Kasbah
NW 85th & 15th (right on the 48 line, perfect for a bus adventure)
7.5/10 on my bangin' scale


Definitely get the Bastilla:

Kasbah's Bastilla is sweet and salty deliciousness... and it features the island that Tom Hanks lived on in "Castaway!"

The outside is reminiscent of a fancy Zeppole (the Bastilla has perfectly crispy dough, powdered with sugar), while the inside is a savory chicken stew.

The Atlas Tagine (lamb, carrots, onions, and other spices) is falling-off-the-bone-so-soft lamb meat. Tasty, lip-smackingly good. You'll probably finish it all.

Couscous T'Faya-- a moist chicken in carmelized onions, raisins, and those round, white bean thingamajigs-- is also a great choice, and still tastes great the next day if you can't manage to finish the Bastilla and the couscous (which you won't be able to).
