    I love the seating and decor of Casablanca, with the big round brass serving tables and muted lighting. I have found memories of all the prior Moroccan restaurants I've eaten at in SF and San Jose, and the fun watching the belly dancers that makes it all a festive mood. The service was prompt and attentive but when we asked about the spices used in the carrots appetizer he was unsure of the ingredients, we asked because they were outstanding in flavor. I offered the Sultans Feast meal which gave a large variety of appetizers to include wonderful Lentil Soup, tasty Hummus, carrots and beets are an option depending on the season, and a very unique tasting dish made with filo bread, almonds and eggs called B'Stela Royal that was both rich and light. For the entrees there was a the vegetarian Couscous called OUJDI, and to share also the traditional Moroccan Stew called Tangines, and I wanted the beef stew after having it in Spain as it was delicious, it's called BIDAWI. You must have the Mint Tea, it's a bit sweet here but always refreshing and a taste treat, the meal ends with Baklava and was mouth watering marvelous! Overall a good experience, though I was surprised given the quality of each plate that the peas in the beef stew and couscous seemed like not fresh but canned peas, as they were so squishy and lacked much flavor. All the other meals were tasty, unique and plentiful in serving size. Also a must have is the Honey Sauce and Almonds chicken had an amazing sauce and not to be missed. The chicken was a little overdone and not as moist as expected for a sauce based chicken but still tasty with a bounty of different flavors mixed in and that sauce was addictive , and had some yogurt added ! Casablanca was a fun and satisfying experience and with only one other small group of guests, I hope their business improves as we need unique ethnic cuisine to improve the variety of foods and styles we eat!

    Medley of everything they offered as a variety of family style dishes.

    Came for my sister in laws bday, and it was definately busy. Food was fantastic but only down side was it was 1 server to the whole restaurant. He was amazing and did his best but they seemed overwhelmed. But it was byob for beer and wine and that definately helped. Dancer did an amazing job entertaining the restaurant and food was great. Vibes were warm and welcoming but staff seemed short handed.

    I took my boyfriend to Casablanca for his birthday, as he had never been. This was my third time there, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience. The entertainment, including belly dancing, was exceptional. The cuisine was authentic and delicious, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, making it a great place for a party of any size or age. I saw a gentleman celebrating his 90th birthday on one side of the restaurant and a large family with young teenagers on the other. The price was absolutely worth it for the quality of the food and entertainment.

    Chicken with plums tajine, veggie couscous, all the appetizers, and iced mint tea.

    I used to live not far from here but never knew it was there, despite my addiction to Yelp! Well I moved away but my mom wanted to get together for dinner and she found Casablanca. I was very excited to try it since I used to go to Moroccan and North African restaurants all the time when I lived in Europe. For first timers, the menu is a bit confusing, so here is how it works. You choose the dinner you want at the top, there are two choices. We both got the first one. It comes with the appetizers listed below, they are not extra. Then you choose which of the dinner items you want: couscous, tajine, etc. Then it comes with tea and dessert. Everything is included, which makes it a really great deal. We also ordered iced mint tea, which was very refreshing. The appetizers were amazing , and very generous portions too. Lentil soup, spiced carrot salad, some of the best hummus anywhere, generous basket of pita bread, AND a sort of flaky filo tart filled with nuts and spices, and topped with cinnamon and powdered sugar, that was like a new take on baklava. All this was a meal for two in and of itself! We couldn't finish them. I ordered the veggie couscous and my mom ordered the chicken cooked with plums tajine. We decided to eat family style so we could both enjoy everything, and enjoy we did. The flavors were spot on. Everything was so good. Then they gave us both a small piece of baklava and warm mint tea for dessert. We didn't end up finishing any one thing between the two of us, and there were enough leftovers for a sizable meal the next day. I highly recommend this restaurant. Not only was the food amazing, but the people working there were so nice and friendly. It really makes for a great experience.

    Let's start with the ambience absolutely amazing from the aesthetics to the people to the entire vibe. The place is just amazing.. The staff was friendly, welcoming and very attentive to everyone in the restaurant. The food oh my God, I'm just gonna say it's an experience. It's definitely something to brave about something to go back and try again and we definitely will be back. The kids enjoyed it. We enjoyed it. Everybody in a restaurant. Enjoyed the whole entire night.

    Casablanca is a hidden gem in Sacramento! I've never had Moroccan food and was excited to try this place out. Dinner is in a set menu, my boyfriend and I ordered the Sultan's feast which was $36 per person. It included appetizers, the entrees, and dessert with mint tea. Everything was super delicious and yummy. My favorite was the couscous and beef stew. One thing to note was that the pastilla was heavily topped with powdered sugar and the honey chicken was a tad too sweet. My palate is pretty sensitive to sweet stuff so at times it was a bit overbearing. The chicken however was delicious once you got past the sweetness! The spices contrasted well with the honey. I think if it was less drenched in the honey sauce I would eat more of it. We made a reservation at 5 but turns out we didn't really needed it, when we came we were the first customers. I wasn't sure how busy this place would be on a Friday night. Service was a little slow at first and unfortunately we weren't provided with a hand cleansing bowl like someone mentioned in a previous review nor did we get to experience watching the belly dancers. Perhaps we came too early, but we will be back a next time.

