If I could give this place more stars, I would. Great gyros, and their cheesy garlic fries hit the spot. 10/10 service from Don. Give that man a raise . read more

Very hot when I walked in, not sure why but it was not pleasant especially on a hot day. Food took a while to came out even though we were the only people there. Ordered French taco, chicken gyro and garlic fries. The French taco with beef was good, very flavor and enjoyed the different textures with the fries inside. The wrap was also nice and crispy. The flavor of the chicken gyro wasn't what I expected, but didn't taste bad. Garlic fries, can't go wrong read more

Needed a quick lunch while attending a talk and stopped by this place for pickup. The space has plenty of indoor seating if you want to dine in. I ordered the Zaalouk (eggplant, tomato and parsley) app and it came in a generous portion. It tasted like home cooking and I was satisfied to be able to savor a great meal while on the go. Staff were kind and efficient. I'd be back if I visit again. read more

the french taco wasnt giving but I liked the portions of everything. I should have gotten the sauce maybe

Very solid falafel sandwich. Ingredients seemed quite fresh and the sauce was tasty. The server was friendly and helpful with our questions. It's a small place with bright colors and little tables to eat at. Very much fast casual for a quiet lunch or late night snack. read more

For a place that seems like it should just be a run of the mill shawarma place that drunken revelers in the Pike and Pine section of Cap Hill go to sober up when the bars close, the food at Casablanca Express is shockingly good! Specializing in Moroccan dishes, they do have your other staple, Mediterranean/middle eastern staples (hummus, shawarma, Falafel etc). My usual go-to items: Bakkoula: I love this realtively healthy side dish of steamed spinach with lemon and spices. Nice sour contrast to all the heavier main meal options. Lamb broth: holy crap this is good! Lots of cinnamon and other savory warm spices and chickpeas. It's a smallish serving, but it Comes with a bit of pita bread. It's so good when it is cold outside! Lamb shank: fall off the bone tender! Also comes with Lamb broth on the side with some hummus and small side salad. For $18 it's actually quite a lot of food. Harissa chicken: 1/4 bone in chicken covered in harissa spices. Perfectly cooked, succulent. It looks like it might be very spicy, but it it's not. lots of great flavor! Given its location, it really gives off a more fast food vibe so it's not a sit down experience. most of the traffic in and out of there is to go orders. When you are there later at night, expect it to be packed with the bar/club crowds, so I tend to go before the night time rush when it is virtually empty. I also appreciate their spotless bathroom, which you can only access if the shopkeeper buzzes you in. Quick, convenient, and delicious place to hit when you are in the Pike and Pine corridor. read more

Both the lamb plate and chapchouka were bland. However the hummus was soo delicious. I had to add salt and pepper to the lamb plate. Had I known it was gonna be this bland, I wouldn't have driven to get food there. I would just order a hummus dish next time. Prolly the best hummus I've had. read more

I had a lot of food cravings during the night and decided to walk around Capitol Hill before I landed on Casablanca Express. It has been a while since I had eaten Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern food, so the thought of being able to eat it again had me excited. This place is considered "Fast-Casual", ordering and picking up your food at the counter. The inside is a little outdated, but you're not here for a special dine-in experience after all. I ordered their Gyro Plate that comes with the typical gyro meat, basmati rice, a small salad, and a side of hummus and pita bread. The presentation of this dish I found interesting. Most of the food was on top of a paper plate, but then it was also on top of a nice slab of wood that kind of gave it an extra charm. When it came to eating the gyro plate however, it was kind of lack-luster in a lot of ways. The meat was okay but it tasted like it had been sitting out and reheated. I also didn't think there was enough sauce spread out on the food compared to other places that are more generous. Bread and hummus was fine and the salad was okay too. I didn't bother finishing the rice though, it was very bland. If you're just trying to find a place open late at night, this isn't a bad option. However, if you are trying to find some good Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern food, then there are surely a lot of better options in the city. read more

