Casablanca
728 E. Brady St.
271-6000
Casablanca has become a bright spot in local dining, not only for its vegetarian buffet and its omnivorous Sunday brunch buffet, but also for its extensive menu of Near Eastern delicacies. The bar is a comfortable hideaway, usually with Arab music videos streaming quietly from a pair of screens. Hookahs are available as well. (D.L.)
