WELCOME TO CASABLANCA MOROCCAN KITCHENSThe Amazigh (Berber) cuisine is a traditional cuisine with a varied history and influence of numerous flavours from distinct regions across North Africa. The traditional cuisine draws influences from Morocco's Atlas mountains and heavily populated Berber cities and regions. Moroccan cuisine differs from one area to another within North Africa. For this reason, every dish has a distinct and unique identity according to the specific region it originates from in North Africa, with some dishes estimated to be more than a thousand years old. Zayanes of the region of Khénifra around the Middle Atlas have a cuisine of a remarkable simplicity. It is based primarily on corn, barley, ewe's milk, goat cheese, butter, honey, meat, and game. Popular authentic Moroccan preparations of Tunisian, Moroccan, Algerian, and Libyan cuisine include tajine, couscous, shakshouka, pastilla, msemen, merguez, asida, lablabi, harissa, makroudh, harira, sfenj, and ahriche.

My experience at this place was absolutely incredible! The service was top-notch, and the waitress who took care of us was simply amazing. She was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient. She even checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Her suggestions and recommendations on the menu were spot-on, especially since she seemed to know everything about their offerings. This isn’t my first time here, and I’m already planning to come back again and again. This place is truly amazing!

Restaurant was out of cornbread; however, the chef personally gave us some on the way out from brunch. Wish they offered real maple syrup. Appreciate if butter was not in disposable packaging (to help with environment). Chicken and waffles were good. Yams were a bit sweet; however good recipe and enjoyed them.
