Its located in a small strip mall with limited parking, I advise against parking in the lot.  If you are visiting at night, try street parking first.  If you like to smoke hookah at all hours of your night, check this place out.  I warn you though, it is more expensive than the better hookah cafes.  They charge a minimum so.. order food, snacks, dessert, whatever,  otherwise you will pay $10 / person.  Its BS.Weekends, its as if it were a club for teenagers, they close at 4am, I believe. The place is packed with people 15-21. The dance floor is a grind fest for teenagers.Some nights a DJ will spin hip hop, dance or something  more middle eastern/bollywood etc. The DJ is not good, no mixing technique, please just play the songs! Make sure you watch your server otherwise you may get sucky service like I did. I was smoking hookah with a group of friends, we ordered, I kept asking the waitress about the food, three hours had gone by and still nothing. Management was useless. This manager had the nerve to tell me, "maybe the hookah was so good, you've forgotten you had your meal, I promise you buddy, you would've been served, I cannot believe you havent." I dunno what kind of BS he was smoking. .I made a goofy smile and pointed him back to the kitchen, (Iggamo!)Some nights they have entertainment, on this Saturday night they had a belly dancer.. it got wild! Some of the locals were bathing the dancer in singles.  I've never seen a clothed woman make so much money. Sit close to the dance floor and she may pull you up.  Hummus was decent, nothing special.Maybe its better on weekdays..  I can understand busy situations, but the waitress seemed to be smoking her own hookah, she didnt want to make good tips.. she wanted to be tipsy.They don't serve alc here, only O'douls I believe.  Call ahead, I think you can BYOB.

I've only been here once, but I'm going back for a friend's birthday party on the 8/23.  I enjoyed it the first time.  It was pretty empty until much later, roughly midnight.  The hookah prices were a bit out of there, $10 a person, but it wasn't too bad, overall.The hookah itself was quite pleasant, it was quite tasty and the whole atmosphere is quite relaxing.  The dance floor and disco ball went unused that night, which was probably for the best, looking back on it.Parking can be a pain, I imagine, but it was quite empty there when I went.  I guess it's just a game of chance with this place and parking.  Good luck.Not a bad place at all, overall.  If you're looking for a nice place to sit down and relax with some friends, this is a good one.  Still didn't compare to the one in Evanston, RIP...
