Again, I highly recommend this place.

    VERY RUDE AND INHOSPITABLE, RIDICULOUS BEHAVIOR OF THE HOSTESS We called the restaurant to book a table for 9 of us and were told to do it online. Went online and booked, received the confirmation. NEITHER THE CONFIRMATION, THE RESTAURANT WEBSITE OR THE MENU HANDED TO US ON ARRIVAL MENTIONED THAT IT WAS A FIXED 3 COURSE MEAL. Once we finished our appetizers and a bottle of Chivas Regal, we were not very hungry after a very late lunch and wanted to jump directly to desserts which is when we got the kicker. IT WAS MANDATORY TO ORDER 9 MAIN COURSE EVEN IF WE DID NOT WANT TO EAT!! The hostess unapologetically said we expect you to order main course for all 9 of us and could not leave without that! Its only coz we put our foot down and told her we will not order or pay since we were not told about it that she relented. Extremely unprofessional and unhospitable behavior from a restaurant. Food: The starters we ordered were the Mezze platter and the lamb kefta. The taste for the Mezze was good but the quantity left all of us surprised, the hummus in the mezze was on a small petry dish with just enough to full up a tablespoon, the Taboule was good for 2 tablespoons!! Kefta was tasty though. Service: The wait staff was good. Atmosphere: It became quite unbearable once the hostess told us we were not welcome if we did not order the main course.

    Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious Moroccan food. Couldn't have imagined more than this. This place is a MUST TRY if you are visiting Casablanca and like Moroccan cuisine. I would definitely recommend Dar Dada and go back next time I visit Casablanca.

    Gorgeous dining room with two levels. Amazing service from attentive staff. Delicious food. Can't go wrong dining here! I had a solo lunch around 1230 and just walked in. Service was super friendly and helpful. From helping me order (Moroccan salads and couscous main), to refilling my drink, and friendly smiles, the staff here is top notch. Food was delicious, the Moroccan salads as a starter was a great journey to explore the flavors and textures of Moroccan cuisine. I was very surprised that I loved the red pumpkin the most as I typically don't like pumpkin dishes! I had a couscous with chicken and my main and it was HUGE. Really interesting and tasty, but I was only able to eat 1/3 it was so big. Would have loved to had more people to dine with to share/ taste more of the menu.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would do it with my eyes closed. This restaurant is a gem and I highly recommend anyone visiting Casa to enjoy spending two or three hours here. The majestic building, the music, the service were amazing. The waiters made us feel like we are kings and queens. The dancer was on fire. The food was DELICIOUS (authentic Moroccan food). I will definitely bring all my American friends next time I am visiting Morocco.

    Amazing spot with delicious food served by super professional and friendly staff. We both had Tagine and it was wonderfully cooked and some delicious desserts. Big five stars to the chef, crew and all the staff. This place is beautifully decorated. Don’t miss it if you happen to pass by Casablanca!

    I went there around 1:45pm on Wednesday. Restaurant was somewhat empty and not so busy. Anyway, i ordered a dish that's consist of squid&egg&chickpeas in a tomato sauce. However, it took more than 1hour 40min for the food to come out, and you know what? The food was undercooked and the squid was smelling unfresh. They handed bills while i was eating and told me to pay. And guess what, they charged me 45 dirham(4.5 euros) for still water that i asked for. 🙃 It was located in a beautiful building, but that's all 🤷‍♂️ Waste your time and money here if you want to 😊

    We had such a lovely dining experience here. The service is exceptional, the food is delicious, and the interior architecture is beautiful. There are private dining areas for bigger parties with musical entertainment that comes later in evening.

    Food was very tasty and the environment and entertainment was really great, we found service was good, could have been a bit more attentive but given it was new years can be forgiven. The set menu for New Years was very limited in choice for example no vegetarian options as a main or chicken or fish. We also were celebrating a marriage and asked for something special and we just got the Moroccan tradition drummers sent to the table which was not in keeping with my family’s taste and a bit disappointing. All in all food was really tasty but be prepared to fork out for it !

    We had an excellent dinner here! The atmosphere was really fun, there was live music, and the food was delicious. They also had a full bar and fun cocktails available, which isn't always super easy to find in Morocco.

    It could have been a five star if they had not tried to seat us by the coat rack, such a tiny spot. Walking in, over half of the tables were empty and the look on our faces said it all. They then kindly offered to switch us to a different table, which happened to be on the second floor with a view. The evening immediately became more pleasant. The couscous was delightful. My friend could not stop saying wow. The lamb tagine was delicious, the meat was so tender. The desert were quite palatable as well.

    The food was ok but nothing exceptional. The live music was really bad unless you are into arabesque. Maybe the locals like it? I ordered the mushroom/truffle dumplings as starters. They were tasty but a little too greasy. My main dish was the slow cooked lamb and there was definitely some problems with it. The dish came ridiculously hot, just soaking the bread to the juices and eating it would burn my tongue. However, the lamb wasn’t tender enough and definitely lacked spices. The food got better after it cooled a bit as the flavors settled. I think they tried to shortcut slow cooking with high heat which doesn’t really work. It was still good but not anything memorable. The plates didn’t look that appetizing.

    Food was absolutely delicious! Probably the best hummus I’ve ever had. The staff was super lovely and attentive. What a delight it was to be able to dine in this beautiful setting. Price was high for Morocco’s standard but I would have paid the same, if not more back in Amsterdam for a normal dinner for 2, so it was worth every penny for me.

