Aria Lounge

"Aria Lounge is a Galleria hookah spot connected to Aria Suya Kitchen. When the Nigerian restaurant is open, you can enjoy flavored smoke alongside some of Houston's best West African food. Even though Aria has the best bites on this list, the excitement stops there. The space is compact—you can see the doors into the kitchen from the entrance—and since they don’t take reservations, it can feel cramped on a busy night. Plus, the service is in no rush, so getting in and out is not a realistic goal. But if you had dinner at Aria Suya Kitchen and aren’t ready to end your night, Aria Lounge is a convenient place to split a mango blast hookah for a nightcap." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
