    After having a wonderful experience at another Horus lounge, we decided to try this one. While the hookah was excellent, the service from our waitress was NOT. She was rude from the moment we came in, charged us for incorrect items, slammed drinks on our table and snatched our menus. The guy working there has great service on the contrary. Maybe she was having a bad day… but girl… take a break. The attitude was unnecessary and made me uncomfortable. Food was ok! She’s the main reason for the 2 stars. DJ was great in the beginning as well. Nice environment and fun crowd! Where I come from… you give a tip for standard service and excellent service. Therefore, we did not leave a tip. We were accosted at the door to be told that we did not leave a tip… We know. It was intentional. The service from our waitress sucked. Possibly because we were black. The other ethnicity’s in the building received good service🤷🏽‍♀️ Sorry… we deserve good service as well. There’s a tip for you… give good service to everyone!!

    It was a lovely experience. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Hookah was nice and we had the mezza platter which was tasty. They serve alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and the black tea with mint (recommended by the staff ) was very pleasant! Overall, we had an enjoyable time!

    Good vibes here! Food, wine, hookah and great music. You can sit inside or outside. The service was excellent! We felt very attended to as we sat outside. I would definitely come back here!

    I’ll never go back to this place frankly. Fun story: I worked here before. I had great coworkers and loved the job. One day, I get a call from a manager-a white lady btw. She accused me of stealing money from the register and fired me. I insisted I never took the money. She later found the money and offered me my position back. I calmly told her I could never work nor frequent a place that would be so hasty to judge and fire me without proof or listening to me. I mentioned earlier that she was white because I was the ONLY Black server there. Was racism at play? Undoubtedly. For that reason, I’ll NEVER EVER return to this establishment, and nor can I recommend them

    Went for bottomless brunch.... drinks are good and pretty strong. Given to us in a pitcher... food was very delicious. Hookah is good but strong for about an hour... Mina gave us great customer service from when we walked in until we left... place is very comfortable and welcoming.

    This place was amazing! Me and my partner went and had such a great time! Drinks are very strong and the hookah is absolutely superb!!! This place a must go to if you're in the area, even if you live in Manhattan you should still stop by at least once! 5/5 would recommend.

    Great Egyptian Place. The appetizer mezze platter is very good. Get the sheesha with the ice hose. Worth the extra $10. The sheesha is excellent. Food is made fresh so be patient. Love DJ Mina when he’s there.

    Outdoor dining setup was great, private booth with heaters, call buttons given to get the attention of a waiter, and mask up when they come in to the booth. 🍾 choice was La Luca which was nice. Food - NYE Fixed menu: Apps included Dolma (warm and nice spice flavour), Baba ghanoush, Humus and some really good Falafel served with Tahini and warm pita bread. Main course was slightly disappointing - mixed grill - the meats were over cooked, so was dry and the side of rice was unimpressive for a Mediterranean spot. The Veg option came with just additional zucchini and mushrooms grilled. The salad was probably lazily put together unfortunately - cut up romaine with a few cucumber and tomato slices. Tabouleh would have been a nice option to say the least. Dessert - now Bakhlava is a fine art, and we are a gard crowd to please when it comes to desserts we grew up eating. So, I'd give it 5/10 for effort, was just a little something sweet-ish to end the night with. The staff were very friendly and accommodating - Thank you!

    Came here on my date night because it has a “higher review” than our regular spot. We got there they were at maybe 5%-10% capacity, we asked to sit outside since it’s a beautiful evening. We asked for one of the larger tables since there was only one other one occupied out of 10 others and the waitress told us we had to order a lot of food to sit there. We graciously sat at the smaller table and waited at least 15 minutes to which the waitress never came back and we see her smoking hookah and tending to people inside. We eventually got up and left since we had been waiting 15+ mins and never got to put in an order. Just really poor service, especially for our first visit.

    Good spot! Decent Turkish Coffees, good hookah (w/ice straw). Just a little bit expensive. And when we ordered drinks they kept bringing 2 of each that was ordered in the hope to overcharge us.

    We called them at 3am and they told us to come in. We got there and ordered our drinks and hookah and paid right away. They literally grabbed the hookah out of my friend’s hands as he was smoking it, BEFORE 4am. That is THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Without any warning, they just take away hookah and drinks that we paid for. That doesn’t make any sense. Before letting people into your establishment, let them know that you’re going to confiscate the things they paid for and also include gratuity in the bill. A 5 or 10 minute warning would be nice. I work in the service industry and we would never EVER do that because we know how to treat our guests, especially when they paid a good price. HORRIBLE SERVICE. They do not care about you after you’ve given them your hard earned money. You’re better off going home and going to bed than coming here.

    I had a good time for my 1st time. Didn't try their food but the hookah was great and the vibes was perfect. Played good music and they even had a belly dancer. Wish they had more of a wine selection but overall a good time. No complaints.

    I had such a great time here and can't wait to come back! There was a live DJ who was playing a little bit of everything. I loved the vibe. The hookah was good. The french fries were delicious. Most importantly, the staff was accommodating, very friendly and attentive.

    We had a really good time at Horus. The atmosphere was super chill laidback vibes. Customer service was on point for the most part; it started out really good but as the night went on we started seeing our server less and less frequently. (For perspective: a couple sat next us and left after 30 mins of just sitting there and not having their order taken.) It took us 20 minutes to get our server's attention to close out the tab. I understand he got busy and seemed somewhat flustered. I share all this to say I’d definitely go back. The atmosphere, DJ, and hookah (which came out with 10 minutes ordering) make this spot definitely worth tapping into if you’re just tryin to cool out.

    Attended a birthday party with a group of my friends and the ambience, food, drinks, hookah, and service was all amazing! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a night out with friends! We will definitely be back soon

    1st time here with friends. Service was astronomical. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was booming. Will definitely come back.

  • 1/5 Berkay e. 1 year ago on Google
    Shisha, hookah and food was good. The manager was our waiter which he deserves 5 stars HOWEVER The other waitress (chubby one) when bringing out the food, came and bumped and hit my shoulder HARD, (didnt even say excuse me) We asked our waiter/manager to move because the couch was uncomfortable. 3 minutes later she comes with ATTITUDE saying who let you move there. She wasnt even our server…. She runs around like a maniac just disturbing the vibe and honestly looking at the reviews made me realize this problem has been going on for over 5 months now

    Food was okey, hookah was good , place was cosy to chill and manager was very nice but chubby waitress was the worst of all times. This place needs to get rid of her otherwise this place will go bankrupt soon. I am not coming back there until she leaves! Also couch we were sitting was kind a broken and very uncomfortable.

    I was there last weekend with my friends and the hookah was very good, the flavors were very good, but we had a waitress who was chubby and very extremely fatal. When we arrived, she looked at us with an attitude. the menu, that's no way to respond I wanted to order some chicken tacos she answered the same thing where she had come before and they had served me the chicken tacos she was never able to return to the table and ask if she was okay we tried to call her and she just ignored us I think she shouldn't be in a place like that if she doesn't like dealing with people I would love to go back to the place but without being served by her the worst waitress I've ever seen but everything super good I think her name is MIMI
