HOLY HUMMUS! This place got it going on!\n\nOk, so I act like this was my first time! LOL I always seem to congregate to this place when a bunch of us want to enjoy some hookah. Tonight was no different. Hookah and The Olive was the perfect remedy after a long and work-filled week. Usually I'll just get something from the bar and hookah. Today was a little different. Along with the usual, we were also hungry...\n\nSo to start off, my friends got the skittles flavored hookah which is highly recommended. I don't usually get specialty drinks, so I have no room to judge their full service bar, although I will say that our server was a little impatient and screwed up my end tab. She was in a rush and didn't split the check as requested when we arrived, so I ended up paying for the entire table. It's a good thing I loved everyone there. LOL.\n\nFor food, we got a few appetizers: The hummus with pine nuts and beef for $5.95, the seasoned fries for $3.95 and the regular fries for the same cost (only because we wanted another basket of seasoned fries but they ran out, so we had to settle with the regular basket). To start off with the regular fries, they were crispy, shoe string type fries served with ranch and ketchup. Although I love shoe strings, it was like your typical basket of fries. The best way to describe the seasoned fries was that it tasted exactly like the seasoned curly fries at Jack in the Box, but these fries were straight and thicker. I LOVE Jack's seasoned curly fries, so this basket was ON POINT for me! \n\nFinally, I think the hummus deserves it's own paragraph. First start off with the most fluffiest homeade pita bread. Then top it with their phenominal hummus (pureed garbanzo beans with tahini sauce, olive oil for the hummus amateurs out there...although I have a feeling there aren't that many). This hummus is accompanied with olive oil, pine nuts and Mediterranean flavored beef. Talk about a WINNING combination. It was a Mediterranean sandwich explosion of flavors! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. \n\nOverall, the atmosphere is really dark and the furniture has seen some better days. When you have time to sit and absorb the energy in the room however, you're going to realize that this place is loved amongst the surrounding locals. Everyone is super cool and once you add hookah into the mix, you're bound to have a fantastic time!
