Casablanca is the sort of place you talk about for months afterward. It's tucked away in south Denver, and the owner is one hell of a character. I came here on a Tuesday night to find that only one other table was being served. He explained quite a lot of the menu while we lounged on a couch that took up an entire wall of the restaurant. The food was tender, spicy, and several standard deviations outside of the Americanized norms of north African restaurants. My date had spent several years in various parts of the Middle East and North Africa and talked about how he hadn't eaten something like that in the years since he left. It is tremendously tasty and hard to replicate. The owner also made the meal an experience! Dishes are explained in detail and eaten with ones (right) hands. Casablanca seeks authenticity away from S. University from the hanging tapestries to the hookahs.

We should have read further into these reviews, the price for two of us was $110! And we didn't get the most expensive items on the menu! The food was okay, but NOT worth the money. Expect to pay at least $40 per person. $5 just for tea. Also, don't expect any spice here, the food is mild to the extreme. Pros: Different expierence Cons: The price!

For those that know me from VH1's The Pickup Artist or from my video blog w w w . ASKJDOG . c o m ..I'm all for wonderful experiences, especially with the the company of the right girl. Last night it was around 9:30pm, and my girl and I were hungry so I did a search on my iPhone Urbanspoon app. We were close to this Moroccan restaurant, and by coincidence had been talking about Moroccan food earlier.. so we thought we would give it a try. From the empty parking lot, and cleared away patio we thought it was already closed.. I tried the door.. it was unlocked.. I pulled it open slowly and peered inside to see a lush tented room, lined with lanterns and pillows.. with lush colours of various shades of red, accented with gold. I grabbed my girl's hand and lead her into.. Morocco :) It really was like escaping to another land. Our host greeted us, and showed us to our table. "Sit be comfortable, take your shoes off and put them under the table" he suggested. A quick word of warning is that the dinner menu is a fixed 4 course meal, so for two with wine it cost about $125 + tip. Was it worth it? Hell yes! The fantastic food, atmosphere, and slightly bizarre, albeit romantic customs of our friendly host made for an amazing experience. It's probably been 10 years since I've had such a fun and romantic time in a restaurant.. everything was perfect, from delicious and exotic food, to being shown how to feed my "princess" with my hands. Take an appetite.. lounge around, and be prepared to go with the flow, and enjoy the mood. Perfect for snuggling up on the pillows together, or having a louder and more lively time with friends. Pros: Great food, great experience, friendly staff, romantic! Cons: A little expensive 4 course set dinner menu.

I can't believe some of these 5 star reviews! I really think the owner and/or employees put those up. I mean, read them..."I wish I was there right now"? Really? C'mon. Notice that most of the high star ratings don't show the pros and cons? Notice the user names are all similar and the reviews are all written in a very simialr way? That's the owner for ya! I went there with 2 friends on a Saturday night and there was nobody in the restaurant! This should be the busiest night, but it wasn't. Once I saw the prices in the menu, I knew why it was so empty. The host was VERY PUSHY! He kept pushing the tea, even when we ordered coffee and said no to tea! He was showing us how to eat with just our hands, which is fine, but he then proceeded to hand feed my friend! She shook her head "No" and he insisted and put the food into her mouth with his fingers! I was just appalled. This isn't very sanitary and is just plain rude! If he would have done that to me, I would have smacked his hand away! The food was the only positive part of the experience. It was tasty, but way overpriced! The cheapest meal was $35! It was a four course meal and I told the owner that I couldn't eat that much food, he replied, "Don't worry, the main course is a small portion". Bullsh#t! The main course was enormous and I literally only took one bite of my lamb before I could explode. If you have a BIG appetite, have a lot of money, and love strange fingers in your mouth, then this is the place for you. Otherwise...don't even bother. Pros: Tasty food Cons: Everything else.

I had gone 8 years ago for lunch and thought it was awesome, so I decided to go again and try again. I have mixed reviews. The food was great, very original, good portions and very tastefull. The decoration is very detail oriented and makes you feel you're somewhere else, which was part of the purpose of going to an ethnic restaurant. So, those 2 things were great. The part I didn't like was that the menu doesn't give you flexibility to get 1 main dish only, or a dish with soup only. You have to get their 4 course dinner (salad, soup, sweet dessert, main dish, plus a flower tea). I did want to eat a lot, but my wife only wanted 1 or 2 things....... but that's not possible. Also, the prices (for dinner) are all from $36 to $45 (prices for lunch were much more cheaper), and it seems like they didn't want to give you a cheaper option other than the 4 course dinner. So, all or nothing............ PD: The owner, who was doing the waiter job, is very helpful and wants to show you the whole experience, but doesn't seem to be very patient when we asked a few questions.......last time it was the same Pros: Taste of food, ambience Cons: Only 4 course dinner..... no option to eat 2 course or just 1 dish,

Going to Casablanca is like stepping into another country and your very own harem., The decor is totally UNamerican and the colours are breathtaking. The ambiance is so out of this world that it allows you to lay or sit back and thoroughly enjoy your partner and the delicious food. My husband and I have had lamp many places but never this tender! Yes they do not serve alcohol, but the tea and the mystique more than makes up for it, as well as any questions you want to ask Seid the proprietor. We have been told some nights they have belly dancing also. We have never been on those nights. We are taking my mother in law this coming week she is 74 and she will get the experience of a life time.

I found Casablanca to be way over priced. The food was fair - not great but not horrible either. But what really upset me were the prices. While I often enjoy hitting local dives for great food and great ambiance, I don't expect to spend $120 for two people when all we had to drink was WATER!! I would give this place a great review if it were priced like a reasonable dive, but I simply felt ripped off!!
