Casablanca Brookfield

My son was turning 21 on October 10 and asked me to find a nice place for a birthday meal, specifically one that served lamb. I thought of Casablanca in Brookfield, as I had been there once before. I made a reservation for a group of 15 and had a difficult time reaching them to confirm and make changes to the reservation. Eventually, I was told that for a group that size, they would be serving family-style dinner, which was not communicated to me when I made the reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant, the service was terrible from the start. The waitress, despite trying her best, was inexperienced and struggled to accommodate our large group. Several orders of lamb were either undercooked or overcooked, and the manager seemed flustered and mentioned that the cook was new and not used to handling such a large party. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for my son's birthday celebration. We spent a significant amount of money that night, and the food quality and service did not meet our expectations. I highly doubt that we will be returning to this location in the future. The photos below show the medium-well lamb dish that was served to us, which was not cooked properly. I did not take photos of the other dishes, but some were also unsatisfactory. The restaurant did provide us with a credit for two of the dishes and offered a dessert for my son, which was appreciated. However, improvements are definitely needed in terms of food quality and service at this location.

The food was amazing! The hummus was the best I've ever had and the portions were very generous. Although I can't speak to the service or restaurant experience since we ordered delivery, I give five stars for the delicious food.

Stopped here on a Wednesday evening for my first time. It wasn?t crowded, good atmosphere, and the waiter Josh was excellent at his Job. Josh took the time to explain the dishes, answer questions about the restaurant and remained attentive to our table the entire stay. The music was a nice light guitar music, lights dimmed at 6 pm to enhance the dining experience. We ordered beef Shish kabob and beef shawarma. Beef was cooked exactly as ordered. The food had a light Middle Eastern Mediterranean flavor. Also, had spinach artichoke dip as appetizer. It was excellent! Bread was hot and plenty of spinach artichoke dip until the end. Oh, a cup of soup comes with the meal, don?t pass up the tomato basil. It may be the best tomato basil soup I ever had. There is a full bar that I didn?t have time to go to, and I am told the buffet is open 11am to 3. The next chance I am around for lunch I will give it a try

It's a decent tasting Mediterranean restaurant. It's a bit expensive for the experience. I thought their combo with choice of two is the most cost effective entree. We ordered combination of lamb kifta, chicken kabob and beef shawarma. All of them tasted above average. Only lamb and chicken can be found halal here. I read a lot about their basmati rice. But I found it very dry and undercooked. Their lentil soup is okay. As a South Asian its daal for me which I ended up eating with the rice and then it tasted good! I'm happy with the portion size. Our waiter was nice and the wait time wasn't too bad.

I went to this restaurant on a Monday night. The food was good, so I gave it two stars. However, the service was terrible. Initially, the hostess seated us at a large table, despite there being high tables that would have been more suitable for two people. Our server seemed inexperienced or disinterested. They forgot to bring us pita bread for our appetizers and blamed the kitchen. They also forgot our bottle of wine, which took 20 minutes to locate. When they finally brought it, they blamed the bartender for not opening it and did not provide a bottle opener. The bartender had to open it for us. After disappearing for 15-20 minutes, they returned to present the bill. They did not include the 50% discount on the wine that was advertised, so I had to ask them to correct it. Additionally, they added an 18% gratuity for only two people, which I found unacceptable. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the waiter apologized and mentioned they do not usually work on Mondays, as if that justified the poor service. I wanted to like this place, but I will not be returning.
