Mazaj Hookah Bar & Grill

Great service for a group. Food is fresh and delicious. Waiter was attentive. Great for late night hangouts.

RATS!!!!! We're seated outside and see a giant rat jump onto the table in front of us digging for food!!!!! Luckily I got my phone out in time to capture this!!! We had been sitting there for around 30 minutes and no one had come to clean the other table from the previous guests, filled with food, making it the perfect home for rats!! Even worse, our waiter saw the rat, laughed and walked away. Disgusting. Never coming back here again!

Best Hookah in town so far. Love it during the summer, it has a nice patio with a huge fountain in the Center. Large screen to be able to enjoy the sports and TVs around. Indoors has TVs everywhere and it's for those who don't like the outdoors. There's also a semi-covered area. During the winter they have the heaters and they cover half of the outdoor patio to still enjoy the outdoors.Kids playground around the back that's gated for children's safety. Be aware it's a family friendly environment so no alcohol at all. Delicious fruit smoothies, desserts, and of course the food. My number one waitress is Tatiana and waiter Hannahn.

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.

Nice place. I don't smoke but my older brother does. Very nice and comfortable place. Good and friendly service. My brother and our childhood friend that joined us apparently frequent here and gave rave reviews about their experiences in the past.My friend ordered Mixed Fruit hookah and shawarma with fries. My brother and I had just came from having dinner at Chuy's. I only ordered an ice tea. Taste was good but I will say that I asked for a refill on my ice tea and in 30 min I never got it. Ended up leaving without ever getting it.I personally won't be back since I don't smoke, but if you're into hookah this is a good place for you to come to.

Went today and there was no out door seating, it was a hot, plastic tarp enclosed area where people were breathing in each others smoke and not anywhere close to being 6 feet apart. Absolutely disgusting

This is more of a 3.5 stars. If we go based on the atmosphere, 5 stars. Live music (Saturday night), water fountain, nice outdoor seating, and friendly people. The service was alright, based on Arab standards. The good stuff we ordered: The sampler appetizers, falafel, fruit plates, tea, Turkish coffee, tabouli, fries basketThe bad: The cappuccino was basically the 3 in 1 packet with some water (coffee expert trust me) The mint lemonade was too sweetOverall, yes I would come here again, but probably just stick to some tea/smoothie, fries, and appetizers. (And of course hookah). The arayis are not really arayis, but taste okay (just toasted flat bread with mix in it) Note: they will charge you 20$ minimum per person for groups of 8 or more and 18% gratuity.

In all honesty this place wasn't my first choice. I found it going around the block to find a parking spot at the place I wanted to try. I guess it was meant to be, because once I saw the patio I was sold. This place has a patio that is so live! I mean TV's, hookah, and live music, what's not to like. I had already eaten so I only tried the hummus which was pretty good. The atmosphere is family friendly and the drinks were okay. Did I mention the patio? Overall, its a nice relaxing spot that has great service and oh they have a great patio. I will be back!

Spending some time in the MIddle East, I became accustomed to fresh and yummy food. I happened to see the lights and smelled the shisha. This place never disappoints!! Every dish we have tried has been exactly like I remembered, and the house shisha is amazing. Never come to Houston without stopping here!!! Staff is always inviting.

It's horrible food an service . Don't recommend it to anyone have no passion waiting .
