"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."

The prices are ridiculous; they nearly charge you double when taxes are included.

Some of the juiciest chicken grilled to perfection. The hummus and muhammara are great starters.

Seated right away, super cute space and affordable. The wait staff was attentive and the food was delicious! We brought our own drinks and they were very accommodating, providing cups and ice immediately along with an ice bucket for the bottles.

I was expecting more from this place to be honest. The food was really good for the taste and authenticity, but the dishes were kind of sloppy and the presentation wasn’t very appealing. Also you can’t even breathe on a weekend night because of the shisha smoke everywhere. Should be called a Hookah Cafe not a restaurant though. Staff was friendly, but one of our orders was very late, and it was supposed to be an appetizer at the beginning and it came out burnt at the end of the meal so that was disappointing.

"Update 11/19/22: So far I’ve had the Dolma 3 times and sadly I won’t ever be ordering it again. First time, I really enjoyed it. It was nice and tangy and had good flavor. Second time, it was definitely a different recipe, and did not taste as good as the first time but it was edible. This most recent order was again a different recipe, did not have the same flavor as the first two times, was a lot more spicy and had some other spices in it that weren’t in jt before and the dealbreaker for us was that all of our stuffed onions were so burnt that we could not eat them and threw them out. They were burnt through to the middle, not just the outside. The grape leaves were all mushy and just hard to eat, there were no peppers, and they gave us such a small portion for $14.99. This time there was bread which I appreciated, however, the bread was raw around the edges and so we just ended up throwing that out as well. Why are you serving burnt dolma? If you see that it’s burnt, you don’t serve it! If you want returning customers you don’t cheat people out of their money. We ordered Dolma for takeout. And the mint yogurt drink. The dolma is very good and nice and tangy as Iraqi Dolma should be. I don’t like that they placed the dolma on a bed of shredded lettuce. I don’t get that. No one wants to eat soggy lettuce. Would have been better with bread underneath or just plain with nothing. Also it’s a total waste of lettuce because no one eats it. The yogurt drink was also good but unfortunately it was warm. Would have liked it better if it was ice cold. That being said, I’m happy about there being an Iraqi restaurant in the neighborhood and I look forward to going there to try out more delicious Iraqi food."
