This restaurant is fabulous. From the decoration, ambience, staff, quality of service, etc. As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile. This was a quick stop as we were passing by and needed to continue our way. As soon as they learned we were on a time budget they went the extra mile and served our dinner in a timely fashion. Even thou they were busy our server came back a few times to check on us, which Ian something you don't get very often anymore. The food was awesome and priced right. We had the Moroccan soup, a veggie platter and hummus with beef/lamb. I ordered a lemonade to drink thinking it would be a regular fountain drink but it tasted like real natural lemonade!!! Couldn't be more satisfied with this nice little restaurant. We'll be back. read more

im SO happy that this place opened up closer to midtown! food: CHICKEN SHAWERMA PLATE: omg amazing. comes with 1/2 plate of meat, 1/2 plate of delicious warm and moist rice, and soft potatoes and carrots. $12.95 CHICKEN SHAWERMA SANDWICH: i usually get this one, but i will say it doesnt come with any type of rice, so it can get kind of dry in your mouth the more you eat it. but it is LOADED with meat (has the same amount of meat as the plate, but almost 1/2 the price!) if your'e trying to save monies and you want something that will definitely fill you up, i would get the sandwich. ~$8.95 TEA: amazing tea. its very different from your typical southern sweet tea and different from your typical tea. its refreshing, not too sweet, and very authentic. DEFINITELY try their tea here! i will say though there is a bit of an aftertaste of spices, but not TOO strong, that was something i was afraid of too but definitely gives this tea its uniqueness. ~$1.95 other details: service is amazing, quick, friendly! they're so quick to come seat you and take your order and help you with your meal. the food comes out VERY quickly for a sit down restaurant. best of all: they have an outdoor patio for you to bring your pup! #pupfriendlypatios (i wish you could search yelp reviews for hashtags within a certain city) perfect for: taking your parents, taking your in-laws, birthday parties, chill get togethers, catching up with friends, celebrating happy things, celebrating graduation, etc! very family friendly place as well. read more

Casablanca - Middle Eastern Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Casablanca has one of my favorite restaurant atmospheres in Memphis. It kinda feels like you're sitting in ur cool neighbor's living room getting ready to be served a badass meal. The staff is always super friendly and attentive + the food is amazing. If you've never tried Mediterranean food or are unsure if you'll like it get the chicken and hummus plate and the hot tea and you won't be disappointed! read more

Superior food coupled with stellar service. My party of 4 got two shawarma sandwiches, one shawarma plate, and one lamb kebab entree. Dus was our server, and we loved having him. He even gave us a second dessert for free! The Turkish coffee was exquisite! read more

I love Casablanca's food so incredibly much. I typically order takeout from this location on my way home from work and it's always delicious and they always get my order made quickly and correctly. They have thrown in an extra free drink once in a while too just to be nice. Speaking of drinks, you MUST try their homemade tea (hot or iced) - it's to die for. I love their chicken shawerma and falafel as well, but everything I've tried on the menu is great. Pro tip- the hummus falafel platter with a side of pita bread is an awesome deal - almost as much food as one of the entree dishes but for a great price - perfect for a snack or light meal. Definitely recommend supporting this delicious family/locally owned restaurant! read more

The food is absolutely incredible!!! We had the mixed shawerma platter and the mixed sandwich, and the food is absolutely incredible. I love to eat, and I still had some leftovers. Saed, the owner, is a great guy! Very accommodating and friendly. Great atmosphere, great food, and great people. read more

This is big mistake. 1. The menu has dirty and sticky. 2. Sauce contener has same conditions. 3. I ordered chicken and it was burned with the dirty grill. Never again read more

The olive oil is reason enough to eat here! Get the hummus! Flavorful and smooth. It's like the grandma you never had made it. I wouldn't recommend the beef/lamb shawarma. I'm sure that it was accurate to the original flavors, so I won't hold it against them. If you aren't a big fan of a weird onion-ish taste for an entire meal, I would recommend getting something you are more aware of. Our waiter was also very humorous. I made a sarcastic joke about the tea being the "best in Memphis", in which he replied, "oh no, i am so nervous". Also! There is a carpet on the ceiling! So that's cool. read more

Clean and nice hole in the wall Middle Eastern restaurant. New to the taste and loved it.

Right in the corner! Like the relax feeling when I was sitting in the sunshine with friends and enjoy their wonderful food! read more

Casablanca - Middle Eastern Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Good food. Nice environment, the tea is reaaallly good. I'll definitely be going back.

