Editorial Review for Kasbah Authentic Moroccan Restaurant – by Jill Lightner
The Scene
Low couches, embroidered leather cushions, layered carpets and jewel-toned hanging lamps: This dining room feels a long way from Greenwood. Two spacious dining areas allow for a choice between luxuriant privacy or a prime seat during one of the belly dance shows. The staff is happy to offer as much education as is needed--if Moroccan food is a new experience, don't hesitate to speak up.
The Food
Order a la carte or have the entire party order the five-course feast-either way, portions are the proper balance between generous and overwhelming. Simple pickled carrots stimulate the appetite before the arrival of b'stilla, a sugar-topped confection filled with almonds, egg and chicken. Entrees range from sweet apricot-sauced chicke to garlicky grilled meat. Desserts vary seasonally, but expect a treat--even a simple fruit cup is finished with exotic rosewater and cardamom.

Insider Tips
Where to SitThe low cushions require a careful balancing act. If knees or backs are a problem, arrange things to sit on the comfortable--and stable--sofas.
Know Before You GoMoroccan food is typically eaten with the fingers, from shared plates. The staff brings around warm water and towels to help keep diners clean between courses.
When to GoBelly dancing shows begin between 7:30pm and 8pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Each show lasts about 20 minutes and the dancers may encourage diners to join in.
What to DrinkThe medium-bodied Moroccan lager goes well with every course. Lightly sweetened hot mint tea is brought with dessert.

What an experience, I could have easily been sitting in Casblanca. Between the exceptionally food, outstanding hospitality, excellent service, exotic spices, stimulating decor of tapestry and testures, along with the taste of jazzman tea, smell of rose water, and the sight and sound of their belly dancer , we felt a thousand miles away from Seattle. What a treat! I went with my friend from Morocco (who is very particular about his food) and rated the food and experience a Top 10, highlighting how authentic and genuine everything was. Kasbah is diffinitely a place to come back too and recommend to others!!
Pros: an authentic experience

I attended a function at Kasbah a couple of days ago and my experience left me BREATHLESS! From the perfect decor, sensuous smells, mouth watering food (the lamb just falls off the bone), and stellar staff...I have not had such a stimulating experience at a restaurant in a very long time. To top the evening off, Kasbah also had a Belly Dancing that evening. The Belly Dancer was beautiful, engaging, and an obvious pro! The group did not want our magical night to end. Breathless and pleasantly surprised!
Pros: Food, Price, Decor, Belly Dancer, Service, Parking
Cons: Nada!
