Best hookah bar in Chicago, especially when you consider the size of the place compared to everywhere else. Â They always make it a point to make your wait time as quick as possible. Â Not to mention the hookahs hit great and they're always clean so you can actually taste the flavors. Â Great atmosphere and the service is always pretty fast. Â I suggest asking the employees about some of their special mixed flavors, they'll never disappoint you.
Review Source:Came here to meet a couple friends and was semi-hoping to meet Brandy. #MoeshaJoke
Was pleasantly surprised that outside food was allowed, so I asked my friends who were already there what they wanted and walked in with a giant bag of Wendy's $1 menu items, while everyone stared at me like I was a delivery boy. #Classy
Service was super attentive and friendly. Got a bottle of Lazizza Apple, which tasted like a less-sweet apple soda. Â Hookah was flavorful and surprisingly smooth.
Lots of TVs, but I don't remember them being super loud, so you can talk to others without yelling.
Great late-night option to chill with friends.
Our favorite hookah bar was sold recently, so we are sampling different lounges nearby just to see what else is available since we were going to the same one for the longest time. This was the choice for the evening.
VERY good service, friendly and attentive ladies that checked on us at least five times in the hour and a half we were there. The prices are based on purchase alone (aka no minimums, me likey) and the tobacco was strong. One of the servers even helped us make a decision by being honest about the fruit bowls (apparently they do not add to the flavor, only keeps the tobacco cold) so we opted for a fruit juice base with mango mint mix. It was delightful! Even though I ordered the guava smoothie (which I take to mean creamy for whatever reason), it was more like an icy juice - - even though it didn't meet what I was expecting, it was still tasty.
The best part of this place: I CAN HEAR MYSELF TALK. I had trouble doing that at most trendy hookah lounges in the Schaumburg area - I felt like I truly was at a lounge and not a night club. I like the music but a small downside to me was the three TVs were all playing the same sports channel - I'm not a big fan of sports, especially when they are talking but I have no idea what's being said since they have no sound. Otherwise, it was a great time had.
It's a bit of a hike for us since we're in Streamwood, but definitely a place I will visit again.
I first discovered this place when my friend N brought me here in the fall of 2010, and I have been "hooked on hookah" ever since. Â Well I have actually done hookah for many years but this place has really made it very enjoyable again. Â Whenever I walk into Mo Sheesha, I immediately get the feeling of being welcome. Â The ambiance is great in here: leather couches, drapes, hanging plants, Middle Eastern music, and of course, the sweet fragrance of various hookahs as it stings the nostrils. Â Mo has added a wonderful 21st century kick to this hookah bar with TV's hanging in every direction to keep the wandering mind occupied.
You can pretty much sit anywhere in this place, as long as its empty. Â Generally speaking, you can find a seat Sunday through Thursday at any time and Friday and Saturday it gets busy after 9pm in which case you may have to wait. Â They have good waitresses and Mo helps out when he can. Â The food is limited but pretty good (we usually get some pita and hummus). Â The teas, smoothies, and drinks are great. Â They also have various games you can play. Â Our favorite is Monopoly Deal, love that game! Â They have hookahs for sale too; another friend of mine bought one from here at a reasonable price.
As far as the hookah flavors, they are great. Â Our favorites are Habba Gabba, Triple B, and Misty Orange right now. Â Wish they would come with a good mint mix as well because I have always been a fan of mint hookah. Â I always see Mo and his staff cleaning the hookahs and they also taste fresh, so I know I'm getting a good, clean smoke. Â Also, try to get a single hose hookah if possible, they usually smoke a bit better and you don't have to worry about your ignorant friend named N to plug the other hose.
My once a week visit will continue to Mo Sheesha.
Love this place. Â Sharif (hope I'm spelling that right) is such a nice guy. Â Down to earth, love what he does and hires really nice staff. Â My wife and I bought a hookah from him and he explained all of the workings of it, how to take care of it, etc. Â We had a problem with the hose that ours came with and told me to bring it in so he could look at it. Â Works wonderfully at home but we still continue to visit.
Sharif has a great layout for the place, very lounge-like, though some of the tables close to the door are not so great. Â It gets so busy in there (crowd is a complete mix btw, lots of younger people 18-20 but also older too) on the weekend nights. Â Personally, I like going to hang out during the week when it's not so busy and do some work on my dissertation or journaling while chilling out with a hookah and some really good Egyptian tea.
Really, I can't say enough about this place. Â Went to our local hookah place and it just doesn't compare. Â Sharif does spoil you and his personal style is great. Â I doubt you'll dislike this place...unless of course a smokey atmosphere isn't your thing...and in that case you probably won't want to bother. :)
