Habibi Sheesha Lounge

Nice place. Belly dancing on Saturday Nights. Good location. I have heard both Middle-Eastern and current Billboard toppers at the place. The sheesha they have are pretty good too. Quite popular with the college crowd as it is on the edge of UB South Campus. You might want to call for reservations.

Stopped in an a whim to give sheesha a try. The hostess sat us on some comfy couches and gave us the rundown of the menu. Since we were newbies, we tried the citrus mix since it was supposed to be a bit less harsh than some of the others.

We got served complimentary bottles of water (great touch) and waited only a few minutes for them to bring over the tall pipe.

I was surprised at how mellow the smoke was, especially because I am not a smoker at all. Also, the place is well ventilated so if smoke bothers you, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The music was a bit loud and there's a definite techno vibe to the place, but it was a Saturday night so really what was I to expect being that it's a college-type crowd. The place filled up pretty quickly after about 9:00 which was cool to see.

Extra plus: you can bring in your own food so it would definitely be super fun to bring a group and hang out. Cost is very reasonable: $15 per pipe and they allow 2 people to a pipe. The tobacco lasts a very long time so it's very easy to make that $15 go pretty far. It was plenty for the 2 of us for close to 2 hours.

Had a great time! Will definitely come back again sometime.
