This place is a really lovely intimate lounge setting. However, one of the many problems is that its almost impossible to get in on thursday through sunday night. They really don't know how to manage the setting arrangement or accommodate waiting guests. They don't even take reservations on those nights, regardless of the size of your group or the amount of money that you could potentially be spending in there. This weekend I waited up to an hour before my group and I were seated. The menu is strangely overpriced and you have to be careful on what you're ordering. The sheesha while good is not of the highest quality. Additionally the lounge is located in a rather unattractive area of allston and if you're going during the weekend you have to park a block down the street at walgreens. If you're going to try this place go during the week but don't go in a large group. Take no more than four people. The staff is very nice and will wait on you hand and foot.
One of many things the Sheesha Lounge has mastered to perfection, it's how to make signature mouth-watering Hookah Blends, that match perfectly to go with a cup of strong Moorish Mint Tea. Yummy!Here you can rest your legs in a cozy setting, browse through books and enjoy Cheese Cake while smoking some apple, rose, mint or an assortment of many other flavors; and let your mind wander to North Africa - or anywhere else exotic for that matter. I love this place!This is one of those must-have places introducing new cultures to Boston. I usually migrate here from Harvard Business School, it only takes minutes to find this hidden gem.

The place is over priced, really dirty. The decor is awful, it's a bunch of old musty couches and the lights are extremely dim. The hookahs are old too and barely pull (try smoking a properly cleaned hookah, the smoke should flow smoothly). The music they play is awful too, low-budget looking place. Don't take your date here, she/he will be far from impressed
