HuQQabaz First Avenue

Contemporary lounge music supports long meals and hookah conversations; match screenings and occasional events can change the pace. Do not assume a regular DJ or live act; check announcements for this branch.

A modern mall and open marketplace feel is calmer by day and livelier with groups in the evening. Comfortable tables suit extended visits.

All day Turkish and international breakfasts, grilled dishes, sharing plates and desserts with signature drinks and modern hookah service. Food and hookah are equally central.

Adult friend groups and couples planning a long meal and hookah session, and guests wanting an easygoing social space throughout the day.

Comfortable, neat smart casual clothing works, including shirts, T shirts, dresses or clean sneakers. No specific dress rule has been confirmed; choose clothes comfortable for a long visit.

HuQQabaz First Avenue is well-suited for long, leisurely visits, thanks to its comfortable seating, calm and thoughtful design, diverse hookah flavors, and spectacular drink presentations. Batuhan’s floor management, recommendations from Emir and Bahadır, and the tableside preparation of light tiramisu elevate the service standards. Recently, however, there has been an increase in complaints regarding stale food, delayed service, and long waits for staff responses when summoned. Issues such as simple orders—like pizza, burgers, and salads—arriving incomplete after an hour-long wait, as well as difficulties communicating in foreign languages, are reported. The venue is comfortable, though the speed of kitchen service and hookah preparation can drop noticeably during peak hours.
