Meena House Cafe Brooklyn Reviews
Great hookah, always come here whenever I'm in Brooklyn.
Great hookah, always come here whenever I'm in Brooklyn.
Every visual choice enhances rather than distracts from dining. Each bite offers wonderful flavor! The establishment's head person demonstrated remarkable friendliness. The service sets this restaurant apart. The price structure matches the quality.
Hookah was of high quality. Staff attentive and fast. When we said our hookah tasted burned, the guy quickly resolved the problem with just a few puffs. Drinks are amazing here non alcoholic yet so refreshing. Something about the cloud and fresh lemonade drink that will set the mood for the night. Recommend. They work even at late hours.
Pleasantly impressed! Had Ramadan iftar last night, and although it was packed, food was on time, freshly made, hot, and authentically Egyptian. Tasted like it came out of the kitchen at home!! Shisha was great too 😊 and ambience was very Egyptian.
I don't smoke hookah, but they have the most AMAZING mahshi there. Both the stuffed cabbage and the stuffed meat one. I would order it in bulk once or twice a week. Recently moved to another state and was willing to pay someone on ROADIE to pick it up and deliver it, that's how good it is. Other food I tasted I didn't like from the rice to the okra or the shakes, but the mahshi malfouf always kept me coming back. Inshallah they will reopen
Prob 6th or 7th time being here . Still open from when I used to come years ago and great customer service every single time I step in here . Hookah is ALWAYS fresh , Tea is always good, food is always great . There is No complaints , I recommend.

Old fashioned hookah place. If you want to feel like you are back in Egypt and having hookah at a dive bar type hookah spot come here. Authentic and rustic. Don’t expect fancy things. It’s good hookah and good drinks. Come for the experience of a truly authentic Egyptian hookah. Like going into an old fashion club or smoke house.

They have a good food and good hookah. But they need to renew the seats and the table.
Good service but the clients was very inappropriate, they were loudly and they was farting like crazy

Garbag service dirty cup and pore tea Employe thif almost lost my iPhone Place very dirty table bathe rom street use discustin
Kinda dingy place, doesn't take credit cards, takes forever to get hookah or coals and hookah tastes kinda funny... Prices about the same as all other lounges in bay ridge. But you will get a lot better value at Bai'dar
Basically you'll notice that when I was comfortable with giving this restaurant 4 stars about 1.5 years ago, the situation wasn't different from today. The restaurant owner can barely be seen and the maid is running the show. Basically since the half Moroccan half Puerto Rican maid left, some Arab girl has taken care of the show and sucks. First off they take their time bringing the order, everything is overpriced and downsized from 1.5 years ago, 6 dollars for an 8 ounce crappy bannana milkshake, which is listed as 5 dollars in the book (they wouldn't agree to change the price despite this), and when the server brought back my $3 of change, she didn't even wait to hear my answer to her question about keeping the change for tip, and assumed she could simply pocket it. Ridiculous. Stay away. I am driving in from NJ and would rather going to Ali Baba's
The worst service and the dirtiest coffee shop I've ever seen also there is no filter for the bad smell!
