Belly dancer from 7-7:30 and 8-8:30pm. She was very fun dancing on stage and interacting with the crowd. She encouraged people from each group to learn a few steps from her. Dinner and a show, I'm down! The show was good, but the food was just fine. Everything leaned too sweet for my liking. Our group of 4 got the $30 each 7 course family style meal. Spicy (not even that spicy!! (2/5 spice level IMO)) chicken and the eggplant dish at the beginning were my favorite dishes. read more

I had dinner a Casablanca with my husband and in laws last Saturday when we spent the day exploring New Castle and Wilmington, and it was quite the experience. From the outside, it doesn't look like much; in fact, it looks like a bit of a dive from outside. But when you walk in, you are transported. The design of the restaurant is so special - community tables, pillows, tapestries, waterfall features, tiles, and belly dancing. The food was a little inconsistent. We shared many dishes: Bastilla (baked layers of filo dough, eggs, chicken, almonds, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar); hummus (chickpeas, tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, sprinkled with paprika and olive oil, served with pita bread); Spanakopita; salad trio (eggplant salad, cucumber and tomato salad, and carrot salad); lamb tagine (stew of lamb, onions, and roasted peppers topped with honey and served with rice); Moroccan chicken with harissa cumin sauce; mujaddara (cracked bulgur wheat cooked with lentils and caramelized onions); and mint tea. I wish they didn't serve bottled waters, and the food was mostly good but not the most consistent. Our mujaddara wasn't served with the yogurt sauce listed on the menu, and the lamb with the tagine was incredibly fatty, making some of it inedible. The mint tea was really really really sweet - like syrup! I also wish the bastilla had a little less powdered sugar (I like on the dish, but it was A LOT of powdered sugar), and it was quite dry. But the eggplant salad, carrot salad, hummus, and mujaddara (even without the yogurt sauce) were great. I would happily have eaten just those dishes. They were busy - it's a popular place - but service was also a challenge. It took us almost a half hour to get the check and pay. I had to ask for the bill twice and then it still took a while to get it, for it to get picked up, and for it to come back to us. It's pretty bad if I'm considering walking up to the bar to get the check and pay. I loved the ambiance and the character. I loved that you can't tell how amazing it's going to be inside when you see the outside of the building - it's a surprise for sure. Our experience was that the food was a bit inconsistent, but it certainly was a fun meal. read more

This restaurant has been serving northern Delaware for a long time. It even survived a fire long ago! Having been to Morocco (Tangiers), we can say the dishes it offer were quite good, and has an authentic taste. However, the selection is quite limited, offering either a 7 course package meal, or order a la carte. The dining area is well decorated, it even features a couple of water falls. However, the seating furnishing can use an upgrade, as it seems dated and worn. On certain evenings, you can enjoy music and a belly dancer! Be sure to check availability. Overall, a good dining experience if you like to try something more adventurous. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite. As we had to charge our car. On the outside, we weren't sure if it was the place where we wanted to eat. However we thought of checking it out. Looks better on the inside. The food was very reasonably priced. The service was good. The lemon chicken was very tender. Baklava was very tasty as well. The flavors were good. We tried the falafel wrap and salad platter which came with the chicken. read more

Wow!! Incredible ambiance with waterfall, music (stage for weekend) and more!!! Couches are comfortable. Tables are low and easy to use. Service is personable and attentive. It is a bit of Morocco in Delaware This is a great destination event restaurant. Come and celebrate or escape. The 7 course meal for 25 or 35 dollars was fantastic. No thinking just gluttony. The meats fell off the bone and were uniquely spiced. My only complaint is that I ate much more than I should have and still took dessert home in a box. read more

Not as good as it used to be. I wonder if it changed hands? The vegetarian dishes are wonderful, and the lemon chicken was good, but the lamb and beef and chicken kebabs were tough and inedible. The couscous with vegetables course was eliminated. The premeal handwash with rosewater has been replaced with plain water. The mint tea isn't presented as a "show" any longer (being poured from high above the glasses). I miss that authentic touch. Some of the tables are held together with electrical tape and the bathrooms are dirty. The belly dancer was absolutely fantastic and she was the best part of the evening. read more