I tried the garlic fries with my friends after a night out clubbing nearby, and they were absolutely amazing! These fries are a must-try--packed with bold garlic flavor and incredibly satisfying. They're a great deal, too! Perfect late-night comfort food. read more

Perfect late night snack while we sleep on the floor after an amazing rock gig. Thank you, Seattle

The veggie kofta plate was very well spiced, especially the impossible meat. The portion size is pretty large, especially for the price point of the item. I personally recommend getting a couple of pita wraps as well. read more

I arrived in Seattle late and was starving. This place had 4 stars and was offering Gyros and Fries so I assumed you can't go wrong with that! To my knowledge you CAN mess up a Gyro. Not sure what seasoning or herb they had in the chicken Gyro but it was so potent and strong it overpowered the taste of the Gyro. I didn't even finish half of it. The loaded fries were tasty as I finished those completely since the Gyro was no good. If you see this place on Door Dash or Uber Eats, try them out for yourself but be cautious of the Gyros. I've never had a bad Gyro until I had this one! read more

First visit, quite impressed! This might just be currently the best late night into early morning hr's more casual style, non fast food, real deal offering in the entire Seattle area! Tried two platters: Charmoula chicken plate and the Lam shank roast both where delicious. Customer service was friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and looking forward to next time. New favorite late night into early morning eatery! -St.Rick "Line out the door" and "Car trunk take out" Hobby Pro PS. Bonus: 38 Reviews is nothing for such a real deal, superstars of Seattle late night place, lets all get Casablanca Express some more honest and fair reviews! read more

We landed after midnight in Seattle and were hungry. Found this halal place near our hotel. We ordered Chicken shawarma plate and gyro plate. Both the chicken and gyro tasted great. I personally like the gyro more. Hummus was just bleh. The serving size was decent. It did take long for them to prepare the food though which was a bit annoying as the rest of the group was waiting in the car and the area around didn't look very welcoming or safe. read more

Yep, pretty fire. The lamb plate was pretty delicious. The beef wrap is also tasty Nice. read more

Delicious!! And super friendly staff. I came in for a side of chicken to have a little snack. It was so juicy and cooked perfect! The side sauce was bomb. I'll definitely be back to try more! And the staff were both very friendly, 10/10 recommend read more

Best spot for Mediterranean/Middle Eastern style food in Cap Hill. Everything is freshly made, folks are super friendly for service. And the food is DELICIOUS! So much flavor, fairly priced for Cap Hill. Support a small business and eat here. By FAR, way better than other local spots with similar style food in the area (I won't name names). read more

The Seattle hot dog is one of the best hot dogs I've had in my life. We had the Moroccan pastries today and they were such a great texture and almond flavor. Service was great they gave us an extra pastry ! read more

The lamb shank plate (with garlic sauce on the side) is just incredible, enough said. Great staff and service too.

Hands down, this is the best Moroccon/Mediterranean food I had in seattle. If you are looking for a juicy, worth the price meal, this is the place to go. I got Lamb shank roast and my friend got Chicken kebab plate. Both were really amazing. Even the salad and hummus was out of the world. The presentation was nice too. Though the staff was not good at english, he got our order right. The ambience for sure is not that fancy, but you will forget about it with the food that you will get here. must try: Lamb shank roast (You wont regret) :) read more

Wow! Words can't quite describe the wonderful flavors the shawarma and the garlic fries have but I'll try to do my best. The chicken is marinated to perfection. The garlic sauce compliments the pickles, tomatoes and as an added bonus ask for some fries to be added inside your shawarma(you'll thank me later). The garlic fries are a dream : loaded with feta cheese and garlic sauce with an added bonus of Moroccan spices. Do yourself a favor and stop by and try it for yourself! read more

