    Used to be a nice place when they had the life entertainment. Little bit expensive but its ok I undrstand it coast money to have life entertainment. But one thing that am not happy is after they stoped the life entertainment its steal expensive. I will diffently go back if they bring the life entertainment again

    I have celebrated my birthday at Arabia Cafe this past weekend and must say that it is truly a unique place - the atmosphere, the lighting, the music was amazing. I have been to many hookah places in Chicago, but this one has the best hookah with a huge selection of over 25 flavors, Starbuzz (I think?) The belly dancer brought out my cake with a candle and was dancing for my whole table and even gracefully agreed to take pictures with us. Just when I thought the evening couldn't get any better, the owner sent a huge plate of bakhlava to our table. I must say, this was my first time at Arabia and I will definitely be back. Arabia has made a very favorable impression on me. Thanks.

    Arabia Cafe was such a disappointment! There are so many hidden charges - each hookah (and the menu is severely limited) costs $20 and only two people may smoke from it. They give you only 2 mouthpieces. There is an extra $5 per person if you are drinking your own alcohol. And another $5 per person for a terrible "belly dance" performance that lasts about 5 minutes. Two weeks ago 18 of us went to Sigara Hookah Lounge and our total bill was $186.00. They serve lots of interesting hookahs - for example, Rose infused with Red Wine or Mint infused with Rum. At Arabia the total bill for 5 people was $162. No onle likes leaving a place knowing that you've been ripped off. Arabia Cafe is one such place. I would not recommend this venue to anyone.

    I went to Arabia Cafe this past weekend and was not impressed at all. It seemed that everyone there knew eachother and you only got service if you were arabic. I think they are extremely racist against blacks, americans, and minority. I had visited them back in april and was very pleased with my experience but now it is not the same.

    Arabia Cafe is a great place to go and relax smoke some hookah and listen to some arabic music. They serve coffee, espressos, arabic coffee and Moroccan mint tea.

    I went there friday and saturday and they were packed, they have a singer come in and a belly dancer. I had a great time.

    I loved it! Hookah was excellent and well priced ($15). They served these monstrous, freshly made smoothies for $4.50, which tasted amazing. The people running it were extremely friendly and took very good care of their customers. I will definitely be returning!

    Arabia cafe is the place to be, I really enjoyed tha atmosphere here, both the food and the service are great, don't forget to try a moroccan pot of mint tea with hookah if you ever think about coming here.
