"So me and some friends that were in town grabbed takeout and what a waste of money, time and our hunger! Food was awful!!!! like the worst of the worst!! It should’ve been April fools day at least maybe we would’ve understood why it was so bad like “ok jokes on us.” We couldn’t even eat this garbage. Couldn’t believe they would serve such trash lackluster food and it was expensive like 4 star restaurant expensive but was very cheap food cooked with zero love! They just want money! We only had 3 entrees and 2 apps and it was nearly $200. Whatever we could actually taste without spitting it out was either dried out or chewy meats. The fish had zero flavor just yuck, chicken winggets tasted refried and so hard you couldn’t bite into some parts, fries tasted like potato chips, rice was cheap box success boil in bag rice with no seasoning, NOT EVEN BASMATI RICE, barely any food for the price, just like a half cup of rice, one skewer of a few onions pieces and like 4 grape tomatoes on a stick and a tiny piece of hard chewy meat and the order was messed up. We was expecting flavorful Lebanese food but only got garbage fit for some outside critters. It was really this bad you guys that’s why I’m here writing about it, We were seriously so upset and in total disbelief at how bad it was and for the money just a disgusting disrespectful terrible surprise UGH NEVER AGAIN!"

"The mussels were good. The Korean beef tacos were good but if they served it with some sauce on the side it would have been better. The lemon pepper wings were very hot & fresh, the fries were not. The hookah was good too, smooth & mild."

"Hands down the best hookah lounges in Philly! Food is exceptional, and the atmosphere is amazing. Will definitely come back to visit again!"

"One of the best staff taking care of their customers in the best possible way. Hookahs are strongly flavored but smooth. Loved the interiors so apt for a hookah place. Good collection of wine and beers. Even the cocktails were really at par with any good bar! Loved the overall first visit experience."

"One of the very first spots in Philadelphia to have hookah and their still leading the way with their plentiful of exotic flavors! I had my favorite blue mist and mint on a grapefruit head I love the fruit top head rather then just the flavored shisha on coal mainly because it adds so much more flavor and definitely gives you a buzz! I had for the first time however their Greek salad with grilled chicken kabob which was BOMB!! You must try it filled with so much flavor fresh onions, olive, green peppers, tomatoes, and feta cheese.. my date has a grilled Cesar salad which was also good I got to try his out! We opted out on getting a drink because the hookah definitely did it’s job! The atmosphere was very nice and intimate and their music choice catered to old and new school. Customer service was great thank Destiny for your hospitality! I’ll definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great time. It wasn’t as crowded when we got there but the crowd definitely does pick up! I’ll continue to keep going there. That’s my spot for sure!"
