If you are an expat specifically and specially from Gulf region do not miss to visit this place. I have been living in LA since 2016 and the only place I know where I can go sit and relax and can enjoy fresh food like chicken kabab, shawarma, Kunafah and most importantly awesome Karak (milk) tea so this is the place. And I am sure For Hookah lovers too because I don't drink hookah. This place has its own special vibe. Excellent customer service. If you want to celebrate cute and inexpensive surprise birthday party please just let the manager know and you can order a slice of cake (or you can bring ) he will arrange a cake with candle and a patent birthday song. I wish I can give this place 10 stars

Definitely have to give this a place a full 5 stars! Was in Huntington Beach for a week for a graduation and we all decided to come to Nubia as my cousin knew about this place. Parking can be a little sketch as its not the greatest looking from outside. We were waiting to be seated and was greeted by George who I have to say is so darn friendly and accomodating. This guy reminds me of Fouseytube and has such an amazing personality. Literally see's you as family and make sure you are fully taken care of. He was able to seat our party of 7 comfortably and mind you this is on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. The service here are incredible! The staff really is attentive and makes sures to take care of you and the hookah! The drinks were amazing and came out swiftly. The ambiance was great and packed with no drama, people doing their own thing and socializing. Music was fantastic and place was super clean! Hookah was clean and very good as well! Highly recommend and another shout out to George for being so nice and hospitable! Thank you bro!!

I really enjoyed being at Nubia, I ordered a hookah and one of their specialty teas Nubias Karak. The service was excellent and they were very attentive. The ambience is very relaxing, there's music and big screen TVs usually playing a movie or sports. I had a lot of fun. Great selection of flavors for hookah. Thank You Nubia Family!

My first time trying hookah and coming to a hookah lounge was at Nubia and it was such a great experience. At first the indoor space seems empty but you're greeted by a bustling crowd in the back. The workers are friendly and they do their best. My friends treated me out for my birthday and we all got the double apple along with shawarma, a mezza plate, and baklava. All the food was delicious and the shawarma was juicy. The total was around $55 which wasn't half bad at all considering the amount of shisha you're getting.

Y'all ain't even closing yet and I'm droppin' this 5 STAR REVIEW tonight, boy!!! I discovered this place one day during a usual mundane day of work and for whatever reason it just jumped out at me saying, "Come here with your wife, bro! Come to this side of Anaheim, bro. It's hard to find parking and it's so popular and you get to sit outside, bro. It's cold and outdoors, bro." And literally it was a great experience, probably one of the most memorable "blind" yelp experiences my wife and I have had in awhile. I was joking about being outside because it's covered up and the outside part is where the party is at. There's just something about co-mingling with others in an outside patio with music, TVs, social noise, and hookah, and smoke mixing in with the smell of charcoals in the air. It fondly reminded me of street food/smells in Asia. Anyway, we ordered a 3 combo skewer plate and a kushari (spelling?) plate and kunefe (spelling????) plate and an apple hookah. Our entrees were LITERALLY SO GOOD. And typically my wife and I are not fans of legumes of any sort, but the lentils in the kushari plate were AMAZING. I could go on and on about the food, but tonight I'll keep it succinct and say the food was as good as it looked, yelp and in real life. Service was so friendly and helpful! From the stylishly cool guy, to the helpful waitress, to the coal dudes, everyone was incredibly helpful and welcoming! My wife and I always complain about how Anaheim usually sucks, but I speak for both of us when I say we found a new hangout spot tonight :)

Super lit environment! Loved the karak tea. UmmAli was lightly sweet which is exactly what I hoped for. My first time to a hookah place so the smoking and all the smoke around you was not I would look forward to but the tea and the environment and the service were just right. Would revisit when I crave that perfect karak chai

Great spot for Hookah newbies! I came here with a friend who used to smoke regularly and said this was the place to try it. We ordered tea, a dessert to share and shared a hookah. I learned that smoking is not for me but I'm happy to have enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor patio and people watch on a weekend night.
