    Fufu
    Arin A.

    The egusi and fufu were inedible. Ordered through ubereats. When you try to call their number they don't pick up. I had to throw this in the trash.

    Beef Pastel If you're a sauce girlie like me you're gonna be in heaven
    Amanda B.

    Wow ok so I've never had African food really so I decided to stop and try something small. I asked for the Beef Pastel but they only had tuna or veggies. The cook offered to make me fresh ones and I cannot tell you how bomb this is. Meat inside is juicy and the fried outside was crispy. Now this was hot off the press so yours may not be this good but maybe try to ask for them fresh? Didn't try anything else.

    Great food and big portions. Came with my Nigerian friend and he approved. Would recommend if you are looking for authentic West African food!

    jollof rice and chicken
    Edith H.

    The guy who prepared the food was very friendly and we had some freshly fried plantains. It came with a small side of spicy sauce. So yummy! Then I tried the jollof rice and chicken. It was all incredibly, intensely flavorful. This isn't bland stuff! The sauce had a nice low-level heat that kept your belly warm while eating. I want to have a bottle of this sauce at home and put it on everything! I have never tried West African dishes before so I have no set idea of what it's supposed to taste like. But I did like everything I ate. Portions are decent but priced a little high. However, most places are getting pricey due to inflation so you can only do so much about it.

    I came down from Ghana moved to melrose feels like homey vibes good people really good fresh free plantains that Slatt hooked us up with

    Just came back from Ghana and this is just as good tbh homie Slatt hooked up w the free plantains good people love love yeah out

    Extremely disappointed in this resturant. As a fellow African/ Ghanaian, I was extremely excited to see an african resturant near me. I ordered the jallof rice with chicken. The food came out within 5mins( big red flag). The rice tasted nothing like jallof rice. Instead tasted like traders joes version from a few years back. The price of the meal was expensive, and didn't match the price. Usually I try to promote african food/ restaurants, but was extremely disappointed with the food here. Would not recommend eating from this place.

    Authentic West African food!! The sauce and plantains were stand out! I thought the chicken was great, the rice was not stand out but overall definitely worth checking out if you want healthy, west African food!

    I had been wanting to try African food for months due to a certain tik tok trend... the fufu with eggusi was my main target. The area it's located at is a bit lonely and the restaurant was small but they do have a foldable table placed outside and that's where we sat(boyfriend and I). I have to admit.. the taste of the fufu with eggusi was not what I was expecting. It tasted very bland to me. Not sure if I ate it wrong or if it was authentic African food made by a Latino cook. Not sure but I was sorely disappointed with that flavor. I asked my boyfriend to switch with me as he got the Java rice meal and THAT was so delicious. Seasoned perfectly and the rice texture was fire. I also tried the pineapple ginger soda and it was great! Not sure if I'll be coming back here but I enjoyed the experience.

    Don't waste your money. Food was dry and bland. Fish was unseasoned. Hot sauce is tomato paste. Rice is old and dry.

Overall, the food is decent, and the restaurant has always appeared clean when I've visited. However, they are on the expensive side, and the quality and consistency do not always match what they charge. The efo riro is probably the strongest dish I've tried and the main thing I would order again, although it could still use a little more seasoning. The moi moi is also good. I would skip the amala until they improve the preparation. Proper amala should be smooth, but the one I received was extremely lumpy, with small clumps throughout. It tasted like it had been prepared by someone who had not yet mastered the technique. I also tried the ila alasepo, and I would not order it again. It was visually very unappetizing, with a consistency that looked completely wrong for the dish. More importantly, the okra did not draw at all. That is a basic requirement of properly prepared ila alasepo, and if the okra does not draw, it should not be served. I received three pieces of goat meat, and two were bony rib pieces with hardly any meat. At $35, serving mostly bones is unacceptable. It might pass with customers who are unfamiliar with how ila alasepo should look and taste, but anyone who knows the dish will immediately recognize that the execution was a complete failure. My first meat pie was good, but later orders were disappointing. The crust lacked the buttery richness and tenderness a good meat pie should have, the seasoning in the filling tasted off, and the filling needed better binding. The ayamase was excessively oily, while the red stew tasted almost raw and underdeveloped. The meat tasted as though it had been cooked separately and added afterward, rather than being properly braised in the sauce so it could absorb the flavor. The food is not bad across the board, but much of it is bland-adjacent, and the execution is inconsistent. Their prices are their prices, but at that price point, the food should be flavorful, refined, and consistently well prepared. They get a few things right, particularly the efo riro and moi moi, but the overall quality needs to catch up with the cost. They can do better.

With everything going on in the mess up country we living in right now I loved it! Now, the good and bad stuff! The good: the wait staff were attentive and quick.

If you want an exquisite experience, please consider booking a special event in the private dining room.

This restaurant is a quaint establishment which to be completely honest, made me feel like I transported back to all the wonderful times I spent in Morocco. The ambiance was very familiar to me, from the decor, to the glassware used, everything felt very authentic. My friend and I started with some bread and three wonderful salads. Next, was the seafood and chicken pastillas, both equally delicious. Afterwards, was our main course, the honey almond lamb. One of the best lamb dishes I've ever had in my entire life! Although we were full after the lamb, I insisted on getting dessert and tea to finish our meal, and I'm so glad I did. The cookies were superb and paired perfectly with the Moroccan tea. The owner was kind and made my friend and I feel at home in her restaurant. She often checked on us, making sure we were satisfied, while at the same time being personable. We enjoyed the stories she shared, which elevated our dining experience. Thank you Casablanca Moroccan Kitchens for a wonderful meal today!

We felt like we were invited into their home and transported to Morocco. Speaking of, I love the cute, charming, Moroccan decor and design across every inch of the restaurant. The owners clearly wanted to bring a big piece of Morocco to LA, and they nailed it. Okay, the food. Super tasty. Especially the honey lamb tagine. That was, without a doubt, the best dish. Such a satisfying tender, flavorful, sweet, and savory balance. This is a must order. We got a few things, and everything was delicious. But I think I preferred the tagine dishes over the cous cous dishes. So if you're deciding between two, I'd go with a tagine, there's so much flavor in those dishes! That said, everything is great here. And the service is as exceptional as it gets. Definitely put Casablanca on your list.
