Aziza Cafe & Lounge

Awesome spot! Loungesque, just what I think of when I hear hookah lounge. The owner was very warm and hospitable, he even encouraged us to try something new, the Turkish Coffee which in turn was excellent. Cool music and atmosphere.

This place is amazing! I went last night, after looking at the other hookah bars around, and I’m so glad we chose Aziza. It’s a little nook in the wall but it’s a really chill atmosphere with good music. It has a nice set up. You can sit in there for as long as you want. The drinks are pretty good as well. Ronnie is so nice and attentive!

Cute little hookah lounge! It’s literally a hole in the wall. They have great music, a chill crowd and I did see a food menu. Be prepared to get social you will be rubbing elbows with people.

The place looked like someone’s living room with one long couch that had no separations, aka 0 privacy. No matter how soft others talked, you still heard other people’s conversations because the room is so small. We sat down, but walked out within minutes.

Okay this is long and winded but A MUST READ IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING HERE.
On New Years, my friend and I wanted to get some shisha. We had called ahead earlier (1:30 am) and asked if they would be open. Ronnie, who answered the phone, said they would and asked us our flavor, lemon mint, and said it will be ready for us when we get there at 2am.
We were in the Tribeca area and could not hail a taxi. By he time we hailed a taxi, our phones were dead and we couldn’t pull the address of the place. We told our taxi driver where it was. Long story short. He said he knew the place we were going, and took us to a COMPLETELY different hookah lounge that had a 30 fee at the door. We have up and went bar hopping instead.
It was around 3am when we turned a corner and saw this place, the place we wanted to go to! We walked right up to the place and Ronnie was standing outside and even asked if we were the girls who called earlier. He then led us inside and sat us down at the hookah that was already made and water mixed with lemon and mint. We were already blown away he kept the hookah and a spot for us reserved for a whole hour.
Ronnie is the best part about this place. The shisha itself never got harsh and the service is the fastest I’ve ever had at a shisha lounge.
We ended up going back the next day where Ronnie continued to treat my friend and I like queens.
Ronnie, you rock.

This hookah spot is great if you just want a quiet time with you and someone else because IT IS A SMALL VENUE.
There’s no food, just drinks.
I’m not kidding, it’s really small circle BUT THE AMBIENCE IS GREAT IF YOU JUST WANT TO CHILL PRIVATELY WITH SOMEONE and not a crowd.
Also, the only TV they had came in handy for a conversation piece.

Hookah is not good, they use cheap coal, after 15 min of smoking you feel chemical tasty of hookah. The host of the bar all time spoke Arabian and wasn’t kindness. We went there only of good rating of Unilocal.Visit other hookah bars.

Nice and cozy place, good music and hookah. I definitely recommend this hookah lounge

Nice ambiance! Very cozy and intimate. Staff was very helpful and nice. Very good experience.

We found this place on Unilocal and wanted to give it a try before dinner. Overall the prices were fair and the hookah was decent. The food was tasty. We ordered spicy hummus and chicken wings and I would recommend them both. If you want to enjoy an evening with great music, some hookah, and an intimate atmosphere with friends this is a good place to check out!

Came here after going to a show at the UCB Theater East. Its a really small place when you walk past it, but it is very cozy on the inside. The hookah was great as well! We got a mango flavored one and it had great flavor, was very smooth and hit great for like 2 hours. The guy running the place was very nice and came over to tend to our coals a few times. They also had some great music playing while we were there. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a chill place to smoke some hookah with a few friends.

Best place ever. nice hookah and fresh and very attentive. The guy gave us Halloween chocolate.

The moment I sat down I start feeling terrible itch on my legs, and guess what, when I got home I realize I got a whole leg of bug bites and even on the arm that was laying on their cushions.
I don’t care of the price or the flavor if I’ll go home with bites all over the place! Never again!

Hookah is okay, a little light and not much flavor.
Hookah was fairly priced.
Nice décor, adding to the chill ambiance of the place. Music was good, not too loud and loved the artists.
Ronnie is amazingly accommodating and nice! Worth coming back for the service and the atmosphere.

Right after dinner, we saw this hookah bar conveniently along the way and decided to hop in. It’s a small space so don’t expect to bring 8 heads deep and get a seat.
The owner isn’t really rude; he’s actually a really nice guy. The fact is, if you come with 8+ people it’s going to be hard to sit you and yes, he will unfortunately have to turn you away.
I have no idea what hookah prices are on average but I paid 17.95 for a mix of mint and pineapple. Apple is a basic flavor so it’s $ 14.95.
The space is nice with Persian cushions and tables. It’s dark as hell and it looks like a brothel from Eastern Europe. Especially when you see the faces of some hookah smokers.
But his place has great music and a nice chill spot.

Love this hookah lounge more than anything
It’s quiet and small so you can still talk, the hookah is great and the music is lovely :)

I «TRIED» to go here with some friends. 8 to be precise. And the reviews said all good things about the place. Upon arrival, the service was «HORRENDOUS». The server literally shooed us off by telling us 8 people, there is another party coming.
Might I had the place was dingy, almost to the point of being murky. And it wasn’t crowded!!! Exactly two other people at the lounge. How does he expect me to believe that there is another party of 20 coming because of which he can’t give us any space in the room.
I even tried to negotiate with him, by asking for two seperate tables instead of 1 big table. But it was a strict NO.
And I mean when I say, HE SHOOED US OUT.
I felt insulted and extremely hurt, I do think that he racially profiled us as we were all Indians.
NEVER VISIT IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AN INDIAN

Food: Not good
Service: Very good
Ambience: Good
Calling this a café is joke they have a really limited menu of appetizers and they are of a store bought microwave variety.
Having said the overall experience was not bad. The gentleman serving us was very polite and attentive and the hookah was not bad either.
This is a small place with benched and plush ottomans to sit on. When I went there there were 4 groups of 2 people sitting having hookahs and chatting.
I will say this is a decent place to have hookah and some drinks while you catch up with someone.

The best place around. Friendly and cosy I recommend for a visit. U can spend hours
Also the background music is awesome

Nice cute little hookah spot with good music and great service. They offer a variety of different hookah flavors that will fit everybodys tast.
Definitly a place you should check out if you are in the area.
