To enjoy the hookah experience, there are a few ways to do it. People either go to a hookah lounge or cafe or they buy their own and do it in their own homes or even have hookah parties(more on that in another post). People tend to enjoy going to hookah lounges with a large number or friends, although some enjoy the intimacy of a smaller group of two to three. There are a good number of hookah lounges in the Maryland/Virginia area. For example, there is Alf Laylah restaurant in Chantilly, Virginia, Lebnan Zaman restaurant in Vienna, Virginia, and Chi Cha Lounge in Washington D.C. Some of my personal favorites include, Prince Cafe, which has a couple of different locations, and Ice Hookah Lounge in Towson, Maryland. When looking for a hookah cafe there are no wrong or right ways to do it. Unless you check out the price before you go and find that it is too expensive, there really is not any other reason for you to not check a place out. Sometimes it is all about trial and error. Some people may like the atmosphere about a place and some may be more concerned about the live entertainment or food. Really, the decision is up to you. So happy hunting!
