Dallas' smoking ban did a serious number on their hookah business.
Come to Al Amir - Addison to see bellydancing and enjoy Lebanese cuisine (hookahs still available)!

Sun, August 23, 2009 - 7:03 PMHonestly --- I don't know if the smoking ban/hookah was actually the problem. The place was so run down, and we didn't have good service the last time I was there.
Entertainment was fabulous, of course. ;o) -

Sun, August 23, 2009 - 7:17 PMunfortunatly its not in the best neighborhood.
I still think hookah;s should be exempt
They are basing this whole smoking thing on cigarettes.
Its funny what we deem neccesary to close down and what we choose to keep open

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 8:05 AMYou can smoke hookahs at the Addison location and they do have a smoking area. It's still okay in Addison....but who knows for how long :(

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 2:23 PMI've heard from several of my Arab friends about the Dallas ban and the ban proposed in Richardson. A lot of them, not all, are considering it as a racist move to put them out of business, and out of competition with the other restaurant owners. -

Wed, August 26, 2009 - 3:33 PMI think there has been smoking a lot longer than the new fad of hookahs........ geesh.
Everything is pink when you wear rose-colored glasses. -

Sat, August 29, 2009 - 4:44 PMExactly! I think they are just trying to use discimination. Maybe they should point the finger at poor service, declining food quality and a bad economy instead of racism.
*rolls eyes*
And let's be honest, the majorty of smokers aren't Arabs. It's average joe white dude at the bar. -

Mon, August 31, 2009 - 7:35 AMI haven't been to the Greenville location in quite a while. Last couple of times I have been there, it was packed. $10 cover to get in, too. Things change in the restaurant business faster than a bellydancer's costume, sometimes. ;-) -
