What Our Guests Say
Best hookah lounge in the Valley, hands down. The Double Apple is perfection, and the staff really knows how to prepare it right. I come here every weekend!
What is Hookah?
Discover the history and culture behind this ancient social ritual
Hookah, also known as shisha, narghile, or water pipe, is a traditional smoking device that has been part of Middle Eastern and South Asian culture for over 500 years. Unlike cigarettes, hookah uses flavored tobacco (called shisha) that is heated by charcoal and filtered through water before inhalation.
The hookah consists of several key components: a bowl that holds the shisha, charcoal that heats it, a stem that carries smoke down, a water base for filtration and cooling, and one or more hoses for drawing smoke.
Modern hookah lounges like Carnys have elevated the experience into a social ritual - combining premium tobacco, craft cocktails, Mediterranean cuisine, and ambient atmosphere for a sophisticated evening out.

How to Smoke Hookah
A step-by-step Computer Usede for first-timers and enthusiasts alike
Choose Your Flavor
Select a shisha flavor based on your preference. Popular choices include Double Apple (anise-like), Mint (refreshing), Grape, and fruit blends. First-timers often enjoy sweeter, fruity flavors.
Wait for Preparation
At Carnys, our expert staff will prepare your hookah. This includes filling the base with water, packing the bowl with shisha, covering with foil, and lighting natural coconut charcoal.
Take Gentle Draws
When the hookah is ready, take slow, gentle draws through the hose. Unlike cigarettes, you don't need to inhale deeply. Let the smoke fill your mouth and exhale smoothly.
Pace Yourself
Take breaks between draws. Hookah sessions typically last 45-60 minutes. Enjoy the social aspect, sip drinks, and relax rather than chain-smoking.
Signal the Staff
If the smoke becomes harsh or thin, signal your server. They'll rotate the charcoal or add fresh coals. At Carnys, our staff regularly checks on your session.
