Between Lilys Resturaunt and bar Sahara Lounge is a nice mix of music good drnks and dancing oh lets not forget O2lounge downstairs

Great Customer service & Amazing Food.Lentil Soup is a hit.. Salmon plate & Falafels were also better than expected

Drinks were good.. waitress was delightful.. but the whole experience felt more like a Southside club than a lounge. Might try a different night

Great drinks great music, and great service. I would definitely go back.

Very laid back atmosphere and reasonable

It was my first time in there i had a blast

Shayla is the BBE Bestestsis Bartender Ever

Came to this place about a year ago, I think our servers name was Deanna she made our experience great. This time when I went they acted like she never worked there. It took us forever to sit down because seating is very limited, the people at the door are basically pressuring you to get a section. After about 30 minutes we were able to sit down and I ordered some wings that tasted like they were cooked in the microwave with some sauce thrown on them. My server had an attitude when I asked her what was up with the food. Hookah was decent. The music was the highlight of the night. The servers add on a 20% tip which is probably why they just walk around all night. Definitely won’t be getting my money again.

Nice chill enviroment

Music is awesome, not enough seating and its a club that serves hookah, not a hookah lounge like we were looking for. For young people definitely not a 30 plus crowd. Also they allowed several people to smoke weed inside the building.

Great place to have good times with friends. Customer service is great&fast, come and check it out for yourself. Shout out to kovan and Rinas some cool peoples to meet.

Overpriced hookah lounge. I did have a good time here. I didn’t like seating arrangement and there was a lack of coordination between the staff. We had to ask for the same thing several times and at one point I had to literally get up and get it myself. The only reason I gave it a 3 was because it was an enjoyable night.

Friday nights have the best dj! Music was lit as always!

Nice place to relax and enjoy music.

The hookah is actually good... probably the best hookah I’ve had in Atlanta.

Very boring, nobody was there. Manager was extremely rude as well. Don’t waste your time.

Decent place. The atmosphere here just isnt for me, but I hope others have a better experience.

20 to 30 parking$10 to enterHookah and two drinks cost $60 something dollars... This place is way over priced., crowd was nice...seating is limited, Our hookah wasnt good, was burnt within 5 mins of having it ...

Great place to hang out

Me and my friend went out for some drinks and hookahs along for a good time. Got there around 9pm, we were the only two. But around late 10pm, 11pm thats when people started coming in. We had an awesome time. Good hookah and drinks along with good music. And they only have wings for food and no outside food allowed. Also it is 21 and up.

Hoodtastic!!!!! Always a good time. Good music. Service is slow sometimes but overall a good time.

Went on a Friday night.Parking lot has about 10 spaces in the front which cost $20 or $10 to park in back of tnt building. I didnt have cash but the parking lot attendants had swipe capabilities on their phones.$10 to get in the lounge.Right side open seating. (2 TVs)Left side for VIP$48 for 1 long island and a 2 flavor hookah.20% surcharge on all hookah.

Tiny space yet chic and intimate use. Went for a Halloween party and had an amazing time. Parking is typical with a lot in the back of the space.

I had an amazing experience, very honest and made me feel comfortable. No pressure to commit and exsplained everything to a t.

I went to Sahara to see whether there was any validity to the reviews Ive seen online. I went in with the benefit of the doubt that it would be an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately it was not.The venue is rather small. Two rooms separated by an archway. I went on a Saturday night around midnight, paying the $10 cover charge at the door. The ambience is very urban. Rap music floods the venue from the small DJ booth in the corner by the bar. After waiting nearly five minutes at the bar, I paid for 2 Heinekens at $6 a piece, before walking around to find a seat. But there wasnt any. Packed with well over 50 people, seating was only enough to hold about 20 and was primarily for hookah users. The booths which lined the wall costs $350, which to be honest is about $275 too much. I left after only spending 20 minutes inside.For a club the size of my apartment, Id rather stay at home, listen to Future on Pandora and crack open a 6-pack from the local package store. Just disgraceful. I will NOT be coming back.

Dj plays semi good songs

Bre was our server. She made our experience so pleasant. Great service, so ask for Bre! Laid back atmosphere on a Tuesday. If you wanna debrief after a long work day, this is the spot!

Great hooka spot. Best in Atlanta if ya ask me. Only one I go to.

Sahara is a must stop if your in Buckhead. New ownership and newly renovated has been very positive. I have been a few times now and appreciate the variety of hookah flavors. Plus it is always nice to be able to have a great drink at the same time.Always a decent amount of folks there, so make sure if you want a prime spot in a comfortable booth go early, but there is definitely ample amount of room.Staff and service has been top notch. It is a trendy lounge with excellent music and vibe.Plus if your lucky you will be joined by a celebrity. :-)

This place is a hole in the wall, in the most literal sense. The interior is poorly kept with holes in most of the seating. The service is horrible, the servers walk past time and time again because they add a 20% service charge regardless, so they feel there is no need to work for their tip. The drinks are watered down and expensive. There is one stall for women, and the security guard banged on the door yelling to have me come out after about 45 seconds because there was a line. How about add more stalls instead of timing. I will never give them another $10 entry fee or go back. Dont waste your time!

