Casbah Cafe

Tonight we enjoyed Casbah Cafe. Classic Mediterranean flavors…Steven enjoyed the lamb and beef gyro; Julia and I both ordered the chicken shawarma. Yummy hummus, tabbouleh, and tons of fresh pita bread.

Julia is still considering U. of Wisconsin--although there are no direct flights to Madison. The deadline is next Saturday. We've decided to visit OSU in Columbus, OH, over president's weekend. The amount of mail from OSU, NCSU, NU, Villanova, and Penn State is overwhelming.

Recommendation: Gyro or shawarma

Moby Dick: House of Kabob

Super Combo Salad

We could eat here every weekend...for the blog's sake, we'll explore other eateries.

 

There are 17 locations of Moby Dick--and we know why! The gyros and combos are flavorsome and filling (huge portions!). The place is always full and the wait for the food is never too long (and always worth it).

The last time we were here--two weeks ago--I think our focus was on Julia's boyfriend, Chris, and nothing regarding colleges.

 

Recommendation: The Super Combo salad or platter with sirloin and chicken are the tastiest.

Georgetown location

Casbah Cafe - Moroccan/Mediterranean

Last weekend, we ate at the Casbah Cafe in Georgetown. Loved it! We started with pita bread with yogurt sauce and fried calamari with marinara sauce--yummy. For entrees, we ordered lamb/beef gyro combo, beef/chicken gyro combo, and chicken souvlaki (perfect amount of spice). The combos came with hummus, rice, tabbouleh, and pita bread.

At first, it was a little disconcerting that there was only one other party in the restaurant; however, the food was wonderful.

Our conversation centered around getting together with the college counselor at school--common application, essays, deadlines.

 

Recommendation: Gyro or souvlaki--can't go wrong.
