This place was fun on a Friday night and good hookah, good crowd and awesome music. The owner seemed like a buzzkill he kept asking the DJ to turn the music down. It was not loud. everyone seemed pretty laid back. Downside only one toilet bathroom ugh I hate those. Very good drink specials !

I’ve been here every Fri or Sat night the past three weeks. There are always bar fights. The staff seems nice, but the customers are not fun. Some of the guys look dirty, and some of the girls might be dudes. I like the fries.

This was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hookah bar. Horrible customer service, I wouldn’t even call it customer service. Went here after work with a friend to catch up. Place was empty which was fine so we could chat. Music was so loud we could not hear each other so we ask the workers to turn it down and they flat out say no that this is how it has to be. No one was there. We were the only customers so why they couldn’t turn the music down a bit is beyond me. Secondly, there were about 6 – 8 fans on directly above the hookah, this burns the head faster. We asked to turn them off, again it was a no. The hookah was AWFUL! I’ve had bad hookah before but this was hands down the worst. Don’t even bother going to this place.

Great potential, Hookah and alcohol. However the music is horrible. Non-stop Latin music that doesn’t fit with the crowd of the restaurant. The fact that reggaeton is blasting in my ear the whole night kind of ruins the experience.

Well… I came here for my birthday with a few friends. We actually didn’t have to wait very long to get a table or drinks. BUT… we did have to wait for everything else: A waitress. The menus. The hookah. The food. Geez. Good thing the music was awesome or I would’ve been really upset. When we finally got it going… the hookah was great and the food was delicious! THEN a cake fight broke out at the table next to us! Really? Cake everywhere! They almost knocked over our hookah and everything. Apparently another gal was celebrating her birthday too… her family and friends completely took over the entire venue. Smashing cake everywhere, smoking cigarettes and other substances in our faces, screaming and hollering so loudly. Then the DJ started playing only the music she wanted to hear! We had enough. Of course, we couldn’t find our waitress when it was time to leave. Took us almost 45 mins to pay and get out of there! A fight was starting to break out, so we signed our checks and ran out of there. Just as we were leaving, the cops showed up. Thank goodness we got out of there! I hear it’s nicer in the day time for lunch. I will just have to take their word for it right now. Not so sure I want to try it again anytime soon.

Be sure to try out the gum mint flavor! They also mix flavors for you so try out some different mixes, one burned before the other started so it was nice that the flavors didn’t mix since our picky group got some odd combination, but definitely try making your own combos! The fries we ordered were made fresh and so hot you couldn’t eat them for a bit but definitely recommend this hookah bar if you’re feeling a cozy, not fancy place to just chill and have a good time! Of course as others said you had to get stuff done yourself, such as going to the bar to call a hostess or going in to order something else. Hostesses never checked up on us but responded very fast when we did ask for something. Of course we went on a day it was raining(just our luck) but definitely be sure to go here on an evening where the weather is nice because they’re group tables are like Hawaiian themed and they even have a pagoda if your group wants to sit in somewhat of its own room! Overall good night, with good company, and good fun! Recommend this place for a casual night out!

I love this place. My friends and I have been regulars here for years now, and have seen it go through several changes. They have a great outdoor, covered seating area now, and installed fire pits last winter. The hookah ranges from poor to excellent depending on who packs it. Truthfully, I don’t come here for the food. Just a good place for hookah AND drinks in MoCo. The service could use some improvement, but I think that is because they are understaffed most nights. The staff does hustle to the best of their abilities. Shout out to Steven who will try to accommodate you best he can. Recommendation: Do not come on Friday or Saturday nights. It gets stupid packed with a usually younger crowd. I prefer weeknights here, calmer, and more of a chill vibe.

Pretty cool place but service is hit or miss, like mentioned by previous Unilocalers. BP’s work friends invited us out. There was one Hookah ordered for the table. The server did give individual tips to those who wanted to smoke, so I thought that was nice. BP and I stuck to food rather than smoking, but those who smoked seemed to like the mint melon hookah. We had a cheesesteak with fries and an orange soda. The cheesesteak and fries were good, but the soda tasted flat and service was slow when trying to get re-fills.

I walked in to get a bite to eat at 3pm on a Friday, and I was told that the kitchen was closed because they did not have anyone around to cook. Sounds like they need to change the name of their establishment and leave off the grill part at the end. Plus, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to serve alcohol if you don’t have food available for your customers.

I am happy to have a local hookah bar where my coworkers and I can enjoy hookah outside and drink and relax. With that said, this place could use some improvement. Sometimes I just don’t want to hang out here for the following below. Service is pretty bad, slow or busy night. Don’t sit and assume someone will come to you to see if you need another drink or anything. Mixed Drinks seem really watered down. You are safe with beer on draft. Shock top is my best personal choice. The hookahs seem fine. Again, if you need a repack, don’t assume someone will come to you and ask. Go get help. The men’s bathroom is always a mess. I don’t think anyone cleans the bathroom regularly. I say this because there is no bathroom check sheet documenting hourly/regular checks. I also say this because if you start the night with a dirty toilet, it will only get worse. I’m talking about broken toilet seat cover, urine all over the floor, and paper towels on floor next to trash can. It looks like they repaired the walls and mirror. It looks nice but the urine foul smell makes me feel dirty and unwelcome. If another local hookah bar pops up, I would be sure to go there than here.

