Casbah Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Best hummus around! I enjoyed everything as did my entire party. The lamb chops were excellent too.
Our waitress today was Savanah. There was nothing that she couldn't do. Absolute doll. She recommended an old city sampler that we loved. The weather was so nice that we sat outside.
Food, service and ambiance were fantastic! Never disappoints. This is one of my regular go-to's. Some of the best Mediterranean in town. Great servers and delicious cocktails!
It was the best hookah experience I've ever had with my fiance and I last night. I was so impressed with Savana's work. She made us Karak tea and it was fantastic. She recommended the old city sampler, which was wonderful, as well as a strawberry, watermelon, apple mint hookah, which tasted like a snapple. The atmosphere was amazing .It was a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to coming back on Monday for all day happy hour.
First time back at the Casbah after a decade and had an amazing experience. Our server, Savannah, was super attentive and friendly and the food was delicious and hot. Will definitely be returning soon!
Love this place! My friend and I sat on the outside patio enjoying beautiful weather, hookah, delicious food with a great ambiance! Our waitress was Alexis and she was amazing and gave outstanding service! ! Will definitely go back. Highly recommend this place!
Great food, Great staff, Victoria and Rami make you feel like family when you come in and dine. Really get the full Mediterranean hospitality with this place. My favorite Mediterranean spot in Jax!
Actually a very nice place. Bar area is where you can do the hookahs. Nice outside seating and the other side is non smoking. Good selection on menu and bar. Started off with grape leaves (meat ones and yes you have a choice) they were excellent. Probably some of the best I've had. Main course was gyro with saffron rice. Very stuffed and good tzatiki sauce. Ended the night with tiramisu dessert. All good. And the waitress was wonderful. Never been called "love" that many times... lol Will be back.
