    Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie
    Ashmani M.

    I remember coming here for the first time years ago and the staff members use to wear shirts that said "Friends don't let friends smoke hookah on Steinway" LOL Well a few years have passed and I decided to stop by for a second time and I'm very glad I did. I stumbled in around 6pm and lucky for me they had a special going on from 6pm-8pm which consisted of $12 hookahs and $3 smoothies. We all know Ash loves a good special/deal :)! I started with a lemon drop hookah and a strawberry shortcake smoothie. The hookah was awesome! It was lemony with a hint of menthol and it was pulling beautifully. The staff provided great service and maintained the coals very diligently for the 2 hours I was there. The strawberry shortcake smoothie was pretty bomb also! I was very pleased with my second visit at Xhale. The reason I never returned back in the day was because the place seemed like it was being ran by a bunch of incompetent teenagers. Thankfully, I am very happy to see that after all these years the teens have grown up and are providing great service as well as great hookah. I'm usually not a fan of establishments that automatically add gratuity to the bill but because I was satisfied with every aspect overall, I didn't mind the little 20% curveball they threw at me.

    Stuffy inside

    Personally not a fan of Hooka but I was hanging out with some friends who wanted to check the place out. We stopped by once seated got some hooka's , Watermelon mint flavor , didn't try the other. Hooka itself was alright no big deal for me my friends seem to enjoy themselves. As for the place itself decent size with plenty of seating they do play good music. My biggest complain here is the fact that there is no ventilation in this place , makes for a very stuffy establishment .. Hard to just relax in here when just breathing is a challenge. Eyes get pretty watery since the smoke is just so much no real flow of air in this place. If u enjoy Hooka u may find this place better , personally since am not a big fan doesn't really do much for me not like I've never been to a Hooka bar they have been a lot more comfy & not as stuffy inside.

    Really surprised by the horrible reviews some yelpers left on here. I've been coming to this hookah lounge for about 3 years and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself every time. I've tried most of the hookah flavors they serve, my favorites being vanilla chai spice with paan, lemon drops, spongebob and meetha paan. The pull is thick and smooth and they last you a pretty long time. They get their food from two doors down at a little restaurant called Munch, and it's amazing! The burgers, wings, fries, are all great. Love the music they play. I personally enjoy the punjabi music, and they also play mainstream songs which almost caters to everyones preferences. The only reason I wouldn't give them 5 stars is because I feel like they can work on the aesthetics of this place. The wall paint looks worn down and the most of the tables and cushions on the booth are worn down. I've been going to ignited for the past year (which is a fairly new lounge) so every now and then when I come here I seem to compare the cushions and tables to the new ones in ignited. Other than that, it's a great place and I would definitely recommend it!

    Place is trash now. Service is late and negligent. Don't waste your money or time. The hookah quality isn't what it used to be.

We have been going there for years and it has always delivered a good time. The vibe is fun, the music is generally solid, and there is a dance floor to make use of if you are in the mood. Fair warning though -- the speakers are close and the floor can get crowded, so be mindful of where you position yourself or you will be hearing ringing for days afterward. I have actually started considering bringing earplugs on future visits to protect my hearing. It is that kind of loud. As for drinks, I cannot speak to those since I do not drink alcohol. What I can tell you is that the water was perfectly hydrating. The DJ does the usual DJ things -- occasionally cuts a song too early or drops something you are not feeling -- but overall the music selection works and keeps the energy up. I would not come here for a quiet meal. The environment is not built for that. But as a place to gather with friends, celebrate something, and have a genuinely good time, it is a solid local gem.

Came here for happy hour. They had mandated that you order minimum of 8 wings per flavor. My party couldnt finish the wings so we asked to take it to go. First server tells us a Togo box is $3, then he ran off, the second server tells us oh you can't take these to go, then also walks off. Why do you, as the restaurant, get to dictate if I take my food to go so that I don't waste it? This is also in addition to: ranch, blue cheese, celery, which usually comes wings, are ALL $1 additional a piece. Management need to get their shit together before this "what used to be" place become a "well that's not there no more".
