I honestly cannot give a long review seeing as how my visit was extremely quick, almost non-existent.
My friends and I came here for the Super Bowl to get some hookah. This place has soo many flavors and the fruit varieties that the hookah can come in is great. There is orange, apple, grapefruit, watermelon, etc. Then the hookah choice flavors have two columns…
Weekends and weekdays have different prices.
There is a $5 cover charge on Friday and Saturday to enter.
We did not smoke because there are NO DRINKS OR BYOB ALLOWED.
However, the atmosphere is very relaxing and intimate to just chill. I will be back to give an actual update on my second experience. However, thus far I am a fan of the place and service. He was attentive and allowed us time to think whether we wanted to stay.
Istanbul Cafe is a hidden gem in the Bronx. Excellent hookah that rivals some of the lounges on Steinway.
Like any traditional spot, there's no alcohol but only great hookah, soft drinks, tea and I beleive you can bring your own food here. Music starts off at a decent level but increases once the DJ arrives after 11pm. Service was nice and helpful.
You can expect the chill lounge vibe and good music. Only downfall is the furniture were not that comfortable, appealing and even some burns. Comes with the territory but definitely not flattering. Overall, not bad for the Bronx.
