This was my first time in Hilton Head Island and I was excited to try Mediterranean food, especially after seeing the positive reviews for Casablanca, but this turned out to be my worst dining experience!! You’re required to order and pay before sitting, so I asked for their recommendations and was told “everything is good and made fresh.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. So I ordered a mix appetizer plate and mix grill. The appetizer plate had canned grape leaves, canned hummus, canned baba ghanoush, and even the falafel made from a boxed mix. Nothing tasted fresh or authentic!! The mixed grill was just as disappointing. The chicken shawarma looked like leftover scraps, the gyro was dry and clearly reheated, and only the chicken kebab was freshly cooked, but with no flavor. The plate was full of the same pickles and canned items from the appetizer. The lady asked me how is the food so I politely told her that the food wasn’t good, she insisted everything was fresh and made daily. I told her it clearly wasn’t, and she then asked where I was from!! When I said I’m from the Middle East, she realized she couldn’t fool me about the food and simply walked away!! I only took picture of the appetizer plate to share with my wife. I wish I took a picture of the mix grill so you can see what I'm talking about!! Anyway, I ended up leaving everything almost untouched and walking out. I never like leaving bad reviews, but this place is absolutely not authentic, not fresh, and not worth the money over $60 for canned food and the lady was rude with 0 customer service. I do not recommend Casablanca at all.

Really nice spot. Good quality food. Not a fancy place with full service if you look for that, it's wrong place for you. But the food worth every penny. Simple modest place, with absolutely good quality Mediterranean food. If you around Head Island and looking for some lunch I suggest you to do it. No alcohol available, just soft drinks.

We ordered a mixed grill 2, a mixed wrap, and extra pita bread for pickup. Unfortunately, we forgot to order baklava, which made us sad. We really love Mediterranean food, and everything was so delicious. It's a small restaurant, but the flavor is spot on, and the service is really fast. Next time we're in Hilton Head, we'll definitely visit again!
