Came here with my girlfriend to experience a new place and we saw that it was a hookah bar which we did not mind. Ordered a cappuccino for myself, my gf ordered a cinnamon tea plus a sahlab drink which was a white creamy milk type which was really good!! The waiter was very friendly and understood we did not want to do hookah at that time but will next time when we bring more friends with us. All in all, very awesome night mood to hang out with friends and have a hookah smoke and drinks.
Review Source:Staff was hospitable, and this was a good place to relax. I was confused when we first walked in because I saw a lot of older men playing cards, but the younger crowd hangs out in the back room.
I wish this place had a nicer outdoor seating area. I really don't like smoking in a confined room, especially if others start smoking cigarettes. We didn't try any of the house specialties, but will make sure to do so next time. Big fan of the prices, too!
The Ali Mama Cafe was a regular place for me, every other day or so. Sometimes I'd stay half an hour, other times upwards of five. It has a fantastic environment, great flavor selection, and helpful customer service. If I hadn't moved away, I'd still be in there every other day.
They treat you like family there. If you're having a great day, they will celebrate it with you. A terrible one? They will show sympathy and bring you a nice, fresh bowl of shisha to cheer you up, and even offer you advice!
Their drinks are wonderful, and I've tried most of them. I highly recommend the mocha frappuccino or the jasmine tea. They also have Turkish Coffee, for those who love very sweet drinks.
There is also a taco set-up outside on most nights. Very inexpensive and very tasty, although not technically a part of the Ali Mama Cafe. If I recall correctly, the tacos were 1-2 dollars each.
Whether you are a regular, an old man playing cards, a new freshly 18 individual, or just your average joe checking out a hookah bar, they treat you with respect.
Shoutout to how awesome they treated my partner and I on our anniversary and valentine's day!
If I had more than five stars to give, I'd give it.
Fantastic, A+ hookah bar.
