The Sultan Café is the ‘go to’ lunch spot for my co-workers and I. When I first started going there, a plethora of large opulent-looking hookahs held up one corner of the restaurant, crooning passerbys with their lonely song: “smoke me, smoke me, let’s be friends.” This was before the city of Portland made it illegal for a business to allow hookah smoking on its premise. Fortunately, there’s a loophole: a private members club.
The Sultan Café Hoohak Membership card dons the slogan “Explore a buzz 700 years in the making.” This is one smoking club that means business (or pleasure, I should say). The hookah action happens between 6pm and 1am every Thursday-Saturday. If you would like to sign up for a membership, stop in and talk to Mike. He’s a great guy with a knowledge of food and and a passion for good hookah!
