Sarah MaguireApril 9, 2015Wednesday night is ladies night, 50% off all cocktails, beers and wines. The bartenders know what they are doing, we loved the jalapeño marg, red wine sangria and the camel drink.
pOps 'October 5, 2014Watermelon/mint hookah and Moroccan tea. Great night atmosphere, lit by candles with Arabic rhythms. Very good service.
Closed AccountAugust 28, 2013The best restaurant I've ever been to .. the staff are soooo nice .. I was given a complimentary dessert :)
ReemNovember 12, 2016This is maybe the classiest hookah place in NYC ! The staff are more than just warm .. Their playlist is mostly Moroccan, it would be great if they add Khaleeji music ..
Amy YounghansFebruary 28, 2013Love this place! Bartender makes super strong drinks and food is amazing! Try the chicken cigars free on check-in! And go for the Moroccan Punch- delish! :)
Wejdan ✨October 26, 2015The vibes here are awesome! Very welcoming staff. Hookah is not the best! But I'll still go there any way.
Lianna シApril 13, 2015Great service, although the music is incredibly loud. Very much a romantic ambiance if you can look past your vibrating ear drums.
Roni WeissJuly 19, 2013Great food, wonderful service.The babaganoush had a good amount and assortment of breads.
Aalia R.January 14, 2014Hookah is only okay. But the food is REALLY good. Free appetizer (cigar spring roll things) on first check in!
Sam SDecember 21, 2015The music is quite loud but really sets the stage for an synthetic hookah bar. The food isn't great but the drinks are usually strong.
- David TrudoMarch 18, 2015Drinks are good, though slightly pricey. Also, apparently belly-dancing is a thing here. Didn't know that until deafening music was playing at the bar.
Lindsey KimMarch 15, 2013Do their newbie special! The cigars (which are actually spring rolls) are delicious!
Maher SleimanSeptember 27, 2015A rip off place. Charged us $50 for hookah when the price is not even listed on the menu. The manager trying to be a smart ass. Service and food not that good and hookah took more than 30 mins
Dulcita CocoSeptember 27, 2015I know it's midtown, but the hookah was really too expensive and the service was inconsistent for what they think they're worth. You're better off heading to LES or a place uptown.- 💢⭕️Rabi⭕️💢January 1, 2016Do not go there. Rude staff and very pricey. One lady named Aisha is So So rude. She tipped herself and said to me quote " people like you don't put enough tip" !!! So she added to the check what she
