This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It was 92 degrees out and the air was barely turned on until my husband and i got there. The food was awful, mostly prepackaged and frozen. Even the grape leaves were not prepaid. Our soda was flat, which our waitress ignored. We were served meat and given no knives. Our waitress disappeared after she dropped off our food (we were only customers in the restaurant). She then took it upon herself to add 18 % gratuity on the check (we were a party of two). When we questioned this, she said "all moroccan restaurants do this". It was an awful experience...

How does a 7-course Moroccan dinner you eat with your hands sound? How about live entertainment that includes belly dancers? And what if you got all of this for $20/person? That's what you get when you go to Casablanca's, but do give yourself about 2 hours to fully enjoy the 7-course meal.
Shortly after being seated on cushions rather than chairs, you will be greeted by a waiter (wearing a fez and traditional Moroccan garb) who will wash your hands in Rose Water. Drinks are then ordered, followed by requesting your preferences for the 7-course meal (the choices are chicken, spicy chicken, beef, lamb or vegetarian). Courses include is 3 salads: Carrot salad, cucumber salad and a warm eggplant salad. All of them are delectable and go nicely with the fresh bread that is provided. Another dish contains filo dough that is stuffed with chicken, eggs, almonds and topped with cinnamon and powdered sugar. This is absolutely my favorite part of the meal. Yummy!!!!! Following this, you are provided with a chicken/beef/lamb/vegetarian dish. I always take the chicken. It's savory, juicy and falls off the bone. The waiter then washes your hands after the meat/vegetarian dish and the remaining dishes are composed of a bowl of couscous, fresh fruit and then Baklava and warm tea. $20/person is pocket change when you consider the wealth of delectable food, lively entertainment and exotic environment that you will enjoy at Casablanca's.
