We were in a desperate search for a hookah joint and stumbled upon Awtash. To be honest, I was about to abort the plan - with the loud lounge music and the decor... the place looked kinda douchey.
But we pushed in and after asking to not be seated by the speakers, we were seated in the semi-private back room. First off, once you're away from the loud DJ - this place is pretty nice. It's a laid back Middle Eastern vibe with lots of big tables and couches and pillows. The shisha we had was tasty and the staff was on the ball about replacing our charcoal. The waitresses came by frequently to ask if we needed anything else. All around, the staff was dope.
And we were there on a Friday night and they had $4 tall cans of MGD Light. I know - I know - it's crap beer. But for $4 - I'll drink it.
Not bad at all, will be back.
