My first time ever coming to Taboo. I saw the place on Instagram and the atmosphere is far better in person. The hostess Bella was so kind, considerate, and courteous. She made my friend and I want to come back. She let us know all of the specials and showed us the belly dancing. She represents the brand excellently and I will return! -

I came for the first time and it was happy hour. It was small but BEAUTIFULLY decorated. My waitress was Bella. She was so sweet and very informative. She gave great drink and hookah suggestions even though she doesn’t consume alcohol! Make sure you visit and ask her! -

This place was one of my favorite spot while visiting New York for the weekend. The staff is amazing. Big thanks to Bella. Her service was excellent!! Bartenders vibes are hilarious. We went there twice since we loved the service. Prices are ok, they offer a good happy hour deal, a little extra ice but still nice drinks. I totally recommend this place. -

So I stumble upon an establishment on Steinway street and as soon as I walked in I felt a weight off my shoulders, the ambiance was incredibly light and sexy, dim lit, the manager greeted us with a warm welcome! My server Andre’s was absolutely exquisite. He made me and my husband comfortable and was well knowledgeable about the menu. I felt like I had known him forever, he brought us to a new level of customer satisfaction!!It was him guiding us through our meal and craft cocktails that created and excellent night that I will never forget, after tonight it isn’t the restaurant but the individual that guides and attends throughout it, that makes the entire experience….with all things said ask for Andre’s! Also he’s georgous haha -

Went to Taboo for the first and had a wonderful time. I want to thank our server Arianna for making our experience very unforgettable. She was super attentive courteous and polite. Her recommendations were excellent and everyone in my party from my cousins to my aunts felt beyond welcomed like VIPs. If you are ever in Steinway and just want a drink or a place with great ambiance check out Taboo and ask for Arianna- you won’t regret it. -

Review 35 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)
Enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. The ambiance was warm, the place was clean. Vibes were chill and calm. They were playing throwback songs from 2010s, which was nice. The Hookah was decent as well. (Priced fairly) Service was nice and attentive. Can’t say much for the food, but the cocktails were delicious (priced a bit expensive for what they were, but that’s normal). Overall I had a pleasant time here. If you are looking for a more young crowd and chill atmosphere, I highly recommend! -

My friends and I had a fantastic experience at Taboo Astoria. Our server, Nicole, was incredibly attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The hookah was top-notch—smooth and well-maintained, thanks to Alpha, who consistently changed the coal. For the quality and price, its definitely one of the best hookah spots in Astoria. Highly recommend! -

The best hookah lounge Ive been in so far. They have the most top notch hookah... just world class. Their cocktails are extremely good. And the food... is just heaven. I tried the chocolate soufflé, so far also the best dessert Ive had, will definitely become a regular customer. -

I was visiting the NYC area for a quick weekend trip from Miami. Although Hookah isnt as popular where I am from, all of my NY friends told me that Steinway is the place to go for a late-night snack, hangout session and of course hookah/drinks/music.Taboo is a newer spot in the area that immediately welcomes you inside with its tropical allure, beautiful crowd and exceptional DJ and music playlist.The place isnt very large, so make sure you come at a great time to secure a table, or you can sit at the bar to purchase drinks. The service is excellent, and the craft cocktails are even better. All of the staff ensure you feel welcomed and satisfied with your experience.Big shout out to the owner Russell! -

Taboo Hookah Lounge and Bar truly exceeds expectations with its vibrant and eclectic atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the warm lighting and inviting decor set the stage for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The variety of hookah flavors is astonishing, ranging from traditional favorites to adventurous creations, all providing satisfyingly thick clouds of smoke. The impeccable cleanliness of the hookahs themselves and the attentiveness in changing coals regularly speak volumes about their commitment to quality. The bartenders are true artists, crafting exquisite cocktails that tantalize the taste buds, complementing the aromatic shisha perfectly. Service is a standout feature, with staff being both friendly and professional, ensuring that every patron feels like a VIP. The sound system delivers a selection of music that is both trendy and fitting, adding an energizing backdrop to the laid-back chatter. Prices are competitive, offering great value for the premium experience provided here. Taboo’s regular events and theme nights keep the vibe fresh and exciting, guaranteeing that no two visits are ever the same. Its a top-tier destination for anyone looking to unwind in style amidst great company. -
