Cafe Casbah - Overland Park

My husband and I may not be gourmet eaters but we like good food, good service and a menu we like. We LOVE the seafood bisque. It could have a bit more spice but it's a cupful of seafood...can't beat that. All dinners come with a fresh salad, sides of yummy carrots and wonderful fried zucchini. They offer veal, steak, lamb, seafood, chicken...all with similar sauces available and I haven't eaten anything yet I didn't like. We're in the 60 year old group but my 30 year old son and his wife also love it here as do our other kids. It's a small place that could use some updated wall covering but the reasonable prices for all that good food make it easy to overlook. They have a coupon in the Entertainment Book but it's worth the regular price without a coupon! Give it a try.

This was probably my worst experience in any Mediterranean restaurant. 1. There was only one couple in the restaurant (8:00 pm) on Friday night. 2. One of the attendants was not friendly. Not sure why...maybe he was getting bored. 3. Pita bread was BAD. Very very bad. Quality of Pita was bad and it smelled of mold or some bad stuff. They microwaved it and served to us. I have a doubt that they recycle the bread...no proof of this...but it was very very bad. The other bread (Italian bread) was better. 4. We complained about the bread to the staff. The attendant came and took a piece of bread (from our table)...ate it (right in front of us) and said...OO...it tastes good. That’s how it tastes. They put wet cloth on Pita in the kitchen...that’s why it smells like that. Disclaimer from me: I love Pita/Hummus and eat Pita bread almost 2-3 times a week. So I know how it smells and how it tastes. 5. Falafel was fried in bad oil. It tasted bitter when chewed for some time. 6. I ordered Chicken Mediterranean. It came with a salad (very very small portion), deep friend zucchini (bad taste), carrots (over-cooked), and saffron rice (it was good). 7. Wine was overly expensive. $8 for a glass. 8. Hummus was good. Our overall experience was very very bad. I will not go to this place ever again and would not recommend it to anyone.
