I was so excited when I found out that a Hookah Bar had opened up in Elk Grove and I could only hope that it would live up to my expectations. Well I went for the first time last night, and it did. It was great, just my type of place. It is such a step up from Cobblestone that it's ridiculous. First and foremost, it's clean. There is seating along the walls in the form of a long continuous padded bench and it is laden with pillows for your comfort. If you have a large group of friends there are plenty of chairs to pull up as well. They keep their Hookah's in the fridge to keep them cold which makes for a better smoke, which I really enjoy. The hoses on their hookahs are are just simple round tubing with the usual apparatus at the end for you to smoke through which is much cleaner that the average hookah. They have plenty of flavors, some which I have tried and some which I haven't, but I'm pretty sure that you wont be disappointed. I'm looking forward to when they get pumpkin spice back in stock. They have a variety of drinks, both hot and cold which are priced well, water is only a dollar which is great. There is Baklava and quite a few other treats for sale, I tried it last night and it was great as well. If you are used to going to Cobblestone but want a better environment with better hookahs, and better owners, and cleaner bathrooms and an overall better experience, then I suggest you stop by Amaraen Cafe. 5 out of 5.
