Cozy Cafe

Ive bee searching for nice place just to chill out and listen to nice music and ive found the place. Cozy Cafe has been the place for me over a year, i love coming out to cozy to relax and have a great time. The customer service is amazing and they treat you like family, if your ever looking for a nice spot to chill out cozy cafe is the place to be.

If you are in the mood to have a fun, chilled out night, this place is ideal during the week. It becomes more lively on the weekends, however it is still a lot of fun.

Crazy expensive and they FORCE you to order. Some hookahs were like 30bucks, and make sure you check your billl...they tack on extra fees and items!!!!!

I came here with about 20 friends on a Friday night, they forced me to order stuff that I really didn't even want.....

After that they kept sneakily picking up hookahs while we were still smoking and rushing us out!!!

At the end of the night, our bill came out to be about 620 dollars but the service was HORRIBLE...they literally kicked us out despite ordering so much!

Pros: Location

Cons: They will pickup the hookah while your smoking!

I LOVE Cozy Cafe! The staff is super friendly and always have good suggestions for the hookah flavors. I highly recommend you try it out. Besides the great hookah, Cozy has great food. I highly recommend the kofta and the lamb. And the hummus is unusually good. Also, I really like the sangria. It doesn't taste just like pure juice; you can actually taste the wine in it. Cozy Cafe always has a great crowd, no matter what night of the week it is and there's also a outdoor patio in the back which is great when the weather is nice. Fun place to go if you are a local or just visiting the city. And the prices (food, drink and hookah) are very reasonable.

Pros: Service, Inexpensive, Food

Cons: none

This is the best hookah spot to go, it always seems to be a hotspot. The hookah flavors are great and the prices are pretty good as well. Let me put it to you this way if you want to go smoke hookah Cozy's is the one and only place!

Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Hookah

Cons: None

Posted 08/09/09

It's a great place not only because of their great hookahs but mostly because of their really cozy, warm, and 1sexy1 atmosphere. However, if you dont like crowds, loud music, and rushing then go there during the week day, since Fridays and Saturdays there are extremely busy days.
The good thing is also their not expensive prices. Price of a hookah is just 15 dollars.

Pros: great 1sexy atmosphere

Dropped by with a few buddies early on a Saturday evening (~10PM). We had to wait a minute before being seated in their backyard garden area. The crowd was certainly interesting and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Our waiter, Ali, made sure were catered to well, and made sure the coal was kept fresh. The cheaper shisha is alright, but if you want the most value for your buck, you should go for the slightly more expensive "Al Fakher" branded hookahs that come in fruit bowl. Overall, a pretty nice Hookah lounge with decent service and fair prices.

Pros: Great service, wonderful environment and crowd

Cons: Can be a tad crowded, but the more the merrier!

Posted 07/25/09

If you read the two reviews before this one you can see they are the same but with different names. I beleive this is a scam to get people to go here.
I went to this place on saturday and it was nothing like the reviews said it would it was actually the total opposite.The hookahs are nasty the service is terrible and it is over priced. if you go to this place you can see it for your self.
If you order something half the staff does not speak english and they do not understand you. You have to keep on repeating yourself until they ask someone else for help. Go to a different place where you are not over paying and being scammed.

Pros: scam

Cons: scam

Being an avid hookah smoker, finding the best place to smoke in new york city was very easy!

Cozy cafe has the full middle eastern style hookah service - from the best and most creative hookahs, (including ones made out of pineapples, gresh grape tobacco, liquor based filters etc) to the best middle eastern food. Their hummus is simply great, their feta spreads and sandwiches are a great value.

In addition, the lounge has 5 different ambience seating - a bar, outside seating, an intimate cozy backroom, and two main areas. Each with its own significant feel that can cater to any mood.

All in all, a great place to

Pros: best hookah, food, great staff

Cons: None!

