Sweet hookah smoke at Divan's.

Divan Restaurant and Hookah Lounge touts itself as Atlanta's sexiest restaurant and this could very well be the case. It certainly had great ambiance and seemed to attract a number of couples. There are four areas of the house-turned-restaurant off of Piedmont Avenue. A patio area at the front entrance is shrouded in trees and vines. A lounge downstairs offers overstuffed cushions and intimate little nooks. A bar flanks the lounge area and then upstairs is standard seating. The lighting is dark and sultry and  there is just something so sensual about sofas, pillows, hummus and many clouds of fruit tobacco.

Hookah smoke is not necessarily safer than cigarette or cigar smoke but is definitely more legal than other smoking options such as pot, crack, meth, etc. In the company of friends, good food and soothing music, it can be quite a relaxing and pleasantly aromatic undertaking. At Divan,  one can receive the much needed serenity for which one may be desperately seeking. The practice is both sweet, calming and pleasantly aromatic. Feel free to accompany your shisha with a cocktail called Sunsplash which includes Belvedere and Grand Marnier. Take in some crab risotto croquettes, seared tuna and eggplant on pita. It is delicious.

Divan stays open pretty late for a dining establishment. Tuesday  through Thursday until 1:00am. On weekends, as late as 2:00am. Monday's smoke ends at 12:00am. Put a little money aside before you go to this joint because it is a bit pricey.
