If you're in the mood for Mediterranean food and hookah, look no further! Nara is located on the more Western portion of Houston and I wanted to give it a try after some friends recommended it and boy was I glad I did. I loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating. The server is always nice and greeting. I won't speak much about attentiveness because she's the only one whom I ever see serving the entire restaurant so hats off to her for holding the store down! Food is always good when I go so no complaints there. We typically opt to pair the food with the hookah and it hits every time. Hookah blows nicely and the flavors are present. Most recently tried the 101010 and lovedddddd it. Heads up there is automatic gratuity applied to your bill. Can't wait to revisit and I definitely recommend to anyone in the mood for Med food and hookah!

Stopped here on a late night looking for food. The food was exactly what we needed to eat. I had a chicken shawarma.

EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD AND FAST HERE Especially after a night out of drinking with your friends this is a great place to debrief and have amazing food. I order the chicken Shawarma with a side of rice and the drink Kasamiro is to die for!!

Very casual hookah spot. Stays open till 4 or 5 am. I come here sometimes thinking it's a great place to study only to realize that the wifi rarely works. Otherwise solid place to get good hookah. Nice place to play boardgames with friends as well. The space is big enough to accommodate large groups. Haven't really tried the food so can't comment on that.

Came to Houston for a short weekend and was recommended to this place. Everything I had was amazing. No alcoholic beverages but the mint lemonade I highly recommend. Our waiter Rawad was amazing and gave great recommendations. The hookah was smooth and well worth it. It did not disappoint!

Good place. My best friend likes the hookah and food here. I like the tea, smoothies and food. Not too much for the Smokey environment but I'll deal with it on occasions for good company. The manager/owner/staff Akhmed (not sure if spelled right) was pretty cool. Tabouli and chicken hummus was delicious. Other people liked their take on cheese pizza (it's called something else though).

This hookah lounge is the only place I am willing to smell hookah for the sake of the food, drinks, and desserts. Their mint lemonade is the texture of a slushy, it is my go to drink whenever I'm there. Their chai pot is good, compared to other chais I've had in the general Houston area this one has a stronger tea flavor. As for food, I usually get the philly cheesesteak-look, I know we live in Texas and I'm eating a cheesesteak at a Mediterranean hookah bar. It hits the spot and it automatically comes with fries. I highly recommend it if you're craving something close to a burger but you don't want a burger. Their kenafa is made to order, so the wait can range from 10-20 minutes. But it is 100% worth the wait. I order it every time I'm there. Tips are automatically included and there are no cups of water, only water bottles. The restrooms are a bit smelly but that's pretty much my only complaint. It can get really hazy, but you're in a hookah bar so don't be surprised lol.