I was in town on a Sunday night with a friend looking to check out hookah places for my birthday and I was looking forward to checking out Cafe Khufu, but when we got there, they were closed. So since I had a coupon to Cozy Cafe, we decided to check it out. It's a pretty typical hookah place; it's small but dark with plush decor and red lighting and a flat-screen tv playing Arabic music videos. It wasn't too busy, so we were seated right away. However, we were seated at the very back right underneath the ventilation system, and it was freezing. Not very cozy for its name, but understandable.

They had a pretty interesting menu, with all the typical flavors and drinks you would expect from a moderately upscale hookah place. However, the two things that stuck out for me were the strangely-named "Viagra Hookah" which the "Shock Hookah.' The first used wine instead of water in the hookah vase, and the second apparently used liquor. We ordered a viagra hookah with watermelon shisha, even though my friend was still weirded out by the name. Our mint teas were served quickly, but mine arrived in a leaky teapot, and it was a chore pouring it. I opted to not drink it and instead let it sit prettily on my table.

When the hookah arrived, the first thing I noted was the pineapple on top. When I looked around I saw that everyone else had melon or some other type of fresh fruit-halves on top of their hookahs as well. I thought that was kinda cool. Our mouthpieces didnt fit over the hose, and they were pretty opposed to us smoking "unprotected", so they took one of ours and held it over a flame and stuck it on until the melted plastic couldnt come off. I couldn't tell whether our hookah was really filled with wine or not since they used an opaque vase, and I couldnt really taste a difference either. We couldn't really make any heavy smoke clouds or exhale O's since we were right below the fan, but I did get a good buzz after awhile. I'm not sure if it might have been caused by either the supposed wine or the nicotine content of the shisha. I'm used to smoking either herbal or low-nic shisha so that was a bit of a different experience for me.

When it came time for the bill, I showed our waiter my coupon but he had no idea what it was. He showed it to the owner, who personally came over to us to thank us for coming and that he hoped to see us again soon. I had gotten the coupon from this website for 10% off our bill, but the owner went a step further and slashed a $45 bill to $30, which is a HUGE DISCOUNT. I think he realized that if I gotten it from here, I must have read all those not-so-great reviews and he was probably trying make a positive impact. He was pretty nice when I asked him about having a party at his place, and although I admit I was skeptical when I first walked in, I didn't have a bad experience there at all. I still want to check out other hookah places around the city before I book a party but I wouldn't rule out the coming back here with friends.

Pros: Creative hookah setups, decor

Cons: One drink minimum per person, one-hosed hookahs

Posted 05/24/09

It's a nice place to be in, but as usual, the hookah is expensive. They have a nice selection of wines as well.

Pros: atmosphere

Cons: price

Posted 05/19/09

went last friday cuz my girl friend wanted to see the belly dancer .... we had fun there ,,,the hookah ,, the food ,, the drinks were great ,,

Posted 05/19/09

I visited this small spot this past weekend for some fun. When we initially got there, we had to wait but for only like 5 mins. The guy who looked like a bouncer was very nice (you wouldn't of guessed when you first saw him). The party on the first very table right near the entrance left so they sat us down right in front of the door (which I wasn't that happy) but never been here so I wasn't going to be fussy. We had two more friends joining us so the seats were left unoccupied. We got our drinks right away and our hooka (watermelon). Everything was great until this one grease ball worker (big time loser) told us if our friends don't show, they are going to give the seats up to somebody us. Totally understandable as the crowd kept getting bigger and bigger. I couldn't believe the amount of traffic coming in and out of this place! It was a bit annoying since we had the first table, the people kept leaving the door open so my wife and I were freezing a good part of the night. Going back to this grease ball, I told him to give my friends another 5 mins. So after, 15 or 20 mins, they showed up and sat with us. Everything was cool again until grease ball was going to kick us out unless we ordered two more hookahs. We were given our bill but we weren't done. They told us it was a misunderstanding so I ordered another hookah anyways (told us after 1/2 hour, hookah was no good and had to get a new one). I thought that was false because at the hookah bar me and my wife usually go to, we had the same hookah the whole night and here we are for an hour and a half and they tellin us to buy another hookah?? Seems like a scam. So going back to this grease ball, he was going to kick out another party. I don't know what the hell was wrong with this guy! If I was to go back, which most likely I won't is because of this "grease ball"!! Can't find a better word to describe him. Overall, good experience, but it only takes one person to ruin it.