From customer service, food quality the architecture. the place is just amazing, It’s a pure Moroccan. Prices are reasonable. We had a royalty service. Big thanks to the servers and the manager. U can tell the place is well managed.

    Oh where do I start describing this beautiful gem. I took my aunt out for lunch. They have valet parking. The staff was super welcoming. But what took my breath away was the interior design of this lovely Riad. Everything was arranged neatly and carefully. Just beautiful. Then the degustation menu was perfection. We got pastilla, chicken for me and sea food for my aunt. Then main course was tagine of beef and tagine of chicken . Then for dessert I got an ice cream vanilla and orange blossom. And my aunt got chocolate mouse. Everything is meticulously prepared. So authentic and so yummy. The manager Mr Tarik was professional and welcoming. He took the time to explain to me the history of the venir. It was a school for women to learn sowing and then it was bought out and turned into this lovely restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to escape to an authentic Moroccan getaway. The music, the lights, the artwork, the tables and space is just fabulous. I was fortunate to eat at amazing restaurants including Le cirque in NYC, Al Mahara inside the 7 Stars hotel in Dubai Burj Al Arab, almost every high end restaurant in Philadelphia, DC, and other cities around the world. Sometimes, a simple place like Dar Dadda ends up taking you into a culinary journey that matches the top experiences. That is how I felt. I cannot thank them enough for making that experience so pleasant for us. I will go back again and again when in Casablanca. Special thanks to Oumaima as well who arranged our visit and next time I will also try dinner since they told me they have live guitar music and a nice atmosphere for dinner. I can only imagine how beautiful that space will look at night with the lights on. I truly appreciate it when I see people to take care of every detail in their business. I wish them continued success.

    Our group stayed in Casablanca for a week to meet with clients and we chose Dar Dada for our closing dinner. It was a memorable experience! The manager reserved the beautiful main room for our party of 50 and a group of servers worked diligently to cater to the needs of our large group. Photos do not do justice to this place, it is very traditional Moroccan and the live music truly added to the experience. I will definitely plan to come back next time I'm in the city.

    What an incredible Moroccan experience. Beautiful vibes and service. I was able to walk around and get some great photos of their beautiful riad. They also shared a moroccan tea experience with me at the end of my delicious lunch. Off the beaten path, high price mark.

  • 4/5 Liz B. 3 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    Beautiful road and artfully decorated and great lighting and mood: and live music and great vibes for New Year Eve. Service was a slow start but improved. The fixed priced menu could have been explained better. But the main entrees were well prepared, arrived hot and were savory. Thế tạjibe sea bream fish and the salmon steak were great. They nicely moved us to a better table in the 2nd floor when it was available.

    Good ambiance, great couscous, efficient and attentive service, all works together in achieving a worthwhile dining experience. The Moroccan DJ sang and played a variety of music that blended well with the belly dancer and architecture of the Riyad.

    Amazing architecture and atmosphere. I would recommend the place even if just for seeing the place, it’s so pretty. I ordered lamb and friend ordered beef tagine. Both are good but I wouldn’t they are the next we had in Morocco. Spent 250mad per person with a mock tail and shared appi.

    Loved it. Good food eaten by locals and tourists alike. A bit expensive when you compare it to the rest of Casa, but the decor made it all worth it. Starters, mains and dessert - all tasted amazing! Live music was fun, but we missed the dancers 😭💕

    We had extraordinary night at Dar Dada. The ambiance was perfect, people were so nice. But for food, I think they mistook my order while the 'piece de boeuf' was absolutely the best. Strongly recommend it to have well-balanced fusion menu. I was hoping to watch the belly dancing, unfortunately it was not happening tonight (at least until 22h30). Will definitely come back with more friends if I ever get the chance.

    From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and traditional decor set the stage for a culinary journey. The menu impressed with flavorful tagines, fluffy couscous, and delightful pastillas. What truly made the night special was the live belly dancing performance. The dancers added a touch of authenticity and excitement, creating a lively atmosphere that enhanced our dining experience. The attentive staff and generous portions ensured everyone left satisfied. In summary, if you're craving true Moroccan delights paired with enchanting entertainment, this restaurant is a must-visit. A night of magic, laughter, and incredible flavors awaits!

  • 4/5 Almira A. 1 year ago on Google
    Dinner with live music and Belly dance, we wen on a Saturday. the food was tasty, but the portion is very big, we ordered Lamp's menu for 2 , but it if big enough for 4 :D pricing for Drinks is at same level with Europe (make sense in a Muslim country ). food price is quite okay. the starter with Truffle stuffing was very nice! Great building and beautiful interior design. I think it is worth a visit if you are tourist in Casablanca.

    This has really great Moroccan cuisine. The food here and the entire experience was excellent. From the tea man at the entrance into a lovely walk way of great decoration that gives a sweet ambiance. The appetisers and mains were well served and timely too. Makes a good location for a team dinner. There was live music and a belly dancer and henna tattoos for ladies.

    We celebrated New Year's eve 2022 23 in this place. Ambience was great and food was nice. The place is really beautiful, and service is slow but good. The bad rate is because of the management. We ordered just one burger and some desert for some kids, but we were charged the whole special menu. The most expensive burgers in my life. We expressed our disagreement, but there was no way...

    The restaurant is pretty, service was attentive. I had the salmon pave which was great, but my friend's beef couscous had a really long hair in it. Unfortunately it was near the end of the meal when we found it, so we couldn't do much about it. So as much as I want to like dar dada (and I really do want to) I'm a bit tentative about it.
