It's pretty neat to have a hookah place in the area, even if it is way out in Henrietta. The day I went to Look ah Hookah there was no one there -- it's mostly a night time place -- but that worked out to my advantage as I got great service and someone to answer all my questions.
The sides of the room are lined with couches, a coffee table in front of each, and cushioned stools on the other side. On each table sits a hookah, most of them very neat looking. Each hookah has disposable mouthpieces, and each one has a different amount of mouthpieces that can be attached.
I didn't know this, but the tobacco isn't ever burned. The tobacco is placed in the bowl, covered with aluminum foil, a hot coal is placed on top, and then a wind cover covers that. As you draw through the hose the hot coal heats the tobacco, but never touches it. The strength of the draw is dependant on a few things, like the length and composition of the hose, a carburetor-type knob, and the choice of tobacco. The tobacco is moist and comes in many, many flavors. You don't have to be a cigarette smoker to enjoy a hookah, as some of the flavors don't contain tar or nicotine. Also, inhaling is not mandatory. Many of the tobaccos are like fruit mixtures. I tried chocolate, and it was so smooth I didn't even realize I got any the first few puffs. It had a great aftertaste.
There are also munchies and drinks, including a full range of frou-frou coffee concoctions and energy drinks. From what I was told, it's becoming a great spot on weekends, when there are performances by belly dancers, and as an after-bar gathering space since it's open until 4 a.m. There's also a VIP room with amenities like a Wii and a Playstation. Definitely a unique place to take a date.
This review was so well-written thatI felt like I was there, and am very sorry I wasn't!

Well, Hookah has different flavors based on that they serve different mouthpieces. All mouthpieces have different prices.
