What an incredible experience! As a Moroccan, I can honestly say the food here is authentic and full of flavor. We had the lamb tagine, chicken tagine, and traditional Moroccan mint tea, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The tagines were perfectly cooked, rich, and tasted just like home. What made the experience even more special was Naima, the owner. She was incredibly warm, caring, and welcoming. She took the time to make us feel at home, and her hospitality truly elevated the entire meal. If you're looking for genuine Moroccan cuisine in Los Angeles, Casablanca Moroccan Kitchens is a must-visit. Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional service. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in LA. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time trying Moroccan cuisine and I loved it to say the least! The chicken tangine was my favorite dish - it is supercharged with flavor. It's tangy, savory, and made me feel warm. You can tell the chefs prepared everything with so much care. I love the decoration and ambiance inside. It truly felt like a vacation abroad. Staff and owners are so sweet! read more

WOW! Very unassuming exterior first off. Keep in mind there is only street parking so come with plenty of time to look for parking. We came on a weekday so we didn't struggle too much. Once you walk inside it's like being transported to Morocco. From the music to the decorations, just stunning! I am assuming the lady who waited on us is an owner along with the chef. Either way, it felt like being served by family. They were very attentive and the chef even came out to ask us a few questions and chat. He even joked that a plane would come pick us up after the meal to take us to Morocco haha! It was our first time trying Moroccan food and came from an hour away to try it and they were very happy to hear that. Now for the food, everything was delicious. We tried the Chicken Pastilla (flaky and oh so tasty! Sweet and savory). We also tried the Lamb Honey Tagine (my personal fave, also sweet and savory, full of sticky sweet apricots). It was the most tender fall off the bone meat. We also tried the Kefta tagine which was savory and a good balance for all the sweet flavors in our other dishes. The tomato flavor was rich and warm. Lastly, we tried the assorted cookies and they were all so different: powdery, nutty, sweet. Overall, a must try! They also let us know that weekend dinner service has belly dancers! We will be back for that! Bonus story: they loved my name Guadalupe (they asked our names when we entered and confirmed them at the end of our meal). It was very sweet and added to the family feel of the restaurant. read more

The food and people were great. I have been to Morocco multiple times and the food did hit the right spot. The ambiance is great and the decoration did bring back memories. We had the Salad Sampler, Chicken Pastilla, Chicken Tagine, Lamb Honey Tagine and Veggie Couscous. It was enough to take some home for a party of 3.5. We hope to come back soon but it was worth the drive. read more

Casa Blanca Moroccan Kitchen is deceptively small by its narrow store front, but it is very deep hiding a secret patio garden in back. The kitchen is in front so as you enter you can smell the aromas of Northern African Mediterranean cooking. 1) There is a "Mezze" like Hors d'Oeuvre: a) Cubed red beets, sliced almonds, Feta goat cheese, "herbed house dressing". b) Cooked carrot salad dressed with cumin, Harissa/red chile mix of roasted red peppers, garlic, olive oil, and spices like cumin, coriander, and caraway. c) Refreshing Chopped tomatoes, cucumber, "House Vinaigrette" d) House baked bread touch yeasty with very buttery evoo & agrodolce Aceto Balsamico. 2) Chicken Bastilla: Very thin, crispy, golden brown, airy Philo dough wraps around shredded baked chicken and long braised sweet, touch sour onions which imitate texture of long braised beef. This hill of pastry is sprinkled with white confectioners' sugar to create an alpine Atlas Mountains, snow covered scene. This seems to be the signature dish of Morocco, Tunisia, Libya. 3) Merguez Sausage is thin, long rough ground lamb spiced with cumin, red chiles, Harissa. Casa Blanca's version is lean, meaty, lightly spiced. I've had other versions where more ample Harissa and chiles are infused for piquant effect and aromatics. 4) Lamb Honey Tagine is a huge lamb shank generous enough meat for at least two people. Tagine are long, slow braised in a conical shaped top cover and long braised like pot roast, and the meat falls off the bone. Prunes are also braised in the honey so there is a savory sweet, slightly pleasing gaminess. As the chef mentioned, Moroccan cuisine emphasizes the sweet and savory. 1-4a) Strong Mint Tea was ideal for refreshing the palate from the meaty, sweet sour motif. Too full to order dessert, so it will have to be the next time. Kind, gentle hospitality is the hallmark at Casablanca. They also try to provide tranquility to be able to have mindful dining which is also appreciated. 4+ stars read more

