Nara Cafe

Good place. My best friend likes the hookah and food here. I like the tea, smoothies and food. Not too much for the Smokey environment but I'll deal with it on occasions for good company. The manager/owner/staff Akhmed (not sure if spelled right) was pretty cool. Tabouli and chicken hummus was delicious. Other people liked their take on cheese pizza (it's called something else though).

This hookah lounge is the only place I am willing to smell hookah for the sake of the food, drinks, and desserts. Their mint lemonade is the texture of a slushy, it is my go to drink whenever I'm there. Their chai pot is good, compared to other chais I've had in the general Houston area this one has a stronger tea flavor. As for food, I usually get the philly cheesesteak-look, I know we live in Texas and I'm eating a cheesesteak at a Mediterranean hookah bar. It hits the spot and it automatically comes with fries. I highly recommend it if you're craving something close to a burger but you don't want a burger. Their kenafa is made to order, so the wait can range from 10-20 minutes. But it is 100% worth the wait. I order it every time I'm there. Tips are automatically included and there are no cups of water, only water bottles. The restrooms are a bit smelly but that's pretty much my only complaint. It can get really hazy, but you're in a hookah bar so don't be surprised lol.

Mahmoud manager was great and provide great hospitality. Made up for the service provided from the server. Will come again. Food was delicious as well and great ambiance. Thank you.

Came here as I heard a lot of it, have a mini celebration as I am new to the area. I thought about checking it out, it's a super casual with an outdoor seating, there's hookah inside and outside, we have ordered a few entree's however we found a razor in the rice!!!!! Thankfully no one got injured however we didn't get a refund and we paid the check in full which was OK for us but they've checked the kitchen and they have realized that the razor fell while cutting some food at the back and it accidentally fell I have no idea how but I am definitely not going there again.

Cool casual place to hang out! While I was getting my car serviced I walked over to Nara Cafe for "linner". It was authentic and good but not great. I would go back though. It seems like a nice Hookah lounge with decent food, it kinda gives you a sports bar feel without the bar. I ordered the lamb chops, hummus and rice. I also had some good baklava for desert. All were good but not great. However, to the casual person it's worth a visit.

GREAT SPOT!Food is by far amazing, low key ambiance which makes it so wonderful to hang out with friends! I do not recommend it for children or family since it's always full of large groups of men due to it being huge for poker/cards etc. Staff is so friendly and best part they're open til 5am. We always love going here to hang out and eat. The food never disappoints so you have to try every single thing it IS worth it!!!

10 out of 10. Food was good. Service was great. Reasonably prized. And hookah was on point. I will be back

EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD AND FAST HERE Especially after a night out of drinking with your friends this is a great place to debrief and have amazing food. I order the chicken Shawarma with a side of rice and the drink Kasamiro is to die for!!

Very casual hookah spot. Stays open till 4 or 5 am. I come here sometimes thinking it's a great place to study only to realize that the wifi rarely works. Otherwise solid place to get good hookah. Nice place to play boardgames with friends as well. The space is big enough to accommodate large groups. Haven't really tried the food so can't comment on that.

Came to Houston for a short weekend and was recommended to this place. Everything I had was amazing. No alcoholic beverages but the mint lemonade I highly recommend. Our waiter Rawad was amazing and gave great recommendations. The hookah was smooth and well worth it. It did not disappoint!
