Zamaan Hookah Bar and Restaurant

Horrible food (had the wings-​worst I’ve ever had & the sweet potato fries they were ehh) horrible customer service. Never again.

I know it’s non traditional but I love a shisha place that plays dope hip hop music!
Me and my troops had dinner in Williamsburg and decided we should end the night with some shisha (hookah). We walked around and found this little gem after maybe 15 mins of walking. There is a sign outside that mentions a 2 drink minimum (doesn’t have to be alcohol) which was fine with us. We walked in and got seats right near the window. Was a bunch of little round tables with a couch and some chairs surrounding. Multiple groups are near each other as the space isn’t that big and you have to maximize the space but I don’t mind. The actual hookahs are smaller than what I’m used to but function as they should. We got the watermelon mint which is awesome… very mellow! They had lots of interesting flavors that I would love to come back and try. I bet the peanut butter flavor is awesome!

I was just turned away at the door at 1:14 am meanwhile people of other ethnicitys were being allowed in the bouncer told me they were closed… appalling behavior from the bouncer

the owner is so racist, as me and my friend walked up we saw how he denied a black couple saying it was packed !! he said to me and my friend that he dnt have spanish ppl partyin in his lounge! i was so embrass like what does that mean? the bouncers being that they are black and spanish was just standing there looking dum!
horrible spot

This place is extremely racist! Was told they were over capacity and watched them let numerous people in! Do not spend money here if you are black!!! Seriously!

Great waitresses hookah, food, music and drinks. Best hookah ive her had. Waitresses are beautiful.

Went here on a Friday night. There was a DJ playing good R&B and a few hip hop. Good chill spot on a Friday night. Wings were good. Cash only though.

Tus the night before Saturday! That’s right Friday. Me and a couple of my friends came stumbling in here after roaming the Brooklyn streets for a place to have fun. We have always passed by but always was curious about this spot. The prices are reasonable. Hookah was $ 20. There is a 2 hour limit but we stayed way longer. The guy kept coming around and firing up our hookah. The only thing I did not like is the service charge at the bottom. Especially when the waitress took it upon herself to give herself a tip. She never brought out $ 5 back lol

Came here with my Bf and his homie meeting another guy who was already inside. I was already good from a previous spot on Essex so when my bf and I pulled up to this spot I wasn’t impressed at all.
First, I’ve never seen so many bouncers standing in front of a bar/​lounge doing absolutely nothing except telling you what you can and can’t do without even entering the location yet.
Two drink minimum, you can’t stand in the front there’s not enough «room» although everything moving with a vagina was brought right to the front… Ok, granted there’s more dudes than females with my group tonight but men are the ones spending anywhere you go in the nightlife, everything is free for women anywhere for the most part if they’re pretty so where’s the logic as a business to force the paying customers to sit somewhere they don’t want too??? What is this, a ratchet adult day care and the bouncers oversee seating arrangements???
Where are we suppose to chill and enjoy ourselves? The back? Ummmm our friend is actually at the bar conversing we wanna buy a drink straight from the bar and relax with our people, NO! You can’t do that you’ll have a waitress in the back area… I’m sorry what year is this Massa, you says I’s hava head to the back of the bus massa GTFOH… we’re good here and we don’t want nor need a waitress… well then you’re gonna have to exit… Gladly! You no neck, no education, over inflated, steroid pumping, vertically challenged waste of life. Your set up is a joke, your drink min is a joke, the coked up racist owner in the front is a joke, we’ll def save our money and happily exit

Horrible experience the security followed myself and my friend around the whole night was very rude. At first we thought he was being funny and flirtatious but he was seriously being an asshole!!! I will never go or tell anyone to go here after that! Ever

Zero privacy. It reminded me of a Catholic high school dance. They play hip-​hop and new rap but break you up and threaten to kick you out if you dance to close to your partner. If you make out with your date, they will accuse you of «trying to fuck in a public place.» This place is a joke, there are far better places to hang out in Brooklyn, don’t waste your time dealing with the trash who run this bar.

This place is racist, bull shit ass owner, who will let people in ahead of you, just because he feels like it. He’s rude, and disrespectful, and I hope this establishment burns in establishment hell. Don’t waste your time or money.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. They are so racist. I asked for a couch seat near the window, the lady who was my supposed «waitress» said oh no that’s for parties of 3+ so the nice couple next to us said well sit there together, then the lady came up with another excuse. Will never come back. Gona finish my hookah and go else where for business. N shout out to all the scammers of bk that zoe’d this place oh so many times that they only take cash.

I like this place, I really do but they are just a few things that are off. First off, both times I saw there I saw in the back, which is fine but when you’re going to do something like that, make sure the experience is the same as sitting up front. I mention this because the front is very nice compared to the back. The DJ is right there, the vibe is cool. In the back, it’s a little harder to hear to the music because there are no speakers back there. The vibe is a little different in the back, not as turnt up as the front. And it almost feels like you are being hidden back there. They have these heaters back there, which is cool because it can gets cold back there. I think a major improvement would be to make the back room as cool as the front and not feel like you’re in a studdy, bare extension. It would definitely add to the experience.

This place is a hole in a wall. Barely any seats and space to move around. The music was okay.
Also the owner is RACIST, they do not allow black guys to come in unless they are with females and/​or unless they know you well.
Also the bartenders harasses you to buy a drink, there is a one drink minimum there.
The only good thing about this place is the 16 dollar hookah’s.
DO NOT waste your time going there if you are black!

Hookah, low price, food, great DJ… What could I say. Great place for a date or getting to know someone. If your friend know how to have fun this is the place. Bartender makes get mix drinks and it’s a full bar. I will go again.

Classic no frills, chill, hang out spot with some great hookah. A great place to go on a date or have a good time with friends. Friday night they bumped hip hop to give it that going out feel without the pressure.
Dive-​eque vibe. Cash only.

Ok place. I went there on a Saturday night from 10 pm until about 1 or 2 am. We sat by the bar. The hookah was pretty good and refreshed often and the drinks were good enough. The atmosphere changes from heavy hip hop to more
Top 40 hip hop you can dance to. It’s less hookah bar and more bar with hookah in it… So just know that. Otherwise it was alright!

Hookah was good. …food was ok. Music was on point. Wished is wasn’t cash only (sucks)…plus a $ 10 cover charge… (wth) wasn’t bad. …my chicka n I would come back. …3.5 stars!

We came to Zamaan early on a Saturday night and were able to get a table for two right away. However, quickly throughout the night, the bar filled up and there was soon a line outside.
We ordered blueberry hookah in a pineapple — had never tried the pineapple twist before, but it was really fruity and paired well with the blueberry. The flavors deepened as the night went on.
The atmosphere is loud and club-​like with the playlist. Most customers are seated at tables, but still dancing in their seats.
