rev:text	This place has so much potential. What they do well - namely, the couscous, gyros and tagines - they do damn-near perfectly. Where they fall short, improvement would be easy and inexpensive. So, like a middle-school English teacher with a bright but lazy student, I'm simultaneously pleased, annoyed, and yet hopeful for progress. First, the praise. I've tried the baba ganoush just about everywhere in Charlotte you're like to find it. Casablanca Cafe's is easily the best. I simply can't recommend the lamb couscous highly enough. It's truly a thing of beauty; full of big chunks of fresh veggies and a generous size of perfectly seasoned lamb that really does fall off the bone. The French bread they serve with it is a delicious and authentic reminder that Morocco was a French colony until 1956. The tagine is very good and quite authentic, but lacks the vegetables you get in the couscous. For a simple lunch, the beef gyro is fantastic with a creamy garlic sauce. Try it wish their slightly smoky hot sauce. It's called harissa, although the girl at the counter didn't seem to know that. A repeated source of frustration is their continued failure to actually provide what is on the menu. Where a side of grilled vegetables is offered you will have to make due with a decent but unremarkable salad. And don't even bother ordering the Moroccan Symphony (assorted Moroccan pastries). They never have it. Seriously, never. Which is a shame, since the mix of French influence and the Islamic affinity for sweets makes Moroccan pastries some of the best in the world. I've been coming here since it opened about three years ago. At that time it looked like little more than a gutted Subway whose future was yet to be determined. Since then they've made some small efforts to impart some Moroccan style to the dining room. However, dimming the lights, painting the walls a dark color and draping some fabric like a tent to hide those bland and decidedly un-Moroccan ceiling tiles would go a long way to making the place feel much more authentic. Also, as enthralling as those soap-operaesque music videos they play on Arabic MTV are, there must be a better musical option than Egypt's answer to Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon-Bon". I just don't know what that could be.
