Definitely a great spot for an enjoyable evening!…read more From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly security guard. The gentleman came over and turned on the heater as soon as we sat down (and the heater itself was great), which really set the tone right away. The hookah, energy drink mix, and Deluxe pizza were all on point. The pizza dough really stood out.

I got E. coli from this place, and I truly wish I were exaggerating…read more As you can see from my profile, 1 rarely ever leave reviews, especially negative ones. I also did not act difficult or demanding during our visit. The service was poor from the start. Last Monday we went and the waitress forgot to bring our drinks and the hookah. I would look directly at her as she walked past our table so she could assist us, but she deliberately avoided eye contact and ignored us as she passed by, as if we bothered her. It wasn't until | got up to ask--when the food arrived--that the hookah was finally brought out. She barely checked on us the entire time. I stayed polite because it was my friend's first restaurant experience in Los Angeles--she was visiting from London--and I didn't want to make things uncomfortable. The waitress didn't know what a cheeseburger was, and I had to point it out on the menu. When it arrived, it didn't taste right, and I didn't finish it. It was so gross. That night and into the next morning, I began vomiting nonstop--far beyond anything a home remedy could help. The vomiting was uncontrollable, which is why I ended up in the hospital. I was diagnosed with E. coli and a kidney infection, which doctors said were caused by food poisoning. Afterward, I mentioned the situation to a friend who lives in the area, and she shared that the place tends to cater to wealthy male clientele and that staff often focus their attention there. That context unfortunately made the dismissive treatment we experienced make more sense, as we were two women dining together. This was not just a bad dining experience--it turned into a serious medical emergency. Please be cautious

The vibe and aesthetic were great. The menu was accessed through a QR code, which was convenient…read more We booked the VIP room for a private party and were able to play our own playlist, which made the experience even better. The DJ on the main floor, however, didn't seem to be mixing much and mostly replayed the same songs after about 30 minutes. The service was spectacular. We ordered three bottles, which came with a pitcher of juice and four hookahs. You could choose to add mint flavor to the hookah or leave it out, though it still had a slight hint of mint even without it. Everyone also ordered individual drinks, which were about $25 each, and the wine bottle was $85. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly. We didn't get the private belly dancers, I guess they didn't come to work. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again for a special event.

HAHAHAHAHAH Waitress…read morethought I was an idiot! We ordered 1 hookah and 2 drinks. The machine showed $180. I am like that is kinda high. I asked her if that included gratuity. She said no, I asked again are you sure she says NO. I couldn't check the machine because before she handed to me she went all the way to the tip scree that said additional tip. I was like this SHADY af. I asked for a receipt and she said printer broken. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. So I grabbed the machine back and put my number in to get the receipt texted to me. Low and behold 22% tip and she charged us for water when I asked for tap water. I go back to her and show her the receipt and she is like oh I don't know what that is. I have never seen that before. Pleassseeeeee What a scam artist, she probably has done that to everyone there but everyone there is on a date and no one wants to be embarassed. Well IDGAF. She offered to give cash back and not tell her boss. Honestly he probably knows. Never going back. Ive been here 8 times. EVERYONE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS!!!

I have been looking to try this fairly new hookah lounge for a while now and I finally got to…read more This hookah lounge is just above DTLA on a fairly quiet street which is nice and Armenian owned and Russian/Ukrainian styled. They do valet - $12 a car. I really disliked that I was practically forced to do valet despite an empty parking lot and no need for any "real" valet services, when I asked the valet guy where else I can park if I don't want valet he just shrugged and said not sure.. I went on a weeknight so it wasn't too crowded, I was quickly seated and had a whole section to myself. Since it's outdoors, it was a little cold however they have blankets + standing heaters. I ordered a shrimp pasta and a pineapple hookah, the pasta was absolutely delicious and came out super quick...the hookah on the other hand...took over 35 minutes to come out. The second thing I disliked was their "hookah" menu, when I asked for one they just said talk to the hookah guy, so I had to ask him what flavors they have and mixes...I would rather look at a menu and have my own options to choose from versus hear them. Also was completely unaware of the prices so that is a little shady. However after finding out, a regular hookah is $35, $40 for a premium Russian brand (I recommend this) and $65 for a grapefruit or pineapple head.... The play house music that was a little loud but nothing too overbearing. Hookah service was great and the coals are changed frequently. Overall - solid hookah spot with clearly good and knowledgeable hookah specialist...downside was the valet / hookah taking forever to come and no menu for hookah. I would however definitely come back though.

I…read morejust saw another yelped had a bad experience and can confirm they're going downhill with cleanliness and food quality + portion. I ordered a chicken fattoush salad- the hot chicken was placed on top of lettuce in the container which wilted and the phot I've uploaded is the amount of salad it came with. Ridiculous literally a few bites which doesn't make sense at all. The dressing and marinade of everything was also overly garlicky and inedible and the bread was not pita and was definitely not zaatar spiced as the menu states. There was way too much bread to salad ratio.