Awesome place. Whether you want a bite to eat, want to listen to good music, or want to hookah- this place offers all three! Very attentive servers and very clean establishment. Definitely worth checking out.

This place is not worth the drive nor the $10 parking fee or $10 entrance. For real grown sexy fun go to Ten ATL!

Its not like it used to be in 2013 . Its not upscale and classy anymore. Its become rather ratchet and too many young ones on Friday and Saturdays now. The new hostesses and servers suck. They barely check up on you anymore. Completely lost me and my money. Will never return again.

This experience starts around 9 on a Wednesday so take is as you will.A bit expensive for what you get but pretty good.Pros:-Decent music selection-Shisha is pretty fresh-Drinks are really stiffCons:-Music is really loud-No second check on flavor choice (loud music is to blame I think. More to follow)-drinks are smaller than water cups from McDonalds-empty AFSo I arrived and knowing what I like I asked for mint chocolate from fakher with an ice base. They where out of chocolate and asked what I wanted instead (still good so far) so I say ok, Ill have pirates cave then (pirates cave is a great starbuzz flavor if you havent tried it) they bring out a mini hookah that is MINT with a sprinkling of fruity.. I understand the confusion which is why Im still giving a 4 start rating but who TF mixes mint with a pre-mixed fruity?? Especially a 50/50 mix? Im used to places giving quizzical looks and asking if you are sure when you do unsavory mixes, that could have potentially me from having to order a second hookah so as to not have another unsavory mix of flavors.As far as occupancy goes, from 10:20 (when I arrived) to 11 (when I closed out the first time) I was the only customer. But 11 seems to be the magic hour and now there are 10+ consumers.For any one that read all of that, a price expectation:1 hookah+ice base ($5)5 cocktails (vodka red bulls)~$75In conclusion:Check it out. Its the best hookah lounge I found in Atlanta, mostly because of its relaxed environment and strong

This place definitely sucks . I used to go here on occasion but it had definitely gone down hill . Service is terrible. Parking is $10 out back and $20 in front ... $10 to get in butnyour paying for nothing. Furniture is terrible .. food is gross. Don’t waste your time here ... it’s not worth it

It was very nice. It was chill but not boring.

Decent hookah lounge. Expensive entry and drink prices. Caters to a younger crowd.

Not a place to go if your trying really party. Limited on seating. Food choices or horrible. Eat before you go. I will not be going back thou

I kinda like the lil joint...First time I ever went here was with one of my homegirls and the vibe was nice that night and decent crowd (may or june 2016)...I went back since then 3 or 4 times. Sad part is it seems to be going downhill...it sucks because on each occasion that Ive been back I hyped the place up to my peoples, we get there and they are looking at me like uhhh nah. Especially everytime the guy at the door says $10 to enter. Smh I definitely agree with other reveiws on the fact that the parking and price to get in is whack. It should probably be free to enter and $5 to park! Im having a birthday party in the city next saturday and want a spot to hit afterwards but this may not be it, I dont wanna be embarrassed in front of all my people on my birthday...DOES ANYONE READING THIS HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF PLACES TO GO IN THAT AREA??

This was the worst lounge Ive ever been to. I went here to celebrate my birthday and it turned out to be the worst. If it werent for my friends I probably wouldnt have had a good night. They are very overpriced. They made me pay for something I never received. They made me pay for hookah when people never brought out new coals. Overall this place sucks, and I recommend nobody go here.

A Hidden Gem fantastic food everything you order cant go wrong salads are extremely fresh friends and family over they loved it as well

Really nice vibe and great time. The hookah guy was awesome. Keep the him.

Horrible staff and management. Paid $10 to park and $10 to get in. Only food served is wings and fails to inform customers that they’re baked instead of fried. Menu said crispy but they tasted boiled. Asked waitress for manager several times throughout the night yet she never came until the tickets were brought out. Manager first said she would take the nasty wings off the ticket then later changed her mind. The worst hookah lounge in the city, don’t waste your time or money.

Needs to be fixed up, a little dirty and pretty run down. The sheesha was very low quality and tasted nothing like the skittles flavor that was advertised. You would be better going to a tobacco shop and smoking at home.

Great service, nice place to chill and pregame

Great atmosphere, but unsafe parking in back lot. My car window was busted out and I lost a lot of items from the break in.

