Casablanca Restaurant

The food was tasteless and overcooked.The staff was indifferent.We were quite disappointed

We went here last night an hour before our movie, usually it's fast but not tonight. We had a party of 8 and everyone except 3 of us got our food in a timely fashion. Multiple tables got their food before we did, an hour into it we told our waitress and she said it's coming the kitchen is backed up, I get it but an hour is ridiculous, she then brings the fries out which were mediocre at best, I then tell her I'm only paying for the fries because we still don't have our entrees an hour after we sat down. She acted like I was going to pay for the entree, I did not. This location always has shoddy service but tonight was on a different level of bad. I'll keep going to the midtown location. This poplar location needs serious change.

I really love the way this location is decorated with the rugs everywhere. It's such a cool way to decorate. The food isn't really my thing but it's still good quality and I don't mind being brought here. I enjoy the shawerma, especially the one with hummus, and there's other things I'd love to try if I ended up back here. I'm sad they closed their location in Germantown because that was the one I went to the most.

Casablanca has to be one of my all time favorite places to eat at. The food is always so delicious, the service is hospitable and family friendly, and the ambiance is so unique and cool. I adore the ceilings and light fixtures at the poplar location. My family will often rotate between Poplar and Madison, nonetheless we never fail to enjoy our time at either locations. My favorite go-to dishes would have to be the Baba Ghanoush, the Egyptian Hawashi and some of their iced tea. Their tea, iced or hot, is an absolute must-try!

I was looking for a Mediterranean restaurant and happened to see this place so I tried it. I Love the salad with grilled chicken. I'm there at least once a week...Always fresh!!

This is why I go to the one on Madison. The whole restaurant is covered in a film of something. Grease, dirt? My sandwich was flavorful but the grease was not drained. The pita was stale. The fries were gross refried flavorless dry crinkle cut fries- not the seasoned ones at midtown or on the menu. The sink in the hallway which I am assuming is for staff to use had water just sitting in it. The service was not great, really just an after thought. Our waitress pretty much did not attend to us but a tall gentleman with curly hair was really nice and took over when he saw that she was ignoring us. My table was dirty. Please deep clean the restaurant.

This location is causal dining. The decor is authentic to Mediterranean. I must say the hospitality and customer service is excellent. They have a hot tea that's great for winter that includes Ginger. The kabobs were all lamb no beef added. They were grilled medium without asking!! Tender, seasoned, little char and moist. The char onions give the lamb additional seasoning. Now the vegetables were actually my favorite. My taste buds believe the vegetables are roasted for a stew texture and flavor. The variety was potatoes, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. All vegetables were tender and savory. I rate this location 4 star because there wasn't a alcohol menu to pair a red wine with the delicious lamb .

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced:- Staff were NOT welcoming nor personable.- We would have left if our waitress was the one that was playing with her hair throughout. In hindsight, we should have anyway!- Uncomfortable atmosphere.- Not authentic Greek!- Quality of food was extremely poor!If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a superb experience.

10/10 would recommend!!!! The food and service is always top tier!! My go to is the mixed shawarma plate - make sure you try the green sauce if you like spicy!!!

Great little hole in the wall, but I'm so confused how I got baba ghanoush one week that was delicious and greenish one week, then ordered the same thing and got just bland, tan baba ghanoush. Then was told I didn't get the "Casablanca" version, which wasn't what I'd receive the first time either. Maybe I was given a wrong dish the first go around, but I'd love to know what it was. Best hummus in town, not ganna lie. And their olive oil is amazing!
