    Came here for my wifes birthday, and had a really good time. The owner was really nice and the overall atmosphere was chill. We ended up getting 2 hookahs. The first was Mango Flavored which was really smooth, and the other was vanilla chai which was good, but probably not the best one if you're a novice like we were. In hindsight: Had I known prior to coming that this location was: 1.) BYOB. and 2.) Right next to what looked like a bomb @ss Korean BBQ spot. I wouldn't have made this the last leg of the night. I think you can easily make a night out of just coming here, and having food from next door. It would definitely be way cheaper then getting drinks at a bar, and the music here as Zeze I said in her review was absolutely fire! I was also told that every month they have a belly dancing party. I was advised to follow them on social media for the details, and i'll be doing that right after this...

    I love hookah, a lot and since covid the regulations to close hookah bars down in the city so I had to go all the way in the county, west county! Spot is really nice and clean. I like to try different flavors. They have a large variety. I tried fizzy pop(a mixture of different flavors) Definitely one of my favorite flavors I have tried. The owner was really nice and pleasant we held a brief conversation about him just coming back. Zephyr is a really chill and quiet hideaway! I do wish the music selection was better but I know they have to tend to all guest.

    I went here for the first time right when covid started (beginning of March) and then we went on the quarantine so, I haven't been able to go back. The place is nice and cozy, you have 2 TVs and you can even play video games. They have a BYOB policy too. I will be back

    Wow!! I love this new place! Finally a hookah bar close by to Columbia. The inside is decorated so nice and they have so many hookah options. The music is fire and the bathrooms are spotless. The owner is super friendly and he said they are going to bring a belly dancer. Such a classy spot. Hands down best hookah bar in Maryland. Definitely check it out.

    Upcoming hookah bar. The waitress did not wear mask. But the hookah and everything inside are very fairly priced.

    TINY is one word that comes to my mind when I think of this place. SUPER TINY. It's newly renovated…read moreand has reopened. The website and advertisements say it's a hookah and cigar lounge. That's the main reason we decided to go. The two other people I was with smoke cigars. I don't do neither one (hookah or cigars) but was willing to check it out with them. The owner was super nice and answered all of our questions. So, I would say the service was fine. However, he quickly explained how it was not a cigar lounge because the furniture would not be able to withstand the cigar smell, only the hookah one. There were approximately 10 people in the lounge, which made it "crowded". One thing I noticed was the decor. Nice furnishings and absolutely STUNNING photographs hanging on the wall. It gave a sultry vibe. They don't serve real food there, just bites. However, we didn't really inquire or stay longer than 5 minutes to eat. We had eaten at another location. Overall, if you're into hookah and a lot of smoke everywhere (in a SUPER TINY) local spot, this is your place. I don't see myself returning. There's nothing there for me.

    I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

I can tell you that it is…read moredefinitely not my choice of a fun or relaxed time but my experience was nonetheless great. The lounge is next door to Class 520 and caters a very small, private lot of up to 15 - 20 cars at a maximum. The establishment is dimly lit but well furnished with several tables, chairs and couches. There's a single, gender-neutral bathroom in the back of the lounge for anyone to use. Everything is clean inside and outside the lounge and I appreciate the sanitary measures the employees take with wiping the areas and equipments. Their menu has extensive choices of flavors. I tried their Strawberry Mint which tasted subtle with a hint of sweetness. I don't have much to compare it to since it was my first time, but I did enjoy the flavor. You also have the ability to mix flavors which is a cool add-on. Service here is outstanding. The moment you walk in, you're immediately greeted and seated. My friends and I informed the staff that this was all our first time and they made the effort to explain their recommendations, most popular flavors and how our experience would work. I appreciated their patience with answering our questions and that they were continuously checking up on us. Yelp also has a 15% code available for use which ultimately brought our total to $20 amongst 4 people. Totally affordable and such a great deal. I personally would recommend this place to anyone looking for a hookah lounge in the area.

It's intimate and music isn't too loud, so it's easy to talk. Service is always good, and their menu always has good flavors. Last night I had mint & orange and it was very very good! One of the things I like most about this place is that they do not serve alcohol, so the crowd and energy always feels relaxed. Now unfortunately my rating is due to the bathroom.... Like it was BEYOND gross last night. I haven't been in a while so this had me in disgust.
