"Seattle's Best Moroccan Restaurant" Friends of Morocco, Spring 2005 If you live in the Northwest you have to check out Kasbah, Seattle's best Moroccan restaurant. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Ballard, the place is all done up with the usually fancy ponges, drapey fabric and ornate tables but somehow it still feels homey and relaxed. It's the sort of place where you could sit and drink mint tea for hours and their food is fantastically authentic. Try out the Kasbah D'yaffa Feast, the 5 course dinner. It begins with soup, salad and b'stilla. You have a choice of…

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…

I attended the Kasbah feeling great and warmed up to the enviroment inside. The food smelled and tasted great. The flavor was perfect and just right to get you eating more. The service kept you in your seat. The waiter was welcoming and was checking in on us to see if we were doing great and we were enjoying our time here. I highly recommend the Kasbah, you wont regret coming here, trust me its a journey you soon wont forget, I'm definitly coming back.

Truly delicious and authentic food , an experience to remember, two thumbs up!

by yaffacohen at Citysearch

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

Kasbah Leaves me BREATHLESS!

by BeautifulOnes at Citysearch

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!
