    This place is overall good but it could be better. Sometimes the hookah is great and sometimes it’s just fine. I like that they let you bring food from outside to enjoy. Nice place to hangout, smoke hookah and enjoy a game.

    Do you love Hookah? Arabic lounge where you can enjoy either Arabic tea coffee or pastry.And the price is CHEAP comparing to the city!We got two round of tea and Turkish coffee with two hookah for $34 ONLY !The team is amazing and helpful!I don’t know if you care (I do) but the restroom is CLEAN !Otherwise if you don’t smoke hookah you might not love the place.Keep going guys!

    One of my favorites for shisha, Arab coffee, mint tea and karkade: theres a pleasant and peaceful patio out back. Surprisingly, theyve redone the spotless restrooms with Japanese style bidet toilets.

    Ive been coming here for years, and it never disappoints! Hookah was amazing, the ambiance and music were great and the staff was very friendly 👌

  • Review 6 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 4)

    Nice quite place, service was kinda slow, no one came to ask for coals, had to call them 3 times. Music is not loud like other places around, so you can sit and talk.

  • Review 7 (2019-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Hookah starts at $10 for basic flavors. They also change the charcoal every 15-20 minutes and unlike some places dont charge extra for it.Although they have a few pastries, you can also bring food in from outside.They also have cards and board games. All-in-all this is a really good spot.

  • Review 8 (2016-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    They have the best hookah in town, very friendly staff but the only problem is the wait time! So yeah if you guys are looking for decent and less expensive hookah bars. here is one.

  • Review 11 (2020-01-28 - Rating: 4)

    A great hookah spot in Astoria with an outdoor patio: perfect for a sunny day. Some of the flavors are amazing, others are a miss. Be careful of what you order and ask for recommendations! Service is fast and friendly; when we went there was only one guy waiting on the whole lounge but doing a fantastic job.

  • Review 12 (2023-03-15 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 14 (2021-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    Love the hookah here. The service is amazing and the staff is very welcoming. I have been going here for close to 10 years.

  • Review 15 (2020-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    The hookah is reasonably priced and the ambience is good as well. The bathrooms are super clean so that probably also indicates dedication of the owner in maintaining the place.

  • Review 16 (2018-03-09 - Rating: 4)

    Its a good place for hooka, service is awesome, and you get treated very well here. it is short of 5 stars for two reasons 1) they dont take credit cards 2) it can get super crowded in there especially late weekends and they try to squeeze everyone in

  • Review 17 (2017-08-31 - Rating: 5)

    Hookahs are great and really affordable, starting at 11.99 with a variety of different flavors. Additionally, they are very attentive to your needs and have great smoothies!!

  • Review 18 (2018-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    Great hookah at good price. Excellent customer service.One of the few lounges that dedicate hookahs to same flavors instead of mixing them, which leaves a nasty taste

  • Review 19 (2019-06-15 - Rating: 4)

    Some of the staff are not friendly as others. Although they have best hookah . Also they have open roof sit in the back. Which is usually busy in summer time.

  • Review 20 (2016-06-25 - Rating: 4)

    I love this place because of their nice roomy patio. The hooka is also very good and better than the regular hooka bars next door. Service is nice.

    Pretty nice place to hangout. It might be a little small for some but its traditional middle eastern feeling is nice. The music is usually pop remixes but switches to middle eastern tunes after dark. Id recommend.

    Me and my friends needed a chill hookah spot after dinner. We came here and the vibes were very chill and the music was good. We got hookah with the pineapple head (mint) and it was really good. They dont sale liquor or food, just hot drinks/smoothies. And the prices here were really good for this area!

    Cozy with the best staff ever u feel like ur home

  • Review 53 (2018-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    On my first time there I dropped the Charcoal on my jacket and the sofa. The staff helped me very fast and told me it was OK. I kept apologizing and they treated me well. One of them even cleaned my jacket. Best customer service ever.I asked for the king hookah and a bottle of water.The hookah was great and it quickly gave me a buzz.The total was 24 dollars. 20 for the hookah, 2 for the water and 2 for tax. It was a great experience and I will be back but this time I will not burn my jacket.The hookahs star at 11 dollars if Im correct. Cool spot.After:I love this spot. Ive become a regular here. Last time à was here they brought me a green tea and also a water on the house. I know its not a big thing but its a nice gesture.

    By far the best service I’ve had in any lounge. A lot of space for selection of seating including outdoor. Most importantly the hookahs are always incredible and very affordable. The staff changes the charcoals consistently so you are always good to go. It’s my go to spot and I couldn’t recommend it any more!

  • Review 58 (2017-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly the best hookah spot on Steinway. Affordable, good flavors, and free charcoal refills. The Egyptian red tea is a must with mint and the watermelon juice is AMAZING. You can also bring your own food and just relax by yourself or with friends. No card Cash only place. And last but not least, the customer service is SUPERB. The guys there know us already of how often we go but they are truly great.

  • Review 59 (2018-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    Great customer service, staff took very good care of us. Place was very clean and we thought it was a great place to get work done and relax. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others. Also a plus is all the amazing Middle Eastern food nearby.

  • Review 65 (2020-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    After looking for a good and authentic hookah bar for a long time, I am just happy I found this place. Compared to a lot of places that serve hookah in New York (Manhattan especially), this place actually serves good tobacco and coal that burns long. All that for around $11-19 (instead of 35-40 bucks like in other places). The drinks are also cheap. The atmosphere is always extremely chill and hospitable, music is not too loud, you can bring your own food from outside and staff is very friendly. Best place to bring your friends and have a relaxed chat. I was here around 10 times in the last few months and will definetly return in the future. The go-to place in NYC for hookah enthusiasts.

  • Review 72 (2018-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    It seems to be the most popular lounge despite being surrounded by many other lounges. My theory is that because they dont serve food and only serve Hookah, customers are allowed to bring outside food in.

  • Review 73 (2019-05-19 - Rating: 5)

    My absolute favorite hookah spot in NYC (Astoria). Osama, Mena and Akmed are very professional staff, they always make wonderful hookahs that last for 4+ hours and and they keep the coals fresh. The crowd is super chill too and there are tons of good food options in the area to order in for delivery. Finally, I love how clean they keep the place and they educate their guests on hookah decorum and best results. AAAAA+++++
