C Lounge - San Diego

Hummus was amazing. Hookah was good. Price was on par with the rest of the Gaslamp district. I would definitely come here again.

My friend and i went here this past weekend. They were taking a while to take our order and we weren 't really feeling it so we decided to leave. We left through the back door that was CLEARLY labeled exit , which led us through a long hallway and finallya gate to go outside. The gate was locked and couldn 't be opened from our side so we decided to turn around and walk back insidethe lounge but the door to go back in also didn 't have a handle so we were stuck in a weird space. Finally, a worker saw us andstarted AGGRESSIVELY yelling at us because we weren 't allowed to be back there. We apologized and tried explaining that we wereonly back there because we thought it was an exit (there was an exit sign) and he continued to get in our face accusing us oflying and doing something else. This guy then proceeded to literally corner us and blocked us from going anywhere until hismanager got there. We were just trying to leave through a door that was wide open with a lit exit sign above it so I 'm not surewhere or how we misinterpreted that it was an exit. Whole thing seems weird and suspicious and it shouldn 't be acceptable foran employee to restrain anyone from leaving like that.

The staff (specifically Franco) and overall experience were amazing. We love this place and it?s the best shisha we?ve had outside of MENA.

Quit centrally located. I went here mid-day. A big guy came to me and asked me for my ID. I am 45 years old. So, I said, in a joking way, I am honored you think I am under 18. He said, you gotta check. I said, that's True. But later one all other guestswe not checked. So, I don't know why the difference? Maybe they focus more on evening rush and events because I felt abitunwanted. The hookah was good. They have old hookah bottles but it was well prepared. The guy came regularly to change the charcoal. Prices is fair. Service can be more friendl.. I won't go there for midday lounging. I think it's more for evening andweekends

I really enjoy this restaurant. They have great hookah and drinks. The staff are so passionate about the place that they even come in on their days off. I was chatting with someone and later found out that she actually works there!
