Very unexpectedly awesome place. Good hookah, awesome vibe and atmosphere. Also be sure to check their Moroccan spiced tea. It's awesome. And there's a good variety of eastern sweets, it's good.

Great chill hookah lounge to spend time at. Good place to come with friends or bring a book/laptop and get some work done. Owner is very friendly and accommodating.
