Stop by Thursday night for the first time after work. I was very surprised and impressed from the moment I arrived. Very upscale and elegant place with alot of attention to detail, with a very warm relaxed feeling and a very inviting cozy mood ambience.The service and food was phenomenal and Jorge, the bartender/manager was great, also enhanced my experience, he's very detailed may me and my friend feel very special.I felt like, i was actually in Dubai. If you're looking to escape the stress from the day and week and have great night. I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.

Hookah suck and the customer was terrible. Asked for a refund for the $45 regular hookah and they told me no. After I did not smoke it because it was so bad.

I gave Little Dubai NJ 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had a very enjoyable experience at Little Dubai Hookah Lounge and Bar! Let me break it down for you:Pros:• Atmosphere: Oh. My. God. This place transported me straight to the Middle East! The decor is so cool, and the vibe is so chill and cozy. I felt like I was in a magical hookah den! ?• Service: The staff is top-notch! Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome and took care of us like royalty!• Ambiance: Little Dubai has got this spot on! The lighting and overall energy are just right.• Bar: My friends enjoyed the cocktails and referred to them as "Solid."• Sports: They've got a TV playing sports, and there's plenty of bar seating, making it a great spot to catch a game and enjoy some drinks! ?Cons:• Food: The food was just okay. Not bad, but not wow either.• Hookah flavor: Visually, the hookahs looked fabulous! But, unfortunately, they lacked oomph in the flavor department.Overall, I'd totally come back to Little Dubai for the fabulous atmosphere, exceptional service, and solid bar options! My friends loved their cocktails, and I loved the vibe. Keep working on that food and hookah flavor, and you'll be unstoppable! ?Follow me on Google for more ❤️

First time visiting. Atmosphere was great. I had ordered the garlic chicken kabob. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. I tried the spicy chicken wing. Let's just say not spicy. The bar tender was very nice and friendly. Pricing was cheap compared to what I thought it was going to be.Parking: Small parking lot behind restaurant

I rarely write reviews, but feel like I have to after my experience. The ambiance is fabulous- it's small, cozy, nicely decorated with attention to details. Our server was very nice and sweet, however, there was another server who was rude and snippy. This restaurant tries to upsell on EVERYTHING without telling you, including the Hookah which is cash only. We had four people and ordered a hookah, which at $45 is already on the pricey side. The hookah gets delivered, I add a tip to the payment and am told it is $65 because they put it in a pineapple. We did not request this and when we expressed this, were met with irritation and he walked away with our money, hookah, and no explanation. He came back, delivered the hookah without any words and never came back to refresh the coals. Now, the dinner menu is small with only 5 items on it. They were sold out of the lamb shanks, which happens in restaurants, so it's understandable; HOWEVER, the lamb kebab was dry and favorless. We ordered 4 meals, but only 3 were brought out and all at varying times. When we asked for the 4th one, we were told "they should be making it". over 30 minutes later, we are told the meal is being plated, but by then, everyone had already finished eating and when we asked for it to be removed, were met with an attitude. They tried to convince us to accept it anyway. We had to explain several times that everyone had finished eating twenty minutes prior and that one of the meals had to be split because the 4th never came out. We ordered 4 meals, 3 appetizers, 4 drinks, and a bottle of wine- the check was almost $300....fine, no issues with that. BUT one double pour of Hennessy was $35, which included a $2 "ice" charge...one icecube?! The martini had a $2 "up" charge...so the price of drinks varies and it does not matter whether there is ice or no ice, there will be an extra, undisclosed fee ON TOP of the drink price. Gratuity was added to the check, which was literally tossed on our table by the 2nd server (not our server).This may have been an off night for this establishment, but overall, we did not have the best experience. Pricing and upcharges were sneaky. Although our server was polite, service was exceptionally slow and disorganized. The food is mediocre at best, portions are small, and there wasn't much flavor.

Only thing good was the DJ I Would not recommend drinks were horrible water down and over priced asked for a tequila shot to add to my drink and when I tasted it it was not tequila it was some cheap vodka liquor also they still charge me after letting them know they did care if we didn't like our drink.

My experience was unfortunate. The waiter was so lovely, however the crab cake burger and from the first bite, tasted a little off. I did ask if it the crab meat was fresh and was told that it had been bought that day. Unfortunately within 20-25 minutes I threw up in the toilets. The waiter did try to get the manager to tend to my situation however the manager was on a phone call. In terms of Hookah/Shisha, it's a cool place for that however, just based off of my experience, I wouldn't recommend the food

Came here primarily to smoke hookah. Unfortunately we left very disappointed. It never seemed to hit properly. And very overpriced. 1/5 for the hookahMy brother and I both got the limonana which is tequila and mint frozen. Kind of a cross between a frozen margaritas and a mojito. Interesting but I wouldn't order it againWe did not order any food so cannot comment.I will say, the decor and vibe is top notch.