I love their shawarma platter (#38) with beef & lamb. Their hummus and iced tea are also delicious! Always have the best service. I come here (& the other locations) again and again! read more

Gotta love when you spend $40 on a to go order , they hand you your order with the bag tied in a knot so you think surely it's ok so I'm not going to fight with the know to check it. You drive 40 minutes home only to find out that the order is wrong. So yeah my fault because I know better than to EVER leave any place without checking your order but then....I call to see if they can make it right & Im told I got what I asked for. Uh....no, if I got what I asked for, myself & my husband wouldn't be pissed about wasting $40 on food that won't be eaten & having to now find something else. However...I am still giving them 4 stars because their food & hot tea is amazing. Just need the staff to listen to the customer a little better.... read more

Let me count the ways that I love Casablanca. HINT: IT'S A LOT. Casablanca is pretty much a gem of the middle east hidden in Memphis. The hummus and shawarma are to-die for. Plus, you can literally get a plate of just this. And the tea? Can we talk about the tea for a minute? It's fantastic hot or cold. And they literally bring you refills every time you take a sip. Plus they'll send you home with a big cup of it (do this!!!). Not to mention that the owner is a gem. He checks on every table. The first time we went, he even gave us dessert on the house for no particular reason. You will have leftovers, also, unless you're really ambitious. read more

First of all let me say that the food was amazing as always. The service was even pretty good. Until the end when we received our bill and paid. The server returned with the check for us to sign and told us that he forgot to charge us for the drinks. He said they were $3 each for 4 drinks, and told us to add the $12 on top of the tip to pay for them. Uh, no! One of the guys with us just paid the guy to be done with it, but I will never be going back. read more

I finally stopped by for lunch after having driven past it a dozen times. I immediately liked the charm and erstwhile authenticity of the decor. Also attractive was my stunning middle-easterner server. So far so good. I ordered lamb schwarma, small salad, fries, and a Turkish coffee. The schwarma meat had two things going for it you don't always see; it was tender, and it was juicy. And flavorful. And generous, tons of meat, could've easily split it. Salad and fries were fine, no complaints. I've had Turkish coffee all over the world, it's one of my favorite things. This one was very good. Hard to find Turkish coffee, so it was a real treat. Next time I might order the schwarma platter instead of the pita sandwich. Otherwise I liked it and will go back. read more

So yummy and flavorful! Both in house and to-go is amazing. I highly recommend! However, the service at the East Memphis location was very very slow. read more

I am literally pulling out of the parking lot right now after now being served for over 15 minutes. We were the only black couple in the restaurant and the other 3 tables were white. After we waited without any check ins from the staff, we got up and left. As we were walking out I noticed a new table that wasn't there when we arrived, white as well, they had already had appetizers. Unacceptable. This was my first visit and defiantly the last. Probably for the best, there were plenty of nasty tables and nagging flys everywhere read more

If you can get past the weird parking situation and bizarre angle of entry, the memory of those idiosyncrasies will quickly be swept away by Casablanca's surprisingly elegant interior as well as the delicious offerings it holds within. Veterans of Middle-Eastern dining will find exactly what they'd expect here, served with an added dash of authenticity that makes it solidly above average. Treat yourself to a Turkish coffee and soak up the vibes. You won't be disappointed. read more

Okay first I'd like to say service was wondeful and they answered all questions to a picky eater I brought with me to try the restaurant. So that's what the 3rd star is for. But frankly the food was very tasteless for Mediterranean cuisine and only deserves 2 stars. I've had better tasting Mediterranean at chain restaurants. It's definitely over priced for the quantity and quality of it. I was so looking forward to it but was very let down. read more

I have been to both the Poplar and Midtown locations and have absolutely loved my food both times. First a shawarma platter and then a chicken salad. However, service both times has been meh. More so tonight at the midtown location. It took at least 15 min to get water after being seated, and another 5 to get utensils after our food came. Slightly disappointing but the place is cute and the food is great. read more

I have been itching to try this place for ages! It was amazing. Very authentic middle eastern food. The first thing we ordered is their hot tea which really does live up to its name (Best hot tea in Memphis). I kept asking for more refills. We tried the hummus platter, spicy feta dip, and vegetarian platter. The hummus was phenomenal and the peta it comes with is fresh and fluffy. The dip was yummy but spicy as the name indicates. The vegetarian platter comes with delicious falafel bites, stuffed grape leaves, steamed vegetables, and small spanakopita bites. Everything was amazing. The server was incredibly nice and the decor of the place transports you to another world. Definitely worth giving this new location a try! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Memphis! Super friendly staff and incredibly delicious food! If you're not sure what to order, the main dish that keeps me coming is the Beef and Lamb Schawarma with their house sauce. You will not regret it! read more