My experience was HORRIBLE! It couldn’t get any worst, not only did I pay for parking at this facility but my car was broken into and I believe the staff had something to do with it. If they didn’t, they weren’t concerned at all about how it happened. I had my car broken into and my belongings stolen out of my car. I’m not even from Atlanta and my first experience here was just terrible. If I could get this place shut down I would. I wouldnt want anyone to be put in my position. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE! I’m working my hardest to get this place out of business. It was awful. Every bit of it! DONT GO HERE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your a hookah head they serve real coconut charcoal with there hookah, compared to a lot of fake instant charcoal out here. Great night life and the hostesses are the best

Great place to chill out and vibe. DJ had the spot lit and on point. Could use a touch of crowd control. Overall though the spot is fire.

I absolutely love Sahara. I have the greatest time every time that I go. I have been going every Friday with my best friend for about 7-8 months now. Its become our little thing for girl time. Rocky is amazing and so is the owner. They treat us like family there. No better hookah spot than sahara.

Always have a great time at Sahara. Great hookahs and good drinks. A low key spot to hangout with friends on a weekday or even a great after party spot on weekends.

I didnt like this place at all. Im from out of town and I came here expecting to have a good time. The workers told us it was places to seat and there wasnt and we didnt realize until after we paid our money. The owner had no clue when seats would be open and didnt want to give our money back after we wanted to leave. The place was small and has some weak ass music. Back home is better and I wont be returning here. P.s I finally got my money back when I pointed out to the owner that there was no signs saying you couldnt get a refund.

Chill setting, nasty hookah, our server was high asf. 10 to park & 10 to get in. Which is expected cos it’s atlanta.

Black security using racial slurs towards Hispanics. Here’s a tip, if you’re going to call a group of Hispanics “gueyes” learn how to pronounce it right and understand not all Hispanics are Mexicans. Minorities using racial slurs towards other minorities, weak asf.

This place is very nice upscale liquor bar, drinks reasonably priced.

Nice chill hookah lounge with plenty of drinks and awesome staff. The place gets pretty lit on the weekends. They are open during the week as well.

Its really a nice chill spot service is really great

Just go home if you have no where else to go. This lounge is for kids 18+. It’s chill, but the hookah is cheap. Hence why you may get a headache. I hate it and I’m not coming out. The music ok, but they just played a song that sounds like Kidz Bop

Ive been to numerous hookah bars, and have friends that own some in different cities. This place is pretty chill, more of a hip hop scene not so much an arabian or sahara feel. Good atmosphere, hookah was a small cost $20+ its a $5.00 for ice cubes in your hookah. They need to get ice mouth pieces.

Solid hookah and decently priced drinks. Very loud but I think thats the atmosphere they are going for

I visited Sahara lounge on a Saturday and this is the worst experience Ive ever had. Every time I go it has been a first come first serve lounge when it comes to seating. After paying I noticed it was packed and asked if there was a waiting list and I was told I could sit when someone got up. When I tried I was then told I had to buy a bottle, but I wasnt told that at the door. I asked another staff member they then told me to sit down at a table was $350. At this point I was livid because three people told me three different things after waiting an hour with a party of seven. I left and will never return and I dont recommend anyone else visit. Very unprofessional (sketchy)staff Im still trying to figure out how anyone is supposed to order food, drink, and smoke hookah standing up ??

Great service! Great drinks

Had a blast!

Lil old building but great service

Ive been here a few times, and none have been memorable. The service is spotty and I had no clue Hookah was this expensive. Considering their still in business is surprising to me, plus there are around 5 hookah bars within a few blocks from there. I remember language being somewhat of a barrier. Proceed with caution, and you will not likely see me there.

Payed 20$ for basically nothing. I thought that maybe I would have been told that it would a little while to receive or hookah or drinks but I didnt. I was under the impression that I would get some kind of service but I didnt. :(

Great vibe after 10pm. DJ. Good music. Good hookah. $10 to park.

It has a cool atmosphere but charging $2 bucks to get more charcoal is tacky to me! I live in Boston something like that should be included on how your market your product & services

Fell in on a slow nite. However you feel a grown folk vibe.

Nice atmosphere good music. Was tired didnt eat the food and feel asleep

Horrible customer service from the manager Issac. I spoke with the manager Issac over the phone who informed me that I could get a section that night for $350 that would contain up to 15 people, 1 bottle, and a complimentary bottle for the birthday person. He never communicated to me that I would have to be there before 10pm or my party would have to pay a cover charge at the door. When I arrived he then tried to say that each person would have to pay a cover charge. I thought this was absurd due to the fact that I was already paying $350 for the section and because that was not communicated over the phone. When I tried to speak to him about the logic behind the issue he became really rude and acted as if he didn’t need my money or want to hear what I had to say. I do understand how this business works but the rude and disrespectful behavior displayed of the manager Issac is the sole reason why I will never visit this establishment again and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else do either.

