Amazing atmosphere, excellent food

I love this restaurant. We eat here whenever we are in Savannah. The decor and ambiance are amazing -- you really do feel like you're walking straight into a super-fancy Bedoin tent. On the menu, several items are vegan. I recommend getting the Veg Bastila (it's an appetizer, but I have it as my entree because it's my favorite thing on the menu), the Veg Tagine, and the Veg Kabobs. Surprisingly, the Veg Couscous is cooked in meat broth, so you'll want to avoid that. Just make sure to tell your server that you're vegan, and they'll take care of you -- many are SCAD students and so they are understanding and accommodating.

The seating is low to the ground and has a somewhat communal feel. Before they bring your food, they will stop by your table with a silver pitcher of rose water so that you can "cleanse" your hands -- really lovely.

The live belly dancing is beautiful and fun, and the dancers will usually bring up a few patrons for a short interactive session and teach them a few moves. It's a blast! There's also a small retail area in the front of the restaurant where you can buy incense burners, scarves, jewelry, clothing, belly dancing gear, etc.

Pros: The Veg Bastila is DELICIOUS!, Ambiance is amazing, Convenient location

Cons: Expensive, Veg couscous is cooked in meat broth

Omnis were eating off my veg plate

I went to Casbah with a group of friends and none of them were veg, but once they tried my vegan bastila, they wanted more and some even ordered their own to take home. My vegetables kebab was good, but not great. However, that bastila more than made up for it. A very nice environment with fun, interactive dancers. One thing to note though for those of us who wear low rise jeans... the low seating can definitely cause some major crack exposure so be prepared!

Pros: Delicious bastila, Great environment

Yummy and Fun!!

Hey, I love any resturant that has more than one veggie friendly option. Now throw in some belly dancing? Sweet. If it's a small group (under 5), you probably won't need a reservation. The belly dancers are fabulous. And it's interactive, if you so wish. The only down fall is they give you a lot of starch on your plate (but that was true of the meals of my meat eating friends too). And the chairs are low to the ground (only a problem if you have hip or knee issues). But the food is always tasty. The service is great. Just make sure to ask what kind of broth they're using to prepare your meal with. And (unlike most "ethnic food" in this area) this is pretty dead on for Moraccan/Mediteranian food.

I completely recommend Casbahs!!!

Pros: Belly Dancers!, Great staff, Wonderful food.
