Danny Salazar:Best hookah and belly dancing especially on weekends. Make sure to get a lemonada. It's their signature drink.

New York Post:Grab a seat on the plush couches hiding behind veiled curtains, order some hookah and co*cktails and split the lamb chops. From your kissing casbah, you can see the belly dancers’ show. Read more.

Arleezy:I do not recommend this place. I went here on a Sat. night. I thought it was a hookah bar but its just a basem*nt bar & it's ghetto. A fight broke out with the bar tender & patrons, left immediately.
