We came here to meet a friend we only see once a year. She picked it solely on YELP reviews and it was an excellent pick. Service was prompt but never rushed. Everything we ordered was excellent. The restaurant was full but they never tried to get us to leave so they could refill the table. Wonderful experience.

Excellent as always! Every time we visit from Texas we have to stop by and eat at Casablanca! This time, we brought my parents with us and they loved it as well!. From tagine to couscous, this place has amazing Moroccan food! Cathy and Moussa, the owners, are very hospitable as well. ‘Til we see you next time!

I have been to Casablanca since they opened a few years ago. I believe it was maybe two weeks after opening and my taste experience was a bit disappointing at the time. I figured it was new and needed to figure out the kinks. This is my second time back since. Service was very good. Hostess was very accommodating. Decor is beautiful I felt like I could have been in a nice restaurant in Morocco. We had the falafel and Shrimp Moroccan cigars as appetizers. The falafels were very good but the Moroccan cigars were almost on the cusp of blandness and had little bits of shrimps. The pita bread was excellent one of the best I ever had. Great texture and taste was on point. Our lamb tangine was bland and a bit tasteless. Also this dinner portion was the smallest piece of lamb I ever had with a tangine. A big bone but lacking lamb and essence. It also had a lot of onions in it which made too Oniony sweet. We did not have dessert. Overall an okay experience.

Food was super meh, too sweet, lamb barely had meat on the bone and the dish was covered in so much stuff that made everything sweet. Definitely never eating here again, food was awful, flavor was terrible and not worth what it costs.

We were greeted very nicely and seated very promptly. The older lady who serviced us was extremely lovely and sweet. The décor of the place was beautiful. We went for an early lunch and had the entire place to ourselves. We ordered the Sahara Tagine and the Grilled Chicken Melt. The tagine came with a side of couscous and the sandwich with a side of rice. All the food was amazing and the tagine was larger then we expected. The preserved lemons gave the dish so much depth. Amazing amount of food for the price.

App was good. Couscous was great. Entrees were okay. Lamb we had to open 2 out of 3 ourselves as our server was courteous but not very attentive. Wasn't busy at all, surprisingly for a Saturday night. Mint tea is served too sweet and the only option for dessert is baklava with the pre fixed menu. Belly dancer was entertaining.
