First time in Queens, this place is definitely worth a visit. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure all needs were met. They even replaced a hookah flavor which initially I didn’t like. The atmosphere was lively and I especially appreciated how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was. Our host Bella was amazing. The best part is the value—Highly recommended!
Reviews
My wife & I came here for the first time, and we were so happy with the service and environment! Bella is so kind, and super helpful. We wanted to watch the game and she quickly accommodated us, brought us Uno cards and made sure we were having a great time. Hookah was smooth, coals were changed often, and cocktails were on point. Also the mother’s day special was a great deal, champagne, hookah and 2 signature cocktails for $100.
Overall Impression: A high-energy hookah lounge with a nightlife feel, made more enjoyable by standout staff—especially Bella. Atmosphere: The venue has a club-style ambiance with dim lighting and upbeat music. It gets lively and crowded at night, making it ideal for groups but less suited for quiet conversations. Hookah Quality: Hookah performance is reliable with a wide flavor selection. Sessions last well, though consistency may vary during peak hours. Service (Bella Highlight): Service can fluctuate when busy, but Bella stands out for being attentive, friendly, and proactive. She keeps track of coal changes, checks in regularly, and helps maintain a smooth experience even when the lounge is packed. Food & Drinks: Drinks complement the lounge setting. Food options are limited and geared toward light bites rather than full meals. Crowd: Young, social crowd with a party vibe. Best for group outings or celebrations.
My first time here. Bella was my server and she was great!! Friendly, attentive and made the experience great! Highly recommend this place and make sure you ask for her.
Literally such an amazing place to be. Great music and great cocktails. We went in on Sunday at 5:30 and found out they had buy one get one free hookah and drinks from 5 to 8 every day. Bella was such an amazing server and we will be back for her and the energy!
