Let's get into this Hookah! If you're #HookahPapi like me, this place is IT! I walked in around 4:30/5, on a Friday, right after work, and was greeted by the owner. Great conversation, and he recommended a super smooth and tasty flavor for me to smoke -- Captain America. No lie, this was probably the best Hookah I've smoked in a very long time. A short while after, my boys came and they all agreed that the hookah was top notch. Not only was it a good smoke, it was Happy Hour and was only $14!!!!!! Minutes away from my job, literally, I already told my co-workers about this place and let's just say .. I'll be back! read more

It's never been updated but they no longer serve food. Yet, that are still called a restaurant. They only had milkshakes and not every flavor was available. I had the Oreo milkshake and it was fine. They didn't have the bubble tea, that was listed on their menu, either. Other than that, it seemed very popular for hookah. My friends seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed the music playing and couldn't help but dance lol You are allowed to bring food from outside in so keep that in mind if you wanted to come eat and smoke. read more

Dope spot to smoke hookah on Steinway . There are many spots on the same block but I like this . They have good hookah and great service . I usually order the Pakola with Deadpool it's a house mix . It's very smooth and tends to last long as it comes with a Kaloud Head . They have a good happy hour from 2pm to 7pm everyday. read more

3 years later, still enjoying the hookah here! It's probably the best spot on Steinway for quality hookah. My favorite flavors to smoke here are Aphrodite + Kamoon. The hookahs last about 2 hours which is the perfect time. They have flavors for all different taste palates so you won't be disappointed! They recently upgraded their menu and the spicy wings are so delicious served with fries and salad with a tamarind vinaigrette type dressing. Definitely will be trying more soon. The service here is amazing and they are always attentive and take care of regulars. Abdul and Karim are so nice and helpful always and keep the place running smooth. We come here about twice a week and will continue to support! read more

I have to say at first I was a tad bit annoyed we walked in at about 11:00pm on Saturday night with my husband . No one had taken our order nor even realized we had been seated. But, the owner noticed and made sure to make eye contact and from then on out the evening was smooth sailing ! I appreciate the recovery , && they're hookah is def one of the best I've had ! The shakes were also very tasty!! I will defiantly come back for a date night again. The atmosphere isn't too rowdy but also not dead! read more

We decided to come here for my cousins birthday. We had called in earlier to make reservations but when we walked in, it didn't seem like our reservations were ever put down. We were seated in a space for 4-5 and we were a party of 6. We asked for a bigger space but they didn't have anything at the moment. Once we got settled and comfortable, the evening got better. Ordered some wings, pakora, and some drinks. Our waiter came and helped us decide on our hookah flavors. Since we were all divided on which to pick he gave us two of his popular ones and told us if we don't like them, he'll change them. The food at this place was really good. We had lamb chops , salad and a kabob dish. My favorite were the chops! Nicely cooked without being overdone like you find in most places. Overall the night just flew by. The staff kept coming and changing the coals without us having to ask and we had a great time. read more

Villa has a 7 day happy hour from 2-7 pm where all hookahs are $14! Monday - Wednesday offers $18 specials and the normal price is $22 for a hookah. Ice hoses are an additional $5, and the bubble tea is $9. Pink panther and lit lychee were delicious as were the lychee bubbles. Their coffee is also really lovely. Gratuity is included in the bill after a certain time, which is helpful, and bring cash for tips! Food is great, and portions are very large for the price. We had the chicken appetizer and the curry with pita. So flavorful and filling! The service was very attentive, and they had a really enthusiastic and energetic belly dancer as entertainment after around 10 pm! The bathroom is really spacious and clean, which I always appreciate. Overall, Villa is a really competitively priced establishment with great hookah (lasts about 3 hours), delicious food, and awesome service! read more

Pros 1- Amazing food and bubble teas. 2- Awesome hookah flavor, i mean really good, one of the best hookah places i have ever been. I go there most of the time for my hookah session. Their flavors are unique and different than any other spots around NYC. 3- Staffs are very friendly, they will make you feel home. 4- Food is always on point. They are very delicious and fresh. You have to try their villa sauce. Its a must. 5- They also have a nice interior. And time to time on events they decor the place and it looks really nice inside. (check out the 360 view on google) 6- They have a lot of board games. Its a nice place to chill on weekdays. 7- They have slamming shakes and bubble teas. Cons 1- Over the weekend it gets a little loud, but thats pretty much everywhere. 2- NO ALCOHOL, but its a halal place. All foods are halal. If you don't wanna get drunk and still have a good time this is the spot. Definitely deserves a 5 star read more

