Rama Cafe

Oh no. Stay away! I went here on Friday night and it was terrible. The service was so so awful. I am pretty sure the owner was stoned. He couldn’t hear a word we said, and what the heck? No alcohol? Lame lame lame.
Also, they make you order a drink per person. I’m sorry, I really don’t want a VIRGIN margarita or a piña colada. I’m not on a cruise ship. After they made us order those silly drinks, we waited a half hour… no drinks in sight. I was glad though because I didn’t want the damn drinks so I said hmm… I wonder if we can just get bottled water. I got up to ask the guy since he wasn’t coming by to check on us at all and he said fine.
When we came to pay the bill it was $ 32! The hookah was only supposed to be $ 20 (which i still think is expensive). So you’re telling me I had to pay $ 6 a bottle for WATER? Seriously, don’t come to this place. It sucks. Royally.

This place is pretty scary looking — poor lighting, empty cake displays, ratty curtains thrown over uncomfortable wooden booths & there is only red light in the bathroom. There was only one person working while I was there & he talked on the phone the entire time. For music, the guy kept 4 Katy Perry songs on loop the entire time we were there. Katy Perry is already annoying as is, but to suffer through her songs multiple times in a row is unspeakable horror.
Shisha was ok, but the cost is pretty high. Its actually $ 20 per batch of shisha (not per person), plus the minimum of one drink per person, plus an included 15% tip. Drinks are just teas or bottled Costco water & all cost around $ 5.50.
I actually feel a little ripped off by this place because my boyfriend & I went here to kill some time while waiting for a friend after work. The friend met us at the café & the server ran over to harass him to order a drink, even though he didn’t even smoke with us & we were going to leave in a few minutes. I guess we probably should have told our friend to wait outside for us!

The place looks like a worn-​out Moroccan harem. On the first look, the couches look comfy but then I found out that it’s all wood when I threw my ass to it. Ouch. There are dark lightings, so dark that I can barely read my menu, and a dirty looking kitchen behind the bar. Weird.
Other than that, the shisha is $ 20 per person with a minimum of one drink per person. There aren’t that many drinks to choose from and they serve no alcohols. The music is blaring from a crappy boombox on the side of the kitchen, playing all these bad dance mixes of today’s top 40.
As for the hookah, the taste was there, but it wasn’t really strong. Though I do credit the service for they replace our coals right away when the first one died. At least the service was good, I suppose.
