This restaurant blew our minds when we stepped in the front door. The lights and ambiance is like nothing we have ever experienced. The food came out fast, service was Excellent!! Aliyah was so sweet, knowledgeable, and tentative to our needs. She was one of the best waitresses we have had at a restaurant. The food was OUTSTANDING!! My husband said it was the best lamb he ever had!! It was falling apart with a fork and no fatty parts. Savory and sweet options, perfect portions. They have white chicken meat in the dishes, which I prefer!! So happy we came here!! 10/10!Vegetarian options: Many vegetable options!Dietary restrictions: No cheese options. Can order without powdered sugar.Parking: Sundays it’s free on the street or after 6pm Saturday.

What an absolutely stellar dining experience! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire evening. The ambiance was charming, with dim lighting and stunning decor. Now for the food...Each dish was a masterpiece, expertly crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavor. I could taste the authenticity in each bite, and for a brief moment truly thought I was in Morocco! The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Our glasses were never empty, and our needs were anticipated before we even had to ask. It's evident that the team takes pride in their work and goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable dining experience. Overall, this restaurant surpassed all expectations and left us eagerly anticipating our next visit.

Terrible service, cold food, I expected more after hearing about how good the lamb would be from the server. No one did a quality check, not even passed by our table that we could flag down for more water. A few dishes were forgotten. I expected more after reading the positive reviews

Had a terrific meal out in Calgary with family. Very tasty indeed. The room is gorgeous and the decor took me back to Marrakech. Had the harira soup to start and chock full of meat spice and veg. Excellent. I think all of us covered the tagine options and conversation was reduced to a minimum as we all chowed down.I wish the signage on the street was a little more visible as a tourist I could have missed the entrance down the stairs.Choukran

Phenomenal service, ambiance and food. Went for a private birthday party and it was an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond and handled our large group like we were the most important people through the door. Very knowledgeable about the menu, answering every odd question we came up with, and made the night unforgettable. Will absolutely return.Vegetarian options: Menu options for everyone, whether you want seafood, chicken, beef, or strictly vegetarian fare.

Our experience dining at Casbah took us right back to the Middle East. The ambiance was warm and intimate, the food was off the charts, the staff was attentive and welcoming. The staff member who hosted our evening guided us through the menu and helped us in selecting the perfect course. He knew every item on the menu in its entirety. This was the son of the owners of this long standing, family owned Calgary business! If you are reading this; Thank you again for hosting a great evening.You have our highest recommendation.Until next time!Julio, Amanda and Nadia
