Cosmically Magical

Totally lovely experience. Great vibe, great venue, kind and considerate staff. Ravioli starter. Caesar salad. Cauliflower pie. Worth the trip to Casablanca.

Very delicious food

We tried the Ravioli, the Cheeseburger and the bowl of the season - everything was 10/10 and soo delicious. We were really happy to find a vegan restaurant in morocco, because in our opinion it‘s even hard to find good vegetarian options that are not only side dishes. The owner was really friendly and lend us their ipad so we could check pictures from the dishes because we had difficulties reading the menu in french. Additionally it was really nice to see a place full of women (some alone, some in company) eating and chatting - didn’t see that very often while our stay in casablanca. The dessert and lemonades are great too! Highly recommend!

Perfect

Great for both food, or just coffee and snack.
Large menu.
It's pricey for Morocco, but you won't find anything like it.
They have online menu to check out.

The best option in Casablanca 🌱

NIYA offers some great western style dishes, with great flavour, creativity and display.

The pancakes and French toast were among some of the best I’ve ever had… which I know is a bold statement.

It’s a great place for digital nomads or anyone looking for good Wi-Fi / place to study.

If you have been travelling in Morocco for a while and fancy a little change from traditional Morocco cuisine, give this place a go!

Not the cheapest but all relative…

Best cafe in Morocco

This was our first choice for lunch and it didn’t disappoint! All the food was delicious with a great range of vegan options, and lovely people working there combined with the relaxed vibe that only couches, books and cats making themselves at home can bring.

Pros: Excellent vegan options, Great staff, Relaxed vibe

Good

Atmosphere close to fine dining. Lovely staff. Couscous (plat du jour) had nice seasoning but was overcooked. The portion was crazy massive > easily for two. Brilliant agrume presse of pamplemousse.

Amazing AND Delicious

We visited during Ramadan, so it was very quiet other than a couple of deliveries. Our lunch was deliciously seasoned and prepared with care. The whole place was spotless, and the menu had so MANY interesting options. My husband and I could NOT choose a favorite dish, and if we are ever in Casablanca again, we will visit again immediately.

Pros: Professional and Friendly staff, Delicious food, So many VARIED options on yhe menu

Delicious food, lovely restaurant!

We picked up a meal to go from here before heading to the train station. We both got the chick’n burger (so delicious) the Mac and cheese, lemonade and a cookie to share. Everything was delicious, but the burger was my favorite! They have a small shop also in the restaurant. Took about 20 mins for our order to be ready, which was great!

Best vegan meal in Casablanca!

There was a lot riding on this visit - being the only vegan place in Casa and the mixed reviews, but it so did not disappoint. It's clear that passion and love have gone into the preparation. So it's not all Moroccan - who cares?! There's plenty of other Moroccan eateries where you can get the standard humous mezze. I came away nourished but not overfed. Will be back!

Pros: Perfect size food portions , English speaking staff, Lots of options

Worth the trip

I am glad I took the time to visit this lovely cafe as I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Casablanca is a bustling, busy city but NYIA is an oasis of peace. I had a trio of vegan bastillas followe by a Persian omelette, both absolutely delicious. However, the true star was the pudding - so good. They also have furry friends dozing on the sofas always happy to get a cuddle.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Cats

An absolute gem

I ate at this restaurant over the course of an entire week and had the chance to try many of their dishes. Everything I tried was amazing. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the interior is nicely decorated. They also have WiFi and power outlets.

Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff, Cozy atmosphere

Delicious but very westernized

Tasty food. We tried a selection of dishes and enjoyed all of them. Playing was beautiful and ingredients tasted fresh. The squash soup and ravioli were my personal favorites. I appreciated that even the fried food did not feel overly greasy and that everything was flavorful. For dessert I would recommend their pistachio and hazelnut ice creams.
Service was friendly and food came out quickly. Overall, our favorite vegan meal in Morocco.
I do wish they had more local dishes on their menu. We came on a Sunday, when they had no specials, and nothing we had really tasted Moroccan. We could have been eating in a restaurant anywhere in Europe or the US.

Pros: Tasty, Fresh, Friendly service

Cons: Few local dishes/flavors

Outstanding!! 10 stars

Miya is the only vegan restaurant in Casablanca. The food is absolutely outstanding. You must visit this restaurant when in Morocco. The owner is beautiful and working tirelessly on contributing to a better world. The staff are super friendly and in this city of cat’s the neighborhood cats know they have a safe space wandering through to eat and drink at the cat food station. We just loved everything and the owner being so active in desexing, vaccinating and giving veterinary care to those cats she can is admirable when the odds seem stacked against her. Much respect.

Highly recommend!

This was the only vegan restaurant I found so far on my trip around Morocco, so I couldn't miss it. There were a lot of options in the menu, from starters to mains and desserts. We tried arancini balls, croquettes, Turkish pizza?, fish burger, and pizza. After so much food, we only had some ice cream for dessert but there were loads of choices. I'd definitely come back if I visit again.

The service was also really good, and the manager checked on us and was willing to help out with translating the menu.

Compared to other places in Morocco, I found it very expensive, but compared to what I'm used to in Europe, acceptable. Paid around £40.

Healthy & fresh but overrated

On first inspection of the menu we nearly ordered 4 starters/sides and 2 mains between two people. One of the sides was unavailable and the vegan “squid” which either comes as mushroom or aubergine depending on availability was aubergine so I passed on it.
I’m glad we only ordered the dishes we did because everything was incredibly average. As a vegan, spotting such a highly reviewed all vegan restaurant in a country such as Morocco, really got my hopes up.
The arancini was pretty good and a decent starter size. 5 small balls between us was perfect. The flavour of the arancini was lacking but the sauce was delicious. The ravioli sauce on the other hand was a very bland cream and the fresh mint was the only thing bringing any flavour to the dish. This starter consists of 4 pieces of pasta which again, was great for sharing.
“Taco Tuesday” (3 different “tacos”) was definitely not what we were expecting. The tacos are more like wholewheat pittas than tacos. The “tempura” avocado was coated in quinoa so if you’re eating for health instead of flavour then this might be up your street. The cheeseburger also comes with some kind of wholewheat bun which made the whole thing very dry and disappointing. The salad served alongside the burger has no dressing but a little vinegar and sesame seeds which considering you can get an incredible, accidentally vegan, Moroccan salad just about anywhere in this country was a massive let down.
The saving grace to this place was the ice cream. We had the pistachio and the nectarine verbena which were both delicious if not a little overpriced.
The setting is absolutely beautiful and the shop selling artwork, clothes and jewellery is aesthetically pleasing but I wouldn’t come back here for more than a coffee and ice cream. The air conditioning was lovely when we initially walked in but half way through our meal we were both just cold.
All in our two starters, two mains, one dessert and two soft drinks came to £37 which I’d much rather have spent elsewhere.

Pros: The food presentation was beautiful, Stunning shop inside

Cons: Bland, under seasoned food, Expensive, Air conditioning was set way too cold for comfort
