    We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday and Ari and Laura Dean made the night so special. I cannot express enough how absolutely amazing the both of them are. They kept making sure we were having fun the entire night. They looked so happy to see us happy. They were genuinely so nice. I’ll never forget them. It was a night to remember, all thanks to them!

    Nice place to relax with friends. Quiet on a Sunday but it has a good amount of people other days. Good price and location for a drink to relax

  • Review 3 (2022-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing chill spot. Loved the customer service. Ron manages the location. Really chill spot for a solo hookah session. Perfect cozy spot for friends and a place to continue a date. No food at location. Overall great experience. Ron is very open to music selections.

    Nice cozy spot to chill and hookah. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Def my new fav hookah spot in the city. Prices are reasonable unlike a few other places I’ve been.

  • Review 5 (2021-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    Really chill atmosphere. Great variety of music. Small(maybe about 8 hookah stations) but is a good thing if you prefer more intimate and private setting.

  • Review 6 (2023-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic seating with good music. I like the flavor options but most importantly the hookah was actually good, good flavor and it hit right

  • Review 7 (2022-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Chill with great music and great drinks! The owner is very friendly and funny. We love it here!

  • Review 8 (2018-09-27 - Rating: 4)

    The place is small, and I wouldn’t recommend big groups to go here as you may literally be sharing the couch with someone else. But if you are two or three people, this is a nice place to go at night for hookah. There aren’t any belly dancers(thank God) as with most places that offer cheap hookah. The guy behind the counter is nice and makes good flavors for the hookah.

    Love this spot!!! Me and my friend love to come here and have a good time. the drinks are so good, and the manager made us feel so good being here! I will deff come back

  • Review 10 (2018-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Kinda small but very cozy. The bartender/waiter/cook was running the show and doing it well! He was by himself and managed to seat us and get us out drinks in a timely manner. Good music and good atmosphere for a date ♡.

  • Review 11 (2018-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I visited this lounge on a recent trip to New York. The shisha, food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. The manager was lovely and super attentive. Loved the hip hop music as well. This is definitely a place that we shall return to on our next trip.

  • Review 12 (2022-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Deserves higher rating than 3.8 . Ronnie is very deliberate at serving his customers and he cares about the business that he keeps himself busy cleaning and organizing all the time even at 1am with only 4 customers left on a Thursday.

  • Review 13 (2021-02-13 - Rating: 4)

    The outdoor booths give you the option of playing your own music via bluetooth. But they do offer indoor seating. Only negative is the bathroom is very narrow and if youre not rail thin it will be difficult to maneuver in there.

  • Review 14 (2018-10-07 - Rating: 4)

    First ones here at 5:30pm on a Sunday.Thought it would be a lots more packed.I have to say it is a VERY small place, but very clean and nice.Great service and hookah.Ordered a bottle of Merlot and it was amazing. Only $35. Not bad at all.The have many hookah flavor starting from $15 to $35.Didn’t see many options of cocktails, so if you’re fine with wine or beer, good hookah, this is the place. Tinyy restroom tooNice vibe and good music.Best hookah lounge in this area for sure.Highly recommended!

  • Review 15 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great hookah. Price is lower than expected. Good tea. Definitely recommend this place.

  • Review 16 (2020-01-29 - Rating: 4)

    One of the only places Ive ever been where the owners recommended a less expensive Sheesha :).Pros:- Great selection of Sheesa.- The flavor was strong enough to last for 45 minutes which is not bad at all.- The owner/ server was proactive enough to keep replacing the coal every 40 minutes [which is a pretty big deal in the Sheesha business]- Noise-free and meant for smaller groups.- They have a few vegetarian options as wellCons:- A tad too small maybe. Would be congested in case of larger groups.None the less, certainly a place to visit if youre trying to grab a drink/ Sheesha with a couple of friends

  • Review 17 (2019-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    Nice hookah lounge with a good private feel to it, would definitely recommend as a spot to bring your significant other. Owner is very nice with good music selection.

  • Review 18 (2022-01-31 - Rating: 5)

    This place has been around for years. Ronnie is great and so is the atmosphere. Had a great time here. Stopped by late night during a blizzard for some hookah. Ronnie was the best host. Will definitely be back.

  • Review 19 (2019-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    Cute and cozy...wonderful and knowledgeable staff...

  • Review 20 (2023-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Nice vibe during the week:) hip hop /top 40 , courteous staff.

  • Review 21 (2017-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Had a GREAT time. The service is a bit stand-offish at first but warms up pretty quickly. Awesome playlist (chilled beats from Drake to Missy Elliot, with a little salsa thrown in for good measure) that doesn’t make you go deaf and hoarse from yelling at your date / friends, unlike some of the more upscale hookah places. Small, modest, good hookah and far cheaper than your average Manhattan hookah bar ($15-$25 range).

  • Review 22 (2016-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. If youre looking for a chill place to catch up with friends or a place to start your night in the LES this is it.

  • Review 23 (2016-06-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great service, very attentice. Hookahs are amazing. Get any flavor inside a pineapple, you wont regret it.

