I don't really understand the 1star review [first review] given... it doesn't accurately or honestly rate Lux... seems as though it's simply a slight against the place since he didn't get whatever he was expecting. Anyways... a more relevant review: Atmosphere: ----------------- Pretty solid, they have a dozen or so seating areas for different size groups. There is 1 sit-on-floor booth style, some tables, some couches and even a pool table. The theme is decidedly red and it works. 2 plasmas hang on the walls playing sports or music videos. The music is also good, the right amount of chill , I'd say house style. Considering this place is in a strip mall... i am impressed with their layout. It is also very clean and fairly spacious. Hookah Service: ------------------------ The hookah is good bordering on great... it all depends on the flavor you get. I've had some bland ones and some great ones. Your experience will depend on recommendations from the server and your preferences. IMO only the strong hookahs are worth the time. The menu is bewilderingly large... and the names will look like foods/drinks [which was what i thought at first]. Then you realize those are all flavors you can try. The service was quick and polite. Granted you will need to flag a server down [depending on how busy it is] when you want something but they are happy to oblige and take care of you super fast. Price: --------- As with any hookah joint, there is a per person minimum... not a big deal. It usually amounts to what you would spend otherwise [without being super cheap - like 1 hookah for a group]. You might end up spending more if you go with a couple drinks. It's a hookah joint, so it wont be cheap, pay to play as they say. Conclusion --------------- If you are into hookah, check it out. I was happy to see that the interior decoration, service, and hookah are definitely up to par... felt like the manager/owner was honest in their attempt to start a shop. You can't say that about every hookah joint you see.

Lux Chateau has a very nice environment, but when i went in to their lombard location and their loyola location i was surprised to notice that they only like to cater to muslims... im a white kid and when i showed interest in music and television selection they explained to me that they only play muslim music and television... the sheesha was great if you like to smoke out of small hookahs. the service was so-so. i wish my experience had been better. i hope this review helps you improve your business.
