It’s my very first time to this place on a Friday night… No more than 3 tables were taken, it took more than a couple of minutes to talk to someone to get a table.
First the waitress comes to take the drink order, she did not know what drinks they had at the bar. We were told that they don’t serve glass of water, we just have to buy bottled water.
Got my appetizer and waited for 5 minutes to get my silverware. my friend asked for vegetation options, the waitress responded by telling him to look at the menu and figure it out.
The waitress (Lucy) was mean and food was mediocre at best. I could go on about reasons why I am not going back here again… but enough said, 1 star is as high as I could rate my experience !

Shitty service, servers don’t know what they’re doing and the hookah didn’t taste at all like what we had ordered. overall disappointed. thus place used to be cool but they definitely need to step their game up cuz it didn’t measure in any way, shape, or form… I came home on leave just to wish I had brought my hookah from home cuz i do a better job than they do.

Do not eat here. Food is definitely old, stale. I have ordered different items to give this place a chance to redeem itself but still would not recommend. Food poisoning is definitely a concern to have when eating here.

Never again and I’d like the rest of my change back please. Bad service, bad food and so disgustingly dirty that they have to keep the place dim and terribly lit so you can’t see the filth. Also, I realize this is a hookah bar but didn’t realize that people could just smoke cigarettes anytime they wanted. We had to ask for the table to be wiped because leftover filth from previous patrons were crusted on. Also, the waitress was unattentive and included gratuity for 2 meals in our check. To top that off, she kept about .75 of the change due back to me. I would’ve stayed and asked but I desperately wanted to escape before the crusty cushions swallowed me up. Ugh. Don’t understand how they pass health codes.

Actually about 5 stars for the hookah!
2 for the customer service. I tip my waitress’s well so I can invest in good hookah service in the future. Drinks are sooooooo limited. And soooooooo expensive. You could pay 6,7,8, or 9 bucks for the same shady shot of any given liquor in the same night! Prices are unpredictable! But I return for the hookah… The owner is very nice and friendly to customers. The chubby boy that sometimes sits in the front for the cover charge is annoying. Just bc I come in as a couple doesn’t mean I want a table… Part of my enjoyment in smoking hookah is siting at a booth and chillin’! Her I don’t even mind if you sit another couple by me!
Food— ummm no desire to try it…, just doesn’t seem clean.

Dude this place is wacky. I go in here for some quick spinach feta pie grab or what have you every now and again, and there is absolutely no consistency with the food at all! The meat pies are made differently every week it seems, and sometimes the spinach-​feta pies actually have feta, and other times they have whatever cheese they use for the pizza!
But because everything is usually at least a couple notches above simply edible, it’s like playing the lottery. Kind of fun. Sure, sometimes you get the rice pudding to find out it tastes like vinegar, and sometimes you win big and find out that this week they have these rad fried zucchini patties for a dollar each! Or homemade donuts that kind of blow but are sprinkled with those little multicolored fennel candies in place of sprinkles! It’s totally unpredictable.
I kind of want to knock off a star for the old man that’s sometimes at the counter who would be outrun by a snail to the microwave and back, and then takes 90 seconds to separate a stuck plastic bag from the stack for you… but he looks like the guy that’s probably seen a lot of action and bombed out buildings back home his whole life so it’s cool he can take his time.
EDIT: P. S. on the side of the building it has three lit up signs: GYRO KING, SHAWARMA KING, FALAFEL KING. I get high aspirations and everything, but come on! You cannot be king of all three, kan zaman!

In my opinion they have some of the best Hookah around, strong and flavorful. I have not tried the food yet but will update my review when I do.

Are you really drunk and looking for food at the end of the night? If yes, this is probably a great spot for you. If not, I don’t think I would bother. In the past, this place took care of my drunk hunger at the end of the night. It seemed so wonderful back then. Now that I don’t really drink to excess, I just can’t dig it. I will say that I’m impressed at how they manager to patiently deal with drunk folk ordering take-​out food. But this is one of those spots I can only find awesome after a night of really tearing up my liver functions.

The food was good and the waiter was super nice and the entrainment area wasnt 5star but ok

My review is only for drinks and nightlife. The venue has a lot of sitting where you can relax and enjoy music and drinks. The problem is that there is not much to enjoy about the drinks and the pricing changes randomly. It was very overpriced. They serve you in a very low quality 6 oz plastic cup and charge you $ 10 for well vodka. They were serving in big crystal glasses and then switched and still charged the same for half the volume. Looking at other reviews, it looks like this is how this place treat there clients, with no interest on making sure you go back.
I am going to try to avoid going back and will not give the food a try.

Been here twice, first time was for the lunch buffet, they have hummus, pitas, honey cake, salad, rice pilaf with almond slivers and lamb, plus maybe a few more things. Was a good deal.
Second time was to try the hookah, the first time the hookah was ok, then something went wrong and couldn’t smoke it, the pellet was not burning right. They sent another hookah for us, but the pipe was not working, might have had a tear. We got good service then a full refund so it was worth a try, good service, so we had appetizers instead.
Would like to come back for the lunch buffet again~ :)

I was staying a night in Cleveland and was looking for some halal food and I found this place in town «Middle Eastern style restaurant «. So when I left to check out the downtown… which was dark and dead after 7ish I believe! I started looking for this place and vola found it.
My first impression was it was quite big as the area was big and they had parking. As I went in, there were 2 sections one for take-​out and the other area was a shisha lounge. We couldn’t sit there as I had family & kids due to smoke from shisha inside the lounge area. Then we did take out.
The service was fast and didn’t take long for them to get the food ready and it was fresh and hot. We ordered a bunch shawarama wraps and plates with a zatar pizza which was huge and we were expecting bread with zatar spread but it was an actual pizza. You might ask what zatar is? Well it’s a a blend of herbs, sesame and salt. The food was packed nicely and stayed warm till the hotel. The meat was cooked properly and tasted good as well zatar pizza.
All in all the food was good and it wasn’t heavy on the pocket either.

