This place was pretty fancy for lunch, but of course it's all about the location, location, location. It's a very intimate and provides its guest with enough room to have a private conversation. We started out with the Spanish tortilla omelette. Which was perfectly cooked. The Omelette had a lot of flavors and is best enjoyed hot. We also go the crispy suckling pig, which was huge. It's hard to share this with two people, might be best to share it with 3 or 4 people. Now comes the dish of the century, yes i said century! The Hokkaido Sea Urchin tagliolini. This dish was out of this world! It wasn't too heavy and had to perfect amount of sauce and uni to make it such an addicting dish. We ended up getting two of this because we regretted sharing the dish. Most uni dishes I've had in the states were either too heavy or were too bland, but this was just truly amazing! If only I can grab it to-go and bring it with me on my flight back. For dessert they had the caramelized apple tarte tatin. It was a little on the sweet side, so we weren't able to finish it. But adding the vanilla ice cream made it better. Overall,I would return to this place, but next time, i'm going to order at least three plates of the Hokkiado Sea Urchin Tagliolini, or MORE!

One of the more pleasant surprises along Ashley road, Casablanca provides Hong Kongers with quality…read moreMoroccan fare without the pretension. Many establishments in this part of TST are catered to the non-Asian experience, so much so that they're often pushing out watered down versions for a stake in the tourist money pot. Casablanca somehow holds its own with great execution of a cuisine and I'm thankful to have found it. The ambiance as I've experienced it, is intimate and dark, which almost immediately feels like a date spot. The white table cloths are classy, but the decor really shines with the various homages to the motherland. Those light fixtures, lamp shades, and even wall decor is pretty awesome and very much lends itself to the authenticity of the place. It certainly makes me feel like I'm no longer in Kowloon. Included in the menu are pictures for each item, along with the plastic covers for every page (is that a thing for ethnic businesses in Kowloon?). Moroccan cuisine is known for its hybrid mixes of various culinary disciplines from various international influences, the menu is certainly no different; there is enough variety in here to keep even the pickiest eater happy. From Italian specialties (pizza, pasta) to Malaysian classics, it almost has a Cheesecake Factory (chain in the states) feel to it. Thankfully, the handful of dishes I've sampled, I've enjoyed very much. People who know Moroccan fare know couscous and they've got plenty of it. My first foray into Casablanca was via their Couscous Vegetables with Chicken ($148), which was very tasty. The couscous had a particularly addicting flavor to it, but whatever stock it was in (vegetable perhaps?) made me want more of it. The chicken was stewed to perfection, with plenty of fall off the bone meat. I also have high praises for the Sweet Couscous ($129), which is loaded with chickpeas, raisins, cinnamon, and sweet onions. It would be an automatic hit with any vegetarian palates in the house. Don't forget to order some Moroccan Mint Tea, it surely is an experience for first timers! Their Lamb Tagine ($188) is accented with the additions of prunes and sesame, while the Tagine Kefta ($168) reminds me of the stewy grub that would cure (read: kill) any serious hangover. I would also vouch for their grilled dishes, namely the Minced Beef Kofta ($188) and their Roasted Lamb over Mashed Potato ($288). The Hummus ($48) and Falafel ($68) were also hits. I wish we had more rice / Moraccan Bread ($38) to soak up the juices for every individual dish, instead of having to order them separately. To any group who decides to do the Roast Lamb Leg for $1888, I salute you. It probably goes without saying, but the food is obviously quite expensive. One could consider this a major con given the non-food variables, but any sub $120-$300 plate would essentially be a special occasion dinner by most local standards here. To couple that, service could pick up the pace (read: incredibly slow) but I like to think of this as a nice departure from the rushed society of living in HK.

