Restaurant Dar El Kaid

“I had a pleasant dining experience at Restaurant Dar El Kaid, and the visit offered a good balance between traditional Moroccan flavors and a comfortable dining environment. I started with the harira, which was warm, flavorful, and nicely seasoned. While it was enjoyable, it didn’t particularly stand out compared to other places offering the same classic dish. The bastilla, however, was excellent—the pastry was perfectly crispy, and the filling of chicken and almonds was generous, aromatic, and well-balanced between sweet and savory. It was easily the highlight of the meal. I also ordered a lemon-ginger drink, which was refreshing and well prepared, with a clean citrus profile and just the right touch of ginger. A perfect palate cleanser after the richness of the bastilla. The ambience of the restaurant is a strong point. The décor, lighting, and overall atmosphere create a relaxed and authentic Moroccan dining experience. It’s a place where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and take in the setting without feeling rushed. Pricing is on the higher side, especially when compared to similar restaurants in the area, but the presentation, ambience, and overall experience do help justify it. Overall, Dar El Kaid is a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy Moroccan classics in a calm and pleasant environment. I would return again, especially for the bastilla.”

“Elegant and traditional restaurant at the entrance of the old medina. Great ambience and amazing foor (I recommend pastilla with pidgeon meat and lamb tajine with plums and almonds, very generous quantity). Prices are way higher that a classical moroccoan place (900MAD for two persons) but the quality and quantity of food worth the price. A little bit noisy the musical entertainment but interesting.”

“The food was very good, the atmosphere was also very good, but the place is bit on the pricy side. For 2 of us, appetizer and dinner turned out to be around 600 MAD, roughly $65.”

“Lovely atmosphere, the food is good with lots of local variety and options. It's a huge restaurant from inside spanning three floors. They have live folk dance and music. If in Casablanca 100per recommend to visit this place.”
