Abunawas Cafe & Hookah Bar — Restaurant in Fairfax

When you first walk in you would feel what seems to be a nice hookah bar, but don't be fooled. Its nothing but trashy, as for the service is below acceptable. The servers have only an attitude to give you rather than even a "Hello" or "Welcome to..." Even their hookahs give you a bad taste in your mouth, not to mention that it took 26 MINUTES just to get said hookah. My favourite part was the people, that's where the fun begins. Most of all the patrions are either under age or almost old enough to drink, can you guess where this is going? Nothing but drunk teens causing issues and being abnoctouse. I'v been to hookah bars serving liquor and their atmospher is that of a club, fitting. To be honest I'm surprised they even have customers, but when you incorage underage drinking it makes sence. I definetly recommend not going, for one day you may get caught up when the cops are called. Definetly not a great place to relax...

A good friend of mine went to this hookah bar last night; he was with a few friends and no one from his party was causing a disturbance. After some time, either the manager or the owner told them (we're unsure which) that since he was gay, their only choices were to either buy drinks or leave, specifically citing his sexuality as the reason for his confrontation. My friend was not planning on buying drinks for the night, so the fact that this was one of the only two choices offered to him in order to stay is unacceptable. As stated before, his only other choice was to leave the bar, with or without his friends. The fact that he was discriminated against specifically because of his sexuality is sickening. I, along with many others, have heard of this incident and plan on NEVER returning, and will be discouraging others from going or become frequent...

Awesome hookah place! Nicest workers you will ever meet. Me and my girlfriend have been going here for years. And the mangers and employees have treated us like family. No outrageous service charges or weird charges like other hookah place. Great place to chill and relax from a long work day. Very simple and chill. You can control the music and they don't serve alcohol so no need to worry about annoying sloppy drunk people. We've tried other hookah places and all we're disappointing compared to Abu Nawas. Again nice people and good hookah. What else would you want! Keep up...
