    Lamb shank w/ half rice, half couscous
    Bethany W.

    I love the location of this place! It's in the middle of the Byward Market, the restaurant is open to the street and you can eat and people-watch! (Don't mind the strong smell of weed and cars that zoom past every once in a while haha....). Overall, the food did not disappoint and the portions were huge! The lamb shank was really good with the veggies and rice & couscous on the side. It was a great meal. My only complaint is that some parts of the lamb shank were a little hard/tough. But closer to the bone it was tender! We also got the mint tea which paired perfectly with all the food! This place is definitely worth stopping at if you are looking for a meal in the area!

    Lamb and rice with veggies
    Emilie D.

    Very good food portion for 20-25$. Warm affordable and tasty. Staff is friendly they have cute little table. I had the lamb, the chicken (forgot to take a picture). Both very good I like the spice on the chicken a lot. Everything tasted fresh and authentic.

    I visited Ottawa, Ontario on business recently from the U.S. and on one of the evenings, I was hungry for something different, but didn't know where to go. I YELPed the area, as I alway do, and I discovered this little gem. I decided to try it out. I was so glad I did! if you're visiting Ottawa, or live here, this little place is a must. La Casablanca is a jewel tucked into the Byward Market. Great laidback atmosphere and amazing Moroccan food. I had the lamb shanks, rice, and mix vegetables. It was very good! I definitely recommend this place. I'll be back!!

    Couscous with mixed vegetables and chickpeas. Very good
    Salim P.

    Daughter picked up something from the bakery nearby and Mrs was happy with a bagel, I wanted something savoury and heavy for brunch as we were going to be in the road. This joint peaked my interest and ordered a simple Couscous with Vegetables. The owner very helpful and told me which items had meat and dairy. For about $10+ including taxes got a takeaway container with couscous that was cooked to perfection with little salt and no fat that I could detect. The chunky vegetables were piled on the couscous such as carrots, sweet potatoes, cabbage, chickpeas and onions (lots). All cooked perhaps only in their respective juices and salt some spices that I could hardly taste (very mild). They also poured spoons of liquid from the onions and vegetables pan which made the couscous moist and more tasty. Even though generally I prefer spicy foods, because this was simple it worked! And it was so light after I polished of the entire container. A good source of vitamins, protein and fibre. Would definitely go back.

    Roasted eggplant and lamb, with roasted root vegetables and crisp broccoli on a bed of couscous.

    Super rich flavours, just the right amount of heat. I ordered the roasted eggplant platter. It came with your choice spiced rice. It looked infused with turmeric or saffron; not quite sure because I had the couscous. While ordering I saw a gal having the lamb. So I ordered a side piece of lamb of roasted lamb. The eggplant was slow roasted, savoury. It came with an assortment of roasted root vegetables: carrot, potato,squash and leafy greens. There was broccoli as well, and it was crisp. Delicious. The lamb was fall off the bone delicious. I grew up with North African cuisine and though there's a difference in the spices it was great. You like Moroccan, you'll be very satisfied here. And it was a super good deal. Very good value for the money. Very reasonably priced. So what are you waiting for?!! Y'allah! Y'allah!

    Tasty, healthy meals made with love. I like the mint tea here as well. I have tried few items and they are all very tasty.

    This is inside the beautiful and wonderful Byward Market. It's at the heart of downtown Ottawa. Wonderful staff and wonderful customer service. Nice selection of items. Not too expensive. However, the beef shank is about $16 after tax.

    Leg of lamb
    Robert L.

    Excellent place for something different. Leg of lamb and the sole was excellent. It's a market place so do not expect 5 star settings. But service was nice.

    Great quality food served in a fast food format, so you are getting an amazing deal. Everything is also fresh and made right in front of you.