Who hasn't dreamed of going on a once in a lifetime trip to Morocco? What do the names Marrakech, Fez, Tangiers and Casablanca conjure up in the imagination? Exotic, spices, perfumed aromas, warmth, color, beauty, and the rich celebration of life -- all of these things signify Morocco to me. I have only been there once many years ago but still relish the culture in which I was immersed there. Well, Casablanca Moroccan Kitchens takes you directly from Melrose to Morocco for a few hours. Under the brilliant creative genius of owner Naïma, you will feel you have been whisked away on a memorable journey of exceptional flavor and imaginative culinary artistry. Take a look at my (24) pictures to see a vivid depiction of what words can only fail to convey. First of all, the interior is gorgeous, filled with the floral majesty and saturated colors of the country and steeped in both history and handcraft. Every inch reveals a piece of Morocco carefully selected by Naïma on her travels back to her home there in Marrakech (the site of the world renowned La Mamounia hotel). Every element of the menu has been curated. Start with the generously portioned exceptional semolina bread, Khobz, made fresh daily by Naïma herself, served as a complimentary appetizer with dark and delicious olives and olive oil/Balsamic vinegar. The menu has quite a few vegan and vegetarian dishes. We chose three but Naïma suggested others, the eggplant among them, to try when we come back next time. And there is plenty for the pescatarian and carnivore as well. One thing I love about Moroccan food is the fact that, among the cuisines of the Middle East and Mahgreb, Moroccan is the closest to my native Sicily in that the vegetables and sauces, as well as the desserts, are seasoned to enhance their flavor but are not harsh or overly bitter or acid as some foods in that area can be. It is easy to eat these meals and they somehow feel familiar while being out of the ordinary. Hajar, our server, was the epitome of welcome and care, coming by again and again to make sure we were well attended (we were!). On top of the satisfying and comforting main dishes, we also had the smoothest espressos I can remember and two delicate, elegant desserts: Naïma's unique verson of baklava, and a specialty usually served during Ramadan, which has been described this way: "Moroccan Chebakia is a traditional, intricate sesame cookie dough, folded into flowers, fried until golden, and soaked in honey scented with orange blossom water. Made with flour, ground sesame seeds, almonds, saffron, and spices, this labor-intensive, crunchy treat is famously served during Ramadan". This was Naïma's gift to us for coming in. Naïma epitomizes her name by being warm and caring, even learning and using our names to make us feel like, well, family. Casablanca opens in the early afternoon, but I wouldn't come before 5 pm. In fact, weekend nights are best as the entire restaurant puts on a show and invites guests to be part of the festivities, with music and even dancing. The rooms twinkle with magic after dark, so try to come during those times and be sure to make a reservation. Parking on the side streets is pretty easy, especially on Sundays. When you need comfort and a vacation, put this at the top of your list. read more

If you're looking for more than just a meal and want a true experience, Casablanca Moroccan Kitchen absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, you're transported--the ambiance, the music, the warmth--it feels like stepping into Morocco itself. The cultural experience is just as rich as the food, and that's what makes this place so special. And the food... truly next level. Every dish is layered with flavor, beautifully spiced, and clearly made with intention and authenticity. You can taste the tradition in every bite. From the perfectly tender meats to the fresh, vibrant sides, everything feels both comforting and elevated. What I loved most is that it doesn't feel commercialized--it feels personal, soulful, and deeply rooted in Moroccan culture. It's the kind of place you go to slow down, connect, and savor every moment. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Not just amazing food--an unforgettable cultural journey. read more

The flavors and textures this chef produces are so yummy. The Honey Lamb Tagine is my personal favorite and before eating here I didn't like Lamb. I have had other things but always return to the Lamb. Also, the Mint Tea is sublime. And and and. If you like spice ( not heat spice) you will love their flavors. The service is very attentive and fast. The decor is so warm. It's like walking into another world. I don't know how they keep the dining area so clean when it feels like it's outdoors. read more

Came here for my birthday recently and had a ball. Immediately fell in love with the space after seeing the pastilla pottery and walking through the kitchen to get to the dining area. The room is spacious and well-adorned, feeling modern and cute but also loyal to the establishment's Moroccan roots. The waitstaff was tremendously attentive and quick to offer our food. I got the meat lover's item, which is prix fixe and comes with a smattering of salads, a pastilla, and a choice of couscous or tagine. We added the honey lamb tagine on the side of the merguez couscous that came with the meat lover's and it was a great balance of sweet and savory. For adventurous foodies, this place is not to be missed. Really loved chatting with the waitstaff here as well and will definitely be back. "Say it once, Tim, for old times' sake!" read more

