Oh, yum. That's the first thing I want to say about this restaurant. This is listed as "Mediterranean", but to me it was Greek. They have spanikopeta, they have baklava, they have meat on a stick, they have great service, and they have a great view, sitting on a busy corner on Civic Center Drive.It's a good place to grab a go bag, and it's a great place to sit and have dinner. It doesn't have a lot of bling, but it has great service, and fresh food, and that's really all you need for a great meal.

Minnesota nice apparently means "run over me". I was eating dinner this week at Casablanca and 2 homeless people wandered in off the street. Staff was afraid to do anything about them! They were very intimidating. Stand up for your customers or lose them to the homeless!

This place...oh my gosh. AMAZING food. It's fresh, so it's not like your getting old chips or anything like that while you wait. I actually live right by this place but just never made it in there. But the other day I finally did and I legitimately regret that I didn't eat here sooner. I just went with the simple gyro, and it was so good. You get to add the tzatziki sauce yourself, which I really appreciated. The chips/fries they serve with the food are so stinking good. I actually went there again the other day just for those. (which I am slightly ashamed of, since the gyros are just as good). The cost is pretty comparable with a regular fast food restaurant, but the food is FRESH! For two people, it was under $20, which I thought was great. Staff is nice and always friendly. I would highly recommend this place. The food is so good; easily one of the best places I have ever eaten.
