"Love the hookah here!!! So smooth! We had watermelon passion fruit mint, a good combo. Maddie (sp?) was our waitress and she was very personable and friendly. They serve drinks here which are strong. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxed. They play a mix of music which is mostly R&B, which I really like.I plan to come here a lot more!!! Great place!"

Café Awtar

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (16)

"Cafe Awtar is a new Mediterranean restaurant and hookah lounge located on Richmond ave. close to Little India. I was invited to a private tasting to try a few things off of their menu and to check out the new space. I really appreciate that this establishment serves halal food and provides great service. Although I'm not too familiar with Mediterranean food - blame my upbringing - I truly enjoyed all of the flavors from each dish. The chef has a unique spin on Mediterranean traditional dishes compared to what I've had somewhere else. Their menu offers a lot of options. If you're in the area, bring a friend or two to come check them out! Instagram: @houstonfoodee"

Lama Mediterranean Persian Cuisine

"Wow! What an unexpected experience. My husband and I had to take our daughter to a doctor's appointment in the area and were looking for someplace to have a healthy lunch. We saw a sign for Lama and decided to give it a try. It was so beautiful inside! Our daughter was in awe. We loved the complimentary mint tea. My husband and I ordered one of the dishes for two that came with two sides and two appetizers. Then we had three types of meat and rice with pita bread. It was our servers first day and she did a great job! She was helpful and checked in with us to make sure we were pleased with our meal. We definitely will be coming back!"

Mazaj Hookah Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (163)

"TLDR: WOW. This place is amazing. I don't know why the reviews are so negative. This is my new go to spot for hookah, replacing MidTown's Cafe Layal. The food is amazing! The hookah is more packed in flavor! The ambience is very casual and chill, which is refreshing from the drunkards, the hipsters, the loud crowd coming into Cafe Layal.Food: -Beef Gyro Platter with two sides, Tabouli and Rice (5/5): the beef gyro was soft and tender and packed with salt and gyro flavor between two soft home cooked pita bread (hint of garlic). Definitely a must to try if you're in the mood for beef gyro. The rice is definitely flavored and perfect texture (not too soggy and not too dry). Tabouli is a weird kale mix salad with oil and something tarty but it was refreshing and healthy to balance the fats and saltiness of the beef and the rice. -Chicken Schwarma: (3/5) So the problem with getting chicken at most restaurants is overcooking, which leaves a dried and tough chicken. I am dissappointed but didn't expect much out of the chicken entree BUT this is very common in most restaurants-Fries (4/5): Seasoned cut potato fries. Hard to mess up and pretty dang good. Every one has their own preference and this fits me well-Ultimate Berry Smoothie (5/5): Worth the $6 for this fruit smoothie. Very refreshing smoothie. It is a blend of tart from the berries and sweetness from the other fruits. If you are expecting a sugar drink, this is not for you. This is real fruits and fruits are tarty. Ambience: (5/5) Easy to find parking compared to MidTown's hell. However, it starts getting crowded around 9pm-ish so parking will start becoming a problem. But let me tell you about the venue.IT IS AMAZING. They have an over wrapping outsideporch that is extremely spacious to house pretty much the same amount of people inside. It is similar to Axel Rad's outside experience but with hookah. The mood is great. You don't have to fight for tables. You don't have to reansomly walk up to an adjacent customer and awkwardly ask for a chair or be bothered to say "Sure". A lot of kids come here and they have fun and scream. If you're not into that, then this isn't the family fun environment for you. Hookah (5/5): I am no expertise in hookah. -blueberry mint tastes like a blueberry poptart. Stronger flavor compared to Layal's-lemon mint: classic lemon and mint flavoring -will try more later and updateI did not review and revise to save time."

Red Sky Hookah Lounge

"I went here with a few girlfriends and it was super packed. I was very surprised that so many people hung out here on a Friday night. After trying their hookah.. I definitely know why! Very flavorful and smooth. Loved the lounge feel.. only it didn't come off as "too clubby ". You all know what I mean.. That "forced club" vibe that many other hookah lounges have.However this vibe was very relaxed and chill. Great place to be after a long week of work wanting to just sit back and relax. I definitely recommend it. Their coffee is also pretty tasty!"

"Night out with my friend was a success. This 25+ spot is always a vibe. They have hookah, attentive service, and a good amount of seating. The dj is always on point, and the drinks are always strong! They have a photobooth, games and swings. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you want a chill place with good vibes."

Urban Smoke

"Urban smoke is owned by the same person (Ashley) that owns Urban Social right next door. I frequent Urban Social so once Urban Smoke opened it was easy to transition to the new business. Thus is a cigar lounge with a full bar, hookah, a members only area and live entertainment on some nights. It is a very top notch establishment and a must visit if you are a cigar smoker."

The bill came and gratitude was included despite there only being 3 of us. It was fun watching everyone be entertained and enjoy the scenery. Not sure we would come back!"

