Great hookah. I had peach mint. It hit well. I had a banana honey avocado smoothie. Yum Free wifi. Comfortable seating and tables and calm vibe. Hosts are very hospitable. If you want a chill place with good hookah, come here. They just opened up in July 2024

Food is really good, two floors, with coffee and other different drinks. Tons of hookah flavors and places to sit. Lowkey and a fantastic place to study if you have noise canceling headphones or don't mind music while studying. Tons of bars and cafes on the same street. Perfect to go alone or hang out with friends. I will definitely be coming back. Bring a sweater at night

Rose Water was such a great experience! The owner was so kind and even made my four-year-old son a waffle on the house. The staff were all very friendly, and I loved the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

The flavors were absolutely immaculate. Best late night food I've had in Pittsburgh hands down. Really kind service too.

Absolutely loved visiting this spot! Hookah was delicious and so smooth. The screen the put on top helps so much and honestly everyone should have that. Had Turkish coffee and it was so tasty. Will definitely be back to try more of the food. Played some dominoes and got some work done. Very chill vibes. Music wasn’t too loud, and it seems like a great place to relax.