  • Review 24 (2017-01-30 - Rating: 4)

    Nice, cozy atmosphere. However, the sangria could have been stronger and really tasted like pineapple juice

  • Review 25 (2018-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Cozy place for Shisha...You have to go there. Gentle employees and a lovely place. Comfortable seats....

  • Review 26 (2019-06-02 - Rating: 4)

    Nice quiet place. Very cozy. Its on the small side but its meant for intimate hookah and not a party

  • Review 27 (2016-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Good shisha, nice friendly service, good east side location. Especially nice (and empty) in the early afternoon.

  • Review 28 (2020-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome hookah place! My new go-to since all karaoke bars are closed due to pandemic.

  • Review 29 (2017-11-17 - Rating: 4)

    Great Place To Hang Out This Winter.

  • Review 30 (2019-04-27 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place but you must buy drinks if you want to sit down.

  • Review 31 (2016-05-04 - Rating: 4)

    Get the mint, not the sweet melon, a little pricey but not horrible. The owner will put sports on if you want!

  • Review 32 (2013-10-18 - Rating: 4)

    These guys are really nice, pretty inexpensive and supply a great atmosphere.

  • Review 33 (2018-09-08 - Rating: 4)

    Good for hookah! Wouldn’t go there for anything else 😬

  • Review 34 (2023-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    Very informative service and beautiful knowledge of hookah. Come here if youve never had great customar service!

  • Review 35 (2022-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    Ronnie was an excellent host. Aziza had top-notch service, the right vibe, a great ambience, and an endless proper hookah experience that didn’t let up for two hours. Thank you! Aziza was such a welcome relief after we visited two nearby hookah bars with substandard service. I’ll be back.

  • Review 36 (2018-08-09 - Rating: 4)

    In a ruff part of town but perfect for a date. Hookah was a little weak tho.

  • Review 37 (2017-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    Music is really good and worker is super nice. Nice vibes

  • Review 38 (2016-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Good vibes, pleasant staff, awesome music and hookah!

  • Review 39 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is my first hookah experience. The door was locked to avoid non-guests and the owner was sitting next to the door.Very friendly. Price is not expensive. Had watermelon flavor. Very comfortable seating.Clean and good atmosphere. I feel this place should have a higher rating.

  • Review 40 (2022-01-05 - Rating: 5)

    Never wrote a review but this place is just great! Great musics! Owner is so chill you can request a songs too… I loved this place ! U’ll have a great vibe and energy here. ❤️❤️ have some wonderful memory here!a

  • Review 41 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 4)

    Attentive server (justifies 4 stars). This establishment is mainly for college students.Not for food, mainly for hookah + some wine.

  • Review 42 (2023-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    Great service, great hookah. will be back!

  • Review 43 (2018-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    The flavors are great, and the service was also friendly.

  • Review 44 (2017-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Really good atmosphere, the music is great and there is a TV with sports if you want. The music is not too loud so you can chat and chill. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The hookah was good. Really good experience. Perfect to relax after a long week. Definitely recommend.

    Marlie was awesome!! We loved the food and vibe!

  • Review 46 (2018-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    Nice humble little spot, no frills but no problems

  • Review 47 (2013-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    The guys at Aziza are the best. They play awesome music, and the decor and atmosphere is amazing. The flavors are the best Ive had at any hookah place, and theyre more than willing to experiment with combinations for you. They have few food options, all of which are more snacks than anything, but they let you bring in food of your own. However, if youre going to have a drink, buy it from them. Their smoothies, and teas are delicious, and they keep their beer and wines at the perfect temperatures.If you want an awesome hookah place that doesnt get overrun with crowds, this is the place to go.(Note: not good for large groups.)

  • Review 48 (2018-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to pregame with some beer, wine, prosecco or champagne. They have good variety of hookah flavors, blueberry mint is my go to. Been going here since 2012, its affordable and worth the money. Excellent service with a great sense of humor.

  • Review 49 (2022-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    Its a small space so you have to make sure to make a reservation during the busy times.The workers are great and will take requests for music

    I definitely recommend this place. During this time of covid when everything is closed or closing early im Happy i found somewhere i can still have a wonderful time .. My outside seating was cozy and warm .. Beautiful lights Around my shed house and a cute speaker i can bluetooth my music to. Hookah was on point .There was always a button i can press if i needed service from the waiter .. so cute .. I was often checked on so no need of the button .. Just a wonderful experience and will be my go to spot often.

  • Review 55 (2017-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Best hookah bar in the city. Flavors are good and the service is friendly. No weird rules about number of people per hookah (i.e. 3 people can share one) and you only need to get drinks on the weekends.

  • Review 56 (2022-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    Always a good time and Ronnie is excellent at vibe curating.

  • Review 57 (2018-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to chill with mint tea and hookah! Great 90s hip hop, went on a Saturday night around 1130 before the crowd came and got a table easily!

    It’s like you are invited to a muslim uncle to chill at his place, nom nom chill food, good price (he put pretty much gratuity on the bill, it was okay though since he had to check a lot)
