Came here with a friend one night b/c we wanted to try the oh so popular hookah in Astoria. Steinway is the place to be if you want hookah. We ended up coming here due to the yelp reviews. I would have to say the atmosphere was chill, modern, and service was quick and easy. We also got the turkish coffee which was just ok. I would def. come back here for hookah if i was in the area.
I had a lovely experience at this establishment. My boyfriend and I decided to stop by after reading wonderful Yelp reviews.
The staff is very attentive and come around frequently to make sure you are satisfied with your service and coals. We had the 'jasmin mix' hookah which was very pleasant and smooth. I ordered a red tea which had fresh mint leaves in it (absolutely delightful).
The music and ambiance was fun and fresh. They played a variety of different genres; a little bit of something for everyone to jam to. I also noticed how friendly the staff was with all the clients that came in which shows that they appreciate their customers.
I'm not trying to throw shade on Jasmin, especially since it's clear that it is a local sheesha spot.
However, I am disappointed in my fellow Yelpers because this is NOT the greatest sheesha… it's an every day run o' the mill type of spot. The sheesha is fine, but in no way packed with flavor and smooth. My throat ached after about 20 minutes.
We asked the server for his rec for the best sheesha. He brought out a flavor that he said was not on the menu but was "the best" and we had it served in a pineapple. It was just o.k.
It does not even hold a candle to the "Horus Special" at Horus Cafe on A in Alphabet City – that is the supreme sheesha in NYC – still. to. this. day.
Decided to stop by here at around 12:30 in the afternoon since most of the other lounges were closed, and I'm so glad I did!
We tried the blue mist flavor ($14 + $1tax) which tasted wonderful, had a great pull, and lasted us a really long time without getting harsh. The servers are so nice and attentive, they kept checking up on us and made sure our coals were fine. The music and ambiance at this lounge is very middle eastern, and it was refreshing for a change. And a great plus is that you can bring food from outside!
Definitely see myself coming back!
I had a lovely time here. Came by on NYE's eve. haha
It was nice. Very chill. Many people come here by themselves to literally just chill.
The server was a sweetheart and came by several times to check if everything was alright and if we needed anything. He seemed really happy with his job. He was incredibly nice.
We had the mint, then watermelon. The mint was good, not the most flavourful, but pretty smooth and it lasted for a while. I think the watermelon one was kind of harsh, but it tasted like a jolly rancher. The prices are great. Regular flavors are $9.
The seats were comfortable and the restrooms were clean. Very good for groups and lingering there for hours. You can bring your own food which I thought was generous, but we ordered baklava in the house and it was actually not bad for the price ($3).
Nothing to complain about. I think I'd come back if I'm in the area. The service was excellent.
I came here last night with 6 of my friends looking to unwind and get some hookah and juice. Jasmin's is known for it's very reasonably priced menu, and overall quality. As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by the owner, a very nice and polite gentleman. We asked to sit in the back (outdoor area) and were kindly escorted to our table. We each ordered our own hookah, and a mango juice, which was made fresh by the way. I could still taste the pulp and instantly knew it wasn't from concentrate. I ordered a shawarma and french fries as well, and was crossing my fingers that it would be good. My hookah came out first (Grape Mint) and the coals were absolutely perfect. It pulled very nice, even, and smooth. Every pull was nice and clean, and the pipe and inner workings were very clear. There are places that never bother to even clean their sheeshas, not Jasmin.
After about 10 minutes my shawarma came out. I made the right decision. It was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and was super authentic. There's a bunch of interpretations of shawarmas in New York, the majority of which suck. I really can't stress how annoying it is when you order a shawarma and they bring you out a gyro. This wasn't the issue here. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was great; I will definitely be back soon!
Authentic and affordable. It's been a long time since I went somewhere and found hookahs for $10 & under.
It's nice to be in a setting where everything is just chill. The wait staff collectively do a great job of looking after the customers. A guy comes around every few minutes to replace the coals. The seating arrangements are nice, good for groups. Overall, this is what I would have in mind if I wanted to get a good smoke session in – a nice cup of coffee or tea in hand, maybe a little bite to eat, and some good hookah. You won't be breaking the bank here, but you'll be getting a great experience!
This place is really excellent. It has a nice vibe, and their fresh fruit hookahs are some of the best in the neighborhood. I really like the pineapple fresh fruit with mint. The staff is nice and very attentive. There's loud music playing in the background and TVs all over. It's a great place to relax and chill with some friends.
