Casbah

We had a fantastic experience for lunch at Casbah! The service was perfect and quick, the food was delicious and perfectly cooked (I had the Long Island Duck with gnocchi - photo here - and my wife had the Saffron Papperadelle with lobster). It was indeed a pricey meal, but I mean it when I say it's worth the cost. Parking is a bit tricky so give yourself time to park or splurge on the valet. Casbah is 10/10 highly recommended!

Excellent service and arm with delicious food. Highly recommend a reservation for the weekend. The menu is simple but it includes enough choices for anyone. The salmon was cooked to perfection. So was the steak. There was four of us in our party. We all enjoyed our dinner and cocktails. A must go if you're visiting Pittsburgh

I have lived here for a year and a half and this was by far my favorite meal. The service was great and the food was excellent. I started with a half portion of the short rib ravioli, which was surprisingly a nice size portion and the raviolis were stuffed well which made it more enjoyable. I had the filet mignon for my main course which I loved. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I had to try the chocolate bread pudding which my father and I devoured in like 30 seconds. Overall great experience and I will definitely be returning.

Great place. Love the vibe, and the service was impeccable. Even the people who were not serving us were friendly and nice. The food was great with good portions. Again, everyone was amazing. Great place for a date night or just to hang out. Their seating is comfortable and accommodating as well. Parking may be your only issue, but they do have valet. 10 out of 10.

Casbah has two ambiance offerings: a 'cozy cave-like' realm and an open 'courtyard' realm (enclosed with walls lined with exotic, tall plants and covered with a translucent roof). But these features cannot rival the deliciousness of the food. The sauces are to die for - including on the dessert of bread pudding! There are subtleties galore in all of what I tasted - and I will definitely be coming back for more! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I really enjoyed the semi-outdoor patio area and appreciated that the brunch menu had creative mocktails as well as the usual cocktail offerings. The pre-fixed brunch options were plentiful. Our starter course was delicious, but I did not enjoy the entree as much as I did not enjoy the uncooked mushrooms in the goat cheese/mushroom omelette. Otherwise would highly recommend for a Sunday brunch spot.

Casbah is a local institution. A long standing, fine dining, establishment owned by the well known Big Burrito restaurant group. Standing, prominently on Highland Ave. in Shadyside since 1995, Casbah is well respected and cherished by many local, Pittsburgh foodies. And this is for good reason! Casbah is fantastic. The menu is mainly influenced by Mediterranean flavors. Everything is done exceptionally well here. From food to service to cleanliness. On my most recent trip, myself and three others visited for Sunday brunch. We tried a variety of menu items including: the Baba Ghanoush (a smoky eggplant dip), the Mediterranean omelette, steak and eggs and cavatelli with marinara. My absolute favorite bite during this meal was the beet salad. There was an incredible amount of flavor packed neatly into that dish. Just divine. A birthday brunch should end sweetly and it did with creme brulee. Casbah has withstood the test of time and they don't appear to be losing any steam.
