With so many restaurants in the area, it is rare to find one that is so impressive that it immediately stands out in the crowd of options. Casablanca on Brady Street, however, has done just that.
Casablanca is a Middle Eastern restaurant. In many respects, the food is similar to Indian food. Obviously people have their own taste preferences, but if you enjoy ethnic food, Casablanca is arguably a must.
Casablanca has an extensive yet reasonable lunch buffet which is served seven days a week. This vegetarian buffet provides an authentic cultural experience with amazing food. Buffet restaurants often conjure up images of cheap, unhealthy food, but at Casablanca, the food is high quality and anything but generic. In an age where some “Chinese” buffets serve pizza and corn on the cob next to the egg rolls, this is a welcomed change of pace.
When dinnertime comes around, Casablanca becomes a more traditional restaurant. Casablanca serves a wide variety of dishes for dinner, including plates with meats such as lamb, beef or chicken. Sandwiches are also available, as are appetizers, salads and other similar options one might expect.
The “Shawarma,” or Middle Eastern gyro, is very popular as well as the “Original Shish Kebab.” In addition to the great food, Casablanca has a bar with specialty martinis, among other drinks. Some of the bar patrons’ favorite drinks include the Casablanca Martini, the Pama Martini and the Champagne Dream.
As a unique twist, Casablanca has hookahs for added enjoyment. Belly dancing can be found on every Friday night and the restaurant hosts many events, including the upcoming 2007 New Year’s Eve party.
Casablanca is a family-owned restaurant. Although once shut down, the restaurant reopened under the direction of the sons of the original owner. According to the restaurant’s Web site, they hope to someday expand the restaurant into a chain.
Although Milwaukee has a fairly large number of ethnic restaurants, Casablanca deserves a visit. The relaxed environment, fantastic food and reasonable prices make Casablanca one of Milwaukee’s best restaurants.
