Simply the best place in the area for Hookah and Shisha. Great prices, and a wide selection makes it much better than mail ordering. The store is family owned and they love repeat customers.
They recently expanded with a cafe / hookah bar. I haven't been able to stop in for a meal / smoke, but it looks great. -

Can I give 0 stars? While I didn't smoke, the food just sucks. I had been having a hankering for a Falafel Bar falafel, but alas, they were closed, so I decided to explore a bit and decided to try Aladin.
The atmosphere: The place feels dirty - the "leather" table clothes are missing patches of "leather". The window that we sat at had a power strip on the cushion with the cord to their open sign dangling at my head. No music was playing.
The Service: I think the server was also the cook. She forgot my Falafel and never brought the Lebne we ordered. They were out of 3 items, 2 of which I had wanted to get.
The Food: Pita should NEVER be microwaved. It was chewy and gross. The hummus was like soup - baby food soup. My falafel, when I did get it, was dry and had a disgusting pickle in it. The sandwich was premade, microwaved, and then put in the sandwich press - the paper had grill marks on it. The Grape leaves were from a can - the inside was the consistancy of canned cat food.
Oh - they have happy hour from 4 - 8 in which all food is 1/2 price. For a shawarma, falafel, hummus, grape leaves, and two sodas it was $10. Still not worth it.
All in all - I wish I would have just waited until lunch the next day to go to the Falafel Bar.
Aladin, hop on your magic carpet and go far, far away. -

I go to school in Buffalo and went here with a group of friends for hookah and food. We got our own couch area to fit a group of 8. The food was pretty good. I made everyone order falafel because they've never had it IN THEIR LIFE!! Their lives sucked until that day. But anyways the food is cheap and so are the hookahs. I enjoy.

Shisha was good, atmosphere was iffy at best. Server should be fired. Ignored us never came back to our table after we got shisha. We had to flag down a supervisor to get coffee. Our server was getting a piggy back ride from another customer rather than taking care of us. Also they were out of the first three flavors we requested.

I came here for hookah the other night and was way impressed. For starters, the place is very clean, which is an immediate plus. Second, hookah is priced per bowl rather than person, so kudos to them for fairness. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and I will definitely return for hookah sometime.
