Casablanca Mediterranean Grill

This place is incredible! Not only is the food fantastic, but the vibe is immaculate! We started with drinks. I had the white Lebanese wine and my husband had a Lebanese beer and a shot of Arak. So good! We then opted for the prix fixe and we were not disappointed! The appetizer was a huge platter of delicious marinated carrots, cucumber & tomato salad, and an eggplant dip... 5 stars! For entrees, we had the spicy chicken and the honey lamb. Both were falling off the bone tender and absolutely delicious! We finished with baklava and mint tea. There wasn't a miss in the whole meal. Also the portions are huge! Worth every penny, we can't wait to go back!

Casablanca was an absolute gem. The food was incredible, but what really made the experience special was the atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming and kind. It didn’t feel like eating at a restaurant—it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. The chicken shawarma was outstanding, the hummus was amazing, and every dish was fresh and full of flavor. Even the soda made with date extract completely blew me away. I loved it so much that I bought some to take home. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the food and the experience they create for their guests. Great food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. We had such an amazing time and will definitely be back.

One of our most favorite restaurants! Our 7yo begs to come here. The owners are so welcoming and generous. It feels like you're dining in someone's home. The food is excellent. You won't get better middle eastern dishes in Philly. We always get the chicken shawarma over salad and fattoush. The falafel have the perfect crunch on the outside and softness on the inside. The accompaniments: hummus, baba ganoush, labneh, grape leaves, etc, all stand on their own. You could happily make a meal of any of them. Then top it off with the mint tea. It's pure paradise. We had an amazing experience catering with them as well. They were very accommodating. We cannot say enough good things about Casablanca. Enjoy!

Absolutely amazing food, service was a 10/10. Tajine dish was the star of the show, such a homey atmosphere in the restaurant, overall a great time for very reasonable prices!

Easy to make a reservation, extremely kind and welcoming staff, flavorful food, huge portions, authentic Mediterranean feel with the decor, lamps, etc, super cozy seating, and quick service. The prix fix menu gives you decent choices, and the man who I assume is the owner was so sweet and gave us some baklava to take home plus there is no shortage of Moroccan tea! Especially loved the cucumber and carrot appetizer and the chicken shawarma over rice. The grilled chicken over rice was also good. They were out of some things that I had assumed they’d have a lot of in stock, like Diet Coke and their non alcoholic Lebanese beer, and this was around 6pm on what appeared to be a relatively busy Saturday night, but not a big deal at all. The only other thing of note is that the bathroom is in another building but I think it’s very close by. Definitely hit the spot during the visit I took with my dad to Philly!
