Thank you for the great time! – We had a good time in the backyard garden and the waiters did not rush us or anything. It was very relaxing.

I like to come here and enjoy some hookah. It is $20 for 4 people and they have tons of flavors. There is also a 1 min. beverage charge but that is nothing. I just got an iced mint tea to go with my hookah. The hookah lasted 2 hours without changing the coal.

Hookah cake and good food – I like Cloister because I am so confused by what it is but I love the fact it has hookah and cakes! What an interesting combination.

Awesome place, with strong drinks – "I had a mojito, which was ok. Most unique aspect - both bathrooms have 2 toilets in it! In my tipsy state, it took me by surprise. But it's cool, I'll often share a cubicle with my gf. But this takes that to another level."

Lots of seating and nice hookas – Cute place with lots of outdoor space. It's a nice place to chill on a summer night. The scent of hookah smoke wafted throughout the area.
