“ I was hungry after work and was searching for something tasty that wasnt fast food. I get off at 11 pm so theres not much to choose from. I came across this restaurant and called to double check that that their kitchen was still open as it was getting late. There was no answer but I shortly got a text saying that it was them and I asked if they could still serve us food and they could! I was in the mood for grilled kofte kebab, while my friend chose the hummus with bread. The meat was grilled to perfection. It came with a lot of sides hummus, bread, rice, pickled cabbage and jalapenos, onions, grilled tomato and chili pepper. It was the perfect balance of tangy, spicy to go pair with the savory meat. We chose to dine in the lounge area, which was incredibly charming. The neon signs and textured walls provided a perfect backdrop for taking pictures. Husain and his lady coworker provided us with the best service. They even gave us baklava on the house. Im happy that there is now a new late night option for me. I cant wait to try the rest of the menu. ”
“ Amazingly tasty food, perfect hookahs, magical atmosphere here and service above and beyond. This is one of the best lounges in Bay Area and I find easy to relax here after long working day. ”
“ Found this lounge randomly while trying to meet with friends for a double date and we were all pleasantly surprised by how amazing the vibes are. From the outside it doesnt look like much to be honest, but the lounge is not only beautiful with a great combination of music but so comfortable inside. We chose the couch seating area in the middle of the lounge and are currently still enjoying our time here. If you want to find a new hookah lounge to try out, definitely come here to Lava Hookah Lounge Grill. The restaurant side of the establishment will be open soon but we loved the chai tea along with the gummy bear lemon mint hookah. The owner happily changed our head of hookah free of charge as well. 1010 recommended ”
“ This was our first experience at Lava Restaurant, next to the Hookah Lounge. It was an amazing culinary event. We went in for Kunefe and ended up with walnut baklava my favorite type, lamb kebab, and chicken kebab plates. Both the lamb and the chicken were prepared fresh, they were really tasty, and the plate comes with babaganush, humus, pickled red cabbage, fluffy saffron rice, roasted tomatoes, and roasted jalapeno. And of course, pita bread. Hussein, the chef, was also the server, as we were there in between lunch and dinner, so no one else was there. He is a very good chef, and he prepared our kunefe fresh. Think Dubai chocolate deconstructed, and with salty melted cheese inside yum! Do yourself a favor, and be adventurous. You wont regret it! ”
“ Came here on a late Thursday night with my friend and was immediately greeted with a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The staff was so kind and accommodating, especially Hassan Im unsure of the correct spelling. I originally was craving for their mango smoothie, but unfortunately they were all out of fruits for the day since they only use the freshest produce in their dishes. Hassan immediately recommended the lemon mint smoothie and I was definitely not disappointed. It was quite delicious and refreshing. I also ordered the hummus with pita as a light late night snack, which was creamy, fragrant, and flavorful. Their baklava was also my favorite part of our meal only because baklava is one of my favorite desserts! Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know. I will definitely be returning again. ”
“ The pictures dont do justice of how incredible this place is. From the food to the service, you are taken care of by the owner and his team. He uses highly graded hookahs and the tobacco selection is top tier .. dont even get me started with the shawarma x curly fries combo.. to die for!!! Will continue coming back also get the lemon mint ! ”
