Solid place, been there numerous times, always have a good to excellent experience. The quality of hookah has always been excellent. You can feel the difference in the flavor and harshness (or lack thereof) compared to some other places in the vicinity. The staff is always prompt, friendly and attentive. Unlike other places where you have to ask and then wait, and wait, and wait for them to come around to re-coal, here they come around regularly. Ive had times where theyve come around even after youve paid the bill and are just chilling for a bit more. It shows that they dont falter on quality and customer service. I went there this past New Years and they handed out a bottle of this pretty decent stuff to each of their tables. I dont recall that being part of the deal when we paid that night, it just seemed like a little thank you gift and celebratory gesture from the owners. Who does that? Decor and accommodations are also excellent, its very spacious inside, they dont pack people like sardines. You can go with friends and have a good time without being bothered by other groups there. Its a good classy place to bring a date too IMO. Also the crowd tends to be mixed but generally good. Lot of working professionals instead of the typical annoying loud young kids (theres still some at times, but cant really fault them for that). Music is generally fun and lively as well. New Years was a blast because of it. Also, lastly, BYOB! Go there, I think youll be pleased.

Went there with some friends. I was under the impression that a "hookah lounge" would be just a laid back place with some dim lighting and a bunch of couches where you could just sit with your friends, smoke some hookah, and relax. Maybe I misunderstood what it was supposed to be, but Aladdins ws not even slightly that. It was more like a cheap, crappy nightclub. It was filled with loud idiots that took all of the seating and gyrated to the garbage techno that was blasting nonstop. Me and my friends could barely find a place to sit at all and there was no escape from the music or the "party people". The main lighting source was uncovered blacklights on the ceiling of the single cramped room that came to hurt my eyes after not a very long time at all, and we sat for a pretty solid amount of time before my bad-tasting hookah came out and we decided to leave after not very long. I got the distinct impression that it was quite dirty but the lights didnt really let me look all that close. To be honest, it almost looked like they took over a crackhouse, threw some speakers, lights, and a $10 disco ball in there and called it a buisness. I do not plan on going back again, ever. To sum it up: horrific.

Ive been here a couple of times, the hookahs are clean unlike other places. Servers are very friendly. Fridays and Saturdays get packed out but its free to make a reservation so thats always a plus, a lot of fun on those days and an amazing vibe/atmosphere On weekdays, they keep the music down so its a cool spot to smoke, chill and relax. Prices are cheap compared to other places and the hookahs and coal dont take time to come out. I think the 3 times I have been there I only had to ask once for coal and they brought it out right away. Cool people, chill crowd, amazing place def need to check it out and judge it for yourself If your thinking of somewhere to bring a girl def the place to bring her, BYOB for beer and wine.

They do not know how to make hookah. They poked too many holes in the foil and didnt put enough water in the base. The couches are outdated and dirty as if they pulled them off the street or as if this place was a previous ratchet strip club. The person never comes to change the coals, they dont have food and they dont have tea which every authentic Arabic or Turkish hookah lounge should have or any in that matter. The location looks like it is in a run down factory. There is nothing positive I can honestly say about this place. Please do not waste your time coming here. Head up to the clifton/ Paterson area or even Edgewater and enjoy an authentic, classy hookah lounge.

Good relaxed ambiance, with courteous, friendly staff and really good hookahs. Cheapest hookahs in all NJ. Really enjoyed ourselves here. Such great service and they tried helping with whatever was asked. Our coal was changed regularly and the service was fast. The hookah was great here as well, puffed out big thick clouds and the hookah was not harsh. There was a really good buzzing atmosphere packed with people of all ages and backgrounds. The hookah lasted for a LONGGG time without getting HARSH. Friday & Saturday nights are always LITT

Dont bother wasting your money at this one of 300 hookah lounges in central New Jersey. Horrible management, they think their upscale with bouncers, clearly un trained workers who cant read, speak or view anything correctly and an all around poorly ran place. No sign in the front, can easily pass without knowing because it is attached to a telecom business. Want to try a new hookah lounge, take it from someone who smokes hookah often, do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your time or your hard earned money.

what a nightmare. As I walked in my friend and I were charged 10 dollars, and sat there waiting for a hookah. I approached the manager and asked where my hookah was? and he told me its 10 more dollars. I told him what kind of scam are you running here and asked for my money back. He said hell give me a free hookah this time. By the way, it was Friday night and the place was completely empty. Not a very chill environment, and the walls are riddled with holes.

I never went to the old Aladdin but from what I have heard, this place is a major upgrade! The environment is very chill but fun. They didnt charge us for bringing wine which was awesome because Ive gone to places where they charge $20 for bringing bottles !! They dont let you bring hard alcohol but with the wine we brought we had an awesome night. The staff was really personable too, laughing and making a lot of conversation with us. Id def go back :) !!

This place is filthy. The hookah is disgusting everything about it seems like its made by an amateur who doesnt even know what hookah is, the service is disgusting. If you ask for new coal, they will literally take half an hour to change it. The couches are just nasty, and guess what theyre playing on tv as you come to enjoy a good time after a stressful week of work? A dying childs journey through lung transplant which made me cry in front of my friend.
