This is a brand new hookah lounge that also serves Lebanese food. They are open from 11 AM to 3 AM Mon-Sat and 5 PM to 3 AM on Sunday and they serve food the whole time. Their prices are VERY reasonable. Sometimes they have a belly dancer as well. They have hookahs for $7 and you can share one with 2-3 people (3 different hoses). He also sells hookahs there if you are interested. He has wireless internet for students to study or if you have business to do. It's a relaxed atmosphere and he will accommodate for anything. Their food is authentic and delicious (some of the best in the Bay area)!

Some details:
36 flavors for the Hookah
They have a full menu with dips like hummus, salads like tabbouleh, appetizers like falafel & shish kabob, pita wraps like shawarma and many more options!

how good is the food? Ive never had lebanese food before either

[Regina]

As I said in the article, it's some of the best authentic Lebanese food in the area. Everything is really fresh!

+1 Defanitly an awesome place ! Owner is a real cool dude too. I have been a few times with David and joseph. The Food is also awesome ! It's only about 5 mins from alladins but is defanitly worth the drive. It's Way cleaner and 5x's better service then Alladins !!!

[Jowdamm89]

Also they have Starrbuzz sheshhaaa ! You dont find that often around here

Just got back. The main guy there thought I was Arabic. I do have some Arabic lineage. It was the first thing he asked. Later he invited us to a sermen for next week. If I can make it I'd like to go.

We had the Starrbuzz mix and that was a good smoke.

The menu is mostly a la carte. So we ate a bunch of food. If you want to go eat something you've never had before, this is the place to go. Completely different from any food I've had. Not sure if I'm spelling it right, but the Manekah wrap is awesome. I also like the grape leaf rolls and the hummus. We were even offered a few plates to try out. It all taste amazing in a strange way, mmmm

I love coffee. The Lebanese coffee has to be the best coffee I've had. This coffee is completely different form any bean you've drank. Full body, smooth with a bite of that distinct Lebanese spice to it. And it's made right. There's a thin layer of coffee bean powder at the bottom of your cup. Just about served it straight from a rakweh.

Great hospitality. They were treating us like family. It makes me not want to go to any other restaurants cause the service doesn't compare to the guys at 5 Star Hookah Lounge. I'll be back.

Tony (the owner) told me someone I knew came by. Thanks Mike! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I would go there several times a week if I could. I wish I had the time. Not many people like the Arabic coffee because it is so strong. It's pretty much just like Turkish coffee, I believe. Good stuff.

[buck19]

I told my friend that you're one of a few people I listen to on where to go for good stuff.

I haven't had any Turkish style coffee so that was a first. I've made unfiltered coffee with about 1 cup of grounds for 4 mugs :dunno:

But the coffee was just right. It was everything I was expecting plus some. One of my classmates is from Albania and she too was surprised I liked it as much as I do. I wouldn't say it was "strong," it just tastes a whole heck of a lot different. Like coffee should be IMO.

I have a friend that wants to go up there. She's a coffee fiend like I and loves all food. Might be stopping by again this weekend or next. Not sure on what the plans are just yet. We are trying to get some kayaking in on the 5th. So we'll see. Maybe we can get a few more people to go an get a hookah or two going.

[Regina]

Let me know if you want company. We are always up for a relaxing time.

[pimpjames]

I usually have hookah parties when I BBQ out. If you guys are interested in a nice place to get all set up check out www.hookahub.com

[Mullins2]

Hopefully the wife I and will be hitting this place up this weekend. Can’t wait to try it for ourselves after all the good things I’ve read. It will be a first for the both of us.

I have been looking for a local hookah lounge that also sells hookahs and the tobacco but have yet to find really any that spark my interests. Does this place have good hookahs for sale? I am talking about the good ones such as Khalil Mamoon and other top of the line brands. I don't feel like ordering a hookah off the internet, so I want to purchase one locally. Does this place have a good inventory?

[Jowdamm89]

They have the basic hookahs nothing special

[georgeisabamf]

They have the basic hookahs nothing special

So they don't have any KMs or MZs or Mya? That's not good. Does anyone know anywhere in Tampa that I could find good quality hookahs such as those? I've been interested in checking out Aladdin's because it is right near my house, but unfortunately I hear they have nothing but crappy hookahs as well.

[Regina]

You should go in and check it out regardless. I know the tobacco he uses is really good. I do not know much about hookahs/nargilis in general, but he has some nice ones behind the counter (I doubt he would put the nice ones on top).

I saw some postings about the hookah lounge... sounds great. Do they serve alcohol?? Do they have T.V.'s. Is there live music or a belly dancer on Saturday nights?