Pros: Great Service, good atmosphere

Cons: One worker was rude and annoying

Posted 03/01/09

I love Cozy. The service is always excellent, everyone is always friendly and no matter what day you go be prepared to have a good time. I've met many great new people here who are now friends of mine.

They only accept cash but don't worry because they have an ATM machine.

The music is always diverse and it's loads of fun to get up and shake your thing with the belly dancer.

Pros: Great Service

Cons: None

Posted 02/28/09

We went to this bar on Saturday and i sat in the back yard and the service was amazing. First of all we walked in this place and the bouncer at the door which was a nice guy got me a seat ASAP. Eventhough me and my friends were outdoor the waiter (bawer) in the back yard was adorable and made us feel welcome. He made funny comments and treated us with respect. The service was great and we had the Knock Me Out hookah and it was amazing. the shakes in this place were also great. When you go to this place ask for Bawer and he would take care of you. Best Place i have been to in a long time

Pros: Nice People

Cons: packed

Posted 02/08/09

We went there last Saturday for the first time and were quite impressed with the service. My friends and I prefer crowded places to hangout, so it was definitely a good choice. For those of you who don't like crowded places they have a beautiful heated backyard for chilly evenings. The staff was very friendly. The DJ even played our favorite songs from our ipod. If you're there ask for TITO, he's the nicest. We were invited to come back on a weekday for a free hookah. Weekdays there are considered to be Monday through Thursday.

Pros: good service atmosphere

Cons: for big groups reservations are suggested

Posted 11/29/08

Me and my friends went here on friday and we had a astonishing time. The hookahs were superior and the customer service was perfect. We asked for our favorite waiter (baur) but he was on vacation so this other waiter named John took care of us, he was also an excellent host. the time we had here was first class. If i were to discribe this place with one word it would be "quality." I encourage people to attend this lounge.

Pros: Everything good

Cons: none

Posted 07/28/08

this saturday was the first time i went to this place and i was amazed. The people were friendly and the music was Ok. I enjoyed the music but there was a little bit to much Arabic music. Once you asked the DJ for some R&B he would say yes but never put it. besides the DJ everything else was pretty interestingand new. There was alot of hot girls for those single guys and alot of guys for those single girl. i guarantee that if you come here you would meet that special someone. great place

Pros: Lots of people

Cons: same music

Posted 07/28/08

i loveeeeeeeeeeee this place. i found it on this website and thought because the prices were so great and cheap that it was going to b run down, but its the complete opposite..beautiful decor the music is great because its so divers. service is friendly and the owner is really cool..i def recommend this place 2 lay back chill and listen to some really great music : )

Pros: music is great, service is great, PRICES FABULOUS

Cons: i hear it grets crazy packed on saturdays

Posted 04/28/08

me an my friends visited last friday the lady was wonderful, she was very polite and sweet, she olso gave us a hookah on the house, wchich was very nice, the music was also greate they played all kind of music, the best hookah i recomend is Viagra and Stellas special, the service was greate, i defenetly recomend this place friday and saturdays they have a belly dancer, me and my friends are going this friday

Pros: great servise

Posted 04/24/08

i have been to almost all the hookah bars in the lower east side and without a doubt this is the best one. first of all, they have the best tasting hookahs around and the atomsphere is something fresh and comfortable. I have been to this place twice and each time i go it gets better and better. its a place where u can take ur friends and or your girlfriend. they do ask for IDs, if u want beer which is good because you dont have drunk teenagers rolling around you. the music is nice and the plasma TV on the walls showing music videos are outstanding. P.S if you go to this place try the Viagra hookah which is made in a pineapple or try the Ali special you will not regret it.

