"Mixed reviews because the staff was really nice, we got virgin mango mojitos and they were amazing but the hookah just couldn’t get any worse after getting it fixed many times. Talking about food, it was a long wait time but was hoping for the food to be good but I would give 6 out of 10. Our sheesh kabab was undercooked ( they didn’t charge us for it after I asked them). Did I mention the bees flying everywhere! We changed our seats three times, they definitely need to clean more."

"Arrived around 10:30 on a Wednesday night and stayed until 2 just talking because the vibe is so easy. Hookah was very good quality but the service is upsettingly slow. Everything I had to go find the server to ask for - water, if we can order, if we can have the check and then to give the check. Wasn’t a busy night either. We ordered food, tea and hookah. High quality hummus chicken and roasted vegetables. I wouldn’t order the mint tea again though. I wouldn’t order anything again actually except for hookah just because the service is so slow. I’ve heard it can get very mixy at night on a Thursday/weekend and given the location can have a lot of NYU students"

"Great ambience and atmosphere. Very nice decor inside. Good hookah spot! Great staff that were courteous and attentive. Great music playing in the background. Food was good. Drinks were alright... not my favorite. I didn't enjoy the sangria. Only one co ed bathroom... there should be at least 2... Overall Highly recommend for a great time to lounge with food, drinks & hookah."
