Alfrha

$ 20.00 minimum for a credit card and offer of in store atm is a blatant rip off, coupled with high prices. Buying things elsewhere

I came here to buy a hookah as a gift along with all the supplies someone would need to get started. I was greeted soon after entering the shop. The sales person was helpful and friendly. The prices are reasonable as well.

Found this place based on other reviews here on Unilocal.They were very friendly, and answered all my questions since it was my first time buy hookah supplies. Will go back here again.

The staff are very friendly. Great place to buy supplies at great prices. all sorts of flavors and tobacco brands.

Best spot ever if u r trying to buy hookah supplies either for personal or business purposes
They got all the new flavors and they got the best kinds of charcoal
I tried so many different places and No way somewhere else beat the prices that they gimme

I wanted to buy a hookah pipe and Unilocaled a shisha store in Astoria and stumbled upon Alfrha. I didn’t know much about owning a shisha and I def needed more help and after reading the other reviews, I knew this must be the store to check out first.
As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted with a smile. I asked different questions about owning a shisha, flavors, coal etc and the staff had no issues with all the questions. He told me to give them a buzz if i needed any help with the shisha.
They have a lot of different types of flavors and coals at Alfrha which are quite difficult to find in Queens. He also sends me updates via text about there new items in store which is very helpful.

Great people that work here. Many times I would just hang out and speak with the staff after I bought my items already. Good selection of shisha tobaccos and equipment for your hookah pipes. Always full on pita, dates, and sunflower seeds. Decent sandwiches made to order if you are hungry. Great selection of teas and coffees. Have most necessities for any kitchen. If you just need a calling card, smokes, or something quick to eat/​drink, stop in and give your support to these guys. Nice folks that are running a great small business and they deserve the credit I give. Hellua!

I was shocked to say the least when I found out this place served food. It looks like a small convenient store and the entire display windows are hookahs. Who would have thought this place would have pretty good food. I got the chicken shawarma for $ 6. Thought it would just be a sandwich but it also came with a small portion of fries and veggies on the side. A steal for the price and the food was very good. I really loved their fries also.

Their awning clearly says ALFRHA, yet when you search for their business on the internet, you end up finding Alfarha Corp. But I digress.
This small little hole in the wall market is where I get my bulgurs (type of wheat). The bulgur packages I find in other markets have darker color and isn’t as clean I find it, and the smell is also very pungent. But the ones they sell in ALFRHA are clean and yellow and when you cook them they are much softer and odorless.
Every time I pass by the shop my eyes would catch the giant piles of Arabic housewares stacked up against their front window. And it has always triggered my curiosity. The arrangements would include Shisha bottles, tagine plates and boxes with Arabic labels that I cannot recognize.
The staff members are always friendly and never afraid to give you a smile. In fact, that’s their motto didn’t you know? The first thing you’d get to see upon entering their shop is a giant hand-​painted sign that says ‘Smile, it’s free!’. A small neighborhood store with a big heart, now that’s awesome. And that is why I love ALFRHA.

Really helpful and nice employees, much variety in arabic spices and foods. If you are interested or need arabic food/​spices/​other ingredients, this place has alot.

So, we were enjoying smoking shisha at a café and realized we needed to have a hookah pipe of our own. Soon after we left, we stumbled upon Alfrha, a Mediterannean grocery with the pipes gleaming like a beacon in the windows. The staff there was incredibly friendly and smiley and kind — explaining how to use our pipe and saying that if we had any questions, we could call them up 24 hours a day. I have a deep fondness for people who provide a service and do so with kindness and passion. Thank you! We will be back for more tobacco…
