Qash is one of my favorite hangout places in Bangalore. Located near 80 feet road this place is awesome if you want to chill , specially if your girl/boyfriend for a nice evening with hookah.
I've been going with my girlfriend to this place for about 3-4 days/week for the past 4-5 months so I feel I'm a good candidate to review this place.
AMBIANCE : There are two floors in Qash. The ground floor has two large rooms with large comfortable sofas , which is where we prefer to sit. Each room can accommodate two group of people . The decoration is decent with Arabic feel to it , and both room has TV that you can enjoy while smoking away your hookah. Basically couples would love this place for it's privacy.
The rooftop is again nice , wit ... View Moreh very good decoration. This place is ideal for large group of people as the sitting place is more. The sitting places, while not as nice the ground floor sofas have, are decent enough to sit.
Final rating : 8/10
SERVICE : The service is awesome. All the guys serving hookah are very friendly and co-operative . Time to receive your orders is also quite quick , even when the place is crowded.
I always prefer to leave some tip as the service makes you feel good.
The only problem is that sometimes they will try to sell you the expensive hookahs instead of the one you order , you just have to be persistent on your choice.
Final Rating : 9/10 (1 point deducted for the last point )
FOOD: The food is decent. It's not extraordinarily great but it is nice enough to satisfy your tongue. The variety is very good , from Pastas to Pizzas to Muffin to Fries to what not.
I do however love their cappuccino (specially Hazelnut Cappuccino ) .
Final Rating: 6.5/10
HOOKAH : The choice of hookah is great. You can get a single flavored hookah (250 ) or mixed hookah with two flavors (Rs. 300) . The variety is excellent , from mild to strong, from sweet to , well not-so-sweet.
On top of it, they have special hookah (which starts from 350 to 700 ).
The hookah are made very very well, with good taste. The smoke is also good .
The service being great , the waiters will keep changing the coal frequently .
Overall, I prefer this place to other places , when it comes to Hookah, in terms of Service and taste.
It's much better than Mocha where the waiters are arrogant and all Hookah tastes the same.
Final Rating : Strong 8/10
PRICE: Very decent. An evening of chilling can cost you around 400-500 for two. You can easily spend upto 2-3 hours here .
CROWD: I generally go in the evening and this place usually gets full.
The crowd management is not so great and this is my only complaint with the place.
While I'm happy that the place is doing well, I wish they could manage the crowd better , at least in the peak hours.
Many a times stag groups with large no of people will sit in the ground floor and couples are forced to sit on the rooftop, whereas the rooftop is more suitable for large group and ground floor rooms offer more privacy to the couples.
I really wish they would come up with some kind of mechanism to avoid this kind of situation.
Maybe stag entries should be banned in peak hours , or group of people should not be allowed in ground floor rooms or something similar. This would make it a much more better place.
Final Rating: 4/10
Last words: Well this is the place to be. I'm yet to find a better place in Bangalore which provides better hookah and experience than Qash. Highly recommended if you are coming here on a date or with your gf/bf , provided the place in not very full .View Less