Nice outdoor spot, cheap drinks and hookah when someone finally brings it. The service is really bad. Something the owner should work on. Oh and I hope the DJ gets more practice if it’s the same one every weekend.

Let me put it this way. This is def the spot to have a last minute drink! Do not expect to have amazing service here. The food is def not my favorite but at least the fries are alright. If you decide to try this place out, I recommend the hookah and a drunk night. Good luck.

Let me tell you this was my first Hookah Bar experience, and it was great. The food was awesome and Irene the bartender can make great drinks. Cheers! Watching Floyd Mayweather remain undefeated was so awesome and I will definitely be returning. Thanks BJ for the great service I’ll be returning soon.

Ok… the Hookah part of this place is good. dare I say great. $ 15 for hookah is less than going to D.C. many flavors to choose from. Now the food… well I would stick to fries or mozzarella sticks. I went there with a friend, had a decent night. The server was very slow… not attentive. We finally ordered … lamb kabobs and chicken Soulvaki. .both were under cooked. the chicken was way undercooked … Raw to be exact! Also the drinks are pretty week. Beer is actually your better bet.

1 star for the weak drinks. 0 for the hookah. The flavors seem washed out and tastes like they mix it with soap. I got blue mist and it never tastes like soap til I tried it here.

Queen Peach Sheesha is THEBEST. The drinks are okay, not too potent and the ice is dirty. I never was charged a cover and we have spent MANY A NIGHTS here. It is one of the few things to do in gaithersburg in the summertime. outside hookah. they serve food, i havent eaten there but the staff is cool. they play music, smoke hookah and have fun while working. I never had a horrible experience nor a great one but it is def one of the few things i have found to do in the area. The prices are reasonable for everything as well.

I wish I could give them less… there customer service is awful… I took my boss there for drinks and hookah one night first thing they ask for is a credit card like ur gonna walk out. Then after about an hour and $ 90 in we asked for the tab. Bad mooded waitress brought back the receipt for signature. Once we signed we decided to finish our drinks, she came and told us we needed to move, we told her we were leaving in 10 mins. She said ok. About 3 min later security came to the table… I could not believe how rude this places staff is and how embarrassed I was with my boss. I tried to talk to the manager or owner, was told no one was in charge. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Came here last night with my boyfriend and his friend. We Had to pay a $ 5 entrance fee which honestly I think is ridiculous for such a small place that just serves subs and hookah. The service was horrible, our server came by about 2 times and that’s it. We had to go look for him if we needed anything including the bill. We ordered steak and cheese and payed extra $ 3 for fries and a can of soda. The food was good but way over priced. The environment is very nice and I would go back but I would not order food because it made the bill come out very high. $ 68 just for 3 sub combos and 1 hookah. I would only go back for the environment and to hang out. Also we ordered a strawberry hookah and when we finally get it we try it. It didn’t taste like strawberry so we said something, the server said he had MIXED it and WASN’T going to tell us but since we noticed he did. Wtf?

Let me set things straight. YES this place is small, excluding the spacious patio. The service, YES it’s HORRIBLE. I got there around 10:30 last night. My boy had already ordered a hookah 30 minutes before I got there and it still wasn’t set up. It was chilly outside, and of course, since there is no room inside, we were forced to be outside. We asked many waiters for a heater because we noticed other customers with heaters near their tables, and all the waiters said was«yea I can get you one». And we never received one the entire night. The waitress, a Puerto Rican, who was noticeably under the influence of alcohol, kept forgetting to attend us. We had to ask other waiters to get her to come to our table again at least 5x. I can’t lie, she DID hook us up with drinks which she claims one she doesn’t have a name for and another drink she calls«La Sucia»(Dirty Girl translated in English). This is the only reason I give it 1 star. I ordered a BLT(my fav anywhere) and again, we waited a great amount of time. The bread was ehhhh, the fries were ehhhh, and I never got my soda for the combo. The music was pretty cool. They played EDM and Moombahton all night so I guess I was sort of entertained. At the end of the night, we kept asking our waitress(who was now behind the bar and clearly drunker than she was when we arrived). She kept stalling with our bill and even offered us shots of Jäger and Patron. We declined. Finally, the bill came out to $ 161. $ 64 went to 8 drinks. And they charged extra for the bacon JUSTBECAUSE I SAID I WANTEDLOTSOFBACON! MOTHAF… I hate this place. I hate it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, regardless of any good things I’ve mentioned about it.

This place was literally a hole in the wall. It wasn’t that big at all. It was only about four or five people wide but much longer. There’s a bar for eating and drinking that even comes with an XBox 360 for customers to play. The hookah smoking takes place outside because of Maryland laws prohibiting smoking indoors. They have food here. I ordered a gyro combo, which came with fries and a can of soda. The fries were average, but this gyro was not very good. It reminded me a bit of a soggy soft taco with tzatziki sauce that tasted more like Thousand Island dressing. Overall, I can pass on the food next time I come here. There are some interesting things about this place, but it still pales in comparison to even other bars in the Gaithersburg area.
