This place has gone down significantly. The owner is a jerk unless you kiss his ass or throw money at him. During my last experience one of the managers squeezed three groups into one corner to save the booths for larger groups. Three different groups sharing a couch and a corner? Yeah, I get the reasoning but this was a horrible experience. Also, I used to be addicted to the sweet iced tea but it's just watered down now. One of their employees even apologized for his manager for being an "asshole". What does that tell you? I will not be coming back.
Review Source:There isn't much to do on a Tuesday night in downtown SJ, but my friends and I decided to check out Shisha since we were nearby.
I like this place! Right when you walk in you'll be greeted by the owner and you'll see all hooka flavors they have on display. They have your typical flavors here and I think they have a lot of their own signature flavors as well!
We had to choose two different flavors since there were four us, but the cost wasn't that bad! The flavors were good and lasted long compared to other places we've been to. The lounge is set up pretty nice. Lasers and lights to go with house music, hip hop, and top 40 hits they play in there!
Overall, the vibe here is good!
The only thing I disliked was that their seats aren't that comfortable. :/
The hookah not so great but the place is nice.
Word of advice for those who get headaches from disco lights, loud music, and unusual smell - don't go here or to any other hookah bar!
They have good music on, and are open till 1:30 or two so is good for a late night visit. The people who work are very friendly and helpful!! You also have the option to smell the flavors before ordering, and they do a mixing of flavors too - just ask! They have two types of seating, couches and booths. We always got the booths, which were more private. But the couches looked comfy too and I saw a lot of people coming in pairs and relax and talk.
Been there twice and loved this place, although the hookah are not the best! I will absolutely go there again because it's the closest to a perfect hookah bar.
This is the first hookah lounge I've ever been to and I had a wonderful time. My friend took me and we got there not too long after they opened so we were able to pretty much able to chose where ever we wanted to sit. We mixed 2 of their flavors together, I forgot which ones though, and it tasted great. It lasted me and my friend 2 and a half hours to get through it, but it was nice.
The people who were working were very relaxed, they were joking with me and my friend when they would change the coals which was actually pretty relaxing. Since my friend and I were the first customers in the workers asked us what type of music we would like to listen to and they put on a good selection.
I'm gonna go back here and bring some more of my friends with me cause I had a really good time.
I absolutely love this place.
The atmosphere is amazing, the owner is funny as has fun with the customers. When I came in for the first time, I couldn't stop giggling over the one called 'Pop My Cherry and he laughed about it too, which made me feel comfortable in a new environment.
Even when just standing outside, you can smell all the flavours and it draws you in. My friend and I go frequently now - our staple hookah flavour is the Ultimate Orgasm, and then we choose a new one. For the two hookahs and two waters, its $50. Never having been to a different place, I'm not sure if that's more expensive that anywhere else or not, however, I feel its worth it. My friend and I go and we spend three hours just relaxing, talking and enjoying ourselves.
Not everyone takes as long between hits to make it last three hours, like we do, which may make it seem not worth your time, but in all honesty, its my favourite place to go and chill and not worry about stuff for a while. That's what I feel this place is about, and its totally worth it in my book.
Alright, alright, alright...5 stars BECAUSE they have what one expects from a hookah lounge.
Heads up: if you're the kind of person who smokes hookah and drinks alcohol AND eats steak at the same time, then go someplace else. Shisha will disappoint you.
Now if you're looking to chill, smoke some hookah and hang out with your homies, staring into the pyramids and flashing lights on the ceiling - this place is for you.
No alcohol here BUT their iced tea is out of this world. Sip while you smoke their hookah and the iced tea makes the experience more chillaxing.
This place is right by the corner of Market and Julian, to the right, if you're coming from Hwy 87. Parking isn't bad at week nights, however, there's a lot of parking spaces all around. I will not come here on a weekend as I know this place be buzzin' .
Enter the shop, the flavors are on display. They have these different shapes and sizes of hookah pipes for sale too. Their most popular hookah flavors are on top of the glass shelf but they have about 20+ other flavors to choose from.
There's cubicles and sofas to sit on, with enough throw pillows to get comfy in. I like the flashing lights and the fact that they play really good music.
The staff is very friendly and checks on you from time to time and the attendant who checks on the hot charcoal is very efficient.
Simple as that.
Thank goodness, this one night Thea gave us wrong information over the phone telling us they're open until 1030 and when we got there at 9:30, they told us they were closed. Before you know it, we were pointing at flavors to try at Shisha.
