About Casablanca

Casablanca, a husband and wife-owned restaurant, offers a delightful blend of homestyle Moroccan and familiar Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu features moist and tasty Chicken Shawarma sandwiches, as well as a variety of other tempting dishes.

The Moroccan Combo for Two ($49.99) is a popular choice, allowing diners to sample a range of Moroccan specialties. The combo includes two sides, such as rice, fries, soup (lentil or vegetable), and salad. The salad is a simple yet satisfying mix of romaine, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers, dressed in a fattoush-like vinaigrette. The Zaalook, a dish that tempers the smokiness of baba ganoush with a spicy tomato base, is a standout, easily scooped up with the warm, moist, and fluffy Moroccan bread (khubz).

The Half Bistilla, a savory-sweet pastry filled with spiced chicken and egg, topped with cinnamon and powdered sugar, is a unique and delightful surprise. The Half Sweet Lamb Tagine, served with fluffy couscous, is praised for its tenderness and lack of gaminess, likely due to the use of fat-tailed sheep. The Half Chicken Mhammar, served with a salty but flavorful rice pilaf, rounds out the combo with its crispy-skinned and sauce-soaked chicken.

Casablanca has earned a reputation for consistently excellent food and service, all at reasonable prices. Customers often return, citing the restaurant as one of their top choices for Moroccan and Middle Eastern cuisine in the area.
