Casbah

Cuisine: European, Mediterranean

Price Range: $$

10Best Says

With a menu featuring a seductive blend of Mediterranean and Northern African specialties, Casbah rocks well into the evening. The wide-open space sparkles with ornate paintings and furniture, and lattice window covers dignify the interior with a feeling of exclusivity and separation from the outside bustle. In addition, a year-round heated patio is a cozy spot to dine. Couscous and lentils with shrimp tease out a surprisingly full flavor without the heaviness of beef or lamb tainting palate and wallet. A prix-fixe brunch for $22 is offered that includes a cocktail.
