I have tried Moroccan food before so I thought of checking this place out.
My experience was decent and the food was unique here, different from other Moroccan places I have been to.
Ordered lamb honey, which was way too sweet for me. If you like sweet taste with lamb, then go for it.
I donโt think I will be coming back here, this spot isnโt for me. I donโt have any complaints, just not for me.
I have honestly found a gem! This restaurant hits all the marks. From the moment you walk in, you get greeted with enormous warmth as if you were family. There is a festive, warm, inviting yet intimate ambiance. The owner and family are actually on hand managing the business and serving the guests. We came to celebrate a birthday and felt so welcomed by all. The food was phenomenal. I have actually been to Morocco (Marrakesh, Casa Blanca, Tangier) and found this restaurant to be very authentic. To add to an incredible experience, they also had a dancer, but unlike other places the guests were encouraged to participate. It was so much fun. We felt as we were on vacation yet were only 2.5 miles from home.
We had the Taste of Morocco Meat Lovers (tasting menu) and we loved every single thing we had. It came with 3 samples salads (beet, carrot and cucumber salads), a chicken Pastilla and we each chose the Honey lamb (which is the best lamb I ever had โฆso tasty and tender). Later we had the Moroccan cookies and cinnamon orange for dessert. We also had their very delicious Moroccan tea. Again, everything was very fresh and delicious.
The service is totally five stars. They are attentive and pleasant. The owner who served, us checked on us ongoing and made sure we were taken care of. Everyone was excellent!
Iโve never had Moroccan food before but what a delicious surprise! The bread was crispy, the zaalook was so awesome and the lamb tagine was fall off the bone- couscous tasty!! The mint tea was so amazing. Friendly service and staff! I canโt wait to go back and see belly dancing ๐
A Culinary Journey to Morocco in the Heart of LA:
Casablanca in Los Angeles is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Moroccan dining experience unlike any other. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in the warm and vibrant ambiance reminiscent of a traditional Moroccan riad. The decor, with its intricate tiles, colorful lanterns, and rich textiles, immediately transports you to the streets of Casablanca.
The menu is a delightful exploration of Moroccan cuisine, featuring a wide array of dishes that showcase the countryโs rich culinary heritage. The tagines are particularly outstanding, with the lamb tagine being a standoutโperfectly tender meat, simmered with a fragrant blend of spices, dried fruits, and nuts. The couscous dishes are equally impressive, light and fluffy, with the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
The service at Casablanca is exceptional. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. They are more than happy to guide you through the menu and make recommendations based on your preferences.
One cannot leave without trying their Moroccan mint tea, which is a perfect way to end a meal. Itโs served with such care and tradition that it feels like a small ceremony, and the flavors are wonderfully refreshing.
Casablanca is not just a meal; itโs an experience. Whether youโre celebrating a special occasion or simply in the mood for something different, this restaurant offers a journey through Moroccan flavors that will leave you longing to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the rich and vibrant tastes of Morocco right in the heart of LA.
From the moment we walked in, I have never felt more welcome at a restaurant. The whole staff is very friendly and Naima is a wonderful host, making us feel like family instantly. The food is incredible and the best Moroccan food I have had yet, and the mint tea was extra tasty. The decor and live music are also very lovely. Highly recommend and canโt wait to go back!
