They play awesome music! 90’s & 2000’s r&b. Went on a Friday night with a coworker. Its too loud to have a conversation we didn’t realize. The hookah is ok. The food is average. This is a good spot to go if you’re looking to turn up. It’s byob.

Very friendly people, charcoal never stopped even without asking the man to change it. Food was good. Quick service.
