After having discovered the wonderful world of hookah lounges, I've realized I'm addicted! I've been trying different places and so far, I must say Samah's is by far the nicest place I've been to followed by Chigara's. The problem I've found with Chigara's is that its a bit too "white", catering to the Wicker Park area, no doubt having to water down sheesha to make it meet their clientele's need. Whereas Samah's decor is done so intricately and quite boldly I might add and the music is so relaxing, the perfect mix of desi and arab tunes. I haven't had a chance to try out Mr. Sheesha's in Glendale Heights but I've heard its a decent place. Neffertiti is also another place that I didn't like all that much-- it seemed too normal.

Other than places, experimenting with flavors is always good. What flavors do you all receomend? The last flavor I ended up doing was rose and cherry, my very first flavors so it was nostalgic to return to my first flavors. I've found mango to be taste a lot stronger than most and I'm curious to find out how the mocha tastes. If you're into a more intense flavor, I would say go with jasmine and double apple.

So what flavors and places do you all suggest?
