Go To Dearborn, Michigan Now!


Recommended Posts

More than welcome to Username lol.

I love it I go to work for 8 hours and my thread explodes into rascist idiocy.

*cue sappy violin solo*

For the record, I'm Jewish (not practicing) and have a large hebrew tattoo on my forearm, and have never been given trouble by a middle-easterner...let's remember, fear and misunderstanding breed contempt and blind hatred and those are things we are better without. Let's try to be open to other cultures than our own, we're all human baings and are no different from eachother where it counts....inside. If that wasn't enough my Jewish sister is engaged to a Lebanese guy proving that we CAN all get along.

At any rate, for some facts, Dearborn has about a 30% Lebanese American population that started in the automotive boom of the early 1900's. They also have a large Armenian population and a growing influx of people from Iraq since the war.

SO HOW BOUT THAT KILO OF NAKHLA FOR 20 BUCKS EH?!?!?!?!?!

You know what Hellcat its all good everybody makes mistakes its what we do after is what makes us who we are. You apologized which is all that was needed. Anyway Ninja I am so tempted to tell my friend to get me a kilo of Nakhla if only I had the 20 bucks to spare haha. O well I have enough tobacco for now and I am probably asking my friend to get me 500g of Nakhla instead of 1 Kilo tongue.gif

Yeah the few 250 jars they had were all leaky Srawas so I'd have him pick up the 250 tins, although they're 7 bucks instead of 5.

Algoshnia, thanks for another place to check out smile.gif You said "in" Warren I'm assuming you mean on Warren Ave and not in the city of Warren? At any rate gotta love the DA. It was kinda cool, I was there holding the kilo debating and a dude in his 70-80s who I'm sure is a regular customer there walked in right to where the 250 boxes are and grabbed up 500g of DA paid and walked right back out lol. That sealed the deal for me.

Like I said, I apologized for over-generalizing them.

But that doesn't change what happened to my friends.

Btw ninja robot, I like your banner haha



Any generalization is usually bad. Should tell you sometime about all my Arab friends that have gotten beaten up/harassed/etc by Jewish extremists, or my Palestinian friend whose Uncle got shot right after 9/11 just for being Arab...

Or also about all my jewish/muslim/arab/christian/etc friends who come over for hookah and don't really care about all the racism/stereotypes/etc and just enjoy nice hookah and nice company

are you willing to back there because i live about 25 minutes away from there and i have been wanted to get a new hookah and i want some one with knowledge to help


Sure, I'd have no problem with that. Grosse Pointe eh? I used to housepaint and our business was almost exclusively there. I also lived in the Park and went to GPS for a semester. Just PM me and we can figure out when and whee to meet up etc etc. I have a fairly busy schedule having a wife in school, kids, and work but I'd love an excuse to go out there again and helping out a fellow hookah smoker is a great excuse.

Hey you. Buy me one of those big AF pipes. I WANT. SO BAD.


Hey you. Send me that Nour in your avatar. That's the EXACT same pipe they had in the store with the genie base that I've fallen in love with.

Yea Ninja its ON Warren just West of Schafer. called World Hookah, but they dont have the GREATEST selection, BUT they do have the kilo Nakhla double apple, which I couldnt find anywhere besides this place. I think it was going for $20 last time i checked (2 weeks ago). Oh they also have Coco Nara's 16 piece packs for $3, cheaper than Hookah Shisha and no waiting for shipping (84 piece for $15 + shipping charges)

Wellll, they have a ton of Nakhla for 5 bucks a 250 and AF for 10 at Al-amir. They also have AF coconut coals at a good price, 4 bucks a 30 pk 8 bucks for the 60 pk or a box of 100 3K for 10 bucks if you prefer QLs.

They have tiny conservation bowls glazed and unglazed that you might find cvool, I'ma get one next time I go.

And of course the hookahs lol. Get a KM Kephri for 75 bucks or see if he'll sell you a AF pipe like I got (36 inch) for 85 like I got - never hurts to ask.

Have fun!

I'm debating heading to Dearborn on Saturday and from what I understand it's most def. worth it for the shisha. Can someone tell me the best places to buy and the addresses for these places. Also what are the best brands there and overall in your guys' opinion. Thanks a ton.

It depends on what you want. Al-Amir on West Warren Avenue has Al Fakher for 10 bucks a 250 and Nakhla for 5 dollars a 250. Can't get much better than that, it's what I consider "my" local shop. They also have the tins/tubs of some Nakhla flavors which are typically better than the boxes and kilos of some AF flavors. It's on Warren Ave. between the Southfield freeway and Shafer. World Hookah is a little more expensive and also primarily carries AF and Nakhla, they are just east of Shafer. Go to Al Ajamy across the street a little ways further towards Shafer on the opposite side of the street for awesome lebanese food.

As far as the 20 dollar kilo, they gave me a special price on that so I dunno if they'd give you the same, doesn't hurt to ask though.

well im the UK its hard to ask tongue.gif biggrin.gif

i was hoping someone could hook me up?


After shipping, it wouldn't be much of a hookup. You're probably best sticking with companies who know how to pack tobacco for int'l sales.

Omg bro I know what your talking about. Dearborn is crazy!!! I swear to god there is not 1 block/turn or anything that does not have a hookah in it. Dearborn is the hookah place. That place is crazy. Shatila is good as heck its probaly the best middle eastern bakery in michigan, You try the baklawa? Well it's amazing there. A nice place is Sinbad, You buy ANY MEAL around or over 10 bucks, you get a free hookah. Pretty amazing. Well dearborn is the shit. I love driving up there from Novi or from Southfield when I visit my friends.
