We've been talking about going to eat here for well over a year now and thankfully, we finally went tonight. Let me put the important thing first, it's BYOB (2.50 corkage fee per person) but can bring beer or any other beverage you'd like. We'd made reservations for a group of 4 at 6pm (not required as people were walking in without them all evening). There are a few parking spots out front, but also free street parking and a lot across the street. I know nothing about interior design, but the inside is awesome, like nothing I'd ever seen. I felt like I was walking into a different country. My parents were visiting and my dad is very hesitant to different cuisines and especially styles of eating. That being said, he loved everything about the experience. You can sit on the floor, on their lowered cushion seats or there are couches that wrap around each table. Normally, they'd prefer you to eat with hands only, using their delicious (and unlimited) homemade bread to scoop up the food and flavors but (due to COVID?) they're providing silverware to everybody. We still tried to eat with our hands for the most part. This is a prixe-fixe menu (44.50 per person), so all you'll need to pick is an entree. We all got something different so that we could eat family style, but they were all awesome, filled with flavors we'd never had before. I'd say I'd recommend a lamb dish if I went back though the B'stilla and Chabbakia were the highlight of the meal for me. Prior to bringing out the first course they will offer to wash your hands at the table and will do the same prior to dessert. Before the mint tea, they will also offer an orange blossom water to rinse your hands and an optional spray over your head to relax and complete the meal. Overall, I'd definitely go back. An awesome spot to bring family/friends or have a date night to try something new. They've been in Kailua 27 years now and is a true family owned/operated business. The servers were so kind and took the time to explain each dish and custom. One of the better dining experiences I've had in a very long time!

Hosted my 42 birthday there it was incredible. Just important to know there is one flat rate fee for dinner per person's and that includes a 4 course meal!

The price fixe meal is well worth the price. You start with lentil soup followed by mezze platter, b’stilla (savory pistacchio, meat filled phyllo pie sprinkled with powdered sugar-to die for!!), Moroccan bread. This is followed by an entree of choice (lamb, fish, Cornish hen dishes) and sweet mint tea and pistacchio biscuits and a honeyed fried funnel cake-like dessert. Don’t forget the ritual hand washing at the start and end of the meal. Combined with a totally Middle Eastern ambience and decor, this is a great place for a special dinner!

Delicious and unique dining experience. Everything made you feel like you were sitting in Morocco enjoying the foods. The mint tea, the lamb and the courses were perfectly spaced and the price is more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. Thank you Casa Blanca, we will be back.

Great food and great vibes! I had dinner here with a group of friends so I was able to try several different entrees (chicken, fish, and lamb). Every single course from beginning to end was delicious. The sweet chef came out to check on us and even agreed to take a photo with us! I can’t wait to come back again!

Such an amazing experience! Such a fun atmosphere and dining experience. The staff is amazing, super friendly and kind. And their food.... wowowow. It’s amazing. It’s a set 5 course meal for a set price. Everything was very flavorful, authentic, fresh and delicious. My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day and I’m so glad we did, I would do it again 100 times. Highly recommend.

Finally got to try this place after many recommendations from friends. It is a pre fixed menu with vegetarian options. 55 per person and you can take home what you don't finish....we were beyond stuffed and took some home. Emersive, delicious and so much fun!! I read the one and two star reviews saying the food is sub par.....these people are crazy or caught an off day!! Can't wait to go back and try a different entree.