    Moul Hanout - Mixed sandwich

    Hidden gem alert! Looking for Moroccan food? Try Moul Hanout!…read more TLDR: Had the mixed (chicken and beef) sandwich, it was awesome. Welcoming and pleasant staff. I popped in to grab a sandwich and got the Mixed Sandwich ($9.95). I thought it would be chicken and beef mixed together, the way the mix it together when you get a mixed shawarma, but it was actually half a beef sandwich and half a chicken sandwich, just not cut in half, lol. See my pictures. Each half had different sauces and different toppings. I wished other stores would do this. So you can try more varieties ;) The beef was ground beef kabobs and the chicken was chicken breast cubes. The chicken side had green olives and cheese. The beef side had lettuce. They both had different sauces. I can't tell you what sauces but they were delicious. The entire sandwich was tasty and very filling. I loved it. I liked the chicken slightly better, because I like leaner meats. The sandwich is toasted, so the bread was nice and crunchy on the outside. I was served my the owner, Fatiya (sorry if I'm spelling the name wrong). She was very sweet and made me feel very welcomed. She told me their store has been open for 9 months (so they opened around January 2023). She said they serve authentic Moroccan food. They do not modify it in attempts to appeal to a greater audience. I like this attitude. Be true to thineself. She said she feels that people are more willing to try new cuisines these days. I am hopeful that she is right. She offered me a sample of their soup, which she said was called Harira. It was delicious. It had a tomato base, lentils, chickpeas, rice and noodles, among other ingredients, but those were the ones I made out. It was bursting with flavour. She said it's popular during Ramadan because it keeps you feeling full. She also gave me a moroccan tea for me to try. It was fantastic. Minty and refreshing. There were lots of loose tea leaves though, so I had to be careful not to swallow them, lol. If I made this at home myself, I think I would strain it. The store sells tangines as well as Moroccan groceries. They had soap imported from Morocco too. They had snacks, sauces and spices, and lots more. There are some seats and tables if you want to eat in. What a great find! So happy to have had some authentic Moroccan food. They are located in a mini strip mall with pot (cannabis, not cooking vessels) shops on both sides, lol. Strategic placement? Perhaps. Serving sandwiches to people who have the munchies ;) Limited amount of free parking in front of the stores.

    Great food and customer services was above and beyond…read more Moroccan ambiance, family friendly and they have some divers Moroccan goodies as well. I'll definitely go there again, recommended

    So my brother treated my parents and I to a big Centrale Bergham lunch feast, lol. I've had food at…read moreCentrale Bergham many times, but never at this location in Orleans. I have to say that this location is actually the best one I've had food from to date! The bread was fresh and they were generous with the fillings. So my brother ordered through UberEats and they were having a buy 1 get 1 free deal on 2 different combos. The New Yorker Combo (Pastrami sandwich, fries and a canned drink) for 11.99 and the Berghies Chika Combo (Curry chicken sandwich, fries and a canned drink) for $11.49. So each combo ended up being just $5.75-$6.00. The free one had to be identical to the one you bought. So we got 6 combos in total 2 New Yorker Combos (he paid $1 extra to upgrade the fries to onion rings) and 4 Berghies Chika Combos. He also got a Cappuccino Tiramisu ($4.99) for my mom. I got to eat half of both types of sandwiches and sample both the fries and the onion rings. It was my first time trying the New Yorker sandwich, the Berghies Chika sandwich, as well as the onion rings. I loved everything. So the New Yorker sandwich was my favourite. It was loaded with pastrami that appeared to be fried up, as it was a bit crispy and not slimy like deli meat sometimes is. It also had Swiss cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced onions in it, and Brazil sauce. The bread was fresh (unlike the location on Donald St). It was really good. I liked the Berghies Chika sandwich too, but found it too wet and saucy. It was cubes of real chicken breast mixed in a curry mayo sauce, with cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and diced onions. It was tasty, but messy. The onion rings were so crispy. They are breaded instead of battered. They were excellent. The fries I've had many times before. They are shoestring, which are my favourite. Love the fries! For the dipping sauces for the fries, we got the Miami (which is their newest sauce, it's a bit sweet and I loved it), Algerian (their most famous sauce, they sell it by the bottle), Samurai, and Moroccan. They were all tasty and unique. Apparently the American is just ketchup and mayo, so I never get that one, and the Biggie is like McDonald's Big Mac sauce, which I personally find gross, lol, so needless to say, I never get that one either. I had a bit of the Tiramisu (which is imported from France by the way). It was good, but mostly cream with very little cake. I wasn't a huge fan, especially for the price tag. I've always been a fan of Centrale Bergham, ever since I had it for the first time in Montreal. The Bank Street location in Ottawa is good too, but this location in Orleans is my favourite so far in terms of taste. I have never been to the actual Orleans location, and I don't even think I've ever driven by it, so can't comment on the physical location (sorry). However, the food is great :)

    If I could score it a zero I would. Terrible and rude service. The wait time was astounding with…read morezero apologies. When we did get our food, one wraps was lukewarm at best as were the fries. The second wrap was very warm and actually tasty compared to the rest of the food. I would never go back.