What about those "gum" -labeled tin cans placed along the top of the cubicle walls? That's just cool too. Keeps you from sticking your used gum under their tables.
Will be back here for sure...with more peeps and will try more flavors.
I've been here twice. I had a good experience both times. The guys that run the front are really nice, super talkative and just want you to have a great time.
Their tobacco has some wild names hahah stuff that really makes you laugh. It's great that they let you sniff around at the different flavors just to make sure you're going to like what you get but overall, the prices are definitely overpriced.
He has a decks of cards you can play with while you're getting your smoke on, and more times than not all the cards aren't in the deck so I try to remember to bring my own but I think it's fun to play cards and smoke.
The seats aren't really the most comfortable, but there's music going, and all kinds of wild lights which really adds something unique to the atmosphere.
This definitely isn't the best hookah lounge I've ever been to but it's still a good time and the service is above average, so I'll continue to come back. (;
I've been to a few hookah bars over this past year. I like how at Shisha you have the option to smell before you smoke. Disappointed that they didn't have chocolate strawberry because I heard it was good. My friend and I smelled a couple flavors,but they were to strong,so we decided on Strawberry Lemonade. Yum!
The owner I believe was very nice. He joked around with my friend and I. When we came in he said "sorry we don't allow pretty girls in here." Aha,that was just to funny. He wasn't creepierish either,most old guys who say that seem creepy. The employees here were very nice,they kept asking us how we were doing and if everything was okay. I had a fun hour in Shisha. I will be back,really enjoyed going here.
I heard this place gets crowded around 9 and later. We came a couple minutes after it opened so we were the only ones there,not including another group of people.
Went to Shisha the other night for the first time on a whim while in San Jose. Best stop of the night!
All the employees were so nice & friendly. The autmosphere was awesome, black lights, neon laser lights & stars on the ceiling, music...it was a great atmosphere. Lots of sitting areas sectioned off so you don't feel like you are all up in someone elses hookah area.
So many options of shisha that you can smoke, that it was almost too hard to decide.
Best hookah bar by far.
This is the most unique hookah place ive ever been at!!!! SERIOUSLY!
Why??
#1... Â Alot of Crazy hookah flavors!
we got "turn me on, sex on the beach, and viagra"
LOL @ the owner asking me what flavor do i want.
"so,do you wanna get viagra?" im like,haha no, i dont need it LOL
#2... Hookah room was Like a club!
- Dark room, Dance music, disco lights, black lights which made my white shirt glow lol
#3... Pretty chill seats and very nice servers!
- we hung out here wit the crew,and their Popular iced tea was perfect with the hookah!
Very cool place
Definitely gonna come back!
After having dinner at Morocco's, we headed next door to Shisha for a hookah or two. Â I kinda hesitate on two, since it was a bit expensive to have two of them setup. Â I should've stuck around with one and just shared it out.
There was room in the front, so it was pretty convenient to sit back and have the blaring techno/rap in the backgound while I got my smoke on. Â
The only drawback was the price, but I would probably pay that much again if given the chance to come back.
Wow, from my last review, a few years back, this place has really won me over. I've been here 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I might say that it is still a little bit pricey, for just me and my girlfriend, we got 1 flavor of hookah which lasted roughly 2.5 hours each time for $25. We also got the house brewed tea, which at one point was guava, then wildberry, then something else, lol I forgot. So pretty much, each time it's $30 since the teas are $2.25/ cup.
The flavors they have all have unique names and a list of what it actually is next to it. I got to enjoy guava mint, dingleberry and fetish party. All were good, so I'm assuming the other flavors won't disappoint. If you're curious just ask to smell a few before making a selection.
The venue is small in which I prefer because then it's a little bit more intimate. The have a few booths for a larger parties and a sofa lounge area. Every time I've come they always let us sit anywhere, great service.
Alex, the owner is a kind sweet man, very soft spoken and always ensuring that we had a good time once we leave. I've been served by Brent and Mike as well, both are cool cats who have great service. Mike especially because not once did we have to ask to replace the coals. The smokes always been good here when he helps us. Once we had an issue with the hose and he addressed it promptly.
I will be back to try more flavors, thanks Shisha for changing my mind, and providing a nice chill atmosphere to kick back and enjoy in.
