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.
