The food looked and tasted spectacular. We had the olives, pita bread, lamb cutlets, beef ribs, paella and watermelon with feta salad. All were delicious and the service was great too. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone, well worth it and great value for money.
Casablabla is the place to be if you are after fabulous food, sensational sangria, cool cocktails, excellent music, great and friendly service - they are the casa of the best smile; and a bit of eye candy... they are also the casa of the sexiest bartender - yea you know who you are sexy man!
Love this place so much I think of it as my casa away from casa :)

Love the vibrancy of Casablabla the music is always changing and the pizzas are a tasty treat. it's a great place for date night never disappointed
Casablabla has a great colourful vibe, accompanied by fantastic live music, free dance classes, flashy lights and friendly staff. A great place to hang after work, share some tapas and drinks.
Stumbled across this sort of hidden gem after a failed attempt to eat out at another restaurant, the staff were very friendly but slacked off in speed towards the middle of the meal but remained happy which is a major plus! The food came out in a relatively quickly for freshly cooked meal , first we had pita and assorted homemade dips:
The dips where amazing especially the corriander one ! Pita was average but yummy.
Then followed by some fresh delicious olives , very tasty and quite possibly the best ive had!!
"Main tapas " - braised beef ribs (4) extremely tender fell off with the touch of a fork , tasty and simple..
Grilled chops- (4) extremely tender and very tasty, not alot of charcoal but enough to give it taste and look. Served with a garlic dip which wasnt overly strong but extremely tasty!!!
Watermelon and feta salad- weird combination that actually works, very tasty and refreshing!
Chorizo and prawn paella- quite yum but was a little dry and lacked amount of prawns but was made up by the amount of mussels!
Overall : about average quality food at a decent price , not a meal for very hungry people would definately recommend getting something out of your comfort zone ! You wont regret it! Cons: service could be faster and food come out a little quicker.
Highly recommend for a try!
Fantastic salsa night Great food and wonderful entertainment We will be back for another evening. Want to try the paella now The service was very good , friendly and helpful
Really nice and easy tapas food in a cool environment. The kind of place you'd hang at on a weeknight catch up with friends and be really happy with your meal. I had the sesame seared tuna (5 star), soft shell crab and fillet mignon - great serving sizes but lacked a bit of seasoning on all meals if anything. Also had a margarita and that could have been handled with a bit more love. Overall I'd certainly go back it just wouldn't be my top pick in this highly competitive area.
Having been on the receiving end of bad service at Casablabla several years ago I have not returned until now. I am pleased to report that the service has improved in it's friendliness but is still poor in its understaffing. It was a busy Friday night, only one bar was open and there were regularly queues for drinks.
We love a good tapas spread, the flavours, the bite size pieces, and a chance to try a little bit of everything, what's not to love? So we felt fortunate when Casablabla extended an invitation to try their new winter menu!. Moroccan, Turkish, Balinees and Cambodian inspired decor. Casablabla is the type of place that everyone has visited at least once, and if you haven't, you should. Located on Leigh Street in the city, it's the perfect venue to escape to after work for drinks, great music and delicious food. With a decor influenced by countries like Morocco, Turkey, Bali and Cambodia, there's a sense of mystery to the surroundings, with an exotic touch. On our visit, all food was provided by Casablabla for our tastings.
Casablabla is one of the busiest venues within the Peel/Leigh Street area. Like most of its neighbours, Casablabla is both a bar and restaurant, serving small plates and tapas as well as many cocktails and other drinks.
We've previously been here for drinks, but visited for the first time for dinner on a busy Saturday night. We had no booking and inside was full so we ate at a table out the front.
The food menu is exclusively tapas on weekends; pizzas are available after 10.30pm. Between four people we shared five plates: tuna sashimi, pork ribs, fillet steak, soft shell crab and pulled pork tacos. All were fresh, tasty and a generous size. The tuna and tacos were the best dishes and are recommended. The drinks list is also good: many craft beers, cocktails and SA wines to choose from.
The service on our visit was slightly hit and miss, despite plenty of staff on. The first of our food and drinks arrived before the waitress finished processing our order - literally. Following that, the service was somewhat disorganised and a little slow.
In all, We'll be back to Casablabla for dinner again to try more of the tapas and pizza, and recommend others who haven't yet to also get there.
Be whisked away to a multicultural fiesta most nights of the week at Casablabla; belly dancers, Brazilian drumming, salsa classes and more on the house. The vibe and setup is pretty awesome. Frequented as one of Leigh Street's trendy bars, they also don't put on a bad feast. For $30pp, let them feed you a sea of tapas. The quantity of food delivered is more than generous (or that just could've been me eating everyone else's share too haha) though the quality was rather varying. I devoured the glorious pan-fried haloumi, and quite enjoyed the grilled lamb cutlets and smoked pork croquettes though some dishes ranked lower on my taste buds such as the frittata, sticky pork ribs and leek stuffed potato skins. Maybe DIY and pick the right ones if you're dining here, otherwise it's always an exotic location for a nighttime bev.
Such a cool place with a great tapas menu and wine list, but it's next to impossible to get a seat, inside or outside, if you don't have a booking. If you're just after drinks be prepared to wait in line for a while and then watch like a hawk for a seat to become available. Still, the venue is a lot of fun with plenty of live music and entertainment.