Having been to countless hookah lounges, this by far is the best of the best with no else place coming close! From the moment you step inside, you will be treated With RESPECT and attended to till the moment you walk out. The decor is classy and beautifully done. The owner has perfected his hookah flavors and each one is prepared to near perfection. Forget your standard flavors, as the flavors here are unique and of the highest standard. From distinct paan flavors to fruit flavors, their special mixes make them truly special. The fruit flavor mixes are named after the Marvel-DC characters and combining them truly gives you options that are outta this world! My fav combination is the iron man-green arrow (passion fruit and watermelon) with a hint of Deadpool. I cannot get enough of this. Besides the best hookah in NY or anywhere for that matter, the food is extraordinary and succulent. From their appetizers as Spicy (masala) fries to customizing them with sweet potato to cheese fries. The chicken pakoras are cooked to perfection. From their main entrees, their burgers and Afghani style bbq ranging from beef kofta to chicken tikkas over rice, their truly mouthwatering. THe rice is amazing with its unique flavor and accompanied Salad. Their bubble teas and shakes are well done too! My favorite is the Rooh Afza Milkshake and the passion fruit bubble tea with lychee jelly mashed up inside...! Overall, the ambience is amazing, the staff is attentive, courteous and humble. This place truly is the gem for a full experience of some of the best food and the absolute perfect hookah experience!!! Come one, Come ALL, Villa is the only place to call home!!! read more

Loved their service and their selection of flavors! As soon as we walked in we were seated right away. The server kept on coming to change our coals and to make sure we are okay. I do recommend choosing an exotic flavor that they have like "Kashmiri chai" and not ordering the basic ones like blueberry mint or something because I felt, their specialty were those exotic flavors. The blueberry mint just tasted like a mixture of paan and something else. Also, their music selection is amazing!! I've never enjoyed music at a hookah bar but their music gave such a chill vibe! DEFINITELY would go back! read more

Good hookah spot in queens. Def give a try. Will be back for more thanks! Staff is nice explain the menu. read more

With all the places to go in Astoria, I don't eat or smoke anywhere else. The food and sheesha selection is unmatched. The staff is awesome and Jay (and his wife) are amazing hosts. Always a great time! read more

Okay, maybe tonight is an off night. First the restaurant seems to have a policy of not giving guests glasses of water which is step one in restaurant business. Second, they litterally didn't have over fifty percent of the items of the menu. The server cited a missing supply "delivery" I'm very disappointed. No milkshakes, no bubble tea The wings I ate weren't the best. They tried to make up my missing food items by offering substitutions but even it was disappointing. Management has to pick up the level of service. The servers are overwhelmed and to be fair they are trying their best. But for a restaurant not to have required items and lack luster service on a Saturday night is horrible. This expirience ruined my night. My friend waited over 30 minutes for her food and she was first to order. This restaurant has to make a choice of either being a hooka place or a restaurant. The server seemed more frustrated than I was. read more

Villa Restaurant & Lounge - Hookah Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Restaurant has cool theme decor during the holidays such as halloween and winter when first opened. Hooka is good. Service is good as well. They have variety of food and drink menu which is good as well. They have happy hour which can see at restaurant or call to inquire about. It takes a long time for bubble tea order to be ready if ordered in large groups. Im guessing its because they can only make it one at a time with the equipment they have and their main item on menu is hooka, not bubble tea. They also have several games such as jenga and other board games which makes it fun to come and pass time. Other that, this is def a place worth a visit for food and hooka. read more

Villa Restaurant & Lounge - Special hooka head. If u want it, must order hours in advance because it takes time to make. Very cute! - Hookah Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Initially, I came here for a yelp event. I returned because the hookah is oh so good! I got Captain America -- mmm i loveeeee fruity flavorsssssss. (A must try!) My friend and I got here around 11:30pm. There were many empty seats. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly. Parking is a total nightmare in this area so goodluck... that's all i have to say. I will be returning to try the food and dranks! read more

Amazing service, the hookah is alway fresh and the staff is very attentive. Most hookah lounges I have gone to never bring fresh coals and rarely check up on you. This is not the case. The owner and staff know their customers and often remember what you like. Easily one of the best places in Astoria, if not the city. They have also recently updated the looks of the place and it's beautiful read more

