| - The hookah lounge at Olive is fantastic! I went for the first time last Saturday night (6/1/13). It has more of a nightclub feel than a casual hookah lounge, which is perfect for a Saturday night. They played a great mix of current and old school songs, and as the night went on, more on more people were dancing on the stage. They also had bellydancers.
The service was amazing (especially compared to other hookah places in town). They came by constantly to take drink orders, food orders, give us new coals, etc. We didn't order much food because none of us were very hungry, but what we ordered was delicious: baba ganoush (this one was the best), hummus with meat and pine nuts, lentil soup, labneh, chicken fingers. I didn't like their pita bread - it was really thin and I prefer doughier pita.
The hookahs were smooth and really long-lasting. We ordered a jasmine-mint and one of the special ones from the menu (I can't remember the name, but it was all of our favorite). They kept coming by to change the coals and shake when necessary. We didn't stay too long and eventually left to go to aria. But overall, a great experience and we would go back!
