    The employees here go above and beyond to provide you with a great level of service. I say this because I felt as though our flavor wasn't what we ordered and they made sure we got what we wanted. They even sent a pot of tea for my group on the house which was super sweet. They're also very diligent about giving you coal and you never have to ask for it. Plus they have games!

    Stopped by with my friends and pretty spacious. We got the skittles flavor hookah. Yelp check-in free soda or hot beverages so my bestie ordered a latte. I ordered a peach soda and my other friend got watermelon smoothie. Cash only and no alcohol which I just find it strange.

    Hookah is always great and the price is very reasonable. With a variety of different flavors. No alcohol but they do have other none alcohol drinks you can order. Outdoor area is nice to relax and unwind on a weekday or weekend.

    Yesterday we were there to celebrate our friend's birthday. Considering my friends are Muslim this atmosphere reminded of their country's lounges. I didn't count what we paid for but the bill was so affordable for all of those things we ordered and time we stayed. Customer service and especially hookah were fantastic. Definitely will visit again.

    I liked it here. Tried the orange cream hookah with a coworker. It's pretty cheap at 10.99. The Turkish tea was hot and in a clear glass cup. It was pretty quiet when we came. I'll be back again soon.

    Came here with my fiancée for the first time in little Egypt to watch a soccer game for the African cup! Thankfully we decided to arrive 1 hour before the game because literally the place got so full that they had to add chairs in the middle of the aisle! This is a small joint but I love their decor and the service of the employees, full of energy, funny and how fast they are! Make sure to either eat before coming here or Bring food with you since they only thing on their menu is hooka, hot teas and fresh fruit smoothies which all seems so delicious and were freshly made. Prizes are reasonable and overall a nice place to enjoy some relaxing time smoking good hooka or watch a soccer game like We did! I will definitely be coming back!

    Front entrance & seating

    Taj Mahal Lounge was our saving grace on a rainy and cold day. Customer service was great and staff were friendly. The owner opened the door for us and welcomed us inside. Hookah was good and staff was attentive to change coals as needed. Coffees and teas are well done. Comfortable seating. Space to watch sport events and meet up with friends. Clean bathrooms with bidets. Would 100% come back again.

    Great place! Clean and nice! The atmosphere and the music is great! We ordered regular base pineapple hookah which was super good! And also 2 smoothies: strawberry pineapple and mango pineapple - both were delicious and fresh! They also give you board games, it's kinda fun! Recommended! Also, if you check in there you get a free drink!

    This was a nice place in Steinway. The service was excellent the coffee and smoothies were good and most importantly the hookah was wonderful! The prices were great (just a FYI they only accept cash). I'll definitely be back next time I'm in New York.

They do have hookah available but it was not good! No good flavor, Tasted Burt right after a refill To drink I ordered a Cosmo to start and I did not like it at all.

I had 4/5 there was two girls one floor and one bartender when the floor girl decided to go behind the bar and make my drink which was two ingredients it was terrible, I didn't understand why it was bourbon and pineapple people should really stick to their position.

Sat at a table that was partial inside and outside with the views of the street... cool. The blackboard outside promoted a happy hour until 8pm on drinks so I got the mango mojito which was weak btw and not on happy hour price according to one of the bartenders that sign was meant for Monday- Friday which was very misleading. Ordered me some food which was good and decent priced. The music they played was good as well. BTW they already charge a 18% gratuity on your check which sucks. Also the bartender gave back the wrong change which I'm not sure why simple math is hard.

We sat in an area with bottle service and we were told that we couldn't sit there. They put us in an anther area. Then Moved us. We were then told that area was bottle service as well. We just came from bottle service so we e didn't care to drink. They then told us the place they wanted to sit us was was "reserved" which didn't make any sense. Bc they didn't have reservations. We were literally going back and forth. So embarrassing for women in general. It's so sad when people hold other people to such high caliber for no reason... that's how these people are. I may not be a familiar face, but also treat newbies well so they can return and bring others for business. The one worker we thought was helping us ended up having no patience and literally walked away from me when I was trying to ask him a simple question. It's very sad... I will not be returning or recommending this place. It's ridiculous and annoying...
