    Trying out this place!
    B D.

    Tried the mixed platter and it absolutely delivered. Every bite felt intentional and balanced. The meats were perfectly grilled--juicy, flavorful, and with just the right char. The shrimp stood out, tender and well-seasoned, while the beef and chicken were equally satisfying. Paired with warm, soft pita, the hummus and tzatziki elevated everything--creamy, fresh, and full of flavor without overpowering the dish. The sides complemented the platter beautifully, especially the rice and grilled vegetables, adding texture and variety. You can tell there's real attention to quality and execution here. The ambiance sealed the experience. Cozy lighting, clean design, and a relaxed outdoor patio created a vibe that's perfect for a date or a chill night out. Service felt smooth and welcoming without being intrusive. Overall, everything just clicked--food, atmosphere, and experience. This is the kind of spot you come back to, not just for the meal, but for the full vibe.

    Ambiance is on point. Came to try out and gives off clubbing vibes (especially when u don't go out anymore) I would come back and try other dishes.

    Stopped by after our dinner at nearby restaurant. Cute decor and bar was loaded with classy bottles. I tried the Nevee Say Never which was easy to drink. Bartender was friendly. Definitely coming back to try out their food next time!

    Good burgers!

    Came by for an early dinner and was really impressed with the quality of the food. The Caesar was well dressed, the burger perfectly medium with a hint of the grill and the waffle fries perfectly seasoned. The spaghetti arrabbiata was done to perfection - just the right amount of spice and nice al dente chew. Will return if in the neighborhood!

    The Manti and wings were average. Service and servers were very attentive and nice. Ambiance is nice too. Their mule is made nicely Hookah is $35 for upto 3 flavors

    Modern and elegant decor, nice ambiance for some photos. Really like the gold chairs and the set up. You enter and first there's a bar if you just want a drink, go further in and there are dining tables, further in is another room for hookah. Def a club vibe with the upbeat music, a place to party Hookah gets popular after 9pm. Into the late hours Friendly and kind staff Food- -mix platter for 2 people: a good medley of chicken, Shrimp, lamb, baba ghanoush, Taziki sauce, super thin pita. I like the variety to choose from and try it all -Mara's ice cream: very interesting, it's shaped as an oval piece and very creamy, thick texture, good to share for two people -baba ghanoush eggplant dip comes with plenty of small pita triangle pieces. I love a good dip to start the meal Great addition to this area!

    Wife and I had a good time here! It's the closest I want to get to clubby vibes as I age: loud-ish rhythmic music, other guests all dressed up, an entertaining couple fighting outside, it was a fun dinner! The food was good (but not amazing and a tad slow), good presentation, and service was very kind. I would be open to coming back.

    Tried ordering delivery online via their website, but it didn't work. Called in and they didn't know why that was the case so switched to takeout. Baba ghanoush: Nice overall flavors and comes with a side of pita Fettucine with chicken: Very disappointing. The chicken was dry and the sauce lacked much flavor. Would not recommend. Margarita pizza: They must have messed up, because we got just a cheese pizza, which isn't even on the menu. Chicken Pesto pizza: Nothing special. Manti: Missing flavor. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the overall flavor profile. Perhaps it would taste better dine-in, but I can't recommend it for take-out.

    I came on a Tuesday after dinner for drinks and hookah last minute. I've always seen the cute LED sign and aesthetic on Yelp, and it's the exact same inside. They even have a blanket on the back of the chair in case you're cold. The staff are all so friendly and helped make it real homey. Their hookah was pretty good, we had a premixed one from the menu. Their strawberry lemon drops were fantastic, I easily took down 4.

    Society was honestly such a laid-back spot to unwind. Good energy, smooth playlists and a super chill atmosphere. I didn't partake in the hookah but I would come back here if I was looking for hookah options, though it was on the pricier side than other lounges I've been to. How perfect that the food was equally great! The authentic flavors really stood out to me, you can tell that fresh ingredients were used! We tried the fried chicken slider, brussel sprouts, wild mushroom pizza, and manti (turkish dumplings). 10/10 for all of them! The waffle cut fries in particular that came with the sliders were so crispy. Brussel sprouts was amazing and also very crispy, drizzled with the right amount of parm. I was very intrigued by the turkish dumplings and it was delicious; the yogurt sauce paired so well with them. There was only a handful of customers at the time we ordered our food so it wasn't busy but the pizza and dumplings did take quite a bit of time to come out. I'm assuming this might be due to them being made-to-order to ensure freshness/flavor but we did get hungry waiting. Aside from this, we had a very positive experience and the place was just a good overall feel.

    I enjoyed a girl's night dinner with a friend, and both the atmosphere and the cuisine were excellent. Our service was timely and attentive, and the host was exceedingly kind and pleasant. To start, I had a salad and tzatziki with pita bread, which was tasty and substantial. We were halfway full when our dinner arrived. My friend had the beef dish, and I ordered the fish piccata, all of which were delicious and well cooked. They do provide hookah, but we don't partake but for those that do should know thats available. The whole restaurant is so nice. I would definitely come again.

    Tonight was truly a night to remember. Our server Onur, as well as his peers tended to us from start to finish. This level of hospitality is unmatched and most of all, genuine. Our party of 4 ordered pizza, hummus, salad, wings, cocktails and of course, hookah! The best hookah I've ever had. The food was served fast, hot and fresh. Cheers to the bartender for perfectly crafted cocktails and spirits. The weather was perfect for an Al fresco style dinner and we took advantage of it. The Heat lamps were on and blankets were draped on our chairs. This place is a gem and I cannot wait to return.

    Lychee Martini
    Taylor W.

    Came here for a farewell dinner and loved the vibes. We sat in the back because the group wanted to use the hookah. I didn't try any of the food but the dishes that the group ordered looked very good. My lychee martini was strong, which I loved. Our server was hilarious and made for a very fun night.

I stopped in for a sandwich before heading to work, and it hit the spot. The sandwiches are big, flavorful, and filling. I ordered the #2 Smokin Sequoia and was not disappointed. Service was fast and friendly, and the people working there were cool. They have a full wall of sandwich options, so there is plenty to choose from. You will not leave disappointed, especially if you are hungry. Flavor: 8/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Will I come back? Yes

I did not even know it existed, and now I am wondering how I missed out for so long. A huge bonus is that my partner enjoys hookah from time to time, and this place does both sandwiches and hookah really well. The sandwiches are unique and full of flavor, and the hookah options are just as impressive. My partner loved it, and we both agreed we will definitely be coming back. We arrived right when hookah service started at 5 pm, which is when you can place hookah orders every day. The Dutch crunch roll was absolutely amazing. I am already craving it again and would recommend getting any sandwich on that bread. It is a must try and easily a ten out of ten. The location is in downtown Redwood City with plenty of parking available all around. I can tell this place gets very busy during peak hours and on weekends. By the time we left, it was already packed, even on a Monday night.

We walked in and waited quite some time before we saw someone to seat us, let's call that strike one. They use QR ordering at the tables so we found our selection and placed our first order. Our hookah server came by & asked us if everything was okay and offered us beer or wine as this wasn't on the actual menu, he wasn't aware of what type of wine was offered, strike 2. Not only did our order take a lifetime to come out but our beer was forgotten twice. As a joke I started a timer to see how long it would take to receive our last drinks. The timer stopped at 50 mins, strike 3. Overall, wouldn't return as service was subpar; hummus sampler was good though.
