This a hidden gem in the plantation area. The environment is great as well as the ambiance, very traditional middle eastern spot. Service was great they were attentive at all times. We went there for the hookah but also tried their hummus and pita and the chicken quesadilla, big portions of food and very tasty. Hookah did not disappoint at all. We’ll be there very soon. Also you should give a try to the Beirut beer. Last night they had a dancer that was the highlight of the night. Very nice place!
If you want a place with the best kind of atmosphere and food then this is the place for you! We were helped by Khalid that not delivered great customer care but went above and beyond for us!!! Definitely will be coming back every time we’re in town !
Amazing place, great hookah, food is delicious!!! Love the staff always take care of me
Our server Moe was very attentive and nice. He helped us pick a really good flavor for the hookah and had great suggestions for food. The hookah was good quality and food was delicious. Side note— bring a jacket it’s cold in there! I’ll definitely be back again soon.
Incredible hookah and food, enjoyed every minute of it. Staff are really friendly too. Only issue is they had one poor girl running the show all by herself along with a guy taking care of hookah. It was very hard to get their attention for ordering and checking out but this is not the staff's issue,.it's just them and it's so busy. Place is beautiful but also could use more cleanliness, even the menu had Ketchup on it lol. Overall still would give 5 star for everything.
First time visiting the town and this is the first place i came to eat and smoke hookah the service was excellent food was delicious and the hookah was perfect after long trip. Highly recommended Mike is the best
I love the outside seating, inside is too smokey for me. Great hookah, great hookah service- which is more important than the hookah. I love the hookah young man that walks around and change the charcoal, he is nicer than the service staff. The mint and lemon cold drink is amazing, the shawarma bites are delicious, the fruit with cream dip is heavenly and the nuts are crisp and fresh. My fav is the sage tea after all the good stuff.
Authentic middle eastern place. Cool vibe and great place to socialize and smoke some Hookah. Nicely located in the city and near everything I had a solid experience. The place has a relaxed vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering. Hookah is available outside and inside as well which adds to the laid-back feel and atmosphere. Good spot if you’re looking for casual Middle Eastern food without the wait or fuss. Parking can be a little tight during peak hours, but it’s manageable. Worth checking out if you're nearby and want something low-key with good flavor. I would definitely visit again next time in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
