We opted for dining at Kasbah because it was next door to our hotel, had been recommended by several websites and they had two soups which I thought would help our colds go though our systems faster. As I anticipated, both soups, were perfect and delicious. The harira was a vegetable soup with lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes, onions and garam masala. It had a complex and robust tomato flavor with little bites of lentil and onions. The chorba was a roasted vegetable soup of puréed tomato, zucchini, squash and chayote. It was the perfect combination for a soup. It was hot piping goodness for the soul. Invigorated, we were ready for our main dish. We got the mixed platter which had a chicken brochette marinaded in chermoula, beef tenderloin brochette, Merquez sausage which is a Moroccan spiced lamb sausage, harissa and lemon marinated tiger prawns brochette and a fish brochette which is a seasoned mahi mahi with chermoula. The prawns were the star of the platter as they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fish was slightly over cooked and the chicken and beef were quite dry. The couscous which came with it was perfectly seasoned and moist though it was quite a small serving. Luckily I ordered a small plate of crispy fries which were seasoned and fried to perfection. My recommendation would be to order the soups and seafood only plus the couscous and fries and that would be a magical Kasbah experience.
