    A trendy place for the Middle Eastern food fiend within you. Totally charismatic, with it's mediterranean decor and moody lighting, characterised with an extremely adventurous menu. If you have a big group coming, it pays to take the tapas (Mezze Platter) option and enjoy dipping your bread, meatballs and veges into a variety of sauces. If you're feeling really hungry, a nice kebab or Grilled Halloumi Cheese all to yourself will satisfy your cravings. If not, even a small plate of Spanish Tomato Bread is particularly filling. If you're looking for a place outside the city, but with a bit of theme and good vibes, Casablanca is for you. Not for the plain food lovers.

    Sticky date pudding!
    Ashmeeta S.

    Been here multiple times now and the food is always amazing. Last night I had the sakuska and my Friend had the falafels - they're small plates (entrees) but very filling. Everything I eat here tastes fresh and is full of flavor. For dessert we had the sticky date pudding and it was the best - highly recommend trying this if you're gonna do dessert. Service has always been great too, friendly service, very attentive and fast. If you're planning on doing an early dinner then walking in should be okay but if you're gonna go a little later I would recommend making a reservation as it gets busy quickly. Avoid getting a table by the door as the constant opening and shutting of the door and foot traffic past your table can get annoying.

    My friend suggest this place for lunch and it was great, especially if you like middle eastern spices. My taste buds really lit up for the flavours of the salads. They have a Kumru burger with Haloumi cheese which was amazing too!

    I was treated today to lunch at a favorite restaurant of mine located in Sylvia park. Cassanova serves Mediterranean meals, and the menu is truly amazing. My boss had a delicious chicken meal which I will have to taste next visit. A collegue enjoyed a huge serving of fish and chips, and the fish looked fresh and tasty, pan fried and not covered in batter. Another colleague loved his Meatball dish while I ate the best calamari of my life. It was the Moat beautifully dressed and spiced salad, and I can't wait to take Friends there. Service was lovely as per usual, and the decor in the place is fun. Cushions cover bench seats and ordinary chairs. There are different types of tables so you can choose to sit next to friends or opposite one another

    Mix it up, try Casablanca! It's quite hard to tell what it is from the exterior, but once inside there's no mistaking you're somewhere in the Mediterranean. I love the food here; it's such an interesting mix of Turkish and Greek that I think Auckland needs more of! The Mezze platter is a firm favourite. The flat bread is always fresh and I'm such a sucker for the variety of dips. If you're a vegetarian this is a brilliant restaurant for you, the Halluomi cheese is delish. It's a great place to go as a group, you can sit around a large table on the brightly cushioned seats and order a feast to share. On the weekends in particular there is a busy, fun ambience

    Apple tea

    I have only been here for breakfast but every time they knock it out of the park. Food is absolutely delicious and the coffee is outstanding. Get the Turkish coffee or apple tea simply to see the cool pots and cups they serve it in. Staff are extremely pleasant and the ambience is also great. Great place for kids too.

    Big portions, well cooked and seasoned, some things not accurate but all in all a good place to eat.

It is like having lunch at your cool aunt's place. Homestyle fabulous! Compared to the other options nearby, this sunny little glass front cafe is a little piece of heaven. The ladies who own it are super friendly, and say hello by name whenever I stop by. They do fabulous catering, and their morning tea is to die for (warm just baked cheese scones.... savory tarts with cumin and kumera... excuse me, I'm drooling...) At lunch time they always have an assortment of interesting and healthy salads -- tons of vegetarian options, and you can mix and match as many as you want in a container. One of my favorite options of late is the spicy eggplant. It's half an eggplant that's been roasted, scooped out, mixed up with spices and whatnot, and put back in the skin. I LOVE eggplant, and this is as good as it gets!!! I always find it hard to resist their beautiful cakes. I tend to buy a slice with the idea of bringing it home to share with my husband for dinner, but sometime around my afternoon tea I end up starting to sample it. I've had the carrot cake, which was delicious, and another lemon cake thingy which was also to die for. Check out their Facebook page where they advertise their salads and other goodies for the day! Worth a trip out if you're trekking around Mangere domain, or on your way back from an airport pickup!

Having spent next to no time in the area, I was stoked to find C&G, and even more stoked when I walked in and saw they use Kokako beans. For brekkie, I ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, which came out with dressed salad of rocket, onion and capers. I usually prefer such accompaniments on my bagel, undressed, but with the generous amount of salmon and C.C already on there I totally forgot about it. Also, they mix fresh herbs through their cream cheese - big tick in my book. Perhaps, what stood for me the most though, was the service. Just little things - like the barista chatting to me while she made my coffee, bringing over water as soon as I sat down or asking how my meal was part way through - sometimes it's just the little things that make all the difference. On a final note, they have terrariums for table numbers!

    The coffee is great and so is the design and atmosphere of the cafe. However we were a bit…read moredisappointed on the food in terms of taste and presentation. The order was very quickly served but it lacked the presentation n taste that I look for in a Saturday brunch. I don't need to rush and would appreciate a lovely presented brunch. The egg benny ordered was bland and do not stand to the usual cafe standard in that price range.

The pastry was tasty and thin and there was heaps of filling in it ratio approx 20% pastry 80% filling. We had the Mince Potato Top pie and the Eds Signature Pork Belly with 5 Spice pie and both were so tasty! Completely different flavour to your standard bakery pies and more expensive but at approx $5 each it is worth it! We also tried the cream donuts which were fresh and divine but really sweet so a good thing they are finger sized. We got a couple of other goodies but too full to try them till later on but this is out new #1 fav bakery that we will definitely be going back to again. Downsides are only small but Pies were a little colder then most but a quick zap in the microwave and they were nice and hot again. Selections are limited but if you are not fussy then there is plenty to try. That's it They have a pie cabinet with a good selection A dessert cabinet with limited but still good selections Sandwich cabinet with limited but still good selections Small cold drinks fridge Didn't try coffee as I couldn't dine in and not sure if they offer takeaway but overall Eds is a hidden gem in Mount Wellington that you have got to try its worth the trip even just for one of their pies.

And in this is Eds coffee and cake , now this place is by no means fancy but it's clean and the staff are friendly . On a day where the weather was less than desirable, my tummy was saying "falafel "but my heart said loudly and firmly "pie "!! So having done a recon of this place the week before I knew exactly where to go to . I had eyed up the 5-spice pork belly previously so went straight for it . Priced at $5.80 it is on the expensive side for a pie and generally at that price you'd hope for it to be life changing ! And it was . With a flaky pastry top and a golden short pastry base , rich spiced gravy and morsels of pork belly it is delicious ! The pork belly in the pie did contain the fat and for me I put that aside as I'm not a huge fan . But after getting halfway thru there were also some small cubes of potato - a nice addition . Would I eat another one ? Yes , judging by the way there was a constant stream of workers stopping for a pie fix . Am I coming back ? Yes and yes !