They used to have a location in Cooper young that moved years ago out east on poplar. I never tried that location. So.... When they opened a location near my house, I had to go back. The server was friendly. The food was really good. I had a falafel pita. My friend was visiting from out of town and she went twice. I also tried her hummus and baba ganoush. I liked everything. She didn't care for it but I ate it for her. read more

Casablanca has found a fantastic new venue, while keeping the same great food. I had the mixed shawarma and hummus with pita chips and everything tasted wonderful. If you're feeling a bit adventurous or just need your sinuses cleared, try their special hot sauce. If the hot sauce proves too much for you, their yogurt sauce is just the thing to cool off you taste buds. I'm looking forward to my next visit to explore their menu even more. read more

Tried Casablanca for the first time tonight with a friend. We had the small mezza combo with extra falafel as an app. The hummus, baba ghannoush and falafel were all tasty. The pita was fresh and served hot. I tried the beef and lamb shawerma sandwich with a side of tabouli. I really enjoyed both dishes. The shawerma was difficult to eat as a sandwich, so I ended up using a knife and fork. I would definitely try Casablanca again -- overall an enjoyable experience. read more

I love the tea here. You can also get some to take home and brew. Great vegetarian meals and the schwarma is amazing. Authentic Middle Eastern food in a great atmosphere. The servings are pretty large so come hungry. read more

Food Great!!!!!! Service Sucks. At least our server. It was a Wednesday night and he was the male server. Go there! Avoid him!

This is a great restaurant to try middle eastern food. Staff is nice and the interior design is interesting and flammable.

Still find this place to be great!!! And yes, I still wish they had a separate lamb dish. But nevertheless the food is great. Had the chicken shawarma this time and it was amazing! Also the Moroccan soup is delicious!!! This is always a restaurant to eat at on my list. read more

This place is a midtown staple! Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Try the shawarma platter with rice and stewed vegetables. Their flafel is tasty, fresh and crispy. We always get the appetizer (with humus) and an extra side order flafel. Can't get enough of their house blend of hot tea, with ginger and honey. Great patio seating. read more

The best iced tea I have ever had!!! The Shawarma, hummus and Baklava is amazing!!!!! It's good comfort food!!!

Without a doubt the best Mediterranean/middle eastern food I've found in the area. Their hummus is great, and their shawarma is spot-on. Best thing about this place though is the service: they are polite and attentive ALWAYS. And they are open until 10pm. Atmosphere is great--perfectly decorated, has outdoor seating if you want it, and very peaceful each time I've been. The staff is extremely friendly. Love their mint tea (both the hot and cold versions). The only real room for improvement is with the stuffed grape leaves (dolma); they are okay but not fantastic. I also wish they had an affordable sampler that came with a little bit of all the dishes: bhaba ghanoush, hummus, dolma, etc, but the closest thing is a kind of pricey and huge vegetarian platter. One more thing: I like their bajaba ghanoush for the most part, but it is very different from everywhere else I've had it. read more

Amazing food. Just stopped in for a to-go order on our first night in Memphis. Whatever sauce was on the 5030 poplar was like liquid gold!

WOW!! This place is fantastic! Authentic, traditional and quality. The absolute best falafel I've ever had. Lentil soup had a wonderful flavor. I had the shaved beef and lamb Shawarma and it was fabulous, the sauces were full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. We hadn't planned on coming into town but I'm so glad we did. The service was prompt and warm and friendly. I highly recommend coming here. Don't miss the hot/cold tea made with ginger, sage and honey! read more

Their iced tea is soooo good. I just want to go back for the tea...and the delicious food as well. Wish their lunch menu was a little cheaper, but I just don't like spending money. read more

I have no idea what I ordered, but it took 3 people to bring it. The entire wait staff watched me eat it and clapped when I finished. I'm in love! read more

I'm a big fan of this place. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the staff are very friendly. The last couple times I've gone I ordered the shawarma platter and the shawarma sandwich with hummus. Neither disappointed! The waitress was really cute too :) read more

Amazing find! We happened upon it while in Memphis. The food was delicious, fresh and authentic. The cold brewed teas was so good and refreshing. We are definitely coming back! read more
