Mangos Bar, Hookah & Restaurant

The Mango Cafe is absolutely amazing! I live in Cincinnati and came to Columbus to visit a good friend on a Wednesday night. We passed this hookah bar on the way to all the hot spots on the main strip and I knew we were going to have to make this place our last stop after last call. We stopped in at 3 am and were greeted enthusiastically by one of the two owners. I could not believe the service we received because in Cincy, you walk up to a counter, get number for your hookah, and eventually a runner brings you your smoke on a very impersonal level. But here, we met both of the owners within the first five minutes, who were happy to accommodate a veteran hookah smoker. The hookah itself was beautiful and the smoke, cherry and lemon, was as smooth as silk. They also offer an impressive ethnic menu for the late night customers...hummus, mixed pies, drinks...and their music playlist was right on point for the mid week social elite! You can smoke at a very comfortable table outside of the bar, or at one of their pristine set ups on the inside. They serve 18 and up customers so our "little friend" was no problem at all! In less than 10 minutes after placing our smoke order, the second owner came out to stir and replace our still burning coals to ensure an even smoking experience, and personally spoke to us about our experience and how, if at all possible, they could make it better. My friend and I simply smiled and assured them that here in Columbus, their hookah bar was doing everything right. I wish that they would open a hookah bar in Cincinnati, because that city really needs to find a better way to welcome and appreciate their smokers. The price, atmosphere, service, and smoke are more than I have ever experienced at ANY smoke establishment in my life, and believe me when I tell you, I am a serious hookah smoker. I will ALWAYS make Mango's Cafe my final destination when partying in Columbus, Ohio...and so should you!