Came on valentines day- note that when the reservation was made, there was no warning about a prefixed menu set. We could only order the set for 90$ per person, which was substantially more expensive than if we ordered individually. A review on service/prices aren't fair as it was v-day! As for the food, there aren't many Moroccan food spots around LA. Love the traditionally decorated interior. Casablanca salad 7.5/10: trio of beet salad, carrots, and tomato/cucumber. it was amazingly refreshing, but I would not pay more than 15$ for it Lamb Tagine 9.4/10 honey, caramelized prunes, apricots, onions, almonds with a fork-tender lamb shank. sweet and soft fruits, perfectly seasoned. certain meat parts were tough and chewy though fish tagine 6/10: was just okay. sea bass, lemon, potatoes, bell pepper, tastes exactly like it looks baklava and moroccan mint tea was smooth and baklava wasn't as sweet and stale as others i've had - still not my top choice of dessert, but would re-order the tea! chicken pastilla 8.5/10: i WISH the chicken to onion cinnamon paste ratio was better and the shredded chicken wasn't so dry. loved this dish because it has such high potential! flaky pastry with almonds and powdered sugar was perfect. seafood pastilla 7/10: mix of shrimp, scallops, cod, seasoned well. not a huge seafood flavor fan so it's not worth to get again read more

You have the opportunity to dine at Casablanca Moroccan Kitchens for a reduced price during Dine LA restaurant promotions. So, go now. Dine LA winter offer is January 23 thru February 6, 2026. We had three meat lovers dinners and a pescatarian dinner. The pescatarian dinner is usually $75 but was $55 as were the meat lovers meals. We did bring wine and there was no corkage charge. We were given two small plates of bread and olives as a starter, and at the end of the end complementry baklava. We did order a pot of mint tea and there was a $24 charge for that but it is worth it as a final ending. As others have said, the tip 20% and the sale's tax are added to the bill.. The restaurant is charming as are the owners. There is music and a couple of TVs showing photos of Morocco. As I understand it Anis is the co-owner, host and chef with his wife Niamea who was our server. Our meal started with the bread and olives followed by three of their house salads. After that came the pastille, it seemed bigger than it looks in the photos. After that was my lamb shank over couscous. Everything was good and servings were plentiful. We even took some home.. I would go again. read more

This place might look small from the outside, but it has a big, cozy outdoor patio that's perfect for dinner. We came on a super hot Saturday for lunch and ended up getting the full Moroccan experience. We were greeted by Anis, who was the owner, chef, and server all in one. Super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he's really passionate about what he does. He walked us through the menu and told us he created all the dishes himself, which was pretty cool. Right off the bat, he brought us complimentary olives, fresh-baked bread, Moroccan olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. That bread and olive oil alone--wow. I'd come back just for that. We ordered the salad sampler (beet salad, cucumber and tomato, and carrot salad)--all fresh and full of flavor. Then we tried the chicken pastilla, which Anis said is a Moroccan classic--kind of like a sweet and savory meat pie with flaky pastry. For the main course, we had the Lamb Honey Tagine (with honey, prunes, apricots, onions, and almonds) and the Lamb Couscous with a big lamb shank and seven different veggies. This was the best Moroccan food I've ever had--full disclosure, it's also the first Moroccan food I've ever had :). I've realized it might not be my thing, so it's hard for me to judge it fairly. But based on the tons of 5-star Yelp reviews, it's clear that a lot of people love and enjoy the food here. It's a small mom-and-pop spot with a super warm, personal vibe, and Anis is such a charismatic and kind host. I really respect the passion and care that goes into what they do. Definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Moroccan cuisine. read more

Having had Moroccan cuisine only once and with my daughter being a novice to it, we weren't sure what flavors to expect. The restaurant, owned by a couple, offered excellent service; the wife provided insightful recommendations while the husband checked in with us to ensure we enjoyed their cooking. The decor was elegant with artifacts that captured the Moroccan aesthetic. The crevette pilpil is actually an appetizer but the portion was so huge I'm glad I ordered it as my entree. Both the lamb honey tagine and the chicken tagine were flavorful. The attentive service and delicious cuisine made this a restaurant to come back to. read more

Extremely disappointed. Casablanca doesnr deserve a 5-star, their story is suspect !!! Ordered the lemon chicken Targine as it looks like a culinary work of art ! But that's about it.... Great texture, very little flavor . First and foremost, there's hardly any lemon flavor at all. On the gravy , nor the chicken. The base gravy almost tastes like a very mild and bland form of an Indian chicken curry dish. The olives strengthens its presentation grade , but don't really add anything flavor wise. There was nothing lemon-y about the chicken. Lemon chicken is supposed to be moderate to extremely overpowering , but I can only detect a smidgen . Like super feint. They might want to rename it chicken targine, instead of lemon chicken targine. Chicken was well-cooked and juicy but lacked any defining flavor. At $31 dollars is this justified ! Heck no!!! read more