Pros: Atmosphere and hookah

Cons: no credit cards accepted

Posted 04/02/08

My friend and I found this place randomly on line and were not sure what to expect. But I can say that this place truly lives up to its name of being cozy. The atmosphere was so relaxed with the nice red couches and music from all over the world, which leaves no time to feel bored with what you are hearing. To top it off the manager and the workers were so cool and treated us really well, like a customer should be treated. Better than anywhere else I have been. This is definitely a new chill spot for us and we will be returning on the regular. Thanks for everything Sherif, including the wine.

Posted 03/26/08

I've been a couple of times and this is a great place. I like that it is a true hookah bar in the sense that they admit as many as will be be seated and try not to let the place overcrowd. Music is always great, the owner & all the staff are really nice & friendly. For weekends, I recommend reserving a table and getting there before 12 since they always fill up. Weekdays it's intimate enough for a romantic night or just a close group of friends. FYI, it's 18 & over but don't expect to be served unless you have ID, no matter how "old you really are or look". They're friendly but run a legit business! My new favorite place!! My tip - the watermelon or cherry hookah are the best!!

Pros: Service, Ambience, Location (off the beaten path), Comfortable seating

Cons: They only serve beer (but a great selection) & a limited wine selection

Posted 03/21/08

cozy cafe have the best hookah in town great place to just chill and relax and one of the best hookah they have is apple. and wow one day i was there with some of my friend an we meet this guy named terrence and he was eattin the hot coals that was just great to see oh my god ..and also terrence firiend he was the man at maken smoke ring he make like 40 smoke ring in one puff, they were really friendly i think terrence friend name was george ,,,,but anyways the food at cozy is just great is the best food that i ever try in a hookah bar .. the music is a mix of everything i like it very much . will i really recommend cozy cafe if u really into hookah or just want to have a good time ..

Posted 03/16/08

My friends and I went to the Cozy Cafe this week. We had a bit of trouble finding it (as the sign is pretty small), but once we got in we were seated right away (they actually let us chose where we wanted to sit). It's a relatively small place lit mostly by candle, and the tv's on the wall's (playing everything from jay-z to Egyptian music). I wouldn't recommend going here if you are looking for a filling dinner. They have a small food menu (salads, chicken wraps ect), lots of drinks. Plus about 70 hookah flavors. The food took a considerable time to come out, but I think they do it so they don't rush you with the hookahs. They were very attentive with clearing our plates and coming over to change the coals in the hookah. They gave us a free platter of desserts, and upgraded our second hookah to their special "viagra" hookah (pineapple holding the tobacco on top) for free. The guys were very friendly, offering to take pictures for us. It was very mellow and I had a great experience, but I have a feeling it could get pretty hectic on the weekends since there is limited seating. They recommended calling if you have a large group so they could save a section for you. I would highly recommend going.. ps. their apple flavor hookah is great!!

Pros: Long list of hookah flavors, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: none

Posted 02/19/08

This place is just great. Friendly service and many flavors of Hooka. My boyfriend and I stopped in on a monday night and the owner was sincere and charming. We will definatly be back with friends! I hear its great on fridays and saturdays. They are open till 3! Enjoy!

Pros: Nice staff. good hooka. great atmosphere!

Cons: none

Posted 02/03/08

I've been there a couple of times in my life and let me tell you I'm convinced it's the best. The service is always quick and the waiters are terrific! Every Saturday night at 12 PM an arabic belly dancer comes and puts on a great show. Highly recomended to have a good time with buddies.

Pros: Great Service.

Cons: Sometimes, too crowded to be seated. Try to reserve tables if your a large number.

Posted 12/14/07

this place is amazing especially on weekdays and after 2AM they play great melow music... i highly reccomend this for anyone... and if you are there ask for baur he is the nicest.

Pros: service great hookah flavors

Cons: crowded on weekends before 2AM

Posted 08/09/07

Amazing little spot with a friendly staff and quick service. Simply perfect on the quiet weeknights, less so on weekends but still worth the trip!

Pros: Staff, Hookah

Cons: Crowded, Cramped
