Awesome atmosphere and a great entertainment factor! Be prepared for slower service though. Hummus was great and so was the hookah . Main entrees are a little flavorless. Would recommend the gyro .

J. Everette

Lots of bad things I could say, but honestly the good food, great hookah , and awesome atmosphere outweigh all of the bad. The belly dancer is fun. And there are Beautiful ppl everywhere in there. Go!

Gary Barrett

The is a good hookah place in the outskirts of Atlanta. The service can be a bit slow, so be patient. The food is good.

Pretty busy on weekends, can get pricey with drinks. The appetizers were tasty, but there's other more quality hookah lounges in Atlanta. Good if you like to dance to music from the early 2000's.

Raghavendar Kumar

Great place for getting a taste of different cultures. And if you like hookah , this if the perfect place

Gary Barrett

A hot spot in Decatur! Good food and music . Surprisingly good!

Catherine Anderson

Great for a group of family or friends. You sit comfortably on the floor while eating yummy food and if you are lucky - spectate the belly dancer !

K Kaul

Nice ambience and of course the belly dancing . Make reservations and try the hummus , kebabs and green apple hookah .

So Glam

Love the atmosphere. The cafe fire runner and hummus with extra spices are da bomb.

John Carter

First time trying Mediterranean cuisine . Loved it! Best food! Great atmosphere. Great time!

Brooklyn Cole

Falafel isn't gluten free ; ask for veggies with hummus . Order a hookah and chai and enjoy belly dancing show .

Bill Norton Jr

There is no justifiable reason to play the music so loud when the belly dancer is out. We're already trying to be quiet and pay attention. Ouch!

Renee Key

If you go, you have to dance . It's the best Saturday night without a cover charge .

Cici

love the vibe. Good music , food and hookah

Plan to spend several hours here with hookah , live entertainment, and Turkish cuisine .

Meghana Bendre

This is more of a hang-out place than a good dinner restaurant . Appetizers are good but the kebabs totally lack flavor. Just enjoy drinks and the belly dance show , don't count on the food, though..

Matthew Krivanek

Fun place. Lots of character. Take your time and spend a couple hours there.

Kat Merto

I just wasted $20. I had Shish Kabob , it was okay. Edible. I had better back home (Philippines) from a corner food stall . I can cook better than this. What a shame. Bad service too. 👎

Dra Lubarsky

Ferne Kilcollum

Everything is good, but the Istanbul pizza is amazing!

Nicole Reardon

All about the atmosphere. The food is good, but you're paying for the experience.

Johnny Martinez

Great during the week. But avoid it on the weekends. $5 parking with no sign or warning. Sort of want Turkish food not an ultra lounge . Ew.

noneya bizzness

Apparently, licking the sweat of the bellydancer is frowned upon. WHO KNEW!?

Davin Patel

One Ryder

Dinner and Belly Dancers . Can't go wrong.

Hailey Cawley

Kayak pizza is awesome!!

JeRon Leslie

Good to chill and smoke hookah . Food was quite bland. Also valet was extremely musty and left the scent in my car.

Spencer Hughes

Meze plate and hookah .

Patrick Lester

Maybe some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant . I had a Groupon and still feel like I overpaid. Don't know that I'll give them a second chance...

Nakema Glanton

I did not like this location. The service was horrible & the food mediocre. The Kennesaw location is much better.

Keyz Arnette

Too much fun!!!!!!!!

Lauren Brown

Still waiting 4 food.Interesting entertainment...

Ty

Is there a polite word for terrible?

Reza Alavi

One of the best in the city. Top notch attention. Never wait in line because the managers actual ring groceries too. Super friendly and helpful. Variety is a plus and always well stocked. - Glenda Fields Burrus
