Horus Café on A
7.7
A late-night cafe-lounge hybrid where Middle Eastern comfort plates share the spotlight with hookah and nightlife energy. Treat it as a hang: order one kebab plate, one dip, and tea or coffee, and keep expectations focused on vibe and warmth rather than fine-dining precision.

Chicken kebabs, Hummus, Lentil soup

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; difficult after 7pm—ride-share or subway is strongly recommended.
Dress code: Casual to smart-casual; jeans and sneakers are fine, nightlife-leaning outfits fit right in.
Noise level: Loud late night—conversation requires leaning in once the lounge energy ramps up.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes late night without a reservation, shorter earlier in the evening.
Weekday lunch: No wait typically; this is primarily an evening and late-night spot.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—solid options including hummus, falafel-style plates, lentil soup, and salads.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—focus on dips, lentil soup, and vegetable sides; confirm prep details.
Gluten-free options: Limited—grilled meats and some salads work, but cross-contact is possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a casual or late-night date than a first impression dinner—the vibe is lively and social, not intimate or quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially earlier in the evening; late night weekends may involve a wait, but turnover is steady.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—this is a hookah-forward lounge with late-night energy, better suited for adults.
Best For
Better for: Late-night hangs, hookah sessions, and casual Middle Eastern comfort food with a lounge atmosphere.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, polished service, or a food-first Middle Eastern dining experience—choose a traditional restaurant instead.