Food was very good, the servers were great, love the atmosphere, we had a great time and were stuffed with the seven course meal,

The food was delicious. Our party of 4 was blown away by the service and we were happy to have leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. The atmosphere made us feel as if we had been transported to Northern Africa. Do yourself a favor and check out this amazing place! read more

Good food good service but the place is a little rundown. The food is solid, very tasty and cooked well and plenty of it. The portions are large so order wisely. The dinning room is nice and decorated Moroccan, definitely a place for large groups. They have a full bar and a few beers. The only down side it the outside and bathrooms are a little rundown, the hallway also need a little love. If the place was fixed up definitely 5 plus stars. I would absolutely come back. read more

This establishment is horrible. The water didnt work the belly dancer was subpar and the food was less than tasteful. Never going back. Worse experience ever read more

Totally recommend this place if you want a sometimes noisy but fun and extremely filling but delicious gigantic meal. Service is a little slow at times but friendly. Owner came over multiple times to chat and thank us for coming in. The food is amazing and plentiful. It was a Saturday evening so there was a belly dancer and a set menu. There were 5 of us, and the meal could have fed at least 6 or 7 comfortably for a paltry $25/head. As most people say, the outside is a little scary but inside is warm and inviting. Bathrooms could do with a little renovation for sure. We will certainly return, but this time with emptier stomachs. read more

Casablanca Moroccan Restaurant - End of our mea much later in the evening. When we arrived the place was crowded and lively. - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

So good! Got takeout from this place while traveling through the area Lamb Tagine - pretty good, lamb is really tender! Husband liked it more than I did. Less flavorful than my chicken Morocco Chicken with lemon and Olives - super flavorful and tender! Only thing - I didn't see any lemons or olives; I was hoping for preserved lemons. Also beware, many small bones from the spine! Baba ghanoush and hummus were also great, mild flavors but paired well with everything else. They came with a ton of pita read more

The service was good and all the food came out in a timely fashion. I would definitely go back here but more in a group oppose to just a date night, unless it's on a busy night which I think would be more entertaining. read more

We absolutely loved this place. It dues look rundown on the outside but one you get inside you will see the beauty of the place. We got the 7 course menus. Well worth it. The food was wonderful, the best course being the salad, chicken (fall off the bone chicken) & the fresh fruit, tea & baklava. Choose the Tarzan for the third course vs the skewers. The dancer was entertaining & enthusiastic. The service is good but you have to get their attention. I love that they have you wash your hands with rose water & they give you a nice size towel to drape on you & dry your hands. I do wish they give you plates but it is intended to be family style. I would return here. I would recommend this place read more

Ambiance: Classic Moroccan style seating, very comfortable. Good music. It's an older restaurant and could use some updating, but I love the decor! Service: Friendly and attentive. Drinks: Good beer selection. Food: Lamp kabob - meal was ok, a little dry. Restooms: Clean, but out of paper towels. Parking: On site, plenty of spaces. Value: Good value. We were the only ones in the restaurant during our dinner service, I didn't mind. It was a pleasant experience. NOTE: I did get a tummy ache afterwards, but will give it one more try - because I love lamb. read more

Saw the reviews and love Moroccan food so we had to come here. When we walked in it was like stepping into another country were by the owner. I was very personable and accommodating.. The seating was spacious. A guy came around with a cart containing a metal bowl. We put our hands over the bowl and he poured water on them as we rinsed our hands off. We were given a large towel to drape over our legs to eat over and wipe our hand with. We ordered the 7 course meal and it was amazing!! Loved everything so much that we're already planning our second trip back. read more

As we walked in, we were escorted to our table right away. We had a reservation. We came for my twin daughters birthday. The ambiance was nice. We were served quickly. Everyone was friendly and attentive. We did the birthday. I was pleased with the food and wine. There was a slight issue when I paid. But my main issue is, we realized after we got in the car, we didn't get the third course. We were plenty full, but that wasn't the point. The belly dancer was great. I will definitely do this again. read more