Hookah and drink minimum per person. It makes sense to keep people from loitering, but the interior isnt kept nice enough to warrant such high drink prices. Even a PBR will run you $6. Lots of burnt holes in the bench fabric.

DO NOT GO THERE ! I REPEAT DO NOT GO THERE ! Thursday usually closes at 3 but since the manager issac said it was dead in there he closed it down at 1! We didnt even finish smoking our whole hookah because we was only there for 30 minutes ! I still had to pay full price and Issac was a douche! I asked him could I speak to him...he told me pay your tab first then you can come to me! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! He was tooo DRUNK too give a damn ! NEVER AGAIN !

Was looking for a nice hookah bar to go to on a sunday while visiting on vacation ans this place was definately not it. The time said they were open until 3am however when I got there around 12:45 I was informed by the bouncer that they were going to close at 1:30 because of the lack of money the place made. I will say the music was good the drinks were way over price 12 dollars for a small cup that was worth maybe 6. Not to mention didnt even vet a chance to try the hookah tables were filled place was packed and there was no service. I asked one of the waitresses how could we get a hookah after watching her bring someone a hookah and give another table a refill she tells me they not bringing anymore out since they were about to close. Ironic when you just brought it out to a group that was already sitting around an empty table. Overall I would not recommend this place unless you like the ratchet atmosphere. Never returning again!

One of my favorite places to go to with my girls on a Saturday. Great hookah, drinks, and music.

I love them and going on my birthday again this time I can drink see u September 26 2015

The menu has certain prices and says they automatically include 20% gratuity on each check. Fine. But when it was time to pay, our server -Amina I believe- claimed that the new lounge owner increased the prices but didnt change the menus and that now tip was NOT included. Coincidentally, the bill total seemed as if the menu was RIGHT and 20% tip was included....Either she was lying (which is what my emailed receipt says....so the new owner didnt change it in the system either?...right.) or they just practice bad business.Also, when first asked about the price difference, she claimed it was due to taxes.. She only gave the menu price story once I questioned them having a 20% tax smhI used to like this place. But now I dont know. Guess it just depends on who you get/what kind of night theyre having!

Ask for Nia and Samarra for waitresses they are amazing, funny, and knowledgeable about what they do and the area..... disregard the furniture lol and enjoy!!!!!

Poor service, bad music, seriously don’t waste your time or money.

Very Laid Back. .. Best Hookah And Drinks I Have Ever Had ... Im was there Saturday and ill be back today ... MONDAY !!!!

Horrible horrible business practices! The prices on the menu dont match the prices they tell you and when I went to pay with my card, the girl said oh we only accept cards with the chips but we have an Atm. I went to their Atm and the first transaction cancelled, but the second one went through. I asked her if it was going to charge me twice and she said no since no money came out. When I checked my account the first transaction took the money out but then put it right back in. Then it took out double the amount I actually got plus the $2.50 fee twice....oh but Im getting my money back!!! Moral of the story: rigged and bootleg all around!!!

Ive been to sahara hook lounge many times, roughly about 8 times and ive never had a problem until my latest visit.Theyre not organized.They dont carry half the things they have on the menu.Even the employees dont speak to fond of the place.Fri and Sat are the busiest nights there, they barely check up on you once your seated.The environment hospitalized me, i recently was released from the hospital due to bacteria that lead me to go blind in my left eye. It didnt leave permanent damage but the amount of pain i went through was unbearable. IM NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!

Great atmosphere

This is a great hangout spot to chill with friends literally

Small and quaint, not much happening on Thursday .

So fun. Grown and sexxxxy

A very good staff

Like Different choices of hookahs but could have more then one food choice

Nice atmosphere and definitely some of the best hookah

Good brews, good food, great times. Very friendly staff

Door says open til 3 and so does Google. drove all the way here at 1:30 am and was closed

2 stars for music....$10 at the door...$10 parking in the back $20 to park in the front and is a younger crowd...not worth all that money for watered down drinks

Run down place, not worth the morney.

They are over priced and only cater to people that are paying for bottle service. I came in with a party of 13 and they made us stand in the middle of the floor because we didnt want to pay $430.00 for a small bottle of wine and a hookah they only allow 3 people to smoke on

Small but nuce

One of my favorite Lounges in Buckhead

Good hookah

I Went for my birthday customer service was terrible ! I paid My money thinking that I was going To be seated as soon as I walked in. Once paying I was told I had to find my own seating and I stood up for almost 30 minutes while employees just looked at me . They didn’t offer no refunds therefore I was cheated out of my money !

Okay atmosphere, way overpriced and flavors werent that great. I havent been back since.

Decent enough
