Paradise Cafe & Hookah Lounge

This place has all you can ask for from a shisha lounge… quality tobacco, a competent shisha preparer, comfortable atmosphere. The owner is very attentive and checks on your periodically to make sure you’re enjoying yourself.
Will def come here on a regular basis.

Much like the name claims: Paradise! Hookah is one of my favorite pass times and I’ve tried just about every place in the area and none come close to paradise (formally Aladdin Café). Not only are their hookah clean, the hoses are always new and the flavor is never muddy like some other places in Clifton. They have tons of flavored to choose from, gum mint is one of the best, but if you’re new to hookah or just want something different ask the owner AB or one of the girls to surprise you. You won’t regret it. As an added bonus to the hookah experience they started doing fruit infused water with all kinds of different flavors. I tried a berry combo one which was to die for. It’s a light refreshing way to compliment your hookah and I will be getting this every time I go from now on! The atmosphere is amazing featuring local artists work and a two level building which is different than most places you go. Bottom line: I love it, they have happy hour on hookahs and you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing place, some great changes have taken place in the past couple months or so. Friendly waitresses, the owner is really cool and it has a unique vibe. I definitely would recommend the fruit infused water, goes well with the great hookahs! Very nice place

The owner here is cool and the waitresses know what they’re doing. Just know each hookah is limited to 3 people so plan accordingly. They have some good and snacks as well to relieve those hookah munchies.

If you’re trying to have a great time with a great atmosphere then this place is the place for you I love going to hookah bars and I can honestly say this one stands out great seating areas they also have TVs and do karaōke nights on some days

The atmosphere wasn’t the best, on the tv’s they were playing mostly news. As far as music goes it was mostly rap/​r&b which isn’t a huge thing but I expect a more chilled out environment. The hookah wasn’t bad at all though.

Really cool vibe, great exposed brick, nice couches, great waitresses, and the hookah was smooth. Open till 4 was nice. A good place to unwind after a night of dancing! Also had music with nice speakers… Well priced

I’ve been to many a hookah bar in my time, so I was skeptical when a couple friends described Aladdin to me like it was heaven on Earth. I heard for weeks about the charismatic owner, the nice interior, the smoothness of the smoke, etc. It was one of those things where I didn’t think the experience could live up to my incredibly heightened expectations. But for the most part, it did!
The place is in the old Taza building, dimly lit with a few faux leather couches and lots of coffeeshop tables and chairs throughout. The owner and the staff were very friendly, introducing themselves and asking our names. I smoked a grape-​watermelon-​mint flavored hookah, which sounds weird but ended up being a good idea. My friends smoked a pineapple hookah, which adorably came with a bowl made of the skin from an actual pineapple, and a tiny sparkler that stayed lit long enough for me to snap a picture. The most unique thing was the ice attachment that they added to our hookah pipe, which made the smoke nice and cool in our mouths. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. I think I’ve found my new favorite hookah café in Cincy :)

A new hookah bar but not bad at all. Very different then the older hookah bars on clifton. I went yesterday with a couple of friends and we had a blast. It wasn’t that expensive and they had my favorite dessert (cheese cake). it was very comfortable and big. The waitress was really friendly and the owner was moving around and talking to everyone.
