40 Thieves San Jose San Jose Reviews
From the moment you step into 40 Thieves Hookah Lounge, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's both luxurious and welcoming. It's not just a place to enjoy shisha; it's an experience curated with meticulous attention to detail, and the heart of that experience is undoubtedly the exceptional customer service. Let's begin with the staff. They aren't merely taking orders; they're genuine enthusiasts, passionate about shisha and eager to guide you through their extensive menu. Their knowledge is truly impressive. I've been to numerous hookah lounges, but never have I encountered such a well-informed and attentive team. They take the time to understand your preferences, asking detailed questions about your favorite flavor profiles—sweet, fruity, minty, spicy, or a blend of everything. They don't just recommend; they craft a personalized shisha experience. On my first visit, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of shisha flavors available. It's a veritable treasure trove, a testament to 40 Thieves' commitment to providing an unparalleled selection. From classic double apple to exotic blends I'd never even heard of, the choices seemed endless. I expressed my fondness for citrus and mint, and the staff member, without hesitation, suggested a unique blend of lemon mint with a hint of white peach. The result was nothing short of sublime—a refreshing, perfectly balanced flavor that lingered pleasantly. What truly sets 40 Thieves apart is their dedication to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction. The coals are meticulously managed, ensuring a consistent and smooth smoke. The staff constantly checks in, not in an intrusive way, but with a genuine desire to ensure you're enjoying your session. They're quick to adjust the heat, change coals, or offer suggestions for flavor combinations. They anticipate your needs before you even voice them. The lounge itself is a haven of relaxation. The ambiance is sophisticated, with comfortable seating, soft lighting, and tasteful décor. It's the perfect place to unwind with friends, enjoy a quiet evening alone, or even host a small gathering. The ventilation system is top-notch, ensuring a pleasant and smoke-free environment. Even with a full house, the air remains fresh and clear. Beyond the shisha, 40 Thieves also offers a selection of beverages and light snacks. While not their primary focus, the quality of these offerings complements the overall experience. The drinks are well-made, and the snacks are fresh and flavorful. The cleanliness of the lounge is also noteworthy. The tables, hookahs, and seating areas are consistently spotless. The staff maintains a high standard of hygiene, which adds to the overall sense of comfort and relaxation. In short, 40 Thieves Hookah Lounge is more than just a place to smoke shisha; it's a destination for those seeking an exceptional and personalized experience. The combination of their vast shisha selection, knowledgeable and attentive staff, and luxurious ambiance makes it a standout establishment. If you're looking for a top-tier hookah lounge experience, look no further than 40 Thieves. They have truly mastered the art of hospitality, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. This is a place I will be returning to, again and again.
They play all kind of music including Bollywood. The owner is friendly and professional. Place was not crowded. Plenty of parking available.
That is my first visit and the guy here very very friendly and the hookah was amazing .I will come again for sure.thank tou

That is my first visit and the guy here very very friendly and the hookah was amazing .I will come again for sure.thank tou
I have been going here for ages but had not left a comment under the new address. I just simply love the hookah and friendly service.
I came from Miami and I was looking for a good hookah lounge. I called a couple of places and finally had a chance to talk with the owner. He is such a nice and decent person. We had a great talk on the phone and he invited me over. When I was there, I saw that they have all the tobacco from everywhere, very, very high quality. He made my day. Thanks for your kindness and amazing taste in hookah.
I've come here over 10 times in the past few months. 40 Thieves is by far my favorite hookah lounge in the south bay. Smoke is always thick with a large variety of great strong flavors. Their hookahs are also high quality with rubber hoses. Another highlight is the management here. I've always felt welcome and they are quite attentive. Additionally, they have fast consistent wifi, which is great because I come here often to get work done on my laptop
Absolutely stellar hookah bar with one of the most experienced and professional owners I've ever met, who actually knows how to pack Cane Mint how it's meant to be enjoyed. Hands down a must try and hidden gem in the bay area. Give this place a shot, they know how to pack a great bowl!
This is the best hookah lounge in the entire Bay Area because the hookah’s are kept clean, great vibes with great music. I dropped my wallet by accident and the owner kept it safe for me for 3 days and when I went to pick it up it was safely returned to me with everything intact. If you’re looking to have a great time with good hospitality then I recommend this lounge.
Best Hookah lounge in the South Bay. Vibe is great. Music is nice. Excellent quality hookahs and coal. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Space is clean. Prices are reasonable. Service is superior to any other hookah lounge. Great place to hang out with friends or chill by yourself. Must try if you are in the South Bay.
Visiting from Denver and the owner has been nothing but nice & hospitable. The best hookah we’ve had since being here! Definitely will be coming back.
Coming from New York for the first time, this place is the best in the bay area. The service is top notch and very fast and amazing flavors which lasts for hours and great smoke. I will definitely come back here every time I would visit the bay area. Yousuf the owner is the sweetest and great personality ❤️
The staff is extremely hospitable and down to earth. The prices are also not too bad compared to other lounges. Also on a side note, I love the fact they have power strips between some of the couches to charge devices. I've been to this location when it was a different lounge, and finding a place to plug in was next to impossible. But back to the review, they bring the hookahs out in a very timely manner and always give you enough tips for the hose if you're in a group.
This lounge is amazing very spacious and comfortable. In the heart Downtown San Jose 40 Thieves is a hookah lounge that offers one of kind smoking experience. They provide excellent customer service by consistently checking in with their customers. What I enjoy the most about this lounge is the fact that the owner attempts to build relationship with his customers. Which is rare in small business as such. Majority lounge is that I visited in the area don't have their owner on site. I also really like the design of their hookahs. The hookah are unique and are very clean. This lounge is very well maintained. With all these positive traits I would defiantly recommend this lounge to all my friends. If you are reading this I would recommend that you check this place out. I promise you will not regret it :)
Great place to hookah. The vibe was very lively and the guy behind the counter was very knowledgeable. And he even let you smell the flavors to see which one you really wanted.
The best hookah in Bay Area. Very well maintained place to vibe and have a nice time. The quality and service has been the same, been here from a long time and a lot of times.
Owner knows what he's doing. Plenty of room and varieties, specials even. Always get your own table.

Better known for their great hookahs. The owner is Afghani and funny! They have wide varieties of hookah and comfortable couches and the owner claims to have the best hookah in the whole of South Bay! While I don't do hookah, my friend really enjoyed it and visited twice.

Clean and spacious but pretty much dead. No "happening" vibes. But yeah, if you just wanna meet up, have a hookah and chill it's fine.

2 stars for really good hookah and an awesome chill vibe. But unfortunately customer service wasn't the best. A third friend literally sat for like 3 seconds to find out they don't serve food. He left even before the hookah came out. When the time came to pay at the counter, they still charged a seating fee even though the friend was never there. So watch out for strict seating fees.

Everything else was fine, but the owner’s behavior was really disappointing. I had been going there with my friend for almost a year, but he doesn’t deserve loyal customers with the way he treats people.
