editorial profile:



The exotic Kasbah Lounge with its hookah pipes, alluring lighting, plushy pillows and tasty menu has lassoed the affections of Midtown scenesters for its unique late-night offerings. Only at the Kasbah can one nosh on Middle Eastern cuisine and puff on strawberry tobacco while being entertained by a belly-dancing troupe. Owned by the same folks who brought Sacramento Tapa the World, Kasbah’s menu offers small and large plate dining, such as stuffed dates, garlic prawn kabob, cinnamon chicken, falafel pita and a rare ahi tuna rubbed with spices. Its kitchen doesn’t close until 3 a.m., which gives locals a place to eat and drink Turkish coffee well after the bars close. If you make this your destination spot for the night, Kasbah has a dynamite drink selection with cocktails such as the Kasbahpolitan, plus a bevy of spirits from Morocco, Lebanon and Syria.Get there early and camp out at one of the outdoor tables, pack a hookah pipe and anticipate the arrival of the belly dancers.

" Kasbah is an excellent place few seem to know about. The dishes are different in a good way and what you might call exotic. They have a bar filled with different boozes than your local dive and they even have Absinthe on the cocktail menu. "
