Hookah Lounge — Restaurant in Glendale

The atmosphere is nice here, with multiple heaters in the outdoor patio section, and limited seating indoors. Food and alcohol (and non-alcoholic beverages) are available and I tried some domestic draft (which was served in a pitcher, always a plus) and also had fries and tried the pesto mozzarella sandwich which was delicious.

The service was pretty good, considering our waitress had dozens of tables to herself, and the speed in which the hookah and food came out was very fast.

The hookahs were Khalil Mamoon, an industry standard, and were clean and well maintained, though my ashtray did have wet ash, which is annoying for setting spare coals, though it does prove that it was cleaned.

The only negatives is that it's a bit pricey if you're drinking (to be expected) and that parking can prove difficult, as the adjacent lot is questionable since it's not owned by the lounge, so I recommend parking in the neighborhood. There is also only one single stall restroom for men, which is unfortunate.

Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a relaxed place to enjoy hookah with a drink, and the food is...

Rightfully biased opinion: This place had bad service tonight with attitude from the server. First, the parking lot is a 12-car lot only meaning you'll have to test your luck on the street. This is hard because the lounge is by a neighborhood. We called the server but she was rude about what we should do. Then the same server was rude when we finally came inside. She seemed annoyed to check our IDs and then seat us in the back. She then left and didn't check back in the short time we left. What truly made us leave is the mostly American menu. I understand trying to appeal to those who live here, but I enjoy traditional food over burgers and quesadillas. Plus tonight in particular was the World Series so there was no music or something more to appeal to the young going out crowd. I hope to come in the future to try their food and hookah but this is not ideal place to go out...

This is my first time in this situation and I am shocked. They demand money just for sitting there for 5 minutes and just for ordering tea. In this case, tea is not 5 dollars, but almost 30 dollars. These rules are not stated anywhere. By the way, I did not mind ordering something else, but the electronic menu did not work, and they never brought me the usual one. Then they brought a check for 30 dollars and said that it was for just sitting. I was there for exactly 10 minutes. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I had to explain this topic, and although they canceled overcharged, the mood was still terrible after the squabble in front of the whole room. When I asked to see the rules on this matter, I was told that this is the case everywhere in California. I was in Los Angeles and did not see this. We do not have...
