fumare is GREAT, if you can find it. a hint to those who have never been there - it is hidden in the corner of a shopping mall, near a taco bell. you will probably miss it, as my friends have on several occasions.the hookah is great, very smooth, and they have one of the widest varieties of flavors. my favorite is 'egyptian pharaoh' - vanilla mixed with pistachio. there's enough flavors to please ANYONE.did i mention that the hummus is phenomenal? i love it. they also cut the bread into triangles, which is a nice touch. the VIP tent is nice, and i like the idea of the curtains dividing the tables. the lanterns on the wall are nice. but please, get new tables!my man and i went on a saturday night once, and it was packed. i've never seen fumare THAT busy. the guy at the counter said to him, 'give me your number and we'll call you when there's a table available.' so, like the other hookah bars in the area (samah, sigara, guess hookah), you should really call in advance.

Went there on a Tuesday night, nice place open till 12. I recommend the Egyptian Tea and as far as Hookah flavors just ask the owner. Like Allyson said, hard to find it's behind the Taco Bell. The service wasn't the greatest we got a faulty hookah first and it took a bit to replace. Otherwise good atmosphere, I'd go there again if I'm too lazy to drive to the city.

as soon as i discovered thsi place i stoppe dgoign to all other hookah bars, the atmosphere is super cool (Especially the VIP area), the prices are very reasonable and their hookah selection is the best! some i recommend are peach fuzzy navel, pink lemonade, mango or fruit cocktail. however, stay away from grape, jasmine or rose. I came here for my birthday s well and rented one of the VIP rooms, and they didn't charge me so that was pretty sweet! Also, their fruit smoothies are the best they have this special one that's made with pomegranate and something else which i can remember but the drink is purple and it is amazing. Ask for it!

Fumare used to be my favorite hookah joint.  They have the best hookah in the Chicago area.  The prices are very competitive as well.  My complaint is that the service has really gone downhill.  For about 2 months, my friends and I set-up shop in there to do some work and spent 100-200 a week there.  It seemed like I became a "regular" and all of sudden they did not need to pay attention to me.  I gave it one more shot not to long ago, went in, ordered my favorite hookah and...  It was horrible.  I left after 15 minutes because it was so bad...  I used to recommend Fumare to everyone, but unfortunately, it has gone downhill...

Good place to go to avoid having to go to the city.  Prices are decent: $11 per person min for a booth seat and $9 per person min for a table seat.  There is also a VIP section, I think it was $18 a person?  But that you have to call and reserve usually, it is a small tent type set up that can hold 10 -15 people.  Food isn't too bad, there is not a huge selection but you can get a chicken or beef swarma sandwich that isn't bad and their humus is pretty good!Hooka is good too, last time we were there we did not like the hooka, the taste was bad.  They corrected it and gave us a new hooka without a problem, it was very good the second time!Check out the website, it is pretty helpful as well!

The hookah haven among the NO SMOKING signs.  Good size, nice staff, excellent tobacco selection, ok menu.Something is not quite right here, and I think it's the strange furnature choices.  I think overstuffed chairs and giant pillowy things would be more suited to this place, BUT, they are doing what they can, and it's sufficent for now.  If you want to hookah, give them a try.
