    Tried something new today: Old sampler (hummus, tabbouleh, grape leafs, and falafel) & Arabic coffee. Very different, but great ! Thicker taste than American coffee. And of course, a coconut hookah!!

    Hang out at the Casbah for a few hours while you toke on an apple-plum-rose hookah. Grape leaves are a must with an Almaza to wash them down.

    The fries are like crack...one basket sometimes isn't enough! Also there is a drink or food requirement to get a hookah.

    Very poor service. Took almost an hour for appetizers to come up. It's a shame a nice hookah spot with good location has such lousy staff.

    Apparently call ahead seating means nothing.... Even with a party of 10... So be prepared to wait. :)

    Order the Casbah combo for two, even if there are three people. you will have more than enough food.
