Alibaba Hookah Bar

Absolutely disappointed I’m a regular customer since 2015, I used to go there all the time cause the food and hookah is great but last night it was terrible. Since we arrived at the location, there was punch of people taking all the parking spots in the street and standing by the hookah lounge door blocking the entrance to the place and drinking, walked inside and asked if we can sit in the back room then we were asked to pay first if we would like to sit in the back room even tho we had already placed an order over the phone for food prior to arriving and regular customers but it was okay to go a head and sit anywhere without paying in the front room!! We got the food in a to go boxes and had to feel very uncomfortable all eyes on us eating, now here is the problem a can of Coca Cola is $4 INSANELY OVER PRICED, beef shawrma plats is $25 even tho on their minu it’s only $16, hookah $24 same thing over prices and after all the rice had no flavor at all and was socked in water and had to pay $73 . Very disappointing we had to drive 25 minutes to get there just caused we enjoy this food specifically between all places. My brand new car was also hit and run outside that location from a punch of drunk girls who were inside that hookah not long time ago. Find somewhere else to go this place is turning into ghetto environment.

The food was amazing! And their house special lemonade was fantastic!!! It's a must try. A decent eating option for non-smokers, but you just have to request for a non smoking place. Their falafel was the best I've ever had and hummus was good as well. Would definitely go back again!

I had some onion rings here and they were soggy with oil, and came 20 minutes after I ordered them. The server was really kind, but I felt like mid-service he got distracted chatting with other customers and forgot to check in on my hookah. I had to really try to get his attention. The hookah started off really strong, but tasted burnt and harsh shortly- I stopped smoking it 15 minutes later

I own a hookah lounge in Saint Louis (Exotic shisha lounge) that being said I smoke everyday and this place is by far my fav in Chicago, the food is fresh and tasty the hookah was good but most of all the hospitality from the owner was outstanding. Will deff be back!

I ordered a caesar salad “to-go” she swore me up and down this is a caesar salad. With italian dressing on it. This looks like the rest of someone else’s food. It was the end of the night so im sure it was. Also the menu said 17.99 the receipt she charged 23.99.
