My dad and I used to come here regularly when my dad lived down the street. He’s taken every friend, every family member, and basically everyone he’s ever known here because it’s so good. While my dad’s back in town for a short stay we decided to visit his old favorite spot and he cried tears of sentimental joy. We are happy to announce it’s still just as good as it’s always been. Maybe even better. It’s also important to mention that in recent times, the regular staff and ownership has had to reach out to family to step in and run the business, so that they could take care of personal matters. That is over now. I would disregard any negative reviews and chalk it up to that.

We had lunch at this restaurant with my parents. The food was below average, but the dining area was absolutely disgusting.
The floor under the chairs was covered in so much dirt and dust bunnies that you couldn’t even see the actual floor color. The chairs had little to no cushioning—they were old and filthy.
Save yourself and don’t use the bathroom—it’s even worse.
How is this place still open? Where is the Denver Health Department?
I had the French sandwich 10/10
The best Mediterranean food in the country! So good! Their service is 10/10

The tacos were absolutely delicious!😋
Exceptional service!
Majestic atmosphere! 🇲🇦
Food was amazing, portions were perfectly sized. Service was incredible, very kind. Small, quiet, clean place, perfect atmosphere to chat with friends. Definitely recommend!!!
We were having a bit of a rough day and we were hungry. Suddenly my husband says he has a craving for gyros. We did a google search and a few restaurants came up, Casablanca was one of them. Just by looking at the photos we decided to try it. And thank goodness we did! Everything was amazing.
We were welcomed right away. Everything was clean and there was soft middle eastern music playing. Right away the service was amazing.
My husband had a beef shawarma sandwich and I had the Gyros sandwich. Both were amazing. He took a bite of mine, I took a bit of his. Everything was well seasoned, warm and fresh. The meats were tender and flavorful. The pita was soft. The sauces were a really nice compliment to it. It was exactly what we were looking for. We also tried Falafel for the first time and it's one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life.
I realized they also sold backlava. It had been years since I've had baklava so we had to have it. It was all things good you expect from a baklava. Sweet. Nutty. Crispy and goey at the same time. Baked to perfection.
I also want to add that we are Puerto Ricans living in Colorado. Is very hard for us to find flavors that makes us feel like at home. Mediterranean food and Puerto Rican food are very different flavors. However, we felt right at home from the first bite. There's something in it that makes you feel like right at home, like someone cooked this with their soul and cooking for their own family. You know it when all the flavors hit in all the right places.
I honestly think more people should come here! We will definitely back. Especially for the falafels!!!
My husband and I wanted a relaxed, quiet place for dinner and this was a great choice. The restaurant is family-run and we had pleasant service from all the family. We decided to try things not offered in other local Mediterranean restaurants like Hariara soup with a combination of lentils and chickpeas, sultani kabob and French tacos. The French tacos looked like a panini-style bread filled with marinated chicken with cheese and a special sauce, fries on the side. I loved this! My husband said the Turkish coffee had a hint of cardamom. We shared a piece of baklava. We took our time and this was ok with the staff. Prices are reasonable; certain meats are more expensive. These days I am craving peace and quiet so I will be back.

Everyone in Denver is sleeping on this place. So good.
I went with my family on a Saturday night wonderful food, super respectful staff and great environment.
super friendly owner. delicious gyro. reasonably priced. could use a little music or something in there to up the ambiance but otherwise great
Bruh, dropping the ball if you don't go. My man can friggin cook.
Walked in for lunch but after seeing chewed up decor, sticky menus and heavy middle eastern smell decided to leave. We were greeted when we walked in and offered a seat in an empty restaurant. Decided not to try our luck at this spot
