Things to Know

Casablanca Restaurant is a Moroccan and Mediterranean spot in the Wash Park area known for fresh, made-to-order dishes like dolmas, falafel, and lamb shank, with inconsistent service and comfort issues.

The food quality is genuinely excellent when it arrives—reviewers rave about the freshness and flavor—but inconsistent staffing and service can undermine the experience.

  • Fresh, flavorful vegetarian plates with exceptional dolmas and falafel
  • Standout desserts like kanafeh and baklava that aren't overly sweet
  • Well-seasoned meat dishes, particularly the chicken sultani and lamb shank
  • Inconsistent service: water glasses left unfilled, long waits, and inattentive staff
  • Poor air conditioning and a strong smell of old furniture in the dining room
  • Staffing issues causing delays and quality inconsistencies (late cooks, small portion sizes on lunch items)

This was excellent! Just excellent. We shared the vegetarian plate. Everything was fresh and flavorful. These are the best dolmas and falafel we have ever eaten. The parsley was so fresh and the dressing was perfect. Dessert was the Kanafeh - not too sweet and beautiful. I think everything was made to order. The service was friendly. This place is the best kept secret in Denver!

We were welcomed upon walking in but that was pretty much the extent of the service we received. Besides taking our orders and dropping them off, our waters were never filled and it was a hot day with no/low air conditioning in the restaurant. Even when paying, the lady didn’t say a word to us and was busy talking to someone on the phone. The restaurant also has a strong smell of old furniture which really bothered some of the people in our group. The food itself was decent. I enjoyed my Moroccan lamb shank enough and the chicken kabob was decent but one in our group ordered the lunch portion and it was like 3-4 small pieces of chicken. Overall, if you are really craving Mediterranean in the Wash Park area and don’t feel like driving, getting some good to go here may not be a bad idea but service leaves a lot to be desired.

I believe that this could be a good restaurant again with trained employees. First, the cook arrived late. It took quite awhile for my food. A phone customer was able to order and pickup before we were served. The was a problem with the hummus so I was served rice and asked afterwards if it was OK. My friend's lamb was tough. Finally, there was something on the containers which stopped me from finishing my drink or taking the leftovers. My friend was OK with taking them. $56, too much for the whole experience.
