"Casablanca in Philly looks like it was designed by someone who went to interior design school in North Africa. Color explodes on every available surface—including the wall drapings, stained glass ceiling lamps, woven banquette cushions, and velvet ottomans. The tables are made from painted tile columns crowned by a golden platter on which you’ll receive hefty plates of vegetable salad, spicy chicken, and sweet baklava. The tasting menu clocks in at $30 a person, so it’s easy to throw in extras like creamy hummus and chicken shawarma over rice. And the large menu gives the Mediterranean restaurant the versatility to please 20 of your closest friends for a birthday bash or an exciting date." - anne cruz