This place used to have the best hookah around. But now the hookah burns out very quickly. They put half lit coals on and that makes the hookah burn out and taste very bad. You have to constantly ask for the hookah to be fixed. The people around us were also commenting about the quality of the hookah. More than once, we've gotten there for their "happy hour" and we've had to get the check fixed multiple times before they finally get it right with the "happy hour" pricing. Sometimes they argue "you ordered this after the time was up" but they should have a time in their system as to when the order was put in. If not, listen to the customer. We are regulars and never say much about the bill. We wouldn't sit there and argue over a few dollars it's just the principle of the matter. The first time we went there, we only ordered one bubble tea and were charged for 6. We didn't realize until after we had already left and decided not to say anything since we planned on going often and it would probably have been an argument anyways. The fact that they only allow two cards per check is ridiculous since often times parties of 5-10 people go in and it's not convenient to only use two cards. Tonight they didn't allow us to get a cup of ice with a soda. Their reason being "people could mix alcohol into their drink." No other hookah lounge on Steinway does that. You ask for a cup of ice, you get a cup of ice. It was pretty ridiculous. read more

We went yesterday to celebrate our friend birthday and we ordered 2 hookah, tea, fries and chicken wings. But just get one hookah. We stayed more than hour.. we asked both staff about order, they didn't respond well. They gave us reason of shooting, and said kitchen is closed and they are closing..what the f**k is that. when we came there's no shooting, not full. So what about the customer who came there. One of the bad experience... Ever. read more

Villa Restaurant & Lounge - We came yesterday and we ordered 2 hookah, tea , fries and chicken wings.for our friend birthday. . We just get one hookah. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

The hookah was decent I've had better. It's more of a Bengali chill spot. I recommend you go here if you really have money to waste I got 2 hookahs and payed 61. Its above average on Steinway or my bill had a mistake. Please get better employees I asked for a Snapple twice before I left. If I'm giving a 5 star it because of the girls who I meet their not because of you hookah or costumer service. I recommend you go their. Theirs a lot of pretty Girls their. read more

I really liked this lounge, they offer tons of cool flavors of hookah like my favorite was the spicy mango and watermelon. In addition the snacks where good, and their Ferrero Rocher Shake is a must try! It's amazing. The atmosphere is super cool, music is not too loud and you could play board games with your friends. Price is good as well, it's a chill spot. I'd recommend and totally go back. read more

Great hookah lounge! Came for my 24th birthday and was given great service! Our server Nibir was very nice, very helpful even though we were a little annoying with the flavors and our hookah being too strong haha! Highly recommend everyone to come and get their "villa chai" & "captain America" hookah, amazing service. read more

Great hookah. Service can be spotty sometimes. But things got a lot better after Zeeshan took over. If you have any issues he's the man to go to. Great customer service from his part. The food is great. Definitely try their wings with villa sauce. My go to hookah flavor is captain America. They also have killer bubble tea. And don't forget to try their desi chai. All in all great hookah with awesome happy hour and really good food and drinks. If you're on Steinway you HAVE to try this spot. read more

Villa is one of the better lounges on Steinway now. The crowd is usually the young to mid 20s. The decor is excellent and they change it depending on the season. The hookah is great, they use kloud loutuses on every hookah and it really helps with the heat management and smoothness of the hookah. They also have great food. They also take card instead of only cash which is always a plus on Steinway. Prices are definitely on the higher end but with the happy hour deals you're rarely paying the full price. read more

In summary: Best hookah on Steinway, board games, nice decor, great food, music has gotten better (since ~April 2018) now that they started bringing DJ Qlimaxx and others on more. I live in the area and go to Villa regularly. They used to take reservations, but do not do so anymore. This is a bit of a turn off for the large group I usually come with, but they typically are able to seat us quite quickly anyway. Service is amazing, everyone who works there is so helpful! Villa makes their own hookah flavors. I was skeptical at first, but I've loved every flavor I've tried. My group loves Pakola & Captain America the most, but you will likely not be disappointed by any flavors here. They come around to check your coals regularly. One of my friends doesn't even smoke hookah and she comes here just for the chicken pakoras & chaat fries! The food is great. Update (June 2018): My major complaint for Villa used to be the music when DJ Rhien was there more often. I've noticed that they have DJ Qlimaxx there more often now, and I think DJ Smokey (and maybe others), and the music is back to being great. The DJs on weekend days are skilled and mix bollywood, dancehall, hip hop, top 40 quite well! It's a good chill vibe during the week, too. Their special event nights are fun, like when they show wrestling. I'm not sure why they have a belly dancer on Ladies Night, and the discount isn't great for ladies on Ladies Night, but me and my girls go anyway on weeknights because it's just a good spot. read more

