Absolutely beautiful establishment!!! Everything from the service to the decor was amazing!!!! I loved how its was a lot of people but it didn’t seemed overcrowded. The DJ arrived at 930ish and the music was rolling!!!! The food was a 4 out of 10 It was bland no seasoning. A new chef would take this place over the top. The drinks were on point and the hookah was probably the best hookah I’ve had in Philly 10 out of 10. The staff were welcoming and provided a great experience. I will definitely be back to this establishment. Overall 8 out of 10

Great spot and good food. My only complaint is that they automatically add a 20% gratuity. I usually tip that or more but the tip should be based on the service experience, not a predetermined amount.
