the overall vibe. Ambiance is where this place really shines. Dim lighting, good music, and an energy that builds as the night goes on. It is the kind of spot where you come for dinner, and end up staying awhile. Solid service throughout. This is quickly becoming one of my go to spots, and I am already planning to visit again on my next trip to New York.

I ordered my hookah flavor 70% mint and 30% orange, milk as the base and pineapple head, they replace charcoals unlimited at no extra cost. the waitress stated the flavor last from 45 mins to 1hr.. In my opinion, that depends the level of the smoker, flavor was not strong enough and the quality of the flavor didn't last 45 mins; i don't think the money was worth it... Drinks were very tasteful, but not strong enough. Place looks very good inside, specially the bar. Bathroom was very clean.
