Date: Saturday, 9 PM, April 2025…read more Service: Hmmm, well sugar, finding service here felt like going on a little treasure hunt. I followed some voices and finally struck gold! Note to self: next time, do a quick scout because after settling in the front area--cute with fabulous lighting--I stumbled upon a backroom that oozes moody, intimate vibes. After our little game of hide-and-seek, the lady who attended to us was as delightful as a peach. She even brought ice and mixers for our BYOB setup--oh, and a little tip, bring your own snacks too if you fancy! Ambiance: Darlin', if you're into marble floors, walls, and soft moody lighting, this place is a southern belle's dream for ambiance. It's giving sophisticated charm with just the right touch of mystery. Taste & Textures: Honey, this hookah was nothing short of a revelation! High-quality, smooth as butter. I got the Love 66 and vanilla mix--let me tell y'all, it was a match made in flavor heaven. Value: Let's talk numbers--hookah, no refill, a Red Bull, and some ice set us back about $47. Now, call me picky, but for that price, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a happy hour deal! TLDR: If you're not too far from the area, it's a solid spot for some quality vibes and good hookah. For me, livin' downtown, I wouldn't go out of my way unless they're running a deal.

My experience at Red Room (Mr. Soul) was incredible. What really sets this place apart is how it…read morecelebrates African culture through both the food and the vibe. The suya was absolutely on point--perfectly seasoned with that authentic spicy, smoky flavor that hits exactly how it should. You can tell they respect the roots of the cuisine. The atmosphere brings everything together. The Afrobeat music flowing through the room creates an energy that makes the whole place feel alive. It's one of those spots where you're not just eating--you're experiencing the culture. Great food, great music, and a vibe that feels warm and soulful. If you're in Atlanta and want a place that blends African flavor with a lively Afrobeat atmosphere, the Red Room at Mr. Soul is definitely worth the visit.

Yesterday I had a craving for some Suya and french fries and was charged $27 total. I'm going to be…read more100% honest it was not the best quality food. I feel like they need to upgrade their fries vendor. They tasted old and I was underwhelmed. There's better quality fries in this industry, especially just for the price point. It's overpriced and the quality is just not up to par. I don't mind spending money when it makes sense but this doesn't make any sense. It's probably other items on the menu that might be better quality. The suya it was dry in some parts tastes like it was heated up in the microwave and not fresh. The flavor just wasn't there. I've just had better elsewhere so I'm disappointed. I love the ambience of this lounge. It's always a good time. No complaints there.

The people who run the place and those they hire to work here is what has made it last. You can have goods and services provided to you anywhere but if you don't feel welcomed and taken care of, what the business offers is irrelevant. The food is good. The hookah is good. The drinks are good. And the prices are reasonable! Always have been. Which is to be appreciated in Atlanta. The atmosphere is great and shifts depending on when you come. As a two sided lounge (day time & night life) you can get the best of both worlds at one place. The day time side allows people to come for anything from a calm place to do some work, have a business meeting, bring a date, etc. the night time side gives you an intimate party experience with talented DJs and no commotion. I've brought everyone here from friends, to family (including my mom) and acquaintances. I love it here and they have a life long customer!

There was a security guard checking IDs, but it also made me feel safer parking there, so no complaints. The lounge itself is pretty spacious, with mostly sectional seating that can fit at least 8 people--definitely great for groups. I went on a Friday night around 11 p.m., and the crowd was just right. It wasn't overly packed or rowdy, but people were still having fun, and the music was really good. My friends and I had already eaten, so we just ordered hookah, which was only $25--super reasonable, and it was decent quality. The server came around to check on us every so often, which was nice. I think the lady who checked us out was Meron, and she was cool and efficient. Overall, great place for hookah, music, and a chill vibe. I'd definitely come back to try their drinks and maybe check out the food next time!

We started with the mezze trio served with crudité and pita bread. All of the dips were fresh and flavorful, my personal favorite was the labneh. It was smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious! For our entrees, I ordered the chicken kabob and my mom chose the lamb kabob. Both dishes came with a grilled tomato, peppers, a red onion salad, rice, and an assortment of sauces. The veggies were refreshing and slightly sweet, and the meats were perfectly seasoned and juicy!! And the sauces were all amazing and truly elevated the entire meal. From the food to the experience, everything was exceptional. We will absolutely be back, and I highly recommend Layaly for a special occasion or any time you want an outstanding meal!

I was offered a table vs. my go to (bar seating) I'm assuming because they weren't very busy. The server was very friendly and made great recommendations, so I went with the chicken kebab. This was marinated in a delicious mixture of flavors and was very tender. The basmati rice was fragrant and steaming hot. For dessert, they recommended the knafeh, a sweet, cheesy, and crunchy traditional dish. This dish came with warmed orange blossom simple syrup which just set the tone for the entire dish. It was so delicious, nothing like I've ever had. The perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy. I will definitely come back here and try more food and definitely that Dubai chocolate cheesecake!

One of the best parts is how easy it is when you arrive--you can walk right in, pick your table, and get settled without any hassle. They have call buttons at each table to request a server, which makes ordering seamless. The service was really good--attentive, quick, and consistent throughout. The hookah itself was a standout. They offer a wide range of flavors, ice hoses, and use silicone bowls, which I personally love. Everything was smooth and well-prepared. There was also a DJ playing, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, and they have a large menu with plenty of food options. I tried the wings--they were decent, nothing special--but overall, the experience, hookah quality, and service make this a solid spot to come back to.

It was a pleasant, an exotic flavorful taste. The hookahs are my absolute fav! I actually visited this place 3 times in 1 week. The hookahs are $10. I add the ice hose for an extra charge. It keeps the hookah smoke cold. They're not harsh whatsoever. The owners are always there, making sure everyone is happy. I love the fact that they allow you to play whatever music you want. If I'm ever back in Georgia I will be back.

But it's tucked off in Buford highway, downtown Atlanta or Buckhead which is where you may think it should be. It's in a shopping strip mall so there's free parking. That's good. And there's abundant parking so keep that in mind. They had a decent menu, I went there on a Tuesday and it had a taco Tuesday kind of situation. The chicken, steak, and birria tacos. I had a margarita, which was nothing major. I sat at the bar and ate. The birria tacos are pretty good. They didn't come with the type of consume that you would expect with this type of Taco, but they had a couple of other sauces. Just be where you got a bottle tacos two at a time so you can't just get one if you want to do the special. Everything else for the most part. As far as entrees go look to be on the high end, which doesn't shock me. I guess. Maybe not the super high end but having a couple of margaritas and a bunch of tacos shouldn't cost you like $60. To be fair. I did get six tacos, but still LOL. Again, I sat at the bar and it was okay. Bar service really wasn't super fast at all (which is why I couldnt give it a higher rating), which I couldn't understand because it wasn't even crowded. But it was just something to note.
