This is probably my favorite hookah spot in NJ and NYC. Yes, there are more high end spots that try to enter the nightlife territory (as if a hookah lounge is supposed to be a night club). That’s alright, but I personally enjoy a hookah lounge that is a place where I can lay back and relax at (which is what a lounge is). This spot genuinely makes me feel as if I’m taking a vacation from American culture. The hookah is very solid and is at a good price. They serve all the hookah on a grapefruit
I celebrated my birthday with a group of friends at Charcoal Gardenia and WOW what an unforgettable night! 🎉 From the moment we walked in, the energy was amazing, and our waiter Ibrahim absolutely made the experience next-level with his outstanding service. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel celebrated all night long 🥳. The food completely blew us away and the portion sizes were huge (we had tons of leftovers!) and every single bite was delicious. The bread was super fluffy
We had a group of 12 to celebrate our birthdays and we all had a blast. The food was so fresh and delicious. We dipped the hot pita bread into the mixed mezze plate. The shepherd salad and tabbouleh were so good. Then came the main dishes that were mind blowing. For dessert we had a little bit of everything and it was sinful. We highly recommend this place.
