Tabu lounge,

2205 Avenue X, Brooklyn, NY 11235

"Was coming and bringing friends to this place for over 3 years but today was my last visit. Food is great, hostess is very nice lady but hookah man - very rude guy with bad attitude. Manager definitely has to teach him how to nicely communicate with people, make GOOD hookah that people can smoke and make them want to come back."

"Randomly checked this spot out the other night and can’t believe I’ve lived so close for 4 yrs and have been missing out on this gem! The kitchen was open until 2am on a weekday which literally made my night. We arrived within 10mins of last call for food, so the kitchen staff was probably ready to go, but the food was still bomb—the octopus in particular was phenomenal, and we also had lamb chops and crème brûlée. I can be a little hard to wow since I eat out so much, so it was a pleasant surprise. The hookah was amazing too, and my cocktails were great. The only thing my friend wished was better was the tea she ordered. Our server Zhanna and the bartender there that night were really nice as well! I can see this place being really lit but still chill on a Friday/Sat so I’m looking forward to trying it out on one of those nights. Def will be adding this lounge to my faves!"

"Great atmosphere place with delicious food and drinks. Will visit again and again."

"I came on a Sunday. The service was good. The bartender was friendly. Drinks were good. However, the place was super empty perhaps because of the location; I'm used to midtown Manhattan which is busy every day and night. I didn't order any food so I can't comment on that. I had a couple drinks and left. Prices are decent. Location is isolated in the middle of nowhere. Evidently it's intended to serve the neighborhood only. I came to meet an old friend who recommended the place. Pretty much dead area but it's fine to come if you live around."
