Nice place to enjoy yourself ... But it depends on your age group. The music volume is extremely high and uncomfortable regardless of whether you are old school or young school....

The saying is true: Quality is better than quantity. And yet this place seems to have them both; the people and the quality one needs to feel special. I went excited to just see DJ Lynda Dane play and yet I enjoyed it more than just the music she played. I was taken away by the time that was taken in making this place look posh. And when I got here at first, I thought it was the wrong decision to be here because I wasn't seeing many people. I realized later that I hadn't explored the place enough cause there were other rooms. I have a problem with places where sisha isn't used in a specific area. But for the first time, I could enjoy a place without fear of being burnt by the servers. So I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun, to visit this place. I love that I can just scan the menu from the tables, walk to different places according to my vibe and feel special at the same time because the atmosphere is good. You'll get some good services here because so much time, money and attention has been invested in this place