This was actually the first hookah lounge I had ever been to. It's definitely one of the more pricier hookah lounges around here. I like that their flavors are custom made and have interesting funny names for each one. I like that the owner allows you to take a whiff of them to ensure that that's the flavor that you want to smoke. A really great and friendly staff. The owner is really nice and funny too! You should most definitely try their iced tea. It's delicious! I do wish they had more comfortable seating though.
Oh and I also find it cute that they have little cups around for your gum and mouth condoms! Lol.
This hookah bar is cool. I like the lazer lights all over the place and the glow bracelets you get on your way in. (I like them for some unknown reason)
Hookah is $18 a person and a maximum of 3 people per hookah. Its a cool place. Theres a million flavors to chose from with all sorts of funny names.
This place has changed so much over the years. Â I remember it was just a little place with booths and chill music.
Now, they have crazy light shows inside that are blinking and zooming across the walls. Â I don't know how i feel about the place, but it was nice to hang out. Â The thing i like the most is the private booths.
They also come by every once in a while to give new coals, which is really nice.
I think I'd come back when i have nothing better to do.
This is my favorite hookah lounge in San Jose, by far! I come to Shisha on a regular basis and always get treated like a VIP. Three years ago, I was introduced to this place through a friend, who was on good terms with the owner Alex. It was my first time ever smoking hookah, and I had a great experience--and I have come back ever since!
Everyone who works here is great and the people who think otherwise, well, they had it coming. These guys are great at their job, hilarious, friendly, and will get you anything you want if you ask nicely! Of the few times where there's been something wrong with my hookah, all of the guys have been super helpful about fixing it right away, even if it means making a whole new hookah. They'll do whatever they have to so that you have a good experience. Alex is a doll and makes sure to treat his customers well--there is a reason my friends and I come here multiple times a week!
There are a ton of flavors, and Alex is always happy to let you smell whatever you want..I love everything from lemon mint to white peach, and their custom flavors like Dingleberry, Ultimate Orgasm, Body & Soul, Hot Lips, etc, these are all delicious. And they have great names! Also- whatever you do, make sure you get an iced tea. Their mix is fruity and sweet and goes perfectly with any flavor shisha you get.
I could go on for pages and pages about Shisha, but here's what you need to know:
-great staff (don't be an idiot, and they won't treat you like one. it's simple)
-Alex, the owner, is a sweetheart. talk to him! ask him questions!
-great flavors- huge variety, something for everyone
-you really DO want one hookah per 1-2 people- trust me. it's not a sales gimmick. it's really annoying to share one hookah with a bunch of people. 2 people really is the max!
-if you come here with a big party, be prepared to get a few different flavors. and make sure everyone has their IDs!!! I've seen a few people get denied because they didn't realize they needed to prove they were over 18 to smoke tobacco..come on, people!
-get the tea. trust me. iced tea+hookah=delicious
Come here if you want to relax, lay down, chill with your friends, or if you are under 18-20 and don't know what else to do downtown. I won't go anywhere else for hookah in San Jose...seriously!
My friend and I needed to kill some time so somehow we ended up here. We came around 9pm on a Saturday night and this place was pretty empty. Scratch that---It was completely empty. The owner was joyful of our presence and immediately brought out his new stash. I've smoked hookah before but we only used plain flavors like strawberry and blueberry. I thought that was pretty cool already but this place has some crazy stuff. We sniffed a couple of the new stuff and finalized our decision with the 'Obama'. I don't know how they came about with the name but it smelled pretty darn good.
We were led inside to our booth. I liked the privacy. The ambiance was cool and the music made me feel like I was in Jamaica. It's a chill place just to hang out with your friends. I mean, it's not something I would take the girls for our nights out, but with the guys.
I have never smoked Hookah inside Shisha. This review is about the CIgars and Tobacco he sells.
The owner (donno his name) does NOT have any sales pitch!! Everything he is saying is perfectly as it is.
He once sold me mint tobacco for hookah which was a lil expensive then others - he explained tht that particular tobacco was longer lasting , slow burning tobacco. I took him on his word and tried it at home - and wow! that thing would not go out!! I ended up using tht tobacco again!
Cigars: the cigars he sells are for $7, $15 and $22. I ltried the $15 one which was not that smooth. The $22 cigar was just awesome. Once again - he had mentioned about the quality before hand. And it was perfectly as what he said.
This absolutely is the worst hookah bar I've been to in my life. Coming from SoCal to hear about the illustrious great hookah lounges in San Jose was a pivotal thing for a frequent shisha smoker. The room is super dark, disco ball styling, and not an idea for an escape.
