Input: This is a two part review.

The cafe portion of Paymon's is actually quite nice, and is the only reason one should patronize this business. The food overall is delicious, with a variety of Mediterranean with some American fusion and South Asian cuisine rounding out the menu. The Athens Fries are without the best French fries I've had at ANY establishment, so they are a must get when going. Otherwise, the rest of the menu is fairly consistent in quality (not necessarily authenticity) and should be experimented with. The gyros, pastas, kabobs and curries have all been worthwhile dishes to try in my opinion. Lastly, the cafe has some great ambiance, especially during lunch time, with plenty of natural lighting and well-done decor.

Paymon's would be worthy of a 4 or a 5 star review if only the cafe were being reviewed. Unfortunately the attached hookah lounge prevents that. Simply put, Paymon's serves some of the worst and most overpriced hookah in the city. It's actually appalling how bad it is, given the quality of nearly everything else about the establishment. First, Paymon's uses molasses, an extremely inferior alternative to sheesh a tobacco. Flavors are weaker, and the amount of smoke produced is pathetic. This goes hand in hand with absolutely mind-boggling decision to use instant lighting charcoals. The charcoals are of very, very low quality and burn out easy, which is why Paymon's uses a metal cover to insulate the heat of the coal, a practice that typically results in burning the bowl. The ultimate kick in the groin is that despite using coals that are low quality and burn out quickly, additional coals are NOT free, when practically every other hookah lounge will give you at least 2-3 coal refills, if not more on request. Overall, despite the ambiance and food menu, the lounge is definitely not worth it if you were expecting a good hookah experience. Stick to the cafe.