I was shown kindness at this restaurant in the heart of the ritzy, glitzy Canton Street area…read more Without much hope, I was trying to Yelp something cheapish that wasn't Cantonese, because after a day of dim sum I needed something different. I had already decided to give this place a try, because I find Moroccan food really healthy and refreshing, when a lady on the corner holding a sheaf of fliers handed me one... and it was for Casablanca! This kind of thing usually makes me less likely to want to dine somewhere, not more, but she had this unique non-pushiness about her, and a kind air. She offered to escort me to the restaurant, which I entreated her to please not do, because I am so fickle and apt to change my mind at the sight of a menu. When I arrived and was seated and given a menu, I was disappointed to see that the prices were much higher than I would have guessed based on the flier. I apologized to the man who had seated me and mentioned, because he asked, that it was just more than I was intending to spend for dinner. He gave me a beat, then appeared around the corner as I was waiting for the elevator and said that if I wanted, I could order off the lunch specials menu, which was half the price, even though it was 6:30pm. I did, gratefully, ordering the fish tagine with a starter of some sort of bean or lentil soup. When it came out, it was gigantic, the fish flopping over the edges of the bowl, and hot, the red sauce forming blisters at the edges. The fish itself was fall-apart tender, nothing excessively flavorful, which was fine since the sauce was. It had the kind of sharp smell that hits you right in the top of the nostrils, and tasted much more spice stuffed than it looked. And the rice, a little coconutty, I think, refreshed it. Was this meal something I'll remember fondly for more than a few weeks? No, at least not for the food, which was satisfying but ultimately not memorable. But I will remember the kindness of the people there. On my way out, I ran into the lady who had handed me the flier on the street. She grabbed my hands in excitement, all her rings creating brief cool spots on my fingers. "It was good, right?"

Service is 10% automatically deducted but they worked effectively and were very great at anticipating the needs of the customer.

With that in mind, I give this place four stars for the taste of the food. Lamb Chops with Rice - Fragrant and tender Iskender Kebab with Bread - A huge portion- perhaps a little bit more than what a normal person can finish! The meat is interesting and nothing like I've had before but it was enjoyable. Turkish Apple Tea - Good Hot Mango Tea - Tastes exactly like unset - hot jelly mixture. Do not waste money on this one! Severely understaffed with just one waitress for around 10 tables, perhaps more. Other workers (they look like the owners family or of the same ethnicity) were just sitting around and waiting for this one busy lady to manage the restaurant. It makes them look like terrible employers that force their staff to the brink of falling over and I hope this changes soon.

I found myself in here after a friend suggested we grab dinner. It's been years since I had Egyptian food, so I thought why not. It would be nice to reminisce of the wonderful Egyptian restaurants in town of my childhood. I'm pleased to say that this place delivered on that in addition to blowing my mind from how great all of it was. I shared a Hallomi (grilled goat cheese [not a sandwich]), the zabadi (a cucumber yogurt dip similar to Tzatziki, but noticeably thicker), the mixed grill and an Okra Tagine, with a Kounafa to top it off. For those who fear the goat ones of goat cheese, dear not for the hallomi is very mild, yet fragrant in its own way. It's very creamy, yet chewy, and for a few bites, we could've sworn it was mozzarella until we started paying more attention to the bouquet of fragrances, and the characteristically dry-ish texture of goat cheese. The zabadi was a very rich dip, which while typically served with pita bread oddly enough also went fantastically with the tagine and the mixed grill. The mixed grill was also very good, it comes with a rice that does go really nicely with their tender lamb kofta, though frankly, I think the rest of the dish goes better with their side salad. Maybe it's because the kofta is so rich. Being a massive fan of okra, I badgered my friend into ordering the okra tagine. Since he's a bit of a die hard meat eater, we eventually settled for the beef and okra tagine, though I ultimately won anyway, seeing as most of it was okra. The tagine was served with couscous, which worked out very nicely since they also had a very rich and somewhat meaty and beautifully seasoned sauce. The kounafa was an order that stemmed more from curiosity than anything, and while it was pretty good, I'm still not too sure what to think of it. It's crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It's sweet and clearly not lacking in complexity, but I might not order it again. This place is usually busy, and now I know why. So long as I'm in Hong Kong, I'll most likely visit again, theres so many other potentially delicious dishes for me to check out!
