    This lounge has an incredible and large amount of shisha. You have the option of choosing your own flavors or simply having the staff mix something up for you. Often times during the week the atmosphere is relaxing and nice to hang with friends. It's also nice that weekends are usually more like a party atmosphere and can be SO fun. The different DJs are always fun and open to requests! I feel that the staff are very accomodating and it's pretty easy to meet new people. Great place!

    * This place is where under 21 people who love Jersey Shore and idolize Snooki & The Situation come and hang out (hey nothing wrong with that, I heart Snooki!).

    * Awesome selection of flavored tobaccos. The Cosmopolitan flavor is the best one. If you don't like "sweet or fruity" tobacco flavors then this is a perfect one for you.

    * They have theme parties here and the first time I visited, they had a Pajama party. Many shirtless guys and girls in pajamas. I'm pretty sure no one was hooking up and they made me feel so old because I don't think any of them was older than 25.

    * You can also play with bubbles here. You inhale your hookah, hold it in your mouth (that's what she said), blow a bubble out of a soapy plastic device on the table. It's quite a challenge, if you are an amateur like me, most likely you will end up with a soapy mouth :D.

    * They have a DJ who spins Top 40, dance music, techno, rap, and r&b.

    Al Narah Hookah Lounge made me feel like I was 18 again. For a moment, I didn't think about anything else besides the hookah, try to blow bubbles, and watching shirtless guys walk back and forth. Oh yeah, even Snooki will be jealous of me.

    Pros- Totally bangin' staff.

    Cons- Prepubescent white boys "break dancing" to the DJ. Every time.

    I am a regular hookah smoker but after the Oregon Law passed about not being able to smoke tobacco indoors, many of my favorite hookah lounges closed down.

    I was referred to Al Narah by my friend and went for the Bikini/Beach Party event. It's ridiculous to pay for a cover charge and be required to buy a $2 Kirkland brand water (beverage) in order to smoke a bowl. The hookah bowl I was given was obviously used before me. If you touch the top of the bowl, if its a new bowl it should be a bit soft. But this one was crispy and was obviously smoked before-hand. We didn't complain, because after we messed around with the bowl the hookah smoked fine.

    After about an hour of smoking, I started to get water in the hose. I complained to the girl working there and she simply blew the water out and said, "oh no more water." If water is getting into the hose in the first place, there is obviously something wrong with the hookah itself. I got water in my mouth multiple times. I ended up leaving and regretting spending $5 cover, $2 for Kirkland water and $13 for a used hookah. Also, the coals are not hookah coals at all. They are some sort of broken up barbeque coal and ash out in about 20 minutes.

    Great hookah, big selection! Only thing that kind of bit was you have to purchase a beverage. But at least bottled water is only two bucks. But it's two people per hookah like most lounges. Nice hanging out music.

    Had a great time, no cover when I went must have been a special event. My hookah was great no water in the hose for me, I had the white grape flavor and loved it!! Plus the place was packed great atmosphere!! Will be back!!
