Cafe Noho Grill & Lounge

This is a good place to eat. The food good and prices reasonable, especially the weekday breakfast specials. The service is great. Victoria, Amber, Brandi, and Ann are all great and take excellent care of their customers!

Very simple
food — eatable
environment– cool enough
staff — high or just slow as hell.
management — ugh
hookah– over priced but pretty damn good.
solution– Amsterdamn Café down the road is a better choice.

Re-​newed and very chillaxing mood in here. Cali burger was phenomenal and chicken strips is a big portion for an appetizer very delicious

The hookah is amazing, the décor is hip and classy, but what is up with the ghetto hip hop? Everything about this place is perfect, except the music. People walk by and they are interested in walking in, until they hear the music, and they just keep walking lol.

After one of the plays nearby, a large group of us ended up here and my boyfriend and I were very disappointed by the food. He ordered the falafel plate and I ordered fries and a salad, mostly because they were the only items that fit my vegetarian and gluten free diet and partially because I figured, how can they go wrong?
First of all, the waitress brought the wrong fries, she brought out garlic fries, then insisted that they were regular. Although she did take them back and fix them, they were the worst fries I have ever had in my life! For fun we had other people from the table try them and my friend said they tasted as if they were frozen then fried incorrectly. The salad I ordered was wrong as well, I ordered a Greek Salad but when they brought it out they had forgotten the feta so they brought that out separately (which didn’t bother me too much) but really the salad was so bland. My boyfriend did not like his falafel plate either.
We both have spent half our lives in middle eastern countries so it is not as if we are not accustomed to middle eastern cuisine or hookah. Perhaps someone who doesn’t frequent hookah bars or eat middle eastern food might love this place, but for us this was nothing impressive, more so depressive.

I’ve tried to come to this place twice now during their «open» hours and both times they were closed even though they claim they’re open on Unilocal.It’s 9:30 on a Saturday and they’re closed! What kind of business advertises that they’re open and then close their doors on a Saturday night? Just ridiculous! Oh and I’ve WALKED there these two times only to find disappointment. Not cool!

Great service. Amy was our waitress. Great tabouleh, and hummus. The place is on the pricey side if you want to sit in the booths in the back.

Worst café in town! The owners are criminals! Do not go here! There are tons of yummy places in NoHo… There is a much much better hookah place right down magnolia. Why spend money where the owners are rude and stuck up?! The guys at the place down the street are awesome and know a lot more about hookah and have more options.

Favorite place for hookah. They have a HUGE selection of hookah flavors and the staff is very well aware of the flavors they serve. The food is also great especially the chicken panini with the fries. I suggest you get a lavoo because it’s really worth it.

huge selection of flavors for hookah. nomnomnom so many yummy flavors.
good music playlist (something along the lines of club songs).
friendly staff.
last but not least, beer.
the end.

This place is a hidden gem. My friend and I were looking to try different places for hookah instead of the normal spot, and we found this place. When we went there weren’t that many people, which we didn’t mind at all. It is decorated real nicely, hip and modern.
We weren’t sure what to get, so we asked for a recommendation, and that was the best thing we could have done. The service was great and so was the hookah. It’s a good spot to go on a chill night with friends or even on a first date.

I brought a group of 8 people to this restaurant/​café and everyone enjoyed the environment and food! Nora was so helpful and friendly and sweet.
I wish more people would check it out, it doesn’t seem to be as busy as it should be during the day time. I’m walking distance from this restaurant and will definitely make a stop very often!
They also had way more food options than I expected.

Awesome hookah! Great food. The owner is really friendly and makes sure you’re taken cared of.

