  24. Place is small and staff are rude
    Went there with my gf for a hookah and drinks. Hookah is harsh and service is terrible. Food is just ok. Not the best crowd either with some young kids. There are other hookah lounges in the same area that are way better. I should've read the previous reviews before going there.

    I made a reservation a week in advance and called TWICE to confirm (spoke to the same lady each time) and despite all the confirmation, they did not have my reservation and gave me hell about bringing in such a large party at the "last minute." Waitress had a serious attitude problem and had the nerve to argue with my bf about the bill and some ADDITIONAL charges in front of my entire party which...

  31. Bad food, worst service.
    We were referred to this place by another restaurant that is undergoing renovation. Bottom line... bad stale food (especially the falafel). SERVICE IS CR@P. Talking to the owner (rodent face guy) is useless. My suggestion is to avoid this place, I know I will.

  42. Good hookahs, rest is unacceptable
    A horrible name, bad service, watery drinks, decent hookahs and over-snobby would be a good summary of this hookah cafe. The hookahs are not cheap as it is in many hookah bars, coal is replenished frequently and aluminum wrapping makes sure that the hookah maintains optimum burn. Having managed a hookah cafe myself, I was impressed. However, the Sangria pitcher that accompanied our hookahs could...

  43. Worst experience ever.
    I came on a Saturday night to what I thought might be an excellent hookah bar with six of my friends. Instead, we were treated with literally *abrasive* service from the rudest woman ever. After she rudely informed us of the 20$ minimum (and, being under 21, that minimum per person would be difficult to reach), we told her we wanted to cancel our hookah order (placed about 90 seconds before). ...

  48. Great for Hookah and maybe some fun, not so much anything else.
    The place is pretty spacious, and that helps when it's crowded, but the crowds can be friendly and youthful and fun to be around, especially when people are dancing. Hookah's pretty decent and so it the space. Drinks were awful, I would stick with beer next time, and I havent gotten the food but don't expect much either.

  82. I agree...worst place to dine in NYC
    I had the same experience with these people. They kicked us out of the tented area to seat a bigger party, even though I had made reservations 2 weeks ahead. Will never go there again. Service is horrible and all the employees are unprofessional and disrespectful. How does this place get such a high rating with ALL the bad reviews?

  83. WORST Customer Service I've Ever Experienced in NYC
    As soon as I walked into this place I knew it was going to be trouble. The reservation guy/host was incredibly unfriendly and unaccommodating. He was already arguing with one of the other employees when I walked in. I reserved two tables under the tent 2-3 weeks in advance for my friend's birthday on a Saturday, only to have them taken away from me because they were expecting a much larger party ...

  84. Avoid this place at all cost
    Please do not go here. My recent experience here involved a $3 bottle of water, a drunk waiter, a busted hookah, and an undeserving 20% gratuity. I'm fairly indifferent to most restaurants, but this was aweful. The only enjoyable part of the night was watching the two drunk co-eds in the tent next to us waste their money on bottles of Grey Goose. I repeat: AVOID THIS PLACE.

    We had a reservation for 10 people last sat night and after we were seated and had ordered a couple of drinks and hookahs the staff asked us to move because they had a party of 20 coming. The staff at this restaurant is extremely rude and unprofessional. I have also tried the food here and its horrible. The chicken is so try it tastes like sand and the beef smells like its been sitting there f...

  91. WORST Dining Experience Ever in NYC
    I went to lunch here with 2 friends today, and it was the worst food and service we have ever gotten! We were the only people in the restaurant (which should have been our obvious first sign to not even try it), but they were obviously not busy. When the waitress came to take our order she told us that there was a drink minimum. This was never posted anywhere. When I pointed it out to her, sh...

  95. You treat people a certain way, your gonna pay
    I stumbled upon Horus one night with two of my friends after binge drinking on beers and margeritas. What made us walk in, I have no idea, must have been the alcohol talking. The ambiance was funky and cool, though its kinda blurry, the music kept the place hopping and people toes tapping. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I guess they were not treated the way we were. They sat us at a t...

    I went to Horus Cafe to celebrate the 1 year Anniversary of Black Out 2. It was the first time they had their event there. I didn't know to expect all of this. Two levels, Dj, Belly Dancing and more. The atmosphere alone made this place warm, inviting and romantic. I will definitley return with a date.

  97. Horrible Service!!!!
    This restaurant has the WORST service I have ever seen in the city. First, i reserved a table for 9 and when we got there they put us in a table that fits 5. So I asked for a bigger table but they told us all tables was reserved. Finally they gave us a bit bigger table but the host was complaining that we kept waiting to switch. After dinner we ordered a hookah and after 20 minutes waitress com...

    I have NO idea how this place is opening a second location on 10th Street especially after reading all the reviews on this place! I went there for dinner last night in hopes of some yummy Mediterranean food. Food was okay - had better. The ambiance is more for a club than for a restaurant - especially with the projection of belly dancers brightly exposed on a screen. It was too much. But the ...

  102. I used To Love This Place....
    I made reservations for my birthday-about 20 people saturday to sit in the "tent" section. It was raining, a bunch of people were late, the 1st couple people showed up 10 minutes late, the rest -a little over a half hour late, but it was raining hard. We were rushed to order food - they said they could only hold the space for 2 hours, I was NOT told this over the phone and we planned to stay ...

    I went there for my bday had a group of 7 and the service was EXCELLANT the waiter Ivan was very nice and accomodating. Food was very good. The belly dancer however was not very good she looked like she was 12 and the hookahs are $20 not $10 as advertised. They say free entrance but you must spend $20 a person so its not really free. The music was great and it gets packed so dont go late we unfor...

  105. What Gives CitySearch?
    With only 4 reviews of this place - two of which are horrible and two of which are positive - and no staff review, how can it get an 8.6 rating? Humm, I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the restaurant has paid to have "a message from this business" on the site...?

Upon arrival, was told there is a 20 dollar cover (was not told about this when making reservation, and Website also states there is no cover) Was treated very poorly by so-called manager who also tried to tell me he was the owner (I know who th...

  107. Belly Dance Extravaganza
    This place is definetely addictive. I went there on a Friday night and at first it was not busy but the atmosphere was still great. The dim lights and variety of music makes you feel as if you aren't in New York. We ordered the lamb tagine and mezza combo which were to die for. As the night progressed the place filled up in a blink of an eye. Suddenly the music got louder and a beautiful belly ...

    This place is FAB! everytime we go we have a great time. Note that if you get there early you'd almost think the place is closed, but if you go late you wonder if they ever close at all! If you want a quiet dinner don't show up late, cuz the atmosphere gets louder and more loungy as the nite goes on. There's usually a DJ, and the Belly Dancers are real good at getting people to join them, (even ...

    I am usually super relaxed when it comes to service and food, especially since I was a waitress for 3 years and understand how certain nights and timing can interfere with the service and quality. But my experience here left me feeling horrible! First, the prices on their menus are inaccurate/oudated, as we discovered when the bill came. Second, for the PRICE, the SERVICE should have been BETT...
