If you want a good hookah, always go to Nazef! There are two locations, the lounge and the grill. Each has it’s own environment. If you want somewhere to party and chill, go to Nazef Hookah lounge. If you want a really chill place, with food, alcohol, and good hookah, go here!

This was my first time at Nazef’s. I sat outside and ordered the regular size Queen of Sex hookah. The server let me know the hookah is half off on Thursdays when you purchase a meal. I ordered the falafel pita which I was able to substitute hummus for the tzatziki sauce for no extra charge with the Greek salad no feta. nice salad with chickpeas carrots onions and an excellent Greek dressing. Check it out

Good place to visit when you want to relax, chill have a Hookah, something to eat, and good conversation.

Visting from LA, and I was skeptical at first with the review but after visiting and smoking some good shisha I am in love with this place. I highly recommend visiting if your looking for some good hookah and good vibes!

I just left here after my first visit.(And later) They open at 5pm as per sign. We arrived at 5:02 to find it not open. After calling the other location someone showed up & set us up with hookah & two waters and apologized for the wait. After sitting & waiting for an hour and a half still no cook, no food, nothing but water & hookah we decided to leave because we are so hungry after waiting so long and it doesn’t appear anyone is coming soon. Being honest people, we went & told the one gentleman there that we wanted to leave & he still had the nerve to charge me $ 17 for 2 waters, a $ 1 because I used my card smh, & a basic hookah!!! Absolutely appalling!

I have been a customer of Nazef for over 6 years and while I use to have good experiences, I haven’t had a good one in a while. I WILLNOT be going there again. I went a few months ago for the first stop in a bachelorette party for one of my best friends. We were a party of 6 and as such we had to get two hookahs or pay a higher price. One of the two hookahs we got was HORRIBLE. No one could smoke it; we all coughed after a single puff. We asked them to fix it or change it, but they couldn’t so we told them we couldn’t smoke it and they took it away. One of the people in our group was only there for about 15 minutes and left for another party shortly after we got there so we quickly became a party of 5 — no longer under the party of 6 or more two hookah policy. The service was okay, the waitress didn’t come around much, but whatever. Oh, and with their new policy we all had to buy drinks, so that was obnoxious; especially considering water was $ 5. When we went to check out the second hookah was on our bill. They refused to take it off, stating that it cost them money for the ingredients. I understand that, but I have a hookah and buy shisha all the time. It cost them max 3 dollars and instead it bumped our bill up by $ 25. I will never go there again. I DONOT recommend it. They acted like it was insane for us to not want to pay for something we didn’t use. Bad customer service. I’ve noticed a downward trend. I had been a loyal customer for years and had brought numerous new customers for them, but now I’m going to tell everyone I know not to go there. I would rather go to Lazy Dayz where they are much nicer and even though you have to buy a drink, if you go during happy hour it basically ends up being free.

Have been a regular customer for awhile, but the other day went and the owner was as rude as can be. He dropped coals on the floor and burnt through my jeans and didn’t even apologize about it. My friend wasn’t smoking«correctly» and he wanted him to leave. Worst is when I simply asked about a charge on my bill in the end, he threatened to call 911. I may not be a lawyer, but I do know that it is not against the law to ask about the charges, when it was Obvious he over charged us. He could have not been any worse, and this is when I brought some friends for the first time and just wanted to have a relaxed night. Will not return here under any circumstance, and either way the place has gone down hill in terms of quality and the cheap hookahs they use. Would recommend lazy dayz or another establishment. Heard there is a new place that opened that is much better on colonial and 40th. Would steer clear of Nazef !!!

NOOOOOPE. I was in here Saturday night, and a couple other customers came back in after leaving to ask about their check. It sounded like they had been overcharged and were coming back to fix it. The owner, Sam Nazef, literally started SCREAMING in this kid’s face and told him that if he said one more word he would kill him. Literally. It was insane. Totally unprovoked, and even if it HAD been provoked, screaming death threats at your customers is NOT the way to handle things. I’ll absolutely never go back here again.

They have curly fries!!!- which were fresh! Didnt try any other food items! Small place, will maybe hold about 20. Hookah was okay– we got the candy flavored. The guy changed the coal frequently, but he didnt change it properly, didnt take the top off and blow through it– my bf had to do it himself. Will return for some hookah if we are in the mood. Very casual joint, nothing special.

Don’t go for the food, go for the hookah! I have to say, some of the menu items are good, but honestly, this is a local college hangout for hookah and for belly dancing on fridays. I’ve always had great service, at least as far as getting my hookah goes. Honestly, if you go, go with four people. It’s one of the cheapest routes when splitting the tab, because the premium blends don’t increase in price by size. Food is probably from Costco, but it’s all right. The«Plump Chicken Tenders» are to DIE for when you are drunk late at night. Mozzarella sticks, next choice. I hear the Mediterranean food is excellent, but I’ve yet to try it. Sometimes the girls working are slow to change the coal, and the only time I’ve ever had a complaint was when I asked for an ash try like 90 times and she didn’t even get it for 20ish minutes. Manager is a great guy. Pretty girls, watch out! He’s a complimenter!

