    The service is wonderful here. I enjoyed the hookah and strawberry margaritas. I'm looking forward to the food. Great experience.

    I've been a fan of the original CI and glad to have one local. Just wish it was smoke/hooka free. Smoking is the #1 preventable death & 2nd hand smoke kills the nonsmoker's. I know I've buried one.

    Service from Lesley was fantastic, food was simply incredible, a special thank you to Mustafa for accommodating for food allergies and especially for the warm welcome to my new favorite restaurant.

    Hookah is 15 dollars, 5 dollars for refills, & 4 dollars for new coals which i think is ridiculous. You also have to spend 10 bucks on food or drinks or they won wont let you have hookah. Fun tho.

    Try the chicken pizza. It's a little expensive but it is fresh and you get a lot of it!

    Shay is great! Such an accommodating waiter. If you get him, you're in luck.

    place has the cheapest quality hookahs around, much rather go to Oasis down the street and enjoy their $5 dollar hookah.

    Saturday night: mixed crowd, belly dancer, ratchet hip-hop (horrible mixing by DJ), bachata, old r&b, wild.

    Real hookah smokers beware. While the atmosphere is nice and the drinks are cool, the hookah is truly mediocre at best. They don't even have correct cap sizes for hookah pipes. Not impressed.
