Business Owner

When Alkan B first arrived in San Diego from Turkey nearly a decade ago, he spoke little English. On February 17th, 2011, Alkan, along with business partner Masud Sarwary, celebrated the grand opening of Pasha, San Diego’s first luxury hookah lounge that honed in on the ancient social tradition while honoring the Gaslamp’s high standards of style. Pasha Lounge boasts a vibrant design by Davis Krumins that shines a new light on hookah culture. Most simply put by Davis himself, the Pasha atmosphere promotes happiness.

They serve drinks! Most hookah lounges don’t from what the friends I went with said.
Not very attentive once given your hookah.
This was my first time at a hookah lounge so I didn’t know what to expect.
The design is cool and seating is cozy.

If there was an option for zero stars this place would have gotten it. The service was equivalent to that of a badly run McDonald’s. The waitresses were rude, the service was slow and the hookah burned for far less than average. If all hookah bars were run this way they would cease to exist. I strongly recommend you try any hookah bar in the state other than this, pathetic pasha, thoroughly disappointed.

Horrible horrible service. The bouncers are rude. The staff even more so.
It took 23 minutes… that’s after I started counting .to take our order. Even when the waitress arrived she didn’t Apolo for the delay. The hookah came a 18 minute delay later. No apologies. The hookah was made and left so it tasted weird. I asked the waitress if we could fix it or get more coal do it burns sooner. Her words… we haven’t had a problem with hookah. May it’s you!
What the hell is that.
Bad service, bad people, negative energy, way to costly. Do yourself a favor. Don’t go here.

Server took our order didn’t see her again til we asked another server for our check
Security offered to fix said he was a hookah master before. At least he tried
Hookah lasted 20 min
For $ 26 bowl was super under packed and burnt quick
Only good thing was the security guy

The atmosphere is awesome here!
They have indoor and outdoor seating!
The indoor is where I had a chat with a friend over hookah and beer!
The prices were great and the service was wonderful!
They have a great variety of different types of hookah flavor a to choose from and they have happy hour specials!
I recommend the white mint flavor!

The place is nice inside but the service was horrible. Our waitress was extremely rude and condescending. They are very strict about having 3 people to a hookah. One of our friends wasn’t smoking but they still made us purchase an extra hookah (otherwise she had to leave). The waitress stood there and waited for us when it was time to pay the tab.
I won’t be coming back. Art of Hookah is a better alternative.

Eh it was ok. Service was not good. They never walk by to refill the hookah coals or to take any orders fo drinks. After you sit down they just leave you hanging. And there were at least 10 staff members working. Music was good though.
In terms or drinks, there is a limited selection. My husband drinks (I dont) but he didn’t like that the vodka only had a house option. Beers are super limited too. Overall, the lack of service really killed the vibe. Wouldn’t go here again.

Def not crazy about the service. There was no hostess on sight, even though we stood by the door for minutes. We decided to sit ourselves, and a few minutes later, someone came out to tell us we couldn’t sit there and had to move.
Will not come back.

I came here after a bad experience with Divan lounge. You can read my post there to know why.
As I enter this establishment I was greeted by a heavenly smile, I forgot her name but she’s the blonde waitress. She allowed us to choose our seating and gave us menus. As we discussed our options she patiently waited to assist us with any questions we may have.
Our order arrived within minutes.
Service– top notch, everything came out in a timely manner. Our hookah master was rotating the charcoal like a «master hookah charcoal rotator.»
Hookah– was on point. The hookah was hitting perfect. With proper charcoal rotation my o’s were on point.
I recommend this joint to anyone looking for a nice place to smoke and good service to go with it.

I find it funny that all the 1 star complaints are about either no tap water or service being slow.
I have been to this place many times and never had any issues. The service is phenomenal and the people are great. You just have to get to know the people in here. Also, when they are busy and you need something you can waive them down and they give you everything you need. The place has the best service and the ladies are always nice and professional. If you had a terrible service you should let the staff know and they’ll make sure you are handled appropriately.
The hookah is smooth and for those of you that don’t smoke hookah or don’t know too much… The reason why the hookah is smooth is because they use the best coals. Not that cheap stuff other places use.
If you ever go to a place to order hookah ask them to give you coconara or coconut coals. I am not good with the name but I know that’s the stuff that blazes smooth or you can get mystique coals.
Thank you Pasha lounge for a great Wednesday and thank you for not grabbing my drink out of my hand like your neighboring hookah lounge.
Peace

I hate this place. The music was too the loud, the service was awful, and they charged an 18% gratuity for a party of two. To add insult to injury, they dupe you into spending more on your checks by charging for tap water then leaving you to languish in agony due to their unresponsiveness. Our coals were not changed unless we asked and even then we had to ask several times, and this was before the place was even packed. All this and the hookah wasn’t good-​and it was over priced at that!
Hookah bars or lounges should be comfortable places where you can enjoy a conversation and a couple drinks while relaxing with a smoke. This place is not that. This place is all form no function, it’s just a hipster club you can smoke at, not a hookah bar.

Best Hookah bar in all of SD. Serkan is the
. He totally took care of my gurl for her first time. I will be writing much more later. LOVE this place! Cozy, hip, classy, ice tips! If you can’t chill here there is a problem.

This place is nice & chill. The only reason why it gets a 3 is because it takes forever for them to give you new coals. They are so busy in there. It takes forever to get a food order as well. Other than that the flavored hookah selection is pretty good. The women’s restroom was out of order and there was a long line for the men’s bathroom. There’s only one bathroom for men and one for women. That was annoying.
On a good note, for dessert, I ordered the «opera cake» and it was absolutely amazing just melted in my mouth.

Had a great time here with my girlfriend. We had exceptional service from the server, very kind and responsive to our needs. The hookahs can be hit or miss at times but we were given an excellently prepared one served by a moustasched gentlemen by the name of Joe! Thank you so much sir!
Be sure to come here during happy hour roughly between 2 and 7pm for $ 12 dollar hookahs.
The atmosphere is very relaxing, and lounging, with comfortable seating… in particular closest by the windows for air.
Thank you again for the service folks!

One of my favorite places to chill in San Diego was Pasha Lounge. Love hookah, and they’re right on the strip with a nice outdoor section. We sat inside at a booth and loved the comfort. The privacy was OK but wish the split between booths was more pronounced so that’d we have a bit more privacy, but wasn’t a big deal.
The service was pretty good, and the Happy Hour deal on hookah and beer was amazing. We sat here and relaxed for about 2 hours one night, no pressure from the waitstaff to keep buying, they kept up and maintained our coals very well.
Overall, if you like hookah, do NOT pass this place by. I will be back!
