Torey TurnerMarch 22, 2015The service is wonderful here. I enjoyed the hookah and strawberry margaritas. I'm looking forward to the food. Great experience.
Ron SandersAugust 5, 2012Service from Lesley was fantastic, food was simply incredible, a special thank you to Mustafa for accommodating for food allergies and especially for the warm welcome to my new favorite restaurant.
Nikki CraigJuly 31, 2013I've been a fan of the original CI and glad to have one local. Just wish it was smoke/hooka free. Smoking is the #1 preventable death & 2nd hand smoke kills the nonsmoker's. I know I've buried one.
Hannah FittsAugust 13, 2013Hookah is 15 dollars, 5 dollars for refills, & 4 dollars for new coals which i think is ridiculous. You also have to spend 10 bucks on food or drinks or they won wont let you have hookah. Fun tho.
- This place is awesome! Had an amazing time with my girls. Belly dancing great food and great drinks and great service

Joe ZywicsMay 19, 2013Ever with a party of 20+ the waitress Michelle is by far one of the best I've had in a while!
Gina GildinerSeptember 10, 2011I really enjoyed our experience here. Food was amazing and staff was great. Belly dancing was very entertaining, too!
DineWithDaniMarch 16, 2014Saturday night: mixed crowd, belly dancer, ratchet hip-hop (horrible mixing by DJ), bachata, old r&b, wild.- Try the chicken pizza. It's a little expensive but it is fresh and you get a lot of it!
Nashawn AMOctober 21, 2012Shay is great! Such an accommodating waiter. If you get him, you're in luck.
Shanna RamseyAugust 31, 2011Really good Mediterranean chicken and Turkish coffee. Lesley was an awesome waitress!- ben amosOctober 20, 2011place has the cheapest quality hookahs around, much rather go to Oasis down the street and enjoy their $5 dollar hookah.
- Nashawn AMOctober 21, 2012Real hookah smokers beware. While the atmosphere is nice and the drinks are cool, the hookah is truly mediocre at best. They don't even have correct cap sizes for hookah pipes. Not impressed.
tony walaceOctober 18, 2011went for my friends birthday, terible service, they said they were packed so they only had 2 flavors, and my tab by myself smoking came out to like $25 , Now i go down the street to Oasis much better
mahmoud abidOctober 18, 20112 Weeks been in the states.but worst hookah I have had in the world I have been to 13 countries.oasis has much better.oasis use khalil mamoon like home.Service was bad,using china hookahs at istanbul
Jordan ChenJuly 23, 2011Staff sucks, wait was incredibly long, prices super high and management is super rude.
