Return to the Kasbah Lounge

More on the Kasbah Lounge.
One good visit deserves another, so we have been back twice more. We brought friends both times, once sitting at a table, the next time in our favorite place on the cushioned bench with low tables.
WAIT STAFF: They were busy both times, yet attentive. On our second return trip, I felt like we were getting our food in a hurry and felt rushed.
DRINKS: Kasbah has been out of their featured Mediterranean beers, with only one available, for the last two months. Too bad. If they could not make it more consistent, they should have had the menu say "ask us about our Mediterranean beers.' Just a suggestion.
FOOD: In addition to the other dishes we already love, we had Stuffed Dates and Kefta. Excellent. The fiery cheese dish is also a hit. The only strange thing was this; the dates were small and seemed to be breaded before fried, and there were six of 'em, on our first return visit. The second time, they were almost tempura style, large, only four. But both times, equally delicious.
The Kasbah still rates all the happy faces Ole Cranky gave it last time. It is someplace I'll take adventurous out-of-town guests to.
