The establishment initially opened as Zen hookah lounge on Route 9 in 2023 and now they’re looking to relocate.
Zen Dining Lounge in Wappingers Falls has closed its doors as of Feb. 1. It was announced in Dec. 2022 that a new hookah lounge was coming to Wappingers Falls. The business was looking to move into the Hannoush Plaza on Route 9 in the Village of Wappingers. Zen Hookah was seeking approval to take over the former Tamarind location next to Bagel World. Tamarind is a highly-rated Indian restaurant that moved out of the small space into the former Bonefish Grill further north on Route 9 in the Town of Poughkeepsie.

When they opened in April of 2023 as Zen Hookah Lounge, the mission was to provide a sanctuary for patrons to relax, socialize and experience the traditional art of hookah smoking in a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere.
Eventually they transitioned int Zen Dining Lounge (dropping hookah from the name) and becoming a premium, upscale-yet-welcoming spot offering Caribbean food, cocktails, often featuring DJ’s and other live entertainment including 90’s Hip Hop icon Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tank Clan. Known for its vibrant music, attentive service, and dishes like jerk wings and lamb chops, it served as a popular spot for dining, socializing, and, nightlife,.