We love this place! Servers and Managers were all friendly, Welcoming and accommodating. Food was excellent and plentiful. Be warned to come hungry and to pace yourself. We had tons of leftovers that were just as good the next day. Casablanca is a real bargain. The interior is wonderfully fun. Please don't be put off by the appearance of the outside and the basic parking lot. It was just the two of us and we had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary. It is probably a fun to come with a group We were there on a weekday evening. Not many people eating in the restaurant but there seemed like lots of carry out orders You must try this place!! read more

The food, service, and entertainment were absolutely outstanding. Been there many times before over the past 10-15 years. Always look forward to the trip. We live in southern Delaware and Casablanca restaurant is in the most northern part of the state.. Never had a bad meal read more

Overall I would give a 4.5. We really enjoyed Casablanca and I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting in the area. I love Moroccan, but finding places is few and far between. The outside does not look like much, but inside is another story. It is a bit Disneyish version of Morocco, but fun enough to just embrace it. We were there on a quiet week night, so while we did make a reservation, we did not need it. During the weekend, it would probably be best to make one, especially as the other reviews mention a show. For me, Moroccan is a group experience, and Casablanca seems like it works best as shared. We did the "seven" course meal, it is a lot of food, but is not as overwhelming as that sounds as a few of the courses are together. It starts with hummus and pita, along with cold salads. The hummus is better than average, and the salads are phenomenal. We had the carrots, eggplant, and cucumber (salad trio). For simple, cold salads, there is a whole lot of flavor there (they also lasted well as leftovers). Next is a sweet and savoy pasty (I do not recall the name of), egg and meat cooked in a phyllo dough and topped with sugar. It was good, but probably my least favorite of what we had. The mains were lemon chicken and lamb with rice. The chicken is first and we devoured it, juicy, chicken literally falls off the bone. The lamb was good, but a little bit tough, though this could just be following the chicken, water would be dry. I did really like the rice that it came with. We were overly full at this point, but were still able to enjoy the baklava. This is also served with a literal bowl of whole fruit. We had enough leftover for a full meal for two people. The hummus, salads, and the lemon chicken were our favorites, if you want a smaller meal, have less people in your group, and do not want leftovers, you can leave happy with these dishes. The server is wonderful and all of the food comes at the right temperature and well paced. They do have a full bar, there was not really a good menu, their wine menu seemed to be by ordering full bottles, or perhaps we just misunderstood. There is also a small hooka lounge on the side of the restaurant. My friend, from Detroit, thought they were much better than average, especially in regards to the service. The music is really loud, which could take away if you are interested in a more relaxing experience. Very cool to place to check out. read more

Hubby and I had rough workday. Impromptu dinner was wonderful. Now I'm diabetic so I'll give it 4/5stars for too much sugar. Hubby is not diabetic and he thought the tea was overwhelming with sugar. For me it could have been unsweetened and I would be delighted. That should be an option. It's also a little too bright, but that's better than it was pre-renovation. It's a great place for small intimate gatherings with very close friends. They wash your hands with rose water. Nice touch! But serving utensils are provided as well. For my Hookah smokers they have a separate section. . Open until 1AM. Check it out. Tell them Notary Yvette sent you read more

Bought a Groupon and made a reservation. Figured it would be fun to try something new. Arrived at the time of my reservation only to find out that they had closed unexpectedly. Called the restaurant number and was told that they wouldn't be able to give me a refund. You just charged me 70$ and didn't give me anything for my payment. Don't purchase the Groupon. Save yourself from this scam. The exterior looks like a real shady place too, nothing like the glamour of the website. read more

Such a fun place! Service was good, food was amazing. Loved the music and belly dancer. And very reasonably priced. I'd highly recommend.

