Best Middle Eastern in Corona
Master Critic Review
Casablanca
8.1
A neighborhood Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant serving tagines, grilled meats, and falafel in a sit-down setting just off 96th Street. It works best as a relaxed dinner move when you want slow-cooked stews and mezze rather than a quick halal platter.

House Tagine (often lamb or chicken), Falafel Plate, Hummus with Warm Pita