    Casablanca Moroccan Restaurant is as good as ever. They recently re-modeled, updated their decorations, and opened up the private room to make the place larger and more inviting. I brought my family here pre-pandemic and we enjoyed all the food and belly dancer entertainment. I dropped by with my wife on a weekday to check out how they were before bringing the whole family back here and I'm excited to bring them back, the food is as good as before! We ordered Sultan's Feast which comes with many items and actually confused me on what I was eating but everything was fresh and tasteful. Food came out as we finished each dish. Our favorite dish was the B'stela Royal, a crispy cinnamon filo dough with eggs and almonds. I appreciated the upbeat music and our waiter constantly checking up on us. Our drinks never ran dry. Our feast felt like it was made for a Sultan and we were able to bring the leftovers home.

    No idea what this was. We couldn't determine if it was chicken or lamb. It was sweet but had some decent flavor.

    Ask the Community - Casablanca Moroccan Restaurant

    Is this place still open?

    The owner, Maurhit, sadly passed away a few weeks ago while in Morocco. I haven't heard whether the restaurant will reopen.

    Are reservations required?

    I'm not sure about reservations, but I wouldn't attempt to go there without one 😉. We had reservations but there were no seats available, so we waited in a room just off the dining area and were served some delicious Moroccan tea. Call the… 

    Is there belly dancing?

    They didn't have it when we went. You might want to call and ask.

    What exactly is the Sultan's Feast? Does the chef pick? Asking due to dietary restrictions with meat. Thanks!

    I don't know if the Sultan's Feast is the same every time, but ours included a dish with beef and one with chicken. However, vegetarian options are available (and delicious 😋!) You can order a la carte as well. They are very accommodating.

    Can they handle temporarily handicaped? Just had knee surgery and can't sit on low pillows etc ;)

    Yes, they have a booth style seat at every table as well.

    Do they serve alcohol? Or do u bring your own?? First time going tonight?

    You can bring your own. Wonderful restaurant. Enjoy!

    Do they still do belly dancing on weekends?

    Not until the new orders. They said probably in July 15

    Are there belly dancers Sunday night?

    Dancers are only on Friday and Saturday evenings, unless there is a special occasion, in which case they may be hired for another night.

    Do they use peanuts or peanut oil? I don't see it on the menu but my friend is worried.

    I do not believe so, but it would be best to call and ask them directly. The staff is incredibly helpful!!

    What time do the belly dancers come on on fri and sat nights?

    In my experience usually 6:30ish.

    Can you bring wine, if so is there a corkage fee?

    yes, no cork fee

    I have a group of 10+ will they accommodate us? Do I need to reserve?

    yes, book in advance

    Do you need reservations for large groups?

    yes

    Is there belly dancing on Wednesday's?

    Only of fri and sat nights

    Where should I park?

    They have a dedicated parking lot. Otherwise there is a parking lot at the shopping center across the street.

I loved the grilled lamb shoulder which was tender with a good char and served over the couscous mix with raisins, chickpeas, and almonds it was a great bite! The preserved lemon and mint yogurt were great flavor additions. The beef kefta was good as well and nicely wrapped in the flatbread for an easy handheld bite but didn't have as much flavor as the lamb. We also got a mint tea to drink which was a nice sweet tea but didn't have the herbiness of the mint tea we had in Morocco which was a bit disappointing. Overall great quick meal with a ton of flavor. I wish Moro would open up in SF but we'll have to catch it again the next time we're in Napa!

Beef with salad kinda tasted weird/bad. Unfortunate. However, their shrimp in a falafel was very good. It comes with some greens, 5 shrimps, and some sauce. A solid option for a quick grab-and-go lunch within the food court.

It was warm pita bread with tapenade. The tapenade was an olive oil based dipping sauce. Great flavor that paired well with the pita bread. The pita was warm and soft. The Warm Hummus was an excellent appetizer that followed. It was served with warm pita bread. The hummus was made with paprika, olive oil, and pine nuts.

Great drink to end our meal on a warm Saturday. The Efes Pilsner was good, too. An easy drinking beer that paired well with our meal. Light and refreshing. First time trying Turkish beer. Great experience. Service was great. Our server was very friendly and helpful upon our visit. She offered great advise and made our visit wonderful. Our food arrived in a timely manner. The hostess sat us down right away. Great times dining at this downtown Napa restaurant.
