The service was quick and efficient, and the food was delicious. We started with the deviled eggs and shrimp [I don't remember the name ], which was tasty (I attached a photo). For my main course, I enjoyed the wings with greens and mac 'n cheese...I'm country, I needed some cornbread but they don't serve it! . My husband enjoyed the catfish with sweet potatoes and rice and gravy! The food arrived promptly, hot and fresh. However, the music was a bit too loud, making conversation challenging. While the music selection was nice, I found myself singing along a few times, it was just too loud for my 40+ ears....Overall, the food and service were excellent, but due to the loud music we cut our visit short after eating.....

I wish I could give this place a higher treating because the ambiance and the customer service was amazing!!!! This is a beautiful establishment with great decor and vibes! They have music playing not too loud! A great place to go for hookah, the best prices I've seen in Dallas, with many options and different sizes! The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable of menu items and suggestions!So after scanning the menu I decided to try the blackened salmon! I was told that might not be a good choice because the salmon pieces have been very small lately! I appreciated the honesty. She offered to check but then she came back and said they were completely out! This happens, but I feel as though this is something that should be known before we are given a menu! Then the French Kiss had to be remade! When we got the food the boudin balls were amazing, spicy but would absolutely order again! And the sauce paired perfect! I got the fried fish, with Mac and greens! The greens were good, everything else was average!Would come back for the drinks, boudin and hookah!

I was skeptical about this restaurant due to the unflattering photos of the food. Then again, photos can be deceiving, so I asked a few of my foodie friends who are brunch junkies. I received mixed reviews, so I was on my own. The brunch bday events went a little something like this...3,2,1.ProsPrivate lot for parking $13.00 bucksAwesome musicNice aesthetics and ambiance for photosFriendly staffDelish food (Very well seasoned and fresh) The bartender understood the assignment...lbsvsFood prices...reasonable. $17.00 for 7 wings and an order of fries. Which equals $9.00 for fries (ridiculous) and $8.00 for 6 wings. $1.33 a wing is again reasonable. ConsAlcoholic beverage prices...babii proud is an understatement. The izkina hurricane cost $20 and a French kiss cocktail was $16. Don't get me wrong, the beverages were definitely giving "let's get wasted," but I would have drank a few more if the prices weren't so high. Seating arrangements....our party was fourteen people deep. For large crowds, they offer a round booth that is supposed to seat eight individuals comfortably. These people must not have hips, thighs, or cushions because there was nothing comfortable about our seating arrangements. Eventually, we were able to seat half of our party in the booth next to the one we reserved. Would I go back? YesWould I attend another large gathering there? NoWould I recommend this location to others? YesThisnis a great restaurant for a girl's night, date night, anniversary or even a bday party. It all depends on the party size.

I was visiting Dallas and was looking for a decent hookah lounge/restaurant that didn't have too much of a club vibe, and I stumbled upon Izkina. We were able to walk in and get a table with no reservation, but it's best to make a reservation just in case. We waited a little while for our server to greet us, so service wasn't great. The hookah was large and came with 2 hoses for $45. The food was good! We ordered the oxtail tacos, and the salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The only thing that we didn't really care for about the food was that the broccoli was over seasoned and salty. Other than that everything was good.

The food is very delicious! Especially, the brunch menu. I liked the vibe and music. Which is old school and new school music! My favorite spot is the Bar area very roomy and comfortable! Hostess & server were upbeat, professional & fun. The atmosphere was lounge-likeIf you have a reservation, make sure you arrive on time as the wait can be quite long. However, overall it was a nice place.

This is my third time dining with Izkina and the food always hits the spot. A great place to listen to music, watch a game, and enjoy some really good food. My staple has become the catfish, shrimp, and grits. You cannot go wrong and will absolutely leave full as a tick!

Let's start from pulling up.. there's some parking on the side of the building, about 9 spots. After that parking runs out you will park on the street which you will pay for..Walking in you will be searched by security, ngl that had me wondering what I was walking into The place is a nice size and has a DJ. The restroom was clean, and had a nice sized mirror! I wish it had a full length one though.We ordered quite a few things and I'd say that the boudin balls were the best I'd give it an 7 out of 10..The glazed lamb chops were okay but had a lot of fat on them.. the potatoes weren't cooked enough and were cold omw guessing they had that waiting on the side while they cooked the lamb.The Hawaiian French toast (5) was good as well, but I wish it would have been more and not so small..The drinks were greattttt! The bartender huck, I think that was his name. He was so nice and the drinks were made on time and stole the show.The reason for my rating was because of the food and the gratuity, I honestly felt like they went overboard.. and as well as being charged a service charge on top of everything else

Unfortunately, this lacks my expectations. I would start with parking was a little challenging. It is very limited, and I would recommend that you know how to back your car into the parking spots. Ambiance: Once you walk in, there is a large lobby area with nowhere to sit if you are waiting to be seated. Therefore, I recommend making reservations. During my experience, there were two hosts and one was assisting another customer while the other did nothing but sit behind the desk with no greetings. Once the first returned, I was able to sit down with my party. There is where it interesting because the seating is a big u-shaped booth with a cocktail style table in the middle of the booth. Which could be a little uncomfortable for many folks. The decor was nice and bar area looked really nice. However, the music was too loud for a normal conversation. Service: As I mentioned there were two hosts at the front desk and one was helping, and the other was not doing anything. The host that helping was not very inviting as well. The wait service was very good. They were willing to assist with questions and concerns my party may have had. Food: The food had flavor but lack in presentation. Especially for my pasta. Also, I asked for the shrimp Mardi gras pasta, and I was missing andouille sausage. In addition, we ordered a drink that stated it was frozen from the menu, but the drink was not frozen. In addition, the prices of meals and drinks were not reasonable in opinion. Overall: It was not the greatest experience, and it is hard for me recommend. I wish them well; however I hope from some of the reviews, they will improve in these areas.

Great vibes in general. Visited on a Tuesday night and the vibes were nice. Not super crowded and i honestly saw quite a few couples. The music was diverse and the bartender Serg or Paul was super fun. The general ambiance and vibes is a 10/10Food was fresh and flavorful. The drink was on point!

We came for dinner and what a TIME we had. They have cute signs and swings that's picture perfect. Then a secret entrance to the back behind a book shelf which i thought was cool. DJ was playing all the hits so it was a really good vibe. Dinner is served until about 830pm. After that they switch to the late night menu. I got the steak tacos, which were bomb! And ended up ordering more! My friend who got the catfish wasn't too impressed with her entree choice. Soon after dinner, the ambiance changes to a night club setting so seating is limited unless you have booth reservations. Overall it was a fun time.
