I was shocked when the waitress demanded a big tip for an average service. Wish I had noted her name. How can someone have the audacity to demand a tip? It's for me to decide, not the waitress. Not coming back here again.
Bustling shisha spot. The service was good & it probably would have been better if the place wasn't so crowded. I don't smoke shisha but my friends do & they said it was typical shisha. This place is nice & it was enjoyable.
Had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, & the service was absolutely exceptional. Rania was our waitress & she was fantastic - warm, attentive, & professional. She truly made our meal even more enjoyable. Thank you, Rania!

Drinks & food were good. We came late on Saturday night & were seated in the back completely close to windows: which is extremely cold!!!! Was freezing the whole time we were there. Service was really slow but everything was good. Music could have been better, no live DJ. & I felt like there was too much lighting. Overall not too bad but won't be going back.
Great spot for chill nights. Food is really good too. Love the waitresses, always making sure our table is good, great service. Also the shisha's are really good compared to other places.
Such a cool spot to go to at any time during the day. The music is great & I love the waitresses there, they're so kind. I find the vibe there is very chill you can go to study, go for a fun time with friends or even just go to relax with some good music. All that with hookah that lasts long!
