Morocco was the setting for the famous film Casablanca, a romance notable for depicting the largest bowl of hummus ever eaten by Peter Lorre. Dine on Mediterranean fare in full color with today's Groupon: for $19, you get $40 worth of Moroccan cuisine at Kasbah.

The Moroccan chefs at Kasbah merge Arabic, Jewish, and North African cultures to create the decadent Moroccan feasts populating the eatery’s menu, which includes three-course dinner selections ($22.95 per person). Caramelized onions and fresh ginger flank tender pieces of simmered lamb in the t’faya tagine entree ($17.95), which chefs festoon with a sprinkling of cinnamon, raisins, and sesame seeds. Patrons can dive into platefuls of kefta tagine ($15.95), meatballs infused with garlic and tomato and crowned, like a child prince, with a poached egg. Meat-weary patrons can stare intently at the vegetarian couscous plate ($13.95) dabbled with garbanzo beans and raisins, or the couscous t’faya ($14.95), which cooks drench in an aromatic saffron-ginger sauce and top with sweet onions and cinnamon. A slew of Moroccan pastries accompany mint tea ($4.99) for dessert.

Inside Kasbah, peach-hued walls showcase ornate and intricate paintings along with rich tapestries, surrounding diners in festive elegance. On Friday and Saturday evenings, belly dancers shimmy and shake through the restaurant, invoking an authentic Middle Eastern ambiance and jangling loud enough to muffle the sounds of ambitious chewing.
