Had the BEST meal of our trip. Great drinks& vibe fresh delicious fish chicken & steak - incredible hummus and very attentive service from Marlie.
Came here on a Wednesday evening and it was a great night! The host seated us right away and quickly gave us menus. He was also serving as the bartender, so we didn't have to wait too long! We got peach/mint hookah, it is hands down the best mix I've had! The flavors were well balanced, the coals burned at the right speed and everything was flowing as it should. The seating is so comfy, allowing total relaxation. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in LES!
Was looking for a hookah spot last minute after being turned away at our first choice due to not having a reservation. So glad we stumbled upon Aziza!! It was exactly what I was looking for, something small, cute and intimate and the music was on point. If you're looking for some chill hookah vibes this is the place
Great little lounge! There is a small bathroom in the back. Friendly, welcoming staff & good quality hookah!
Nice cozy spot to chill and hookah. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Def my new fav hookah spot in the city. Prices are reasonable unlike a few other places I've been.
Definitely found a good hookah place well worth visiting even on a cold evening!! Place is definitely a good place to come and have an excellent hookah session whether alone or group! Ronnie who helped me out was very friendly and welcoming! Good selections on the hookah, drinks, and tea/coffee! Music is definitely good for the ambience! Prices are fair but the service is excellent! Place might be a little chilly but Ronnie makes sure its warm for all the customers!
