Habibi Lounge — Restaurant in Aurora

I'm a huge fan of hookah! I've checked out lounges in various cities and even different countries, and I usually go for either the top-rated spots or the ones that totally miss the mark. For me, a five-star joint has three must-haves: a solid hookah selection, a diverse range of flavors, and good service.

Let's talk hookah selection. They've got both regular and Babylonian options. I went for the Babylonian hookah and loved its size and setup. Honestly, those tiny hookahs that only hold two coals are just a pain. I like at least three coals, and I usually prefer a metal base over aluminum. The base here is aluminum, which is standard but okay. The smoke was fantastic! Plus, they offer an ice base and hose if that's your thing, which is a nice touch.

Now, about the shisha variety and quality. I tried the house mix with some mint added, and it was spot-on. I'm about an hour and a half in, and the flavor is still great--no harshness at all. They clearly know what they're doing with the prep, which isn't something you find everywhere.

As for service, it took a few minutes to get seated, but that's understandable since it looked like only one person was handling things. The hookah arrived pretty quickly. They even have a service button at each table for coal refills. Overall, the service was decent.

I had a really nice experience here, and I'd say it's a solid spot. The furniture is comfy, and the ambience is warm and inviting. I'll definitely be back tomorrow. If you're on the lookout for a great hookah lounge, I highly recommend giving this...

Came in to study for a little but it was definetly a different experience at a hookah. I went with the regular hookah but they have several other options including one with frozen base and tip as well as a variety of other items. The shisha options came in a pre mixed menu but you could also pick from individual flavors. They also have sodas, coffee (american and turkish) and smoothies. They provide each table with a service button so you don't need to get up very much which was real nice. The atmosphere was real clear and not the usual smoky building vibe that somewhat helped improve the quality of the hookah as well. Overall its a little more formal then I am used to but that is not a bad thing, the hookah burned very smooth the entire time and I think I will be coming back here soon. Worth...

My friends and I always come here and we honestly love the environment. But these days we have notice that whenever we come one of the employee tell us that the place is full even tho we see chairs that are available. We even asked for the downstairs basements told us it will be open about an hour to 30 mins. So then we said can we sit one of the chairs that are available for now and when people come will go downstairs and he said no. Mind u when he said that, it was only 7:40 pm. I feel like this guy is very racist towards black people. This is not the first weekend that happen. I think is the 4th time we got rejected. The employee’s name is Bashaar. He is so racist. It’s ridiculous that he has turn us down every weekend. I will absolutely not recommend...
