Casbah’s Benefit Dinner Series

On the fourth Thursday of the month, Casbah hosts a special dining event to benefit a specific local or national nonprofit organization. Each evening has its own unique menu, inspired by a particular Mediterranean region or seasonal foods.

Casbah donates 100% of proceeds to the organizations. We hope you can join us in helping our community while enjoying outstanding food and wine in Casbah's intimate lower dining room.

The minimum donation for this event is $100 per person. Guests are invited to write their checks directly to the organization. Gratuity is not included.

Please see our 2008 schedule of dinners to the right. Dates with links have the menus listed; others are to come.
