Ali Baba Hookah Bar

Still love this place, but pay attention to what they're charging you for when you pay. The amount seems to be completely arbitrary and might include more hookahs than you actually had. And they might argue with you about it until you point out that all the hookahs are still sitting in the Kings Room and there are only 5, not 6.
And when you ask them for water, they bring you a tiny bottled water that costs $3, not just ice water.

Also, it would be nice if the benches for lounging on in the King's Room were padded, or had pillows. It hurts to sit in there! Otherwise, the atmosphere in that room is awesome.

One other thing- it's very rude to ask people if they plan on tipping the waitress.

This place is fantastic.

A large group of us went here for the first time last night and they put together some tables for us right away. Everyone was very nice to us and seemed genuinely happy to have us there.

The decor in the place is awesome. It's still a bit sparse, I guess because it's still new, but for some reason that doesn't make the atmosphere any less awesome. It's a very cozy feeling place and the music is perfect.

They have live entertainment on most weekends... last night there was a very talented bellydancer who did a sword dance, scarf dance, etc and she was great... it was way better than I expected.

The food is also great... we ordered fried zucchini and it was interesting but delicious. It's not your typical american deep fried breaded zucchini. This was a cold dish and it was like sauteed zucchini slices with tahini drizzled on top. Yum! The hoummos is also amazing, but they don't bring you very much pita bread to dip in it. Not a big deal though, they were happy to bring us more when we asked.

We all shared 2 hookahs and tried starbuzz shisha in both of them - fuzzy lemonade and spearmint. Both were awesome, but my favorite was the fuzzy lemonade. If you aren't a regular smoker, be warned; Starbuzz shisha will give you quite a strong nicotine buzz!

The hookahs are beautiful and they give you little plastic tips to put on them so you aren't sharing germs with the last group to get that hookah. They also have hookahs for sale.

My only complaint about this place was the waitress... and it was only her second day so I have a really hard time even being bothered by it. She told us she thought the tea was free and at the end when we paid, it was obvious that it wasn't. She also was a little hard to grab when we wanted to order food or get more drinks... she didn't really ever just come over and ask us if we needed anything. I assume that this will get better with time though.

All in all, this place is a great addition to Winchester. It's nice to have a place where the crowd is mostly young (mostly... older folks wouldn't feel out of place at all because there were a variety of ages there) to just chill and hang out. We will definitely be here often!

Oh, and they're open 11am-Midnight Tue-Sun! Finally, something non-alcohol-related to do after 9pm in Winchester!
