    The place is great, not my first time coming there, so when my friend asked me the good spot for hookah smoking, I took him to the Tabu lounge without hesitation. Hookah is good, food and drinks good, the service was very disappointing. The waitress was rude! When we asked for the table on the back, they said it's only for big groups, but in 20 minutes they let some couple of 2 sit there, so what was so special about them? The waitress definitely had a kind of attitude

    Absolutely spectacular experience dining at Tabu lounge. To begin with, we did not have plans for the night. All we knew was: we wanted to go out for dinner and we wanted to stay in the area. As you may know, the area does not offer that many nice places to go for dinner, everything is pretty old school. A friend who lives in the neighborhood recommended that we check out Tabu, and that was absolutely beyond our expectations!  AMBIENCE It was a Sunday night, so it was not too busy. The hostess offered us a few seats to choose from, and we had a very intimate table. The tables are not too close to each other, which makes it very comfortable to have a conversation and not feel like a table on the right / left is listening to you. Also, it smells really good inside the restaurant and the music is ambient / chill house. They also have a private space for bigger companies.  Lastly, it is important to note that they have hookah, for a reasonable price.  FOOD  We had zero expectations for the food, but that was absolutely unexpectedly amazing! Their sushis are something magnificent and mouthwatering. We initially ordered two rolls, but we could not stop and we had to try every roll on the menu (sorry I did not take as many pictures I was too busy enjoying it :) )! Guys, I've tried many sushi in NY, in a few best restaurants and Tabu easily falls in my top 3 sushi places! Obviously, we were so full by the end of the night that we only ordered one dessert to share and that did not disappoint as well.  SERVICE Everyone was super nice and welcoming. We didn't have any issues. Our waiter was extremely nice and at the end of our night he brought us some complimentary champagne! Also, as we found out Tabu is a family business and it's been here for the last 22 years, maybe that explains the food and overall quality of the place.   We highly recommend visiting this place if you live or end up in the neighborhood!

    Sushi, good size and fresh

    My friends and I went to tabu on the weekend for few drinks, we were seating by the bar.  I will highly recommend the SUSHI, very fresh and very good one of the the best Sushi and rolls In town. The drinks and  the hookah  was also good. I think the drinks a little over priced  (but they were good)  However the bartender TATYANA wasn't  as  professional, ( if you don't have anything smart to say Don't open your mouth )!!!. Every thing was great till the end of the night, She said something really inappropriate to one my friend, and this runes the night.  My friend  should say something, but he just paid  the  bill and left :( .  Something to the Owner of Tabu :  The Bill :, why won't you use the computer to print the bill ?!,   (the menu not cheap at all,  you  can afford to buy a computer.  Come on..... It is 21th century......  Why do I need to spend my time trying understand what I got charged for,  and spend my time calculate the bill make sure the the bartender didn't  try to rip me... ( a special if the bill over $300) BTW  they charge  $2 for extra Cole for hookah... ( nowear on the menu mentioned about that). I never got charged any extra for the Cole, it a part of the service..... Unfortunately I had more bad experience then good, but it's just me.

    Loved this place!! The food is DELICIOUS and the drinks are great. The vibes are really romantic, with a dim candle lit setting. The place smells of fruity hooka and has an old vintage look. The seating is really comfy among - red and brown cushiony couches. Prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend!

    I literally stumbled upon this place after 10 years working in the neighborhood. I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a gem in the sheepsheadbay area, great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and amazing food. Bartender very friendly and fluent in drink varieties. Atmosphere is chill from opening at 6pm and picks up around midnight, tuna tartare tacos with tempura to die for.

    Relaxing!!

There truly aren't any limitations to the type of drink you can receive! I grabbed a handful of mojito's for $5 before the deal was over -- Score! As the drinks were flowing and the night was progressing, the one thing that kept popping through my mind was " WTH is the DJ playing". He not only played the entire song, he mixed reggae to rap to reggaeton in the oddest of ways. One moment, you are in a really great groove with your friend and the next your vibe is entirely gone... This is not the highlight -- They played funny Instagram videos on a screen with a projector, IN THE LOUNGE... What is god holy name is this place doing? You have 90% of the room looking to catch a good vibe from the weird music and 10% laughing over the music to random videos... There is apparently a huge conflict of interest. I want to also mention, there was only one bartender and one waitress. The waitress struggled a lot that night with forgetting orders, or keeping the customers updated in regards to wait time etc.. I don't fault her as there should never only be ONE person working the floor at any establishment. Rough night for her and a lot of respect. I will come back because of the price point, but my expectations are extremely LOW.

The gentlemen who spoke to us apologized for the inconvenience and recommended a very good Peruvian restaurant nearby. He promised if we came back after dinner he would have a table reserved for us. After dinner we returned and the table was available as the gentleman had stated. This is a real chill spot. Music is a good mix of latin, old school music and top 40's. Drinks and hookah were good as well. They are not cheap with the liquor. Staff were all polite and attentive. We all had a pleasant time and plan to go again.
