Overview

Located in the heart of Cheltenham, Casablanca Restaurant offers a genuine taste of Morocco within a warm and inviting setting. This independent gem stands apart from the usual chain establishments by delivering an authentic culinary journey through its rich and vibrant menu.

Their menu highlights reflect the depth of Moroccan cuisine: from the crisp, flavorful Spring Rolls to the hearty and traditional English Breakfast with a Moroccan twist, and the exquisitely prepared Tajines that showcase a variety of regional herbs and spices. The Tagine Kefta and Tagine Djej are particularly memorable, slow-cooked dishes that melt in the mouth. For those seeking lighter options, the falafel selections—whether in wrap, burger, or salad form—strike a perfect balance, emphasizing freshness and bold flavors without overwhelming the palate.

Soups like the Harira, notably accompanied by poached eggs and dates, provide a comforting and intriguing start to any meal, embodying Moroccan hospitality in every bite. The subtle sweetness of the Peach dessert and the complex notes of Mole Poblano add a refined finish to the dining experience.

The ambiance of Casablanca is as thoughtfully crafted as its menu. Warm, low lighting bathes the space, lending a cozy and relaxed atmosphere that invites guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the culture. Owner Rashid and his team offer a level of hospitality that truly elevates the visit, welcoming each guest with genuine kindness and attentive service that feels like an extension of Moroccan warmth.

Casablanca’s charm appeals to a diverse audience—from those deeply familiar with Moroccan fare to curious newcomers eager to explore new flavors with authenticity and passion. The restaurant’s blend of traditional tastes and a modern, comfortable environment creates an experience that lingers long after the meal ends.

Whether you’re seeking a special dinner spot or a place to savor rich culinary traditions, Casablanca Restaurant is a destination worthy of discovery. Its dedication to quality, flavor, and welcoming spirit makes every visit a memorable passage to Morocco without leaving Cheltenham.

Casablanca is the real deal - we enjoyed an evening of authentic, vibrant Moroccan food which was brimming with flavour , fragrant mint tea and the best creme caramel in town. Thank you so much to Rashid and his wife for an unforgettable experience, and for giving us a taste of the famous hospitality that is Morocco is renowned for. Will be back in no time In shā’Allāh!

Our second visit, this time with my parents in tow. Great food (we ordered the beef tangia ahead, as we'd been advised on our last visit, and it did not disappoint!) - the spicy potatoes were a wonder! Rachid is a dream and will happily recommend dishes to suit your fancy. We'll definitely be back.

I had the incredible experience of visiting Restauraunt Casablanca, yesterday. From the taste of the food, to the aesthetic of the location, it felt like I was travelling. The most delicious, authentic flavours and kind service. I wish leaving I could only find more words to describe the positive visit. I would highly recommend visiting!

I had a wonderful experience at this Moroccan restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—rich flavors, beautiful spices, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing evening, with a chill vibe and warm, low lighting that made the whole place feel cozy and inviting. The owner was incredibly nice and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The wine was excellent as well and paired beautifully with the meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Moroccan flavors, great wine, and a comfortable, welcoming ambiance! -Unfortunately I only took photos of the main course.

Tonight me and my family and I went to @_casablanca_restaurant_ in Cheltenham. It was incredible! Real authentic Morrocan food in the heart of Cheltenham! The food is all homemade, spice level is catered to the customers like and the portion sizes are perfect. The owner is super attentive, can tell you what's in the food down to the single grain of couscous, and the homemade lemonade with pomegranate is just *chefs kiss* and my balieys martini went down an absolute treat If you haven't been, you need to! 10/10 It's not a huge place so avoid taking big pushchairs/prams, ours collapsed and was stored away in a found space but if there were a few pushchairs it wouldn't work and ring ahead to organise high chairs. It's a very welcoming place even with small children with spirit, none of the staff turn an eye. There isn't a baby change but you can make do with a change mat on the floor or if your little one can stand up a quick bum change us eas enough in the toilets. Over all a fabulous experience and I will be back ASAP!

Looking for somewhere to eat whilst visiting Cheltenham we stumbled upon this fantastic little Moroccan restaurant. It’s so cosy and welcoming and the owner was extremely helpful and attentive without being overbearing or pushy. The food was amazing, fresh and hot (the tagine came out bubbling) and the atmosphere was friendly and quiet enough to talk comfortably with just the right level of background music. Would definitely visit again, there were so many tempting choices on the menu. Recommend 100%

Had a very enjoyable and memorable evening at Casablanca. Small and cosy with delicious food served by the owner who couldn't be more passionate about the food he cooks or more passionate about ensuring you make the best choices, recommending alternatives and describing ingredients and cooking methods. Makes a refreshing change from places where the food is pre-prepared and reheated and served with politeness but little enthusiasm. Also thought it was great value for money - generous portions served with love. Thank you.