Not the best but not the worst. I ordered beef shawarma wrap $11.49 and chicken kabab sandwich $11.99. Both looked identical and they were wrapped in a GREEN tortilla, which surprised me because on the menu it says "wrapped in pita". The only difference was the meat but everything else was the same. Each sandwich/wrap came with two sauces. Both were yummy and added more flavor to the food. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would I'm from Seattle and this has taken the spot for #1 WORST place I've been to and an absolute rip off We arrived at 12am and had a group of 4 at our table. The cashier brings our food but not enough forks. One person asks him for a fork and he asks us to wait. There is only one other customer that he is helping. Meanwhile, I am the only one sitting there with no utensils (or food) before I get up planning to get it myself. He finally gives me a fork and I thank him for giving it to me when our food is almost done. Because they are a new business I gave them a 30% tip... which I highly regretted after I was served my food. I feel as if the cook did it intentionally but I ordered the chicken kebab sandwich and there was barely any chicken in it. It also took a while to arrive. It costs 11.99 and I paid $17 for this absolute garbage. The first three bites were nothing but lettuce! Same with the end of it. Is this a McDonald's wrap??? Cause that costs $4 which is what this piece of tortilla was worth. I was very upset after this, because we had been planning to go to dicks but I said I was down to try this place and felt absolutely ripped off. I hope they go out of business. Look at my pics if you don't believe me. read more

I got a Charmoula plate which was a huge serving (that I felt matched the price). I was satisfied with the flavor. I think this place has a solid menu that would make me come back next time. However, I dont think this is a good "grab and go" place since my order took longer for a weekday work lunch. The place gets cold since the air draft fills the room so Id take your order to go. The seating inside is good for parties of 2-3, nothing bigger. Again, i think they have one person working on slow days so just be patient I guess. read more

Great place to go to for a late night bite. Not very busy, but it does take a while for the food to come since they don't have much staff working in the back. No dedicated parking, you have to find street parking. read more

I had the Charmoula chicken plate. Quite good and, for Seattle, a lot of food for the price. I ordered in advance for pickup and was ready when they said it would be. Polite counter staff. I did not eat in but decor looked pretty basic. Will be back. read more

ordered the falafel plate and garlic fries. fries were cool, no complaints really. the falafel plate though... no. the falafels are mushy and kind of burnt on the outside instead of firm and crispy. the salad was a bit different, it's missing something, as well as the humus. the rice was perfect, especially with the cinnamon stick added. ot read more

The food is fantastic, hands down. However. A while after they opened for business, the entire shop started to stink of disinfectant that it's almost unbelievable. How could anyone even taste their food while sitting in there with an overpowering smell of Windex or similar chemical agent smell hanging in the air. Sorry, lots of chefs and restaurant owners would agree with me here. read more

Really terrible customer service. While the woman working the cash register was very nice, she and everyone else in the place gets jerked around by the owner or cook. If you're there, you'll spot him. Cocky guy acting like he runs the place and everyone in it. Don't be fooled if he acts and responds like he's listening -- he's not. My order was very simple: NOT a gyro plate. Just gyro, hummus, and rice. I told this to the gal at the register. The cocky guy butted in saying, 'just ring it up as a gyro plate - I got you.' Over 30 (that's right THIRTY) minutes later they called our number, we picked up the food, and discovered a ton of white sauce on the food and little to no hummus. Obviously we brought our order to the counter saying we didn't get what we ordered. They said all we were doing was complaining (yes - that's correct because they didn't prepare our food as ordered). We asked them to remake our order and the a-hole guy said no and reached into the register, pulled out $15 in cash, and slammed it on the counter in front of us. For reference, we payed nearly $20. Who doesn't love losing money on a meal they can't eat, waiting half an hour for it, and then getting treated like poo on top of it all? BYE. read more

Got the lamb shank again last night and wanted to update my review. It was better than last time, more tender, fat was trimmed a bit more and what fat was on the leg melted right into the rice and salad. Portion size is still a bit small relative to the price but that was a quality cut of meat I got and the sides as well hit the spot. read more

Quick, convenient, always serves fresh food. Love this spot for both lunch, dinner, or a late night.

The chicken was unbelievably fall off the bone with amazingly complex flavors across every plate component. From bay leaves to cinnamon sticks, the care of nailing Moroccan flavors was clear. Desserts were A1 as well and my only critique was slightly overbaked bread. Definitely a new bright spot in Cap Hill cuisine! read more
