Hookah is a centuries-old social tradition that remains to this day an integral part of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culture. It is an experience that provides guests with an enticing alternative to the loud music and overcrowded spaces of the bar scene. Instead, Divan uses the hookah tradition to create a social experience where people can dine in a relaxed atmosphere. The hookah itself... known as nargila or sheesha, is an ancient water pipe that uses a mixture of fruit-flavored molasses and a minimal amount of tobacco. The hookah compresses smoke through water which acts as a cooling filter. Hookah tobacco contains no tar and the trace amount of nicotine is filtered out by the water in the base.