Yep. FIVE WHOLE STARS!!! let me FIVE reasons why this establishment rates this high.
1. belly dancers were legit!
2. DJ/​MC rapper was on point… Laced with infectious hip hop, reggae and pop feel. I don’t speak Arabic but the music was live.
3. Atmosphere was very chill and comfortable. People were polite and non bothersome. Love the fact that it appeared to me that every patron was in their own little bubble.
4. They stay open until 3 am. Yah!
5. Prices are reasonable
I/​We shall be back. Thanks Kab Zaman!

I tried this restaurant three times just to be fair and give them the benefit of the doubt. The first time I went there for lunch by myself. The service was okay, but the food wasn’t that great. You can tell it was leftover from previous days.
I went back for lunch a week later but accompanied by a co-​worker. Again, you can tell that the food wasn’t fresh and they ran out of baked chicken. I asked the waitress and she said they are cooking some in the kitchen. We waited for about 10 minutes, and still no chicken. The waitress start complaining about the kitchen staff and how because of them she is not making any tips, even thought a gratuity is automatically added to the bill. So, we just got up and left.
Last night, I went back with friends and the food wasn’t any better. No free refills !!!‘
I will not go back to this place at all !!!

Ordered the Vegetarian Plate… It was very good. The couple who oversee the place were very nice. My food was prepared very quickly as I ordered and waited for my food. I was in and out in about 5 min. This is a must try for Ohio City natives in the mood for middle eastern food. Open late.

I will never do business with this place again.
I was there tonight with my tango class. I ordered at the front counter with an older man. As he took my order I noticed he put a higher price on one of my items. I questioned him and let him know what the price stated on the menu. He made up a story that that price was only if you buy 6 of them (it doesn’t say that on the menu). He said, «I will give it to you for the price on the menu any ways». I ate and asked for my bill from my waitress. She said, «the total is such and such price». I questioned her because it seemed much higher than the calculations I did in my head. I asked, «how much was the soup»? She said, «I don’t know, I think 4.50». The menu says 2.50. I gave her my money and she gave me change. I requested the receipt that she threw away. She over charged me for the same item as the man did up front but even more and she added gratuity. She didn’t want me to see my bill because she thought she’d get more gratuity. (I worked in South Beach, I know this trick).
I confronted her about the price difference and she said, «It’s not that much of a difference and gave me the money that she owed me». Lousy way of doing business. I’ll never be back to eat or drink and I definitely will not recommend this place to anyone.

This experience was our 2^nd time at kan zaman. We were giving it another try, hoping the 1^st bad experience was a fluke. Um… not so much.
1. The hummus order comes with the pita in little sandwich baggies as if your mom packed it in your lunchbox. No plates, just baggies.
My husband had to leave the table three times during our meal:
2. First, we had no silverware for 15 min after our food (or my food anyway, see #5) came. He found someone halfway into the kitchen who gave him a couple of plastic forks and send him back to the table with them. (No napkins, no apology.)
3. Next my husband had to get us napkins. With no waitstaff in sight and no napkins at the table, he had to get paper towels from the bathroom for us to wipe off our hands.
4. The last time he had to leave the table was to find someone to adjust our bill (see #6) and take our money. We literally could have left without paying — we were deserted. I should mention that there was another table occupied, across the restaurant. Their waiter was attending to them while we were stranded, but we couldn’t flag her down at all.
5. My husband’s sandwich never came. We were too aggravated to reorder it. One less entrée for their profits. Whoops.
6. They charged us for hookah even though WE NEVER ORDERED OR RECEIVED HOOKAH. This tripled our bill. Any server who looked over her bill would have caught this error.
PS: There’s really cheesy music videos playing in another language, and it is loud.

You can still smoke hookah inside? Hell Yes.
This was fun. I didn’t eat, but joined a group later on for some cheap Lebanese beer, hookah, and watching some sexy tango. Ooh la la!
Friendly service here, we were the last people in the place and didn’t feel like we were being kicked out. Or maybe we did, if turning the music off and putting Seinfeld on the TV’s was their subtle hint. Either way, we sat in some nice comfy booths and enjoyed everything about the place.
I’d probably come back to these booths for some PDA.

I’ll admit, maybe I’m biased. I had my birthday there so was in a good mood during my last visit. Speaking of my birthday, they were exceptionally accommodating to our large group. Separate checks? No problem! Everyone was very happy with their food which ranges from burgers and fries to schwarmas. Looking at some of the kabobs, you’d think, gee, that’s it? Alas, the chicken was tender and well marinated, plus the tatziki sauce was nice and mild without being too cucumbery. By the end of the meal everyone was stuffed for under $ 10! I could barely eat my birthday baklava!
Another added bonus is that on Monday’s they offer tango lessons. I didn’t participate in it fully, the instructors were helpful and they accommodated the big crowd. I’ll be back soon!
**disclaimer — I have no idea how to spell some of the food options.