I used to LOVE Casablanca so when I came back to DE for a visit I made it a point to bring my family there for dinner before we flew home the next day. It was okay. That's the best I can say. The salads were good. The lemon chicken was good. Apparently they don't serve couscous anymore so that was a disappointment. The kabobs were fine I guess, but the baklava wasn't sweet at all, almost like they forgot the honey. All in all it was okay. Will I rush to go again next time I'm in DE? No. I think I'll go to the Main Street location. read more

We arrived early Friday evening and were immediately greeted and seated. The restaurant's ambiance was authentic Moroccan. We were seated in comfortable cushioned booths surrounding by a few other guests. It wasn't as private as I wanted but didn't want to seem rude and asked to be seated away from everyone. As customs require, we were instructed to wash our hand with rose water at the table. Menu is predetermined with the exception of choosing your main entree. First course was Moroccan salad (cucumbers/tomatoes, eggplant, and carrots. Delicious and so well seasoned. Cucumber salad was my favorite. Second course was bastilla. Chicken and chickpea filling was a little bland but I did enjoyed the outer pastry shell. Third course we chose spicy chicken over the chicken with lemon. It wasn't as spicy as I assumed it would be but it wasn't too bad. Fourth course beef and lamb kabobs. Very good. Lamb was a little fatty but that's expected. Fifth course was couscous. It wasn't extremely favorable. Last course was baklava and fruit and tea. The dessert and tea was delicious. I'd love to have that tea at home. It was so sweet! Service was exceptional and we were given as much pita bread as we requested!!! I definitely would recommend and I also would return. Belly dancer also performed a show at 7pm. She was a doll and even practiced her moves with a few female patrons. Great experience :) read more

Fun experience, nice staff. Most tender roast chicken ever. The choice of bath towels for napkins was odd but necessary.

Soooo I'm not gonna lie, I was a little reluctant to eat here but at 9pm after driving 4 hours I didn't have many choices but AM I SO GLAD I DID!?!?! The delicious Moroccan food overshadowed anything that would deter me from going here again. When you first walk in the decor transports you to another world. A vast contrast from the parking lot walk-up. We did the 7-course family-style dinner and I know that sounds crazy for 9pm but once again so glad! The pickled veg plate was a great start, then the ridiculously good bastilla pie (it will be in my dreams forever)! Roasted Chicken with spicy sauce that just fell off the bone, so tender and flavorful, yummy lamb kebabs, steak kebabs and the best baklava I've ever had in my life, so fresh and crunchy! The only reason they don't get 5 stars is the dinning room could use a little refreshing but that won't stop me from coming back!!! read more

Casablanca is a great concept and a fun place to come for a special occasion with a group. A 7-course Moroccan meal along with two belly dance shows on weekends makes for a fun night out. I recently brought my dad here for his birthday and the four of us had a great time. There were several large groups there than night also celebrating birthdays. Our reservation was for 7pm and the belly dance shows are at about 7:30 and 9. We were there a good 3 hours making our way through all the courses and got to take in both shows. The first course was a salad course with eggplant, cucumbers and carrots. The eggplant was very tasty. The fresh bread, whole chicken and some of the vegetarian entrees were very good. Most of the courses were good, except for one which was couscous - it was rather bland. The fresh fruit at the end of the evening was a nice touch, but the baklava was bit of a let down. I love me some good baklava. For $25 a person (alcohol extra) it's a really great deal. Casablanca is all about the experience. Go at least once, so grab some friends and family and head over. (And check out Groupon before you go, you may find a deal) read more

Came here last sunday for the first time. It was amazing. The service was excellent, they made us pina coladas, and the food was delicious not to mention very good prices! read more