Went here for lunch on a Sunday for Dine LA, and it was a great experience. I got lucky and found metered street parking very close almost in front of the restaurant. My friend had to circle around the block and ended up parking not too far across the street. Walking in, I thought it was the back door as you basically pass through and can see the kitchen on your right before you see any tables. Keep going, and you're transported into another world. The open, sunny dining room felt like a romantic garden. To the right, there is another dining room that had a completely different atmosphere. It was more shaded and hence was cooler, and the decor screamed Morocco. I started with a Moroccan mint tea. It came in a beautiful tea pot and was probably enough for 2 people. Apparently they had several large parties the night before, so they told us they ran out of lamb honey tagine but could get a couscous or another entree outside the Dine LA menu. Seeing my disappointment, they checked the kitchen and told us they could whip up one lamb honey tagine. Of course I took the offer. I also got a carrot salad with harissa and cumin, which was delicious. My friend ordered a lamb couscous and a beet salad. The portions were huge that I was so stuffed, and my friend took half of her lamb couscous home. I prefer the carrot salad and lamb honey tagine over the beet salad and lamb couscous. The highlight of the experience was the hospitable service. We felt like we were guests in their home. They checked in on us quite frequently to make sure we liked everything and had a good experience. There's a 3% charge if you pay with a credit card. read more

First off, I never leave reviews but after eating at Casablanca I just feel it in my soul to share this magical place with the world. My two friends and I went in for lunch. They hit every mark. Service 100%. Ambiance 100%. The chef came out and made a special Tagine for me. Everything there is prepared in house. The entire team came to the table to engage. It felt like we were part of the family. As someone who was toured the entire country of Morocco, I felt I've been transported right back. 100% authentic. Will definitely be back with others. Again, just truly magical. read more

We had the pleasure of going to Casablanca Moroccan Kitchens last night. It was such a nice experience. The care and love put into all of the details show. From the outside it looks like a small restaurant. But when you walk in, you walk past the kitchen, and then, wow. The place just opens up. The décor is so well done. The wall of roses and lights. The drapes on the ceiling and walls, paint schemes,  tile work and nick knacks work so well to make you feel comfortable. And the owners are just as wonderful. So friendly, you feel like family. There was a Prix Fixe menu that really included everything. But as we do not eat that much, we went with Scallops Pastilla and Chicken Tagine. As well as some Baklava for dessert. We were brought bread with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping as well as some Kalamata olives. The bread was so soft on the inside and a bit of crust that gave just a bit of resistance. The olives were one of the highlights. They were so good. Not overly seasoned, but so much flavor. The Pastilla came out and was fresh from the oven. Hot and crispy. There is some lemon to squeeze on to the scallops, it was delightful. The scallops were juicy and not overcooked, the seasoning was not overpowering. We cleaned the plate. Then came the Chicken Tagine. It was a good size breast and wing, that was so tender it just fell off of the bone. It was so flavorful.  The vegetables that came with the chicken were a great accompaniment. As was the bread that came with it. We (I) decided to get some Baklava for dessert. Not overly sweet like some are. It was not dripping in honey, but you could taste it! Good size pieces that took a couple of bites to finish. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back. We were so comfortable from the second we walked in through the front door. There is parking in the area, and there may be parking right in front, but it was full when we went. Come with an appetite and expect to be pleased with a great meal and hospitality. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch on a Saturday in late January and had a fantastic meal. We came without a reservation and found street parking easily in the neighborhood. The restaurant seating is in an airy outdoor courtyard that's fully covered. It feels festive and is decorated in traditional Moroccan decor. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife duo, and the wife was our server that day. She was welcoming and very friendly. She also gave us a few recommendations. The menu at Casablanca is varied, with menu options for meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans. The food here is very flavorsome and everything we had was delicious. She recommended the lamb honey tagine as their most popular dish for meat-eaters and it definitely didn't disappoint. It was both sweet and savory, and I have a strong craving for it just thinking about it now. The servings were pretty big, and we also had appetizers and bread, so we left after only half finishing our mains. I'm looking forward to coming back and bringing more friends here. read more

My husband and I love Moroccan food and we've been looking for a new place for years. But we live in the Valley and don't go into Hollywood very often. Man, are we ever glad we did! The atmosphere is lovely. It's homey and comfortable, but also romantic and intimate. We went for the DineLA menu, to get an idea of their selections. OMG. We each received a salad sampler. 3 different bowls of salads. All so delicious. I typically would choose the tomato cucumber as my favorite, and that was wonderful, but the beets were the best. Even the carrots (I don't usually like carrots) were excellent. I ordered the seafood pastilla and the fish tagine. My husband got the chicken pastilla and the lamb honey tagine. Good lord. Every. Single. Bite. was perfect. The flavors, spice levels, textures - all perfect. Oh, and the homemade bread and marinated olives. Divine. And to top it all off, the owners are just the sweetest, friendliest, most welcoming people. Nyima and her husband (sorry Chef, I didn't get your name) made us feel like family.

Excellent service, attentive but not intrusive, and we loved talking with them too. Wonderful little restaurant. read more
