Moroccan roots. Central Coast history. A tradition of hospitality.
of culinary & catering experience
A taste of Morocco.
A story of hospitality.
Originally from Fes, Morocco, Chef Karim brings the flavors and hospitality of his homeland to California’s Central Coast. With 33 years of culinary and catering experience, he has become known throughout the region for his Moroccan cuisine—food that brings people together through fragrant spices, carefully prepared dishes, and the warmth of a shared table.
Since 1994, Karim and his wife, Chantale, have owned and operated restaurants across San Luis Obispo County. Their journey began with Morocco Restaurant on Foothill Boulevard, continued with Oasis Restaurant & Catering on Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo, and later brought them to Oasis Restaurant & Catering in Pismo Beach. Each location became another chapter in their longstanding connection with the Central Coast community.
Along the way, Karim and Chantale have catered many events throughout the region, bringing Moroccan flavors and personal attention to gatherings large and small. Their experience extends beyond the kitchen: they understand that a memorable event begins with listening, thoughtful planning, and making guests feel welcome.
Today, their story continues as Oasis Catering, based in Paso Robles. With their focus devoted entirely to catering, Karim and Chantale carry forward the same passion for food and hospitality that has guided them since 1994.
From savory couscous and delicate bastilla to fragrant tagines and grilled kabobs, Chef Karim shares a taste of Morocco—and a part of his own story—with every gathering.
