The Casbah Restaurant - Calgary

Great for photos. Would be a hidden gem if the food was better. If the waiter thinks you did not like your food- do not expect a conversation about it. We had a few things, but the entrées were only lovely to look at.

I've been recommending this beautiful family-run restaurant to all my friends...The food was absolutely amazing (I had the Fez Tajine with braised lamb; beef merguez and the bastella for appetizers). I still have dreams about the taste, it was THAT good. The ambience, beautiful decor, friendly staff and delicious food definitely earn this restaurant 5 stars all around! Will definitely be back!

OMG!!!. The best food I have ever had!!!. Service was amazing and the place is kids friendly. Beautiful decoration. Thank you, we had a great birthday time.

We were suggested this place when we asked on a social media group for a new/different restaurant to try for our anniversary!We were blown away by how beautiful the restaurant was, dimmed with nice lighting, warm pillows and nice decorations. It felt like a mini escape from being in Calgary!We had the Tour of Morocco which started off with a soup, salad and choice of appetizer. We both had the Bastella which is a pastry of almonds, caramelized onions, chicken and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. The amount of flavours in this dish were explosive, yet complimentary to each other. Almost tasted like a dessert!For the main, I had the couscous and chose the sampler which came with chicken, sausage, lamb and prawns. The sauce was a tomato/garlic base. My wife had the sweeter version of this called Couscous Sahara with figs, proteins and warm spices. She also had the sampler and we both really enjoyed our meals, although had trouble finishing!For dessert they brought out a pastry topped in ice cream with a raspberry sauce. My only complaint of any of our dishes was the amount of pastry to ice cream was very little.. only got a few bites of it but liked what we tasted.Our server was great and recommended a non alcoholic drink which consisted of a pomegranate juice base which we both enjoyed.

Went here for the first time today. Atmosphere is amazing. Feels like you’re walking into Morocco. Food was tasty and made with love. The Fez Tajine was delicious! Loved the sweetness. Only down side is it’s a very slow paced place. You don’t see the servers often. We waited 30 mins for them to get us the bill after we ate .
