What People Are Saying About Casbah

In Short – Rugs and weavings hang on the walls of this intimate, friendly spot, which attracts diverse palates in search of North African cuisine. Among the options, traditional kababs, couscous dishes and a handful of warm or cold appetizers like feta cheese and baba ghanoush. The perennial soup of the day is carrot-curry, available with pita. –

The Worst Experience!
by RB5 at Citysearch
I made reservations for 20 people for a birthday party and 15 minutes prior to arriving called to make sure that our table will be set for the requested time and I was assured that it will be. When we arrived, it was pretty clear that our table was not even close to being ready. When we POLITELY asked how long the wait might be, in a very rude manner we were told that we are free to leave if we're not willing to wait. It was not about the wait, but it was the manner in which we were spoken to. We asked this "gentleman" why he was being so rude and all he could say was "do you want to teach me how to properly speak". I?m assuming it was the owner, because who else would allow their employees to speak to their customers in such a disgusting way. The only reason we even allowed such disrespect is because we had to think about 20 people that were attending this dinner. We waited for about 40 minutes and walked out. As other patrons of the restaurant were leaving, they were appalled by the fact that their waiter asked them to speed things up since other people were waiting for a table. I?m speaking for 20 people, this was the most unpleasant experience and left a VERY bitter taste in my mouth.

Going here was a BIG MISTAKE
by RichardBlaseley at Citysearch
When we first walked by this place, it was empty. We should have taken a cue from this and skipped it. But we like Middle Eastern and Moroccan food so we gave it a try. BIG MISTAKE !!!
My lamb dish was served on a bed of RICE-A-RONI (NO, I am not kidding.... flavored instant rice mixed with those skinny noodles !!!!). The lamb was smelly and muttony-tasting. My friend's chicken "curry" dish was equally bad... big chunks of flavorless chicken thrown in at the last minute.
To top it off, our waiter was a big bull-sh*t artist.... talking endlessly about how "authentic" the food was, and how everything was made from "scratch".... my god what a LIAR. Do yourself a VERY BIG FAVOR and SKIP THIS JOINT.
- Pros: none
- Cons: bad food, high price, lousy waiter
