I have to agree with the other review absolutely dreadful. On the review I was looking for the option for no stars. Do not be fooled by the enticing charcoal grill in front of house as this is merely a mask/marketing trick for very poor food and appalling service.

I visited Casbah with a group of 5 friends last week, and am sure never to return.

We turned up punctually for our reservation, but had to wait outside on the pavement a full 45 minutes before we were even seated at our table.

Things only got worse...We were treated in a rude manner by three different waiters throughout the course of the evening, and while the food was genuinely tasty, the experience of visiting Al Casbah left such a bad taste in our mouth that we are sure never to return.

To make matters worse, on leaving I discovered that the jacket which had been draped over the back of my chair had been thoroughly splashed with oil and meat juices by the wait staff in the course of their work.

When I pointed this out to the young waiter, I was told in no uncertain terms to leave the restaurant immediately and never return.

No hint of an apology or an acceptance of responsibility.

Unfortunately, my experience confirms that Al Casbah thoroughly deserves its widely-known reputation for having the worst and rudest service in Cambridge.
