Casbah Food Court Review

Casbah Food Court is a counter-service restaurant in Tokyo DisneySea. Located in Arabian Coast, in the corner of the large courtyard that the port opens up to, Casbah Food Court serves different kinds of curry that guests order at the window before going to find a seat in one of several rooms the restaurant has. In this post, we’ll review Casbah Food Court’s cuisine, value and atmosphere while sharing photos of the restaurant.

Despite the name, Casbah Food Court doesn’t include a Sbarro, the faint smell of table cleaner and body odor mixed or whatever other late 90’s mall food court memories you have. This isn’t really a food court in that sense at all, the restaurant offers the same items at each window. And I’m comfortable saying that those items haven’t been sitting under a warmer, not cooked all that well to begin with, for hours before you order them!

Now that we’ve dispelled the food court rumors, comparing Casbah to actual counter-service restaurants in theme parks seems appropriate instead of whatever place in your local mall that serves Bourbon Chicken. Tokyo Disney Resort is no stranger to quality food, whether it’s counter or table-service. DisneySea especially offers an impressive variety, with curry being one of those unique offerings. Between the atmosphere and food, Casbah Food Court is near the top in terms of quality.

Residing in Arabian Coast is a notch in Casbah Food Court’s favor. The port is so immersive and beautiful that simply being in the area is enough to make the atmosphere work for the eatery. Of course, the restaurant doesn’t simply rest on those laurels. The main entrance to Casbah is through the courtyard before the dining rooms run parallel to the winding alleyways of the Arabian Coast. Even without eating here, there’s some easily accessible tables if you need a quick sitting break or someone else in your party is shopping in the alley and your feet are sad.

The main ordering bay is intricately designed with different textures, lighting and facades. When we visited only half of the windows were open, which isn’t a big deal because the restaurant wasn’t overly busy and all of them have the same menu. I would assume the park opens more ordering windows the busier DisneySea gets. Regardless, the area is an extension of the market on the outside of the land. It’s beautiful!

Speaking of beautiful, the dining rooms are extravagant and a wonderful place to sit and have a meal. Honestly, I was surprised while editing the photos of the room because the rooms were even more lavish than I remembered. The gorgeous lamps along with the domed, ornate ceiling make for one of the prettiest dining rooms in a theme park.

There’s another dining room that isn’t as detailed although there are some cool lamps and props. If you’re eating here I’d definitely recommend the more lavish dining room or eating outside. Overall, the atmosphere is one of DisneySea’s best, on the same level as Vulcania’s volcano theme.

Moving on to the menu, you’ll need a translation for that link! As you can see, all of the main dishes are curry with prices between 840 and 1300 yen. As of February 2024, that converts to less than $10 for the most expensive option. That goes to show how advantageous traveling to Japan is right now but also shows how good of a value most food items are at Tokyo Disney Resort.

This is the Curry Combo with Tandoori Chicken, Spicy Beef Curry and Sweet Shrimp Curry. All dishes are served with rice and a piece of naan bread. The combo was the 1300 yen option and I thought it was worth every penny yen. This was very filling and delicious. If you’ve never had Japanese Curry, it is a heartier option than Thai or Indian Curries. I find Japanese Curries to be closer to a stew, with a thick and rich broth. Despite this being in the Arabian Coast, the curry at Casbah was definitely more along the lines of Japanese Curry.

The Beef Curry had a little bit of heat but not enough to dissuade anyone from eating it. This was the richest of the three curries we tried. The beef was tender and delicious. That said, I liked the Shrimp Curry even more as the broth was a little sweeter and not quite as heavy. As usual when it comes to seafood at Tokyo Disney, the shrimp was delicious and I preferred it to the beef. Finally, the Tandoori Chicken had a bit of a spice to it but not much and avoided being dry. I thought the whole plate was delicious! It’s not the best counter-service meal I’ve ever had but in the top ten.

We also tried the Chicken Curry which had a sweet broth similar to the Shrimp Curry. It was another strong option but I preferred the Beef and Shrimp more. Like Ron Swanson says, “Bird can never beat cow.” He also has a love for shrimp cocktail so I think he’d be with me here. On the flip side, the mustachioed man loves a value and this dish amounts to $6 USD at the time of writing this. I believe that’s 2 quarters more than a churro. I’m presenting that without any other comment.

Overall, Casbah Food Court is one of the best counter-service spots at Tokyo Disney Resort. The food is a great value and delicious while the atmosphere is one of the best of any quick spot in any theme park. The only way I wouldn’t recommend it is if you really didn’t like curry. Even then, I’d encourage people to at least try it again and see if it changes your mind. After all, it’s cheaper than Sbarro.
