    Ed Sphinx is the "King of hookah" in Milwaukee. Easily. Great hookah, prices and people. Highly recommend it.

    Worst food physically possible if I could give a 0 star review I would. The service was insanely…read morebad and the food tasted utterly awful. I wish I never came here and that. I felt sick for 2 days due to how awful it was. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!

    One of my favorite places to catch hookah and a tasty dish in Milwaukee area…read more It's tucked away quite snug right off the interstate, resting nicely between the bustling stop and go automobiles at the intersection of Howard and 76th. If you don't look, you might miss Arabian Nights Hookah Lounge. Especially during the daytime. But at night, they have neon lights that draw you in like a bug to a zapper under summer's stars. If you are drawn in, you won't be let down. Let's get something straight here -- this is a Hookah Bar. There isn't alcohol and there doesn't need to be. If you want to go somewhere for that, try using your Yelp app for "bars" with the little martini glass next to it. The interior of the place is much like a hookah bar in Cairo -- it's dimly light with a great ventilation system. There's an actual bar counter you can sit at and smoke. Ample amount of tables for seating and some rooms with couches and televisions if you'd like. For the TV's, they have Netflix, Spotify, Hulu and all the fixings like you're right at home. For the hookah, it's pretty unique if you want it to be. For the bowl (where the tobacco goes), you can get a hollowed out fruit -- apple, pineapple, watermelon, lemon and so on. Trust me, this makes it taste so much better. For tobacco, they have Starbuzz, Al-Fahker, Fumari and more (which are the traditional suppliers). You can mix flavors together if you wish. The smoke is smooth and quite flavorful, which creates the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing night with friends. For food, I've had the shawarma wrap before and their smoothie. It's good! The Turkish coffee is really good as well, and you can get it without sugar if that's your thing. It's really caffeinated and quite good. I'd recommend trying some coffee which sips great in between puffs of hookah.

    Food was good and came out pretty quickly, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy…read more Service, however, could have been much better. The place was fairly empty--maybe three other tables--and it still took quite a while for someone to greet us, bring menus, take our drink orders, and then actually bring the drinks out. I ordered a Tito's and tonic, but what I received looked like a cup of salsa water with a splash of tonic. It tasted pretty unpleasant and the presentation wasn't great either. On the positive side, the ambiance was nice and the music was chill, which made the atmosphere enjoyable.

    I've eaten at Casablanca many times but this is my first time at the Brookfield location. They only…read morehad one server, poor girl. And my beef kebab was extremely tough. The waitress was willing to switch it out for a different meat which I appreciated. She said that they are switching vendors soon back to an old vendor. The jibneh was fantastic! The rice was delicious and all of the meat were served with very good seasoning even the beef kebab that I had to not eat. I honestly wished the beef kebab would've been more tender so I could have eaten it since the flavor on it was so delicious. I will go back because I've eaten here before and not had food quality issues. I know the restaurant industry is hard right now because of pricing of food. I just hope that they get more than one server working and also go back to their old meat vendor as soon as possible.

    Casablanca Brady Street has been a staple for my girlfriends and I for years even before the patio…read morewas built. We've always loved the happy hour, hookah, and food. We've enjoyed "sip and paints" here, New Year's Eve, when they offered brunch with crepes, and frequented when they had their vegetarian lunch buffet. Unfortunately, things have changed. 1. Atmosphere The décor hasn't changed. Still sleek, dimly lit, and romantic. The bathroom water wasn't working, and staff seemed aware of it when we mentioned it. How is that sanitary or up to code? Several of the chairs brought to our table were also broken, with bent legs a clear safety issue. It's typically packed on a Saturday like a dance club but it was nearly empty on a Saturday night which may be a reflection of our experience. 2. Service Our waitress was kind and attentive despite handling a large group, but the busboy was unprofessional. He started clearing plates while people were still eating and even asked my husband to reach across the table to hand over other guests' dishes. It made us feel rushed, even though the place wasn't busy. 3. Food My chicken shawarma was greasy, hard, sour, and unseasoned, almost as if the meat had gone bad. The potato balls were cut open which I've never seen and underwhelming. My husband and son's wings were over fried and tough, the spinach artichoke dip was clumpy and poorly blended, and others said the lamb chops were "okay." Honestly, the best thing I ate that night was the pita bread. 4. Overall Experience This used to be our go to for birthdays, Brady Street drag show viewing, and happy hour, but it's gone downhill. Between the sanitation issues, broken furniture, food quality, and rushed service, it no longer feels like "our spot". SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.... This was hard to write because I have so many great memories here and I wanted the experience to be better. Sadly, I won't be returning.

    Even though I have a collection of bookmarks for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants I…read morewant to try, I rarely partake due to the amount of dishes containing items I won't eat. I recently got out of my comfort zone and visited Casablana for dinner. I ended up ordering the Baked Lamb because it required no modifications. The Baked Lamb is shredded, marinated lamb on a bed of basmati rice with a side of homemade yogurt. I tried the yogurt, but didn't end up using any of it. Both the lamb and rice had good flavor. I wasn't expecting the lamb to be shredded; rather, I assumed it would be something I'd have to cut like with a knife. I feel like you get a good amount of both, but I wouldn't get it again. I wanted to try beef shawarma and a chicken kabob and asked if those could be added as an upcharge for $5 each like you can do if you order a salad as your meal. To my disappointment, I was told no, that the only way I could get those was to order the combo plate for $23 on top of the $25 meal I already ordered. Seems dumb.
