"TLDR: hookah is good. Iced tea and lemonade is great. Service is so-so. First time we went was perfect. second time we went, we were told there was a minimum spend despite the outdoor area being half full. My party of 4 arrived on Sunday evening around 7:30. We observed that there was plenty of seating because I estimated the outdoor area was only at 50% capacity. With that being said, when we approached the person to seat us, they told us we had to have a food and drink minimum spend of $25 per person. I thought that was weird because the Sunday prior, my husband and I was at Kamils for only hookah without any problems. We had a great time last Sunday which is why we brought another couple this time around. After a little discussion with another staff member, we were let in despite the minimum spend. To management, because of this minimum spend, we almost left because we had already eaten and simply wanted to smoke and order drinks. We felt unwelcomed because we didn't meet this spend requirement. yet the place was barely half full so it would have been better to just let us in without telling people about this minimum spend. Business is business at the end of the day and we wanted to give you our business because we had such a great first experience. Last Sunday, I saw that it was a BYOB establishment and saw another table who had brought card games to enjoy while they smoked. Today, I brought uno cards and a deck of solitaire cards. We were told by staff to put it away. I would like to relay to management that this policy is a bit silly since we are there to enjoy the hookah and not causing any rukus. If you allowed or provided small table games, your place would be THE spot and I would have recommended going to all my family and friends to enjoy your space, food and hookah. Many other hookah lounges allow this."