Hookah:
1. Their flavors are ridiculous as well as their prices. They use TOXIC brand shisha, which sucks compared to Starbuzz.
2.Their hookahs are ill-prepared. When I got there, there was too much water in my hookah, making it taste like ass.
3. Its retardedly expensive. 23.00 for one hookah. Down the street, Giza gives you the can for 20 bucks for you to enjoy the rest of the night. Why the hell would I want to spend 23.00 on one hookah.
4. The coals are the worst. If you want black ass lungs, here ya go. They use circular insta-lights, which are the worst coals known to man. Not to mention they put it in the dead center so it burns the bowl even faster.
5. The bowl size is TINY compared to other bars. They're trying to kick you out on purpose.
The Vibe:
1. I got serviced by two dudes on flannels, and the coal-boy was terrible at his job. They looked like they just threw tobacco into the bowl and let it burn.
2. The music was wack as hell. No one wants to listen to John Mayer on a Saturday night. WTF?
3. Why is there a disco ball, with John Mayer playing?
1 star.
After Anjali K. and I wandered away from the Yelp party at Temple Bar, we started looking for a hookah bar that she was certain was nearby. A few high-tech messages to Google-Text and we found ourselves at Shisha. The owner was very nice, though he did direct our attention to some tobacco flavors like "Screaming Orgasm" and "Bend Me Over" (or something to that effect) and was like, "Some interesting names, heh heh heh..."
Anyway, we settled in to the comfy couches and Tony, the kind young guy who appeared to be the only employee, set us up with our shisha and some "homemade' iced tea that tasted kinda like Snapple. The music was great and the vibe was mellow. Just how I like it.
It would have been even greater if they joined forces with the Middle Eastern restaurant next door and served up some hummus along with our shisha, but maybe someday...
Owner is very nice and friendly. Bought a hookah from here a year or so ago - it was pricey but nice. Still, it seems they have the magic moves with setting up the bowl though. Whenever we smoke here it's always way better than our setup at home. They have really good flavors (anything with mint is great).
Decor is cool but the seating is kind of weird since the seatbacks on the walls are completely upright. That said, the setup allows for a lot more privacy here. Lighting and music are awesome. Service is usually pretty good but the place does get busier late on the weekends. Downside: place is expensive, I think they overcharge sometimes, and they always oversell. I keep hearing Smoke This is better and cheaper but haven't ventured out there yet.
I wonder how much money do I save over the year if I stop going to hookah bars and hookah at home?
Don't get me wrong, hookah bars are expensive, but it's chill place to hang out with friends. Â
Shisha has great atmosphere, some nights it plays great musics. Â It opens early and closes late. Â The service can be good or bad on the given day. Â Last time I couldn't get them to refill my coals for nearly twenty minutes! Â What a waste... Â The cashier(maybe the owner?) is really friendly, pleasant to talk to.....
I loved the obama stash, it was flavorful, even though I couldn't tell what was actually in it. Â We got to sit outside last time while enjoying our drinks (from next store). Â It was a different experience than sitting inside, I enjoyed it.
perhaps one of the better hookah bar in DTSJ?
mmm.. I know why guys take Viagra now... It tastes good when you put it in your mouth.. and you get a nice effect  that runs all the way down, if you know what I mean.. =)
No.. not that, I don't even have one of those.
The feeling just runs down and it feels good, okay! Gosh.
I'm in the mood. Â for more.
P.S. Â the owner is so cool and nice, super friendly guy, and the lighting and everything's very nice ambiance.
Viagra's $22.99 and it lasted a good 1.5 hrs, Ohh, so that's why they call it Viagra.. it lasts you a long time ;)
Everytime I'm back in the bay I HAVE to stop by this place. The guy that works there (usually on Sundays?) is super friendly even though we're a failed group of asians who can never do math.
As the reviews say, the ice tea is amazing!
The flavors are super good and I always buy some to-go. Favorites are strawberry lemonade, sex on the beach, and ultimate orgasm. Super sweet and delicious!
I remember coming here a couple of years back when we used to live in San Jose and the owner was very nice - laughing and joking with use the whole time.
We went here to have hookah for the first time this past weekend and the owner was still nice but the whole experience left a lot to be desired.
First off, the hookah sucked (I knew we should have gotten "Obama Stash" over "Viagra") and that really put a damper on things. The flavor was supposed to be sweet but it actually tasted like gum, water, and day old cigarette ashes all in one - NOT cool.
