Jasmine Hookah Lounge

Go during the day. According to the lone waitress working, it gets crazy after 6pm

I'm surprised that Jasmine's barely has any reviews and that not many people know of this place.
Ya the place doesn't allow alcohol, but it's not much of a partying place like Kush anyways. It's a very relaxed, chill environment. If you're wanting to drink, II charlies is right next door.

The hookah is cheap, yet good. They also don't charge you per person, even if the person with you isn't smoking. I just wouldn't suggest trying to share one hookah with 10 people. That's kind of excessive and not enjoyable anyways.

The food is OUTSTANDING.
Ya I'm a little biased, I worked there well over a year ago (not anymore), but I've also eaten everything on the menu. The typical clientele are middle eastern students who are studying abroad, if that emphasizes how good/authentic the food is.
I still return regularly, because I'm addicted to their french fries and shish tawook wrap. My favourites are the shish tawook wrap, their french fries (reminds me of german pommes frites), their lamb, rice, yogurt salad, falafel, lentil soup, even their burger.

I will admit that I wasn't a fan of the beef shwarma meat or their falafel wrap. I don't like the combination of ingredients in the wrap and the beef shwarma meat is too dry for my liking. There was a large number of clientele that loved these items, but I think you have to have a specific taste for it.

The place itself never gets too smokey unless there's a large amount of grilled meat orders, so don't be intimidated by it also being a hookah lounge. The have vents to take care of all the hookah smoke, so it's never as smokey as other hookah lounges like Natalie's or Kush. The owner also keeps everything extremely clean, which is so nice to know.

Also for those that haven't gone near closing time, the closing hours aren't set in stone. They won't stay open for later than listed (although they might accept non-cooked togo orders like hummus), but they occasionally do close earlier than what they have posted, especially on weekdays. So don't be surprised.

Great food and environment, wish it was BYOB like other hookah lounges though.
