| - I got my Big Burrito birthday meal voucher in the mail, and I couldn't decide which place to try. I am a huge fan of Eleven and Mad Mex, but I wanted to try somewhere new. I had previously sampled Casbah's food when they catered the dinner for Quantum Theater's production of Tamara. I enjoyed the food at that event so I settled on coming here.
The atmosphere of Casbah is really cute. It's slightly upscale, but you will still feel comfortable in nice jeans. There is a Mediterranean theme to the atmosphere, but I don't know that the food is themed that way, despite what Yelp says.
I ordered the Lamb Macaroni and Cheese because I am a Mac and Cheese addict. The portion was exactly lunch sized, and it came with a small salad. The salad was really just a spring mix of lettuce with an oil dressing, but it tasted good. The mac and cheese was delicious. Plenty of lamb and lots of cheese. It was on the creamy side of the mac and cheese scale. I would order it again, but I would also like to try other things on the menu. My friends ordered a sandwich and one ordered a bowl of soup. The sandwich eater felt her turkey sandwich was pretty standard, but it was a turkey sandwich. The soup eater was a fan. Again, I plan to come back and test other things.
As a side note: The catered meal I previously tried was family-style chicken with potatoes and veggies, I believe. It was good but not what I would expect after seeing the menu for them to serve. I think you are safe to try just about anything here, really.
The only odd thing was that the servers really seemed to be fighting for tables. Everyone was trying to get our drink and food orders, to the point of it being a touch aggressive. Not a big deal just an observation.
