Place was ok. Unfortunately they used the quick light coals for the hookahs .those have a nasty after taste . Decently priced but music was too loud to have conversations and sound system kept Cutting out. This place could have scored at least 1 more star if they used the good coals.

Exotic Shisha and bar lounge. Went there on a Thursday night expecting it to be dead but it was the complete opposite. Shisha was great, not too expensive. Drinks and service were good. Music is a mix of Ethiopian Spanish and English songs. The music is very loud so if you're looking for a quiet shisha bar that's not the place. The atmosphere was great, everyone was dancing in their seat and having a good time.
We came to kiss for after dinner drinks and hookah. The drinks were STRONG which I normally wouldn’t mind, but it was basically like drinking the house liquor straight with no mixers even after ordering middle-shelf booze. The hookah was left completely unattended and was burnt quickly, tasted horrible. We had to request the bill from 3 different servers, including ours, who served multiple people before getting us the check about 15 min after requested. Absolutely no social distancing so I will be getting a covid test before going out again. A disappointing end to an otherwise great evening. Would give 0 stars if I could.
The place is really cool and "vibey". Sat by the bar and the service there was great. The DJ played really good music (A mix of afropop, habesha and hip hop), there was a fun crowd and the hookah good...all at a fair price. My only issue was the state of the bathrooms (dirty).
They only like their own kind went with friends we are African American but they barley noticed us. We are not Ethiopian so we didn't matter ar all this was July 2nd 2023. It's like we were imaginary. Racism on high to bad because the spot is nice but blnot worth going if your not Ethiopian
