So, no, Casablanca near Passyunk Avenue is not brought to you by the people behind Marrakesh. There are similar, obsession-worthy tasting menus, the same warm, dinner party-like atmosphere, and they both look like they were designed by someone who went to interior design school in North Africa. But only at Casablanca can you go for their eight-course, $45 tasting menu featuring a vegetable salad, spicy chicken, and sweet baklava, and throw in extras like creamy hummus and chicken shawarma over rice. And there’s a set vegan menu option as well. The range gives the Mediterranean restaurant the versatility to work for a lunch with friends or an exciting date where you’ll share a couple of drinks (there’s a full bar) and want to order everything in sight. Plus, the marketplace area means you can take unique spices to go.