My friend kept saying she felt like we were in a horse stable being in the little booth, which would have proved all the more problematic if there were more of us that night.
Despite the initial bad experience I am willing to go back just to see if the "viagra" was the only terribly flavored hookah.
Also, their mint water didn't taste quite as refreshing as mint water normally does.
My second hookah bar outing ever. Â They have a nice selection of different flavors, including some house blends. Â It is a lot pricier than other places though, us paying $22 for a hookah. Â The front room can be decepting, because you enter a well-lit hookah shop, with tons and tons of hookahs on sale. Â Your average semi-shady looking hookah shop.
Head to the back, and you have a long dark room. Â One side has a bunch of private booths, and the other has a long couch with tables set up. Â Since we came here at 7PM, we were able to get a whole booth for the two of us, which was nice because we could stretch out, relax, do whatever we wanted without worrying about sharing a booth with a bunch of random creepers.
Also, by coming early, we were able to enjoy part of our hookah sans black light. Â If they would only get rid of that....
I think the main reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 3 is because i actually had a really good time here.
Like a best friend who is will listen when you are blubbering like a whale about your most recent break up, Shisha is there for you. They are open the earliest of the hookah spots downtown, stay up late (even if you are the only people in the lounge), refill your coals often, last for hours, and are overall have a pleasant staff to talk to.
The booths are still my favorite way to go with people to a lounge. I don't want to awkwardly play the staring game with the creeper across the room attempting to blow O's; or to get awkward raised eyebrows from the girl doing a french inhale who thinks I'm checking out her sweaty man; or be unfortunately paparazzid in the ...I just want to lay back and talk with some friends on comfy pillows, a sweet bowl, and chill music. The soundtrack was better today--more hookah-ish and less clubby. Solid.
The place had good ambiance. I liked the seating and the walls. The music had a great vibe. However, the hookah itself was pretty pricey. And the guy at the front has a very odd demeanor. I almost feel as if I am talking to him to enter some kind of weird drug deal or something.
Then again, maybe I watch too many movies.
Good place for hookah, but the prices are a bit too high, especially with Smoke This! so close to me as an option.
I haven't been to many Hookah Lounges, so i don't know what to rate them on, aside from the experience i had.
When we first got there (there were 4 of us) we were greeted by a very helpful man behind the counter, he let up behind the counter to smell the various Flavors of tobacco that they had to offer. Their selection from my experience was pretty good.
The guy behind the counter kept trying to sell me a hookah (which i understand, but i told him i already had one, which is why i don't typically go to hookah bars). He did have some Nice hookahs though.
We ended up getting "Exotic Watermelon Mint" (F'ing AMAZING) and something called "Don't Touch Me There" (not sure i liked this one... actually, i'm pretty sure i didn't like it. i couldn't place the flavors of it- i'd go into detail, but i don't quite know all yelps rules on certain words.)
I guess we got a free cup of tea because we got 2 hookahs (which was like $44 bucks) either that or they were just being nice and gave us some tea for the hell of it, i really don't know where it came from, but it was good and sweet.
When we first sat in our little booth thing, Bob Marley was playing. (Legend- everyone and their brother has this CD- not that i'm complaining as it seemed to fit the mood quite well). Â After Bob was some mix Cd that had some Akon, Snoop, and some Arabian music that blended well. At some point they turned on the black lights. which seemed to hit my corneas at just the right angle to put everything into a haze (has something to do with my lazer surgery i'm sure.)
I have to say that after a year of smoking hookah, this was the first time i felt anything, and the watermelon mint was amazing. (the other flavor was dirty ass, so i'll just forget we got that one.)
The music was cool, the atmosphere was relaxing, the music wasn't so loud i had to yell, if i lived anywhere near San Jose, i'd probably go back. The Flavored tobacco was a bit pricey, $25 for a 250g  tin, which is $5-7 more than i can get them down in San Diego, just haven't found the Tonic Brand here yet.
Anyhow, i liked this place. 4 stars.
We had gone here after a night of drinking. I remember things were cool. But now that I look back on things, I remember the old man saying that they only had about an hour or less left till they closed....and he still charged us full price. Otherwise the old man and his 2 "kids" were cool. They laughed with us....or was it at us?
