I would never go to this place anymore I use to like it but not anymore a lot changes happen not good at all
1. Bad service we ordered hookah and it takes forever plus there was no one to change the charcoal.
2. Some of us ordered dinner and and seriously they got sick next day
On top of all that they charge us more then what we ordered .. 3 of us we ordered 3 drinks and 2 hookahs ok they charge for what we ordered and 150$ extra seriously whyy?!! That's because we didn't order dinner , so even if we don't order dinner they still charge for no order really!!
50$ tips really if the service was good they'll deserve more but there is no service at all ..
We will never go there anymore....Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Pajaman B.Aurora, IL323May 9, 2021
This place is absolutely terrible, not worth the money at all they have a bunch of hidden fees in the bill. Staff is very rude, and entertainment sucks. Absolutely dirty and disgusting.

If I could give no stars i would. They ruined my bday by charging $70 a person when $35 was promised. The waiter was so rude. It was supposed to be $35 a person with hooka and food. They cheated us out on doing family style. Each person didn't even have half a plate of food. $35 should have covered at least a plate of food. We had 2 hookas mind you. They are thieves. Also they tax service which is illegal. Since the owners changed, the place went down hill in service. They do this to everyone and that is why no one goes there anymore.
PS: its BYOB and they charge $10 a person. Also they use a low grade of meat which makes it smell bad. The food wasn't edible, even the chicken.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 7, 2013
Dandana has great food, various hookah flavors, and great ambiance.
The place was full on a Friday night, and the crowd was diverse and appropriately dressed up.
The music was lively, with guests line-dancing and belly dancing. Music continued all throughout the night!
Lots of great looking people frequent this spot, and is worth lounging at. It appeared as though the average group size was 6; however, there were larger and smaller groups all around.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Hend S.The Loop, Chicago, IL0148Apr 3, 2016
OMG the food and the service are horrible. The place is OVER Priced, 20$ per person for the live show with the minimum 70& for table and mandatory gratuity for the very poor service .
The only thing that deserve visiting again is the live music and dancing !!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marie G.Mundelein, IL03Aug 26, 2019
My sister suggested this place so we went on Saturday (a group of 9).
We were greeted at the door. Food was good, hookah was OK, and the entertainment (2 singers and a belly dancer) was fun!
Mark, (the manager) was professional and friendly and took great care of our entire table.
Planning on going back there again :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J and N L.Wilmette, IL1008Aug 1, 2016
We were here for friends' Hafla (Middle Eastern belly dance show). There were large numbers of people. The show was great, but there were several problems.
1. Although the food was great, there was only one cook, which meant all food took much longer to arrive than it should have. Two of our dancer friends couldn't even eat, and several hot dishes weren't.
2. My husband is highly allergic to smoke, especially tobacco, and although one of our friends tried and almost succeeded in keeping the hookahs away from our area, there was no way to completely escape. There is no nonsmoking area inside.
3. We were not told until we got our bill that the gratuity was included, and that gratuity was 20%.
We hope the owner or owners will reduce or eliminate these issues.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mohammed M.Melbourne, FL14May 11, 2017
Pricing is so expensive they try to the charge the customer anything such as the life music and service charge , the put 18% on top of the bill without asking us if the service . Zero star will be enough for this place .
