Mirage Knoxville

My husband and i always go to a new hookah bar when we travel.
From California to New York this was by far the best hookah bar experience we’ve ever had.
It was my husband’s 27th birthday today and he even said this was one of his favorite birthdays so far because of the amazing experience.
The food was authentic, fresh, and packed with flavor (also made in house), the hookah was well made, the atmosphere made me feel like i transported to Egypt, the drinks tasted great, and THE SERVICE the service was impeccable.
I can’t remember our waiters name but he said he was trying to get into med school so hopefully he gets the credit he deserves.
Next time we are in town this place is on our bucket list to revisit and this time we will go on a night there are belly dancers to really elevate the experience!

Such a unique and awesome atmosphere! Amazing, friendly, helpful staff.
We decided to have our wedding reception here and it was everything we could’ve asked for or ever wanted.
Delicious food, attentive staff, and I didn’t have to decorate anything! It already has enough character on its own.
Love this place and its people! 🥰🤍 Shoutout to Omar and Noah!

Behind the bar is disgusting first of all (see pictured).
Bartender/“master mixologist” is making lemon drops with peach schnapps.
Nuff said.
Nothing is halal.
They’re lying and only want your money.
If you’re obviously tipsy already they’re serving you half shots if there’s alcohol in the drink at all (yes they will serve you pure mixer @ $15 a pop if they think you’re drunk).
The hookah is marked up 1000%.
Check your receipt cuz they probably added an auto gratuity when you weren’t looking.
They close mirage when the health inspector shows up.
Quite literally a scam of a business.
Cockroaches.
How do I know? I worked there :D the owner (Omar) mooches off his girlfriend and the real owner of the place, only reason they’re still “alive and well” as a business.
I’ve got more of anyone has questions :))
