Mazzika Mediterranean Restaurant, Virginia Beach

Mazzika Mediterranean Restaurant's chefs oversee a small menu of iconic Middle Eastern foods, turning out tasty plates of falafel and hummus and grilling sizzling kabobs. However, the eatery's reputation for pleasing palates doesn't just come from its kitchen. The lounge doubles as a hookah bar, where the fruity, flavorful smoke of its extensive shisha collection fills the air with an inviting aroma. Between bits of pita and puffs of smoke, guests can also take in the visual show; the lounge frequently hosts bellydancers and live DJ sets, and televisions often broadcast an eclectic mix of Top 40 and Middle Eastern music videos.
