We got to the restaurant at 11:30 pm for a shisha, and the atmosphere was amazing! The shisha was so good, the drinks were creative and fresh and the food was super fresh and full of flavour.

So we made a reservation and came on time. The place was empty and we were the first customers at 5 pm. The waiter Mohammed mentioned it is a happy hour. We ordered items from the happy hour menu and we even asked about other items if they were on the happy hour. When we got the bill. The waiter charged us full price only to show us that the happy hour was not available on Saturday. He completely misled us and he claimed he told us and we could not hear him from the chaos. We asked questions about the happy hour and kept ordering from there. We even asked if the appetizer platter was on the happy hour. I don’t know what kind of management runs that place but keeping happy hour menu on the table on Friday to Sunday when it is not available is deceitful even after discussing it with the first waiter. I paid the full price knowing that I was scammed. The food was good and I liked the decoration and the ambience but I hated to be scammed. May be make the font bigger on the menu next time and explain to the customers. There are a lot of choices in San Diego and competition is big.

A truly wonderful experience beyond expectations! We discovered Tabac+ by chance, and I’m so glad we did. The owner is incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what he does—and that positive energy is reflected in the whole team. Service was fast, professional, and full of genuine warmth. The atmosphere is calm and thoughtfully designed. You can tell there's attention to detail in everything. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the little complimentary touches throughout the evening made it even more special. It’s rare to find this level of quality and hospitality. Fully deserving of 5 stars!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent service. The vibe is always welcoming and relaxed. Definitely one of the nicest spots to hang out in San Diego. Highly recommend!

My friend and I were visiting San Diego and wanted to try a hookah spot close to our hotel. We were really happy to stumble upon Tabac. We sat outside til about 12 then went inside. It was pretty busy around 10pm but in a good way where the atmosphere was lovely but still chill. The hookah was smooth with the lotus head and lasted us for about 3 hrs. The Turkish coffee was average at best. All the servers were nice and prompt! We also had a chance to play backgammon which was available upon request!!! Prices are great.