I brought boo to Casablanca (actually she drove me) because we were down the road at Christiana Mall (yay tax-free shopping!) and I had a soon to expire $50 groupon for this place. The price is $25 per person for a "7 course" meal, so the $50 groupon will cover that sans alcohol/soda/tip. Parking is plentiful and the restaurant is easy to access from the highway. We'd made a rezzy for 7 pm but showed up at 6:30 with no problem. It wasn't super busy on a Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend. They wash your hands with rosewater before the start of the meal, then it keeps coming! The first course was really the top 1 or 2 of the whole bunch. You're given as much pita as you desire from a giant basket (take at least 3 pieces), then served a plate of eggplant, cooked carrots and cucumber. All were tasty but the eggplant really steals the show. Following this was a pastilla, which is a Filo dough pastry with cinnamon and egg and I dunno what else. I really hate eggs so I didn't eat this, but boo liked it and it did smell good, as it has cinnamon on top. Next up is chicken with some olives. It was fall off the bone tender and very juicy and flavorful. Delicious. You'll then be given a choice of beef or chicken for the kebab course. My advice: get the chicken! The beef was burnt to a crisp, as were the onions. We still ate nearly all of it due to hunger but it left a lot to be desired. Following kebab was a fruit (course #6) and baklava plate. The fruit was plentiful: a whole banana, whole apple and while orange plus a ton of red grapes. You'll also be served mint tea to accompany this final course (or courses are they each considered to be one). The mint tea was way too sweet and when I asked if they could serve it without sugar, I was told no. That was disappointing as it would've been delicious sans sweetener. The fruit was fresh, but the baklava was extremely disappointing. It had no honey on top and it was mostly Filo, the filling was pretty bland. I've had much much better. The wine selection was VERY limited, many wines were "sold out" or not available by the glass, a bit baffling as this is how much of their profit is made. I had whatever the house red is (probably Carlo Rossi as this was an option by the bottle) and it was drinkable, especially for $4. Coke was $1 a can, not bad at all. I can't fault the restaurant for our neighbors who couldn't control their child and played their kid's TV show far too loudly. Is this what life has come to? We have to permanently distract our children? Don't bring them out to a decent restaurant if they can't sit still, that's my 2 cents. I digress... Overall, Casablanca is decent and worth a try if you've never had Moroccan cuisine. Restrooms were pretty clean, you'll leave full, the wine/beer are $4 and soda is only a buck. Just don't travel out of your way for it, be sure to get a groupon, and fill up on the eggplant and chicken courses. read more

Casablanca Moroccan Restaurant - You can't miss it from the street - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Castle, Delaware

Soso good!!!! Delicious food and great service. The place itself is decorated beautifully and there was a belly dancer to perform.

Food was so-so nothing extra special for me. The service was good and they were friendly. My real issues come with the cleanliness of the place. When we first got here I was like this place looks rough on the outside. I hoped it was better when we walked in. It wasn't the doors and walls you could see haven't been cleaned in a long time. They had ceiling fans and most were turned on. The ones above our tables area were not turned on and covered with tons of dust so I imagine the rest of them are also. read more

Quite a unique establishment! The quality of the food here really depends on what you order. I ordered the falafel pita wrap which was a great value for $6 (for two halves)--typically these are $10 or more in my locality. The fresh ingredients and quality were surprisingly good, even for 9pm on a Sunday night in the middle of Delaware. However, the other items I tried, the baklava, lamb and beef gyro, and the Moroccan eggplant salad were mediocre to poor. At best, the falafel pita wrap warranted a 4 star and all the other items 2 stars. However, their interior is quite fanciful-- the ornate designs seemed quite traditional and reminded me of when I had visited Morocco many years ago. Additionally, we encountered a very friendly staff who knew 5(!) languages and wanted to learn a sixth. Her curiosity and bubbly warmth left me with a good taste; from immigrant to immigrant, I understood her experiences and sympathized with her story. Last but definitely not least, there is a hookah bar. When coming back from DC on a Sunday night looking for food, there were limited options in the middle of Delaware. Thus, we naturally only looked at the menu at Casablanca Restaurant to order quickly--we didn't see the part about the hookah bar. Needless to say, the bar was quite popular and seemed to be the main service. We were first surprised to see so many people dining in on a Sunday night--the parking lot was about 3/4 full--but then realized it was all for hookah. The smell was unmistakeable and wafted throughout the restaurant. However, as long as it doesn't bother you, it's not too off-putting. I've never tried hookah, but if that's your cup of tea, it seems they are the destination! Overall a 4-star due to the hit-or-miss on their menu but compensated for by the service. read more

Place is awesome. Experience and food is great. A must go. Big a big group and enjoy the evening including the belly dancer.

If we had come on a night when they have their belly dancers I think that would've been really fun. Probably a great show. It's probably what keeps this place open.
