Nice clean place. Waitresses are kind and great service. Kufta yummy! Chicken with mushrooms was really good. I loved the avacado smoothie with pistachios. All the other smoothies taste like sugar and water too sweet. I didnt like the strawberry banana or mango smoothies, Just syrup and color.

Fantastic food and service. I love getting the chicken Quesadilla as you see in the picture. Good seating for family n friends. Prices are very reasonable along with fresh halal food. Hard to beat. Great place to visit if youre in town visiting.

Worst place I have been ever too. Unprofessional staff, loud and noisy. You sit 5 hours there and they don’t come up to check up on you or ask you If you need anything. No napkins on table whatsoever, dirty tables, dirty nasty floor. Don’t recommend it. This is after my 3rd visit and still no improvement won’t go there again

The best hookahs around! Service is great. Every time I’ve been at this hookah lounge they’ve treated my friends & I nothing less than family. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with a group of friends on the weekend or grabbing a hookah & studying during the week. Food, hookah & service deserve more than 5 stars!:)

This place is wonderful. Waleed was an amazing person. Very very friendly staff. Food is the best best best in town. Try their sub. especially grilled spicy chicken. You will never get disappointed. Thanks lava java. Highly recommended.

Thing that gets me about this place is the 18% automatic tip that basically lets the waitresses treat customers however they want and STILL get tipped. Not to mention that there is no indication on the menu or anything that an 18% tip is going to be charged. Im pretty sure thats illegal. Some of the waitresses are nice but some are rude. I notice a difference in behavior when I go alone vs when I go with a group of guys. They are way nicer to the guys, maybe I shouldnt be surprised. Initially I really liked this place but there are PLENTY of hookah bars in Dearborn where I dont have to put up with this kind of thing.

My first time going here for my brother-in-laws birthday and the service here was horrible.We went around 12 am, food was good but the waitress did not check up on us and we literally had to stare at her on her phone,sitting down and laughing until she came. She took 30 minutes to an hour to come out with our food.And she had the nerve to take away 18% of tip without my knowledge. NEVER coming here EVER again! They dont even deserve a 1 star rating. Lava Java, OFF THE LIST!

Charcoal service is very poor they will not come change your Charcoal unless you keep calling on the waiters. They need more workers

Review №15

Food was good but the service was terrible. Our server kept going back to a seat where she played on her phone and smoked hookah. We had to call her every time we needed any thing and had to ask for charcoal multiple times because she was too busy on her phone.

I had an amazing experience at Lava. The food was wonderful and the hookah was fantastic. The best thing is it’s so affordable and atmosphere was very cozy. I feel so rejuvenated now. It was my first time smoking hookah so I recommend this joint for sure. Unlike most, they were open for Labor Day

Im a regular but not likely anymore, I used to come out here for the great price and amazing service, the service became non-existent at one point but now it is slightly improving however when I arrived at around 1pm or so on Friday 12/7/2018 and I ordered an orange head hookah and a water bottle. I couldnt believe the total came out to $20, Id rather go to the competition and pay less, I literally drive out of my way to get to you guys but you clearly dont care about retaining loyal customers. So unfortunately I will be taking my business elsewhere until things possibly change for the better. Funny thing is that the owner himself was the one overcharging me.... Sad really to be honest......

One of my favorite play to hangout with the boys, however you may ask why 3 star then? It because even though its supposed to be a smoking facility they dont like us clouding the place with vapes and thats does make sense or seat well with me thats a personal problem. But its fine if you dont smoke like that.

This place used to be my favorite before the separation of the hookah bar and the bistro. However, now the renovation is done and the place reopend I stopped coming here since I got pregnant and did not want to be smoking hookah anymore. I did order pick up few times and did go for hookah after delivery once. I like their double apple hookah, the environment is nice. I still love their wings and bbq chicken potato salad. The ambience is not like before but it is still a good hookah lounge

Good hookah and good drinks, but they need to be more attentive at changing out everyone’s coals when need be. We often had to waive them down and ask for new coals.

Review №71

Walked in nobody greeted us or seated us. So we sat at any random table. One lady came and literally threw 2 menus on table and power walked away quickly. Then a waittress came from behind her REALLY AWKWARD and took our orders. Got the food kinda late. She also did not check up on us when we needed things. When we were walking out the door she said wow no tip and i yelled back next time do your job lady

Review №77

Service was good and speedy. Staff were friendly. The interior was nice. It doubles as some type of club so the lighting is dim. They have restaurant chairs as well as a lounge area if you just wanted to connect to wifi and do some work. They also have hookah.The shrimp cajun quesadilla was very good. It was a generous portion and you can pay more for fries.

Review №82

If I could give negative stars I would! I went with some family members and close friends. The singers were great and catered to the diverse crowd. The waitress was terrible and didnt see her after the beginning until the bill came. The food was ok. The meats were good. The tabooli and fatoosh were terrible. No alcohol is served but BYOB. Everything is paper and plastic including cups, plates, forks and serving plates. What bothered me the most is that when I tried paying via credit card, they told me machine was broke. This is something that a decent establishment should inform you of in the beginning of the night. I had to walk three blocks to the ATM in the freezing cold. Save yourself the trouble and dont go to this place.

Review №92

Horrible experience at this place. We asked for 4 turkish coffees received different, dirty, and cracked coffee cups. Asked for them to be replaced to two seperate servers, it took 20 minutes and when they returned they said that was all they had. Coffee was cold by that time. They served our other drinks in Styrofoam cups, and dont even have menus. What really ticked me off was when a local singer came on for the live music (Kareem something), he praised the murderer dictator Bashar AlAssad and the Syrian regime several times. Why would someone involve politics when you are there to have fun and escape the real world? If I wasnt there to see the singer who was coming after him, Tony Eid, I would have walked out. Save yourself the trouble and go some where else with more class.
