Laguna Cafe
8.0
A hookah lounge-meets-Middle Eastern café, Laguna is known for its late-night vibe, solid mezzes, and relaxed social atmosphere. Locals come for the hookah experience but stay for the hummus, falafel, and kebabs. It’s one of the few spots in the neighborhood to blend dining and lounge in one space.
Must-Try Dishes:
Hummus & warm pita, Chicken Kebab, Falafel platter
What makes it special: Hookah + dining in one Middle Eastern lounge
