My wife and I have been here a few times and we enjoy it! It’s always a vibe with good music. The food is also really good and fairly priced. The hookah is a little expensive but that’s DC for you lol. My only issue is that’s it always crowded with soo many men and never enough women but that’s no fault of the establishment. Us women are clearly just outnumbered 😂