Despite that we had a great time killin' that hooka.....actually both hookas. What can I say, there were a few of us. The interior had a weird red light action going on....kind of added to the ambiance but I found the seating to be not as comfortable as other spots that will remain unnamed. You're probably already in the know anyways. By the end of the hour they didn't necessarily kick us out but they made us aware that it was time to go.
So, if you're too lazy or drunk to hit up other spots that are spitting distance away, crash here.
;D
Shisha hookah lounge has always been my favorite place for hookah in the bay area. Â Alex, the owner, does his best to make all his customers feel at home, while providing an intimate atmosphere, with matching music, and delicious hookah to compliment the surrounding. Â The rest of the crew over at Shisha is quite friendly, and they do a great job of keeping all the customers happy. Â
There is the inside area which is nice for anywhere between 2-8 people, and the outside area which an even larger amount of people. Â The flavors are good, at some nights varying, between meh, alright, and great. Â I guess the people in the back work with what they're given, despite how crazy some of the flavor combinations might be that some people request.
If anyone is looking for a good flavor to try for the first time, may I recommend Blackberry Mint? Â It's an all time favorite, and has yet to disappoint.
Anyway, if you want a chill, intimate atmosphere, and a little hookah on the side, check out Shisha and you shouldn't be disappointed.
This is a public service notification. Please be notified... You gotta watch yourself drinking in downtown San Jose. You get to much booze in your system and you are easy pickings for aliens. Yep I said ALIENS. The place is crawling with them and you don't watch out and, well, things happen.
Here is how it works...
Yeah... having fun... mmmmm... let me have some San Gria, gulp gulp gulp... and a "Sex On a Long Islang -tini" gulp gulp gulp... whoa... sorta dizzy huh.. sure I'll come in and try whatever... Damn its dark in here...
So next thing you know your in like this little cell, The whole place sounds like techno hendrix... You know, wanna be hippy groove with a back beat thumping like a cop banging on your door.
Then they bring in the little creature... Tiny little F-er, sits on the floor... one beety red eye. Next thing you know, you and all your drunk ass friends take turns, well, orally servicing the little bugger. Its not that bad, sorta sweet. After a while i got pretty good at it, I could tell cause he would gurgle at me and his eye would light up...
I don't really know what else to say... Its not as bad as when I got lit up in Tijuana for sure... And we did use a condom, so thats good. And he bought me a glass of sweet ass tea...
My reviews are quite succint and to the point so sorry for not including any interesting fluff for your reading pleasure....
I give it 3 stars because
-many flavors of tobacco
-clean flowing hookahs
-nice, dark chill place and waiters are on it with the charcoal refills
minus 2 stars because:
- this place isn't open until 130am like that arabic owner lied and said it'd be
- no prices on their menu and the 2 kids next to me got charged 50 bucks for one hookah and PAID for their tea where I just paid 25 for tea and a hookah so watch out!
I don't know what the big deal is with smoking hookah (late night downtown activity for those under 21?), and the more that I've done it, it just seems so pointless... so of course I stopped. Is it really "relaxing" or is it just psychological? I never felt relaxed, just annoyed because I don't like to sit around and do nothing.
Anyway I've been to Shisha twice. The ppl who work there are nice and very attentive, so that's a plus. I don't know, but I think it's kind of expensive. I believe the rule is 2 or 3 people per hookah (I can't remember which), so if you have an extra person in your party, they will make you get another hookah.
Warning: the seating is so uncomfortable! The decor is so ugly and their furniture is old and musty... worse than dorm room furniture.
I do have to rave about their iced tea though--it is SO GOOD. You should go just to try that! The second time that I went back there, all I did was have iced tea and sit for hours waiting for my friends to finish smoking their THREE hookahs. GAH!
I always come here with the same people. My friends force us to come here and of course I have to pay cause I can't just sit and kick it and claim I won't smoke hookah. During the first half hour of every session I feel buyers remorse because I am forced to spend money just to spend time with my favorite people. But it goes away very quickly... because by then I'm super relaxed and enjoying my stay.
Personally I recommend the Hawaiian Melon and Juicy Cantelope, they're almost similar, so try one at a time and not both. I'm also a huge advocate for their sweetened ice tea, its my favorite ice tea in the world and all I know is that they call it "Hawaiian Berry" and it comes from Italy or something. If anyone knows what it is officially called and where I can buy it, let a yelper know please.
Alex, the owner, is super nice, and he cares about quality, and the rest of the staff is just as friendly.
Just a note: you can stay as long as you like or until your tobacco runs out, they replace the coals unlimited times.