The Cave Hookah Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14) • $$

"Ok, this was my first hookah experience ever, so, I'm not real sure how the set up is supposed to work, but I'm just gonna tell you about it and you can either roll with it or scroll past it. First, GPS got us there pretty seamlessly, so it wasn't too hard for us to find, though without GPS, we might've missed it. There's a sign on the front door that says no alcohol or illegal drugs on the property. Just thought that this might be a good tip, since, as I understand it, some hookah spots allow BYOB. Not this one, apparently.Anyway, we walked in and it was definitely a younger crowd, though, we'll use the term "crowd" loosely as there were really only a handful of people in there. There were groups of couches around tables, at least one TV, and those paper party streamers hanging across the ceiling. We strolled up to the counter and there was a laminated sheet of paper taped to the counter with the list of flavors. There was a drink cooler behind the counter with bottled waters and sodas for sale along with those little 35 cent bags of chips. My husband let the guy know that it was my first time, but he just kinda stood there and nodded his head. He didn't really offer up any suggestions or go out of his way to be helpful, so I just picked Vanilla. The guy was also visibly agitated at some point by the fact that a couple of guys kept walking in and out the door.Then we paid the $16 and he told us he'd bring it out to us. We sat there for a while. I mean, I didn't time it or anything, but there was no on else ahead of us. But, hey, maybe it takes a while to set it up. Then when he brought it out to us, he stood there and smoked on it for a minute. While he was standing there puffing on our hookah, he tells the other guy that was working there to set up the hookah for the people who came in after us. Finally, he hands it over to us and tells me not to inhale it. We start trying it out and then the same guy comes out holding another hookah and tells us to wait. Apparently he was worried that he mixed our hookah up with the other people's. So he takes it from us and starts puffing on ours and then theirs and back on ours again to try and distinguish between the two flavors. All I'm saying is, it seemed a little suspect. Anyway, my husband told him that it seemed like we got the right flavor, so he took another drag, set it back down and walked the other hookah to those other dudes. I, personally, couldn't tell you what flavor we had, because I couldn't taste much of anything. Also, the couch was super uncomfortable with springs jabbing up through the thin leather/pleather material. I'm not trying to negate other people's reviews, but I am real shocked that this place got all 5-star reviews before this one. I mean, really, some of the words that other reviewers used to describe this place seems like they were visiting a completely different place than where we were.The one good thing I can say about this place was they definitely had some good music. They basically played an entire Lecrae album while we were there and some other techno-inspired music that had a nice beat and mellow vibe. I'll try hookah again, but probably not here."

★★★★☆ 4 (266) • $$

"Found this place through IG and of course bookmarked it so when I was in this side could give it a go, and I'm sure glad I did! I love Mediterranean food and all the photos looked great and the atmosphere as well, so I looped my coworkers together and off we went!When we pulled up the outside of the building was beautiful and inviting. We walked in and their was a small bakery counter to the left with a brick oven in the back as well. We were greeted promptly and were able to choose where we wanted to sit. Lots of space indoors and outdoors and also has a private dining space that you can have private parties in. I love that there was so much space to spread out, and plugs in Al the walls so should you hang out for a work day, you're plugged in and good to go. This place seems very authentic in my opinion, lots of hookah around as well, and all the food looked amazing it was so hard to decide!I got the samosas (half and half) as I couldn't decide which I wanted. I liked them both but prefer the beef! Also I ordered the chicken Schwarma with fries and it was absolutely delicious with the garlic sauce that comes with it. You can sub out your fries for a salad! Everything that came out look phenomenal, I wasn't able to finish all my food, so it was nice to have something for later on. The one thing I would say that would be helpful to know is water came out in a bottle so you're charged $3 for that and then gratuity is added in already as well. I definitely intend to come back and enjoy this delicious food! Our waiter was super nice and attentive so I appreciate how kind everyone was during our visit."

Ive Never been to a lounge like this one. Theyre open late enough for our night owl spirits . There's a good amount of space for parties . I'm looking forward to hanging with my friends and meeting new people over BYOB drinks at events they host like kareoke , dance nights , African nights and such. The owners are really friendly and caring towards us. Highly recommend the hookah lounge."

"Wow? Finally a hookah place in sugar land that's worth going to. I don't have to drive all the way to patio now. I had low expectations for this location. I have literally seen this location change hands multiple times over the years. They are doing a great job though. Staff was attentive. Very nice ambience! Hookah is actually good! Hero flavor, ! Love it. Plenty of parking. Food was surprisingly good. I just hope they can sustain the quality. First time I went with friends, we got the mixed grill plate, lamb chops were good, shish Tawook was good. We got beef Shwarma our second time with the family and liked it. The drinks are subpar. Need work in that avenue. They were very attentive with the hookah as well. Multiple people came by to ask about the service. I m loving it. The internet is blazing fast, will bring my work and spend the day sometimes now that I know. Please for heavens sake, maintain this quality of food and service and you will have loyal customers! Fantastic place!"

