Kasbah Garden Cafe

105 Howe Street, New Haven, CT 06511

105 Howe Street, also known as the location of Kasbah Garden Café, is a Greek Revival style residential home with a commercial extension in the backyard used as the restaurant. From street-view, one can see the façade of the residential home and the storefront of the Moroccan Restaurant through a small passageway. The residential home extends outwards with two levels of Greek Revival style porches, embellished with Doric columns, while the house is covered in a light blue-grey tinted clapboard siding. Kasbah Garden Café is a Moroccan restaurant with open-air seating in the courtyard tucked within the backyard garden and shaded with large trees. Within the restaurant, there are a small collection of tables indoors, but the interior of the restaurant extension is mostly the functioning kitchen. This building is located in the Dwight Historic District, tucked between residential houses and small apartment buildings. Across the street, on the corner of Howe and Edgewood, there are other commercial real estate including the Howe St. Laundromat, a corner-store, Pizza House, and Mamoun’s Falafel Restaurant.
