Will never go back here again !! We had been waiting for over an hour and finally served the food without silverware. We were screaming our lungs out until someone finally came and gave me a fork and knife to eat rice , really are you guys serious? Finally the owner of the food place arrived with the worst attitude ever yelling why am writing a low review about her restaurant, mind you I was just reading the reviews to see if we we’re the only ones complaining and she came and yelled at us again. Steer away from this place unless you want to be bullied and disrespected. I visited you guys from San Francisco hoping to have a good dinner .

My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves here. The atmosphere was dimly lit and intimate and the music was a modern take on middle eastern and Mediterranean mixed with some Rock. I liked the cozy couches along the wall of the restaurant. Our service was great. I wish I had gotten our server’s name because she was hustling. Even with being short staffed, she was attentive and interactive. I was a little disappointed when their menu shows over 15 “Anise & More” style spirits but my server was not aware of which spirits they had stocked. Come to find out, they only had 1 and I’m not sure if it was even on the menu. So, for drinks, I ordered Corsair Red Absinthe (only one they had), and my wife ordered Habibi’s Elixir. I’m not too familiar with red absinthe but it tastes like black licorice. I later learned that anise and fennel, which is what the drink is made from, have similar flavors. It was less harsh in ice and it was awesome to see the transparent red liquid turn to an opaque white when mixed with H2O. For starters, we did Fatima’s pallet which is the hummus, lebne and baba ghanoush, served with pita bread and papadom. Flavors were exquisite and unique. Also, it was a nice appetizer to satiate our hunger without being too filling. For entrées, I ordered the Kefta Tagine Stew and my wife ordered the Kasburger with a salad. The cilantro tomato sauce in the stew was a perfect combination of balancing flavors. The spiced meatballs were tender and complimenting, the rice was cooked perfectly and the Lebne in the middle is the proverbial cherry on top that completes this dish. Highly recommend this dish . My wife’s burger was pretty good too. I only had one bite but I remember the bite being soft with subtle essence. Her salad was on another level as well. Those Mediterranean flavors are fresh and dynamic. Lastly, there was this awkward confrontation between the bartender and some guests that were complaining about the way a drink was made. The bartender felt the need to speak to the guests from the bar which wasn’t really loud but loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear and for my wife and I to give each other raised eyebrows. The bartender needs to talk to the server so the server can relay the message. Not talk to the guests across the restaurant. Overall, really good. Food was amazing, service was good and atmosphere was vibrant. Small adjustments; menu needs to reflect inventory, server’s need to brush up on bar stock and bartenders need to be aware of their actions. I do recommend this restaurant and my wife and I will be going back

Food is good. Location is nice. Ambiance is awesome. Prices are okay. Serive is very poor. They didn’t give us much attention or catered to a large group. They are nice but don’t seem to be staffed to serve when they are a bit busier. When not so busy service is better. I adjusted stars from 3 to 4

If you haven’t been to Kasbah, you’re missing out! The food and drinks are fantastic. Sit outside and people watch enjoying happy hour. Their fries are delicious and my favorite snack.

I’ve been coming here for years and the staff is always super friendly and fun to chat with. The food is amazing. Fatoush salad vegan style with two falafels is a requirement for us every time we go. They make great drinks (caipirinhas, sangrias, and more). They serve proper silver needle white tea. The babaganoush is amazing. I can’t comment on the non-vegan stuff but I am sure it is great too. Pre-covid they used to have hookah which was always great fun. Love love this place. A gem

Very retro, kind of quirky, funky decor. The food was delicious. Excellent. My wife and I ordered identical plates: chicken kabobs, rice, hummus, pita bread, tabouli and a splash of yogurt. Chicken kabobs were the best we’ve had in the Sacramento area!! I’d really love to give a 5-star rating; but, the server was indifferent, lacked hospitality skills… just made us feel like an inconvenience. We’re hoping the server just had a rough day. Anyway, we’ll be back… because the food was so yummy.

The food and drinks here are fantastic. I had the babacanoush and pita along with the vegan stew. All of which were lovely and I have enough for a meal tomorrow leftover 🙂

The food here is excellent. We arrived right when the restaurant opened and had beef and chicken shawarma plates. Excellent seasoning. We also had the lebna which was also delicious. Inside, there is music, which plays louder than your typical restaurant. It is also very dark/dimly lit inside.
