I am always on the lookout for low sugar restaurants. Normally at a steak house I can only order one option, for example, the steak and steamed vegetables. At this restaurant I can order multiple kinds of dishes!! It was amazing. Also the staff were...very friendly, knew all the ingredients of their food, took extra care with our order, and the food was delicious. I might go back every week. The decorations are diner style, this is not a fancy restaurant. Perfect for meetup with friends.More

This is a place that has been converted from its former life as a fast food restaurant so it is basic in terms of decor and ambiance but it is definitely worth a visit! My husband and I took my sister and brother and niece...and nephew here so they could try Moroccan cuisine and everyone really liked it…even my nephew who is a very picky eater. We got the platter that serve 6 - 7 people plus we ordered the lamb and a plate of spicy carrots and everyone tried some of everything and the food was a hit! Plus, the service was very good - what more can you ask for?!?! My brother who has always said he would eat anything but eggplant tried the babaganoush and loved it - he was surprised! We were just passing through Ypsilanti on a family trip so we are all sad that we don’t live close enough to eat here regularly. We all recommend this place for delicious, reasonably priced Moroccan food - you should try it! You will be glad you did.More

We ordered online for takeout. I had the Kofta sandwich and my son had the Gyro. They were both fantastic! We also ordered the Moroccan Bread and Garlic Paste which were so good! My son also had the Anise Tea and I wish that I...would have gotten it too because it smelled so good! We can't wait to go back again! It's a smaller, older building (which looks like an old Taco Bell or Ole Taco building), but don't be turned off by the building, the food is great and the employees are very friendly and welcoming!More

Excellent food and service! I enjoyed all of my dishes and the owner even had me try the Casablanca smoothie before I left, so good! Make sure and try his homemade bread! Will be back.

On a 3 day trip we went twice! The food is amazing and staff is helpful and accomodating. The portion sizes are bountiful and the bread was warm which is a plus in Detroit in the winter.

The restaurant is not fancy; the food is not expensive. The dishes are flavored with cinnamon, ginger and other less used spices. The food was tasty. My friend had harira and I had vegetable couscous. They were served with a tasty whole grain bread.

A journey to Morocco with spices and a nice diversion from the usual Lebanese restaurants in the area. We shared enjoyed the Chicken Tagine and tabouli with hot and fresh Moroccan bread.

What a nice surprise. The place is very simple and made us pause, but we decided to stay. What a great decision; the food was excellent from humus for appetizer to baklava for dessert. In Michigan you can find good middle eastern food relatively easy,...but today’s food was exceptionally good.More

The portions are very generous so you may want to bring friends and share. There is a meal combination that says it feeds 2, which is what my husband and one daughter ordered. There was enough food leftover that 4 more people could have been...fed.More

Imagine yourself a traveler... You're on a trade route along the Spanish coast, and you're crossing the Straight of Gibraltar... Or, you're in a caravan, traveling across the northern coast of Africa... Either way, you find yourself in Casablanca, Marrakesh or Tangier ... Cities of...romance and wonder... mysteries upon mysteries... with sights, sounds and aromas... The cuisine is a wonder all to itself. Cultural influence from all around the region descend on Morocco, with their impeccable use of spices and fruits. Recipes that date back hundreds, if not thousands of years... introduced by the Berbers over 2,000 years ago, the Tagine has been a cooking staple ever since. Fast forward to 2019... you're in Ypsilanti MI, and you're in Casablanca... An unassuming little place, that appears to be an old Taco Bell. Spartan interior with white walls, a few pictures and decorations. But, you're not there for the ambiance... you're there for the outstanding food and stellar hospitality. A family run restaurant that pours their heart and soul into every dish. We've been there three times already, and since the first time, expect no less than excellence... and they've delivered every time. Start off with the Moroccan Hummus... Unlike anything you've ever tasted. Rich, warm hummus, with a pool of vegetables and spices. It can be a meal in itself, especially when accompanied with their fresh, baked bread. Its complexity will tantalize taste buds you didn't know you had. Their Chicken Tagine with Olives is a family favorite... Half a chicken, cooked in a Tagine, so tender it falls off the bone... a mixture of sweet and savory, with a touch of hot... you could pick out the individual layers of spices from the first bite, to the finish... The Bistilla is like getting a present wrapped up in Phylo dough... minced chicken and eggs... fried almonds and cinnamon... crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside... 100% exotic in flavors... The Couscous Dish w/ choice of meat... I chose Salmon... A full plate of soft, tender Couscous, topped with a cornucopia of vegetables, sauce and a generous slab of Salmon sitting right on top. Every bite was better than the previous, and I was hard pressed to finish the whole dish. Our last time there, we enjoyed our meals with a couple of their smoothies... my wife had the Avocado w/ Honey, and I had the Casablanca delight... a must have, to balance out the meal's flavors... Our second time there, the owner came out, and asked how everything was. We complimented. We raved. Our excitement beamed trough our eyes. One look from the owner's face, and you knew he was pleased, and humbled. He then put his hand over his heart... and bowed to us, which is, in Arab culture, a sign of respect, humility, and to show gratitude or "thank you" (in the name of Allah). Wonderful people. Extraordinary food. I encourage everyone to travel to Casablanca, and taste the exotic mystery of Moroccan cuisine.More

Moroccan Combo for two 1/2 Bistilla, 1/2 Chicken Mhammar, Sweet Lamb, with zaalook and hummus. OMG The most tender juicy Lamb dish ever eaten Sweet Lamb Tagine Lamb, herbs, honey, raisins, on a bed of fluffy coscous outstanding. Mhammar (HalfRoasted Chicken w/lemon) Half chicken, butter, olive oil, herbs, onions w/fresh ginger. Zalook so addicted to this Yum Roasted eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. Bistilla Herb saffron chicken, orange blossom water, honey, almonds powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Holy best fillo dough Stuffed treat ever.

Even though the building is a former Taco Bell, your palate will be pleased when the Moroccan fare hits the table. There were 7 of us that ordered the Moroccan mixed tray. I thought we would not have enough to eat, however everyone had their...fill and we took leftovers home. If you like Mediterranean fare, you owe it to yourself to give this restaurant a shot. My only minor negative was some of the meat dishes were a little dry,but the flavours were wonderful.More