hands down the best hookah lounge in Queens with the most amazing service. Shoutout to Nafis, he's very friendly. The food and drinks there are just as good. Villa is definitely my go-to when I'm in for the chill vibes, good music and great hookah. Always have a great time every time! read more

Amazing place beyond exceptional service offered! The guys here are sweet hearts!!! The hookah was also the best I have had! Definitely will be my place to hang out in NYC and highly highly recommend to give this your first pick. And let's not forget music!! The music was outstanding played desi to hip to hip mix. Wished I had another night in NYC, I would have definitely spend another evening at this place. read more

If you want really good hookah and food this is the spot to come to! The staff is super friendly and attentive, especially with coals and fixing the hookah at any time. They use lotus bowls and coconara coals. The music is always great, if you're into English, Punjabi or old school Bollywood this is the place! read more

Villa Restaurant & Lounge - Superman and white hypnotic. - Hookah Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Customer service was very bad. As soon as I walked in no one had greeted me at the door and asked if I wanted a table. When I was seated it took the staff twenty minutes for them to take my order. I asked for a speciality flavor and the staff had told me they were out of that one. This conversation went on for several minutes with the staff informing me they had only 10 flavors out of the various selections on the menu. No one attended to us after we got the hookah especially when the coal was running low. When it was time to pay I used cash. The change I received was incorrect. When I ask for the rest of my change the staff got disgruntled and said he would be right back. He gave me the remaining change in pennies which was almost a dollar. If I could give this place 0/5 stars I would. I will not be returning to this establishment ! read more

Nice flavors of hookahs and hospitality, I would definitely going recommend once to visit. Music was good also we were lucky to witness Brazilian belle dance which was good. Surely visiting again read more

The service here is great, the staff are attentive and friendly. I went here with a friend of mine and we ordered the wrong flavor and the staff was really nice to change it for us. The flavor that I really like is fantastic four, it's very smooth. This place gets very crowded making me feel all claustrophobic and all also the music is super loud even though the songs are super good.I try to avoid coming to late I can't stand when the music is super loud, because let me tell you it's so loud that me and my friend can't hear each other. Overall this place is great and I def recommend people to come here. read more

Good service and seems like a new business trying to make it so show support. Navid and Nabir , the servers are always super chill, very friendly and always greet you warmly. Food is descent priced and it tastes good. I like the tea pot and friends do hookah so really chill vibes. (Great selection of board games) On my second visit now and update Initially had to beg for better seating then Hookah was pretty disappointing even after the management tried to fix it but not a lot of smoke came out read more

I came here for a yelp elite event and this place was very cool. I really liked that the owner was by the door greeting everyone that walked through it; a great personal touch. I don't typically smoke hookah but, this place had very good hookah with unique flavors. They also served bubble tea! Hookah and bubble tea makes a great combo. Who would've known! The food was delicious. No complaints! read more

Nice place to lounge. Great customer service. Great hookah! Great DJ! Thanks for the great hospitality.

Hands down the best shisha in NYC. Food and service is amazing here! Highly recommend!

It's a nice environment I come here often. The service is amazing especially Karim and hamim are really nice and kind as servers. The music is not as loud but Thursday-Saturday night the DJ comes and makes the crowd really hype. You should definitely come here and check this place out. read more

Amazing food, great shisha, and an incredible vibe! The chicken makhni, grilled chicken, and jalapeño poppers are a must. The service has been phenomenal every time that we have come, Arman was always quick to fix the coal and Nabir brought our shisha and food out moments after we ordered. Plus they have board games and a dope music selection! Definitely our go-to lounge on Steinway. read more

This place has terrible service. I ordered a Red Bull and it was warm so I asked for a cup of ice and they said they can't give it to me because they think people bring liquor to mix their drinks. If thats the case they should step their security up then they wouldn't have that problem. read more