Terrible hookah(I pack a MUCH better one at home), awful service and a host of hidden fees brought my $ 11 hookah and 1 bottled water up to a whopping $ 24! I was charged for 2 people that didn’t even smoke — they said they charged per person because of space issues, however 1 person at 1 table is the same as 4 people at 1 table — it’s still 1 table that’s unavailable! I was also charged $ 2 extra for my flavor, even though I specifically chose a flavor that was listed on the menu as having no extra charge. Then I was charged a 15% gratuity which is ridiculous given our waitress had a terrible attitude and only came over once. Neither the per person charge nor the automatic gratuity were written anywhere on the menu. I will NEVER visit this place again.

The word«awkward» is not typically a word that comes to my mind when eating out some place. «Awful» maybe, but awkward? No. I can’t even fully explain why. Maybe it’s the setup– the seating, the position of the cash register with the hostess looming over the dining area. Or maybe it’s the feeling of the possibility of some sort of mobster transaction going on in the next room. Regardless, dining in here is awkward. The food is alright. I just ate there and barely remember it, that’s how unmemberable it was, but I remember not hating it. I give this place a solid«average», but can honestly say that if it isn’t free, I’m never eating here again.

I’ve definitely had better Greek food. The Greek Festival in Norfolk is way better, hands down. Their menu leaves off some of my favorite vegetarian Greek dishes like yemesta(rice-stuffed tomatoes and peppers), fassolakia(green beans in tomato sauce) and tiropita(a very rich cheese-only version of spanakopita). They are one of the few places that has pastitsio, which has meat but is a popular traditional dish and what I would recommend you must have if you’ve never had Greek food. Their spanakopita is dried out. The establishment is very casual and has a hookah bar with usually some kind of soccer on TV. Not really cozy and comfortable. But, there is an outdoor seating area that’s much nicer. I recommend ordering take out. Sadly, it’s hard to find good Greek food in Hampton Roads. There are delicious Greek restaurants like Orapax, but many of them don’t serve all the traditional dishes I’ve enjoyed in Greece and in the homes of my Greek friends. It’s true, they don’t claim to be a Greek restaurant, more broadly Mediterranean. But if you are looking for that, go to Azars or Pasha. Both are phenomenal.

I had a falafel craving, and this was the only place I could find that was open on New Year’s Day(evening)! Sadly, the restaurant shares a space with a hookah bar. Silly me for forgetting I was not in smoke-free Chicago. Even if you aren’t sensitive to smoke, wouldn’t the taste of your food be ruined by it? I called in my order and waited the 15 – 20 minutes for it in the parking lot. The falafel sandwich was rather soft — as in the pita was somewhat soggy; the falafel balls were not crunchy on the outside and had the consistency of I’m not sure what — thick hummus? The normal sauce on the sandwich is tzatziki sauce(not vegan), so I asked if they could leave it off and put hummus instead. They told me I could order a side of hummus. The hummus was served/priced as an appetizer dish with pita bread wedges and cucumber slices on top. Not exactly what I needed just to add to my sandwich, but it worked out ok as I ended up saving it for breakfast. The falafel sandwich came with spicy curly fries — always a favourite of mine. Not the best incarnation of my favourite food, but as only option at the time, I’d take it.

One of my favorite places to hit up for a quick dinner with friends. The gyros with fries are a solid choice. Never seemed to be that busy(I never went for the Bellydancers or hooka), but it was always comfortable for us to just chill and destress. There’s an outside patio too.

I’ll admit I’ve only had one dish from Nazef but it was enough to keep me coming back for more. I’ve had trouble finding tasty, quick, reasonably priced food in the Ghent area and Nazef has finally taken the spot for my favorite wrap. The grilled chicken pita is delicious with caesar dressing and bacon! The chicken was tender and seasoned well. Some friends of mine went there on my recommendation and they also came back with positive reviews.

I had the falafel, and wasn’t impressed. To be fair, I’ve had way more falafel than anyone should in a lifetime, so if you don’t know any better, that’s better for you. It is passable. But an excellent falafel tastes fresh fried and is very hot, has lots of flavor enhancers within(bold tahina sauce, hot sauce), is wrapped securely without danger of leakage or sogginess, and finally is grilled on the outside for a nice toasty package of heavenly falafel goodness. My falafel was noticeably lacking in these qualities. The back patio is pleasant enough, and slightly cramped so that parties at separate tables can end up talking together. Nicely convivial, if you’re into that sort of thing. Service seems a little disorganized – and I was there at 3:30 – but no major complaints.

Nazef normally isn’t open on Sundays, but the African Nations Cup Final was on yesterday. Egypt played Cameroon and since the owner is from Egypt, he said that the place had to be open and the game had to be on! Lucky us. We were the only folks there who didn’t come for the game, but man, we were glad we did! The game was great! Yeah Egypt! But the food was the main star. We had a gyro plate and a fiesta veggie plate. The gyro was wonderful with mushrooms, peppers and onions. And the fries… well, they were just perfect! The fiesta veggie plate was hummus, Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves and grilled pita. We’ll definitely be back!
