Used to be a great hangout. recently went back for the first time in a couple years. Was treated poorly the first time, but cause of my history there decided to give it another try. Second time was even worse. As a group of 3 we got there 7pm on a Saturday there were exactly two customers there so we asked to sit on the couches and were told they were only for groups of five or larger. Being that the place was empty we asked to sit there acknowledging that if a group or 5 or more came in we wouldn't hesitate to move.

Another group of 3 comes in and now we were asked to move for them!! All while there was an empty couch sitting next to us .Which we were informed was reserved for the owner. When asked to speak to the owner he wasn't even there. We were there about an hour and no one came around to blow out or replace our coals once. Now after being harassed about the seating in a still half empty café, we asked for the check, which conveniently has gratuity included on it. Being that we were treated so poorly we disagreed with the 21% tip that had been added and spoke with the tardy, ego-maniac owner who didn't flinch at his bogus policy. WILL NOT BE BACK HERE EVER AGAIN and would never recommend it to anyone from now on!!! Save your money! there are much better places...

Disappointing Experience at Cafe Ra, Old Bridge, NJ I recently visited Cafe Ra in Old Bridge, NJ, and unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. I ordered a grapefruit hookah packed with Love 66 and mint, expecting a smooth session, but what I got was far from that. The hookah was harsh and burnt right from the start, even after I removed one of the four coals. It felt like they either reused the grapefruit or poorly packed it, making it nearly un-smokeable. I’d rate the hookah a 2/5.

To add to the disappointment, I ordered two “fresh” lemonades with mint, but they used powdered lemonade mixed with tap water. They also blended a whole, unpeeled lime and then strained it, which resulted in a bitter, unpleasant drink. It tasted more like lime water than lemonade. Definitely not worth the price.

The overall vibe of the place wasn’t great either. It’s a small spot, and for $66, I expected much better quality. I’ve had better hookah at local clubs and bars for around $40. If you’re looking for a decent hookah session, I recommend visiting Mya Hookah Lounge in Edison, NJ, where the quality and experience are...
