The Good Stuff
Social Space
The cafe works well for meeting friends, group get-togethers and personal meetings.
PlayStation
You can play FIFA on PlayStation, giving groups something to do beyond shisha and conversation.
Sports Screens
Huge screens make it a useful choice for watching football and other sports with friends.
Karak
Karak is a recurring local favourite, with one reviewer calling it great and another pairing it with Pan Kiwi shisha.
Relaxed Setting
Reviews describe comfortable seating, cool music and a quiet, peaceful feel for unwinding.
Friendly Service
Several customers mention welcoming, helpful staff and service that adds to the relaxed atmosphere.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Upstairs. If you want a better setting, ask about the second floor; one reviewer specifically preferred it.
Check Coffee. If you want espresso, confirm the coffee style before ordering because one customer received filter coffee instead.
Bring Friends. Plan around a group if you want the social side: reviews highlight get-togethers, shisha and shared sports watching.
Set Expectations. Come for a casual local shisha stop rather than polished decor; one reviewer says to manage expectations.
Choose Sports. For match nights, the large screens are the useful feature to look for, especially for football and other sports.

The Bottom Line
LaCasa Cafe in Oud Metha is built around relaxed, social visits rather than formal dining. The clearest reasons to come are shisha, karak and time with friends; reviews also mention PlayStation for FIFA and large screens for watching sports. It suits a casual meet-up, a personal meeting or a longer evening when you want somewhere to sit and talk.
Shisha is generally the strongest part of the experience. Customers describe it as flavourful, good and affordable, with one older review recording sheesha starting at 22 dirhams. The drinks receive more mixed treatment, though karak is repeatedly singled out, including a review calling it great.
Food is not consistently documented: one customer specifically reported no food, while newer reviews simply praise the taste of the food. The atmosphere depends on what you want. Some reviewers describe comfortable seating, cool music and a peaceful setting; others call the decor basic, old or dusty, and one older review mentions a smoky, noisy, all-male crowd.
Ask about the second floor if you prefer that area. If coffee matters, check the preparation first: one reviewer received filter coffee instead of espresso. Overall, this is a value-focused local hangout for shisha, games and sports, not a polished specialty-coffee cafe.
