Casbah Restaurant

A Morocco themed middle eastern restaurant in the Germantown area. We visited for lunch. It was not crowded, and there was only one guy managing everything from serving the food, to taking orders, and etc. we started with a starter platter of hummus and falafel with pita. The hummus was decent, so as the falafel. However, the pita breads were very disappointing. They were evidently not the house baked one, neither very fresh, nor fluffy. Moving on to the main entree, the shawarma roll was good. But the chicken shish kabob platter was below average. The only good thing was the yellow rice. The rice was aromatic and tasty. There were a few boiled veggies on top. The chicken skewers were not much tasty- rather boring chunks of chicken breasts, grilled and seasoned with some spices. They were chewy, hard. Overall it’s a pretty ordinary place with overrated food.

Nice quaint restaurant with a Mediterranean flair! The food was outstanding! Reminded me of my travels to Morocco. Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! I would definitely recommend this location!

Pros: -real vegan options even desserts! -really fresh flavors -knowledgeable & flexible staff Cons: -too far away On a road trip and we stopped here for some fare that catered to all eaters. As a vegan, I was excited to read reviews about all the good options. The staff was quite knowledgeable about what was vegan. Collectively, we ate the Falafel sandwich Middle Eastern Big Mac!, Chicken Shawarma, mushroom gyro vegan!, Egyptian hawawshi, and beef & lamb shawarma. Of course we got the grape leaves and baklava both vegan!, which was quite fresh! Sorry, we ate too fast for pre-eating pictures, and I didn't want to make Will feel self-conscious by posting my photo of him licking the baklava plate Our server was also really understanding that our party of six needed separate checks for reimbursement purposes. Overall, it was an awesome and authentic experiment. If I'm ever in the area again, I will make sure to stop again!

Food was amazing especially since I tried some different dishes. The hot tea was great. The service was good and food came out very quickly so not a long wait. The server was very friendly and promoted the food very wellDine in: Yes

Amazing food! I had the eggplant parmesan for my entree, for appetizers our table had spanakopita and casbah chips, and for dessert we had baklava, and all of it was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend the sweet tea too. Eat here if you want real Mediterranean food.

Taste was good but the service was slow, although we were the only customers in the restaurant.

Always the best experience coming to Casbah. I’ve been going for years & they never disappoint!! From the atmosphere, service & incredible food - this is a must try! Especially the Moroccan Soup & Hummus!!

TEA TEA TEA! You have to try the tea, I suggest hot and I normally drink iced tea but it is so good! We also got the chicken shawarma and it did not disappoint. Thank you Casbah for making this experience so great!

Love their Chicken Shawerma with pita bread and sauces. My kids loved their Chicken Shawerma plates and they looked very pleasing to be takeout. Really good Mediterranean food. This place is definitely worth a visit.

I love Mediterranean, but the food was not well seasoned like it is at most Mediterranean restaurants. No one in our party of 5 enjoyed their food. The pita fries weren't good at all I was so disappointed. The only thing I enjoyed was the hot tea. It was delicious. The server was very nice, but we had to ask him to change a dirty table cloth and he changed it but let us know it was "just oil" on the table cloth as if it mattered what it was. Also the first table we sat at, the tabletop literally almost flipped over and it was not secure which was how we ended up at the other table.
