Wish I could love this place but my first time wasn’t really enjoyable. Music was blasting through a blown speaker I could hardly speak to anyone. Only had water to order. The hookah burnt as soon as I hit it. They used the instant charcoal which I only tasted and I could see that the tobacco was stuffed to the top. $30 to smoke a burnt head. I wanted to love it because the server was nice and apologized for a slow night and they actually use al fakhar. I really just wanted some tea and hookah. I’ll try again maybe some other time if they would change the way they make their hookahs (coconut charcoal maybe?).

We had a ball, way from Baltimore to dc. Owner was cool as hell, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, no drama

$25 hookah, in DC is a steal! The service was great here, we were greeted immediately and you could see their goal is to ensure customer satisfaction. I really liked that there were tons of options to choose from for flavors. Definitely stopping by here again when I'm back in ADMO.

Good Hookah.. I mean that's what you expect when going to a hookah spot right.. the flavor was kicking, last for pretty long which was a plus for me and my friends. Server was able to change the coals out without us asking him to. The music selection was great and had us enjoying the atmosphere even more. The neon lights are a lot but it's setting the vibe.

Great hookah and wonderful hospitality

Service was terrible. My friend and I stopped by yesterday and we weren’t even greeted, even though it was only one other table there. We left after 10 minutes.

No service. Hookah is bitter and they haven’t drinks. Only water and some bad coffee

Queen's Café is so much fun - I love the ambiance and music! It's a great late night place for music and hookah. I go there often with friends, and the staff is extremely accommodating. Best packed hookah's in D.C, in my opinion!

I come to this spot regularly with my friends, and we love it. One of my girls had a birthday here, and she had a really great time.So, this place has been nothing but kind to me. Nadi is super sweet and kind, and even offered me a job when I told him he was struggling! He’s very caring and considerate to your needs as an owner, and really tries his best to satisfy, which is nothing but thumbs up for me.The music is very hip-hop trap, which is my vibe when it comes to smoking, and I think what I like the most about it is that there’s always people there. Most bars I go to are sparse or overcharge for every little thing, which I really don’t like since I have my a large set myself and consider myself a seasoned when it comes to hookah and regenerating a vibe.When it gets colder, that’s where I’m gonna be, so nothing but good vibes and good people here.
We only had shisha no food or drinks. The service was good and the shisha (hookah) was ok there were traditional flavours to choose from, but if you’re looking for new flavours and mixes you might be disappointed. The place is a bit spent and worn in terms of decor etc, so it you’re looking for a boujie stylish modern place this is not it.

Worst Hookah ever! Lasted 15 min then taste was burnt. Do not recommend it. The place smelled damp

After the nail shop the girls treated me to my first Hookah. I have to say it was a nice and relaxing and experience.

I came from out of state with a girl friend and based on the reviews we thought this would be a decent spot to go and hang out. They never requested ID, then tried to sit myself and my friend (two woman alone) next to some older man sitting alone who we did not know. We requested different seating and were sat right across from mystery man. Upon being seated we were handed a menu and asked what we would be having immediately. Unsure of what flavor for hookah my girl ordered a hot tea and asked for a minute to discuss what flavor we’d like, to which the man insisted we could pick 2 flavors and stood there and stared at us until we blurted out a basic combo because we were rushed. He came back with the hookah a minute later and said they had no tea. so about 15-30 minutes into smoking the hookah, me and my girl are literally starting to fall asleep on each other which was weird because we’ve smoked hookah plenty of times and had nothing to drink that night. We ask for the bill and told him we were tired and going to leave and he got mad at us. my girl tipped him 100% and still was dismissed with a harsh goodbye. As soon as we left, we started being followed by another random man from the hookah bar two blocks down. my friend and I still were almost falling asleep, the 2 minute walk to the car seemed like hours because of how disoriented we were. We couldn’t even smoke a blunt cuz we already felt so intoxicated and tired but like I said we hadn’t even drank that night. my girl woke up throwing up violently and I woke up with a pounding headache. I’m pretty confident in saying that we were drugged here and would’ve very likely become some type of sexual violence victim had we not left when we did