This is a very bizarre place.
Hookah was good! They serviced us, and it lasted for nearly two hours without any refills. Sadly, that is where the good times ended.
When we first arrived, we were told by the waitress that they did not have a great dessert selection. No problem for us, but, we asked what they had anyway. «Brownies that are being made now!» our waitress said. This sounded great! Warm brownies!
So, we got our Hookah and some drinks. And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
For brownies.
Whilst waiting, a strange man took a photo of us and the manager (?) said not to put our foot on the table because «Food was being served» (which confused me, because… our food had not been served).
Several other tables came and went while we waited — for brownies.
After about an hour, I asked the waitress if she had an update on the brownie situation. She said she would check. So we waited for a response.
And waited.
And waited.
For a response about the brownie situation.
So, I asked again after about 15 minutes. She said that the cook was waiting for them to get «fluffy» and «cool» (What?) We ordered a coffee refill.
Took about another 15 minutes to get the coffee and still no brownies.
I asked for the check and never received brownies — after paying, I was told that we could «Try again next time» for brownies. There will be no next time.

I got here a lot I’m a regular, living across the street. For my birthday they gave me percentage off the hookah which I loved. I love the people Ashley, Nichole and Tina. I remember there names because they remember mine.
The boss can be a bit demanding, it’s a Hookah spot and I want to chill but the boss is very up tight. It’s family runned you can get that because they’re very frugal with things.
Sometimes
You have to remind the guy, to get things which is okay.
But Nicole, Tina and Ashley always get it no reminder and I appreciate that.
5 starts for the girls
3 starts for the only guy that woks there
2 stars for the management /​owners
4 stars Customer service
I like that you have to buy something to be there. Makes me happy knowing people aren’t just Setting around cause they can.

Complete disappointment.
You could time the service with a sundial.
Food was barely cooked to begin with (which took nearly a half-​hour to prepare a grilled cheese and a burger) and when we politely sent our order back to be redone, they just cut off the bite marks and re-​cooked the crappy food they’d already served us — which STILL took an ADDITIONAL HALF HOUR!!!
And then they had the nerve to act surprised when we were not happy with our meal!
This place has NO concept of what it takes to succeed in the restaurant business. A nice coat of paint on the walls and a patio full of hookahs is still NOT going to win any lasting customer base.
After having been open for 5 months, you should have your sh*t together… instead, you just slapped it on a plate, walked it through a warm kitchen and hoped we wouldn’t notice.

This is definitely a new take on a traditional hookah bar. Contemporary styling with lounge music, over the traditional middle eastern atmosphere. It works, and it doesn’t. They only have the rear area that’s a bit more lounge-​like, but the seating in the front half of the place is tables & chairs. I wish there were more lounge-​style seating as a group of 5 or 6 easily occupies all of that currently.
We had the wings which was very good and they are very good with their hookah. This is probably the only place in the valley that serves Tangiers. They also use a phunnel bowl along with placing the coals (coco-​nara I believe) stonehenge style. They also have if I recall correctly: Starbuzz, Fumair, and Al Fahker. Their tobacco menu is definitely my favorite part.
Pricing is also very reasonable.
If they incorporated more of a lounge-​style seating and perhaps more variety in terms of coffee/​drinks and finger foods, this place would be even better.

Came across this spot last night with a friend one late night… IT STAYS OPEN LATE which is great in a town where alot shuts down at 9 or 10. Cool interior loungy feel…
Me and my friend both got gyros, which were cool, not great though. Its more of the gyro shapped patties that came with seasoned fries. It was still good enough to eat though!
They have a few tvs but they werent on… service was awesome though with our server Nicole
Ill go back to try other food and the hookah one day… it stays open late and has a cool vibe with good service so it can get a 4 for that!

This place is amazing! As of now it’s never crowded, great booths for big parties, electro style music, cool lighting, patio seating up to 10, super yummy food that’s somewhat healthy, amazing salads, fresh hummus and pita, nice waitresses, quick and great service!
Not to mention located in an up and coming place to be and close to the freeway.
Wow…enough said… oh yeah… and it’s SUPER reasonable in price!

This place would be fantastic if they had better service and served alcohol.
I realize that we came late on a week night, but there was only one server and she was flighty. Super friendly… but not quite on her game. It also took forever for the hookah to come out.
Definitely a scene for 18 – 20 crowd with the loud music videos and strobe lights.
