Makani Lounge - Sterling

My wife and I recently visited this restaurant and we had the falafel sandwich, followed by some tea and shisha. The food was delicious and the shisha was impressive. The barcoded menu at Makani includes a saying, "Come as a friend and leave as family," which I found to be true based on my own experience.

We celebrated our friend's birthday at Makani and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the ambiance was lovely. The only downside was that there were fewer staff members, so we had to wait longer than expected. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back again.

I know I am late writing this review but because I don't even know where to I start because this place and the people are the best.

$18 hookah Monday-Thursday? Yeah that's a big fat lie. We went there and ordered hookahs and when it was time to leave the Hispanic guy checking us out tried to deny us the deal. $30+ per person for just hookah? What a joke.

I get the waiters can smoke hookah but with such a small confided space you would think they wouldn't right? He

I ordered from Door Dash about 5 hours before the restaurant closed. They estimated a 45-55 minute delivery time, but the food arrived 90 minutes later. The meal had a thin layer of rice at the bottom, so thin that I could see the tin foil through the grains of rice. The delivery driver had to wait over 20 minutes at the restaurant for the food to be prepared, which was already 30 minutes past the time I placed my order.
