Kasbah: A Refreshing Mediterranean Food Experience

We just got off from the gym in The Fort strip and was wondering where to grab dinner that was both healthy and yet quite tasty. We were supposed to head to Mango Tree, but for a change we decided not to go any further and just pay a visit to this rather Mediterranean ambiance of a resto nearby called Kasbah (kasbah or Qasbah (Arabic: القصبة al-qaṣbah) or qassabah is a type of medina, Islamic city, or fortress). 
Upon walking in, you'd immediately identify the strong Middle Eastern feel of the place, from the 
furnishing to the lights and sounds and even the way the flooring, windows and wall fixings have been placed. All to be honest reminds me of my time in Saudi Arabia, making me miss my home a little bit. I personally love the music and the artworks that showed muslim culture (though I am not a muslim, but I just really love their art pieces and accents). Everything about the place just made everyone feel so relaxed. Outside one could even get to use the Shisha or water pipe, with family and friends. 
Beautiful Rustic Appeal of Kasbah - It literally takes you to a different world

Guests really feel at home as they are surrounded by beautiful pieces of art from the lighting to intricate designs of the windows and more.

The main theme of Kasbah is surrounded by these inspirations
On to the food, Kasbah has a huge selection of favorite arabic/middle eastern comfort food that just made my mouth water. It is all made from the freshest ingredients from the salad to the main entrees. Service is also quite exceptional and it just brings the overall positive feel about the place. 

We were looking for something vegetarian in the menu and we decided to go with the Parsley Tabbouleh that we ate with warm and moist pita bread and hummus. We also ordered Fish Kebabs as the main course partnered with Seven Vegetable Couscous, which was just divine to the taste. The Seven Vegetable Couscous was my favorite especially when they mixed the vegetable broth with a bit of spicey yoghurt. It was so good and quite filling. Our plates were literally wiped clean from the sauces. The vegetable broth we also used as a dip for our oven warmed pita bread. 
The Skewered Fish Kebabs were just so Juicy and tasty. You can add the pesto and yoghurt sauce to add more flavor and trust me it takes it to the next level.  
This was my personal favorite - Seven Vegetable Couscous. It really reminds me of home cooked Arabic meals that just fills you up with all the best Middle Eastern flavors in a bowl. They even added the Vegetable Broth and Spicy Sauce to add even more flavor to a dish that is already pretty amazing.

This was our starter dish - Tabbouleh - We had it with pita bread and hummus. It was the best salad/appetizer of the day. 
Drinks are also quite unique and is a must try for those that want to get a taste of something a little different in terms of mixes. 

Overall, there is really nothing I can say to make people realize how wonderful the place is. It is one of those places where you really just have to take time out from your day to come and visit and experience Mediterranean Cooking at its finest. It's healthy and yet so tasty that you'll get to start a craving for their dishes from the moment you take your first bite.
