Morocco is a country of contrast, magic and timeless wonders. It is blessed with rich, nourishing land and mountain snows; beaches, deserts and lush oases.

Casbah's are in harmony amongst this backdrop. It is a sanctuary for Moroccans.

In this dining room you will witness authentic architecture, carvings, tiles, paintings and crafts which result from twelve centuries of Moroccan art.

The cuisine is presented in a fashion that enhances it's surroundings and is considered by culinary experts to be among the top three cuisines worldwide.

It’s my first time going to a Moroccan restaurant in Calgary and they did not disappoint the place is gorgeous! It makes you feel like your in Morocco. As for the food, me and my partner we both got the tour of Morocco & the Tour of Casbah We started off with their famous moroccan mint tea, I’ve been craving for that tea for a long time! It was great! For the appetizers we got “merguez” it was 10/10 I loved it we tried it with a piece of lemon wedge it became 20/10 honestly just from that i was already slightly full. The main course arrived and I got the chicken tagine, my partner got the Couscous chermoula with the protein sampler. I personally never had couscous my partner told me to try it out and I have to say I think it’s my new favourite thing. My overall rate for this place is 10/10 for the vibe and ambience. For the food 9/10. I definitely recommend this place for everyone who wants to try different cuisine or if you want a place that has a great ambience! Will definitely come again!

It has been years since I went to a Moroccan restaurant in Calgary, so I was really looking forward to trying The Casbah and we weren't disappointed at all. As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you're transported into a world filled with the colour, ambience and smells of a Moroccan wonderland. The Casbah invites you to relax, visit and savour the spices of their menu dishes in a way few restaurants can. The food is delicious, the portions are ample and the service is friendly and helpful if you have questions about the menu. I would recommend reservations so you are assured of getting a table, and allow yourself time to enjoy the experience; 3 hours passed by before we realized what time it was. Needless to say, I highly recommend this restaurant.

It was my husband's first time at this restaurant and the last time I was here was about 8 years ago. It's always been exceptional and this time was no different. My husband was in awe of this gem, surprised a spot with such amazing food and exquisite ambiance even exists in Calgary. We had somewhere to be at 8 and our server recommended the lamb as it would be the quickest to come out and it did not disappoint. Service amazing, food spectacular, ambiance and decor is gorgeous. 5/5.