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (12)

"Look. I had an absolute blast. Much thanks to my late night yelp buddy Austin J. When I walked in a little after 11pm there were a few seats at the bar. Nice seats with backs!! But what is that DJ playing? Hard core hip hop and 90% of the crowd was 30s with a few others older/younger in between. I was going to leave after one drink but then the DJ obviously got a clue and realized his crowd was older. He played a few old school hip hop sets then switch to reggae which was cool. So people actually got up and danced. He finally kind of got it. Free buffet from 5-9pm on Friday with half price drinks. Buffet was still out when I got there. Ice cold but free so no complaint. Probably 6 to 8 food items. Bartenders were surprisingly friendly and the drinks were strong. After two mixed drinks and a beer I was done. And how about another place where people dance. It was great to see. The DJ needs to work on his thing. He was switching songs as soon as the crowd got into it, he would switch from hip hop to freaking Latino music. Wtf! He dont know how to mix music at all. Small patio out front. Once it catches on, it is going to be packed. I did not care for the hookah inside. Take that ish outdoors please. But looks like this place will be a good time. Come now while it's not too crowded"

LAST CALL HOOKAH LOUNGE

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"This place looks like a basement. Terrible slow service. Very moody and attitude filled staff. Drinks were nasty. You have to walk up to the bar in order to get your drinks or food. Food took over 1 1/2 hours (chicken wings and chicken tenders). Hookah was listed as one price and I was told another after it was ordered. They have a lot of things to work on. I'd probably never come back even if they fixed everything."

★★★★★ 4.7 (67) • $$

"Would you believe me, if I told you, I went here for tea?Never been to a Lounge that I enjoyed this much. I really enjoy how this hookah lounge is operated. The music that's played, is soft enough to hold a low convo, and loud enough to enjoy. Faris Hookah serve the BEST TEA. I ordered the Black tea, which came with mint leaves in the serving kettle. Quality tea with thick quality Leaves. Kettle kept my tea pipping hot the ENTIRE stay. The Tea this place serve is better than any Starbucks, or tea house I've visit. I would definitely return for a kettle of tea."

"Jollof was spot on! Spot on! I was pleased.Portions are heaping. Each order comes with huge portion of jollof, meat and succulent plantains.The environment: small clean restaurant placed in a gas station strip mall. In side is very neat, decor is chíc. Would probably seat 25-30 comfortably. Several TVs. Supposedly there will be hookah at some point.When I visited, stay-at-home orders had just been lifted and not many were voyaging out to eat. I was the only one in the restaurant. But they were nice and accommodating and I feel this place has great odds despite a rough start with COVID season!"

I believe it was Abrim (apology if name is misspelled ir wrong) our first time visit great. Free parking is always a plus for me. I'm always on Richmond somewhere so it's good to have a Mediterranean lounge close to home. They do offer a view games to play as well as video games for those that like to play. I didn't try the food because we were just leaving brunch. They have only been open for a little over a week after talking to him I love his vision for his business and his customers."

The Domain Restaurant & Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (81)

"Met a few friends last Friday night for a girls night out. Arrived around 9PM and there ewe plenty of parking (free) in the lot. There was plenty of seating in the section booths or at tables. We were only there for a couple of hours so we were able to sit the whole time but I'm not sure if you have to leave the sections when it gets later and people start wanting bottle service. They played mostly hip-hip/r&b and around 11 I started hewring down afrobeats . We ordered a hookah and man oh man it was really strong! Not so much harsh but strong where you get a little lightheaded after a few puffs. I believe we paid $40 and the hookah man did a good job if refilling our coal without us having to ask.Our waitress' name was Key (I believe). She was very sweet and very attentive with us. They had $6 premiums until 11PM so I ordered a couple of rounds of crown and coke and they were nice and strong. For my food I orders the honey sriracha and garlic Parmesan wings with the truffle fries and it was fire!! I mean all of it was fire!! Highly recommend! The only downside I would say was that we were charged the appetizer price for the fries after originally being told that the truffle fries would be an "up charge of a couple of dollars". So keep that in mind if you're ordering the wings, they don't come with fries. You'll have to pay for a side. Overall I really enjoyed the vibes and the ambiance, it was very chill and laid back but you could also dance and have fun too. Highly recommend for happy hour or night out with friends."

★★★★☆ 3.7 (274)

"Glad to have a hookah and chill spot where I can smoke and sip on a beverage. The atmosphere is relaxing whether indoors or outside in the tented/covered area. It's a bit close to my residence and has converted me to being somewhat of a regular here whenever I'm in the mood for hookah. My go-to is that watermelon mint; never fails. Pair it with a glass of red and perhaps some hot tea and I'm as sound as a pound.Haven't tried much of the food although the hummus is a classic appetizer with the oil and spices mixed in. I will need to try the dishes such as the schwarma and falafel as the other reviews are talking them up. As for drinks, they have a full bar with a surprising elegant wine selection. Other hookah drinks such as hot tea and lebanese coffee can be had too.I've received nothing but warm welcome from the staff when I arrive which is another reason I enjoy frequenting this place. Just grab a spot somewhere outside, get your hookah, sip your drink, and enjoy life!"

We were greeted and helped by Mike. he was super helpful, and made some really amazing Hookah mixes! Would definitely recommend trying his mixes....( Mike's mix he called them ) !! The best part they even had a food menu, which we ordered by the end of the night and was not disappointed at all! The beef and chicken sandwich were delicious ! Had an amazing time and would recommend to people to check out the place !!"
