    Incredible food from incredible people. I always love what I order, especially treating myself to the bakery after. It's amazing how they use this space as a grocery, restaurant, and bakery all at once. Since I first met them 2 years ago or so, they continue to improve the shop time and time again.

    We tried their weekend buffet and it was exceptionally hood for the price. Their buffet has 2 main sections, a good variety of cold salads and hummus, and several meat based entrees. They don't have that much vegetable options and the dessert is just limited to basbousa. But their entree selection is really good, there are 2 chicken dishes, 2 beef dishes and 2 lamb dishes. Also they serve really creamy pasta and a very flavorful smoky rice (with the chicken) that is the best I ever had. Since the place is a bit small and lots of people were there, it felt a bit congested. They don't have a reservation system, so you need to wait for a free table. Nevertheless, I regret to try this place so late, I will definitely come back here several times.

    This was our first and definitely not our last time eating here. Small restaurant, market attached, very kind service and good recommendations. He gave us complimentary hummus and it was THE BEST hummus I've ever tasted. Delicious soft pita on the side. I got a chicken kebab platter and it was outstanding. Sauces were delicious (red sauce is spicy but the flavor was wonderful), and SO much food. Very generous portions- I took a meals worth of food home! The salad was perfect- olives, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, great dressing and feta cheese. Overall highly recommend. Don't skip this little gem! We will be back, we loved it so much!

    I would rate this place 100/10 if I could. This is a small little restaurant attached to a grocery store and small bakery. But despite the small restaurant, the service was phenomenal, and the food was amazing. I didn't even take a picture of the cake we got from the bakery but that was just as delicious as our meal. With so many Mediterranean options this is the one I pick to frequent!

    Lunch buffet, Fri/Sat/Sun

    It's been while since I visited Al Basha for the lunch buffet. Just as good as I remember. Served Fri/Sat/Sun 11am-4pm; items vary each day of the weekend. No gyros today, so made a pita with chicken, cucumber, tomato. Visited after the regular lunch crowd, and greeted warmly by Ahmad. Star of the show-- Basbousa coconut cake (Egyptian semolina cake without egg.) Tastes just like my favorite coconut macaroons and oozy-gooey sweetened condensed milk.

    The LEAST tasty falafel and cold fries I've ever had. Such a waste of a carry out dinner night. Do not recommend!

    We ordered hummus but they gave us all this ! Hummus, Baba Ghanouj Falafel Patties all delicious

    So far it smells great . It just a few tables in the back of a Greek grocery store . In no way i attractive restaurant far from it but I've had some great food in hole in the wall restaurants .I'm getting the kufta sandwich hubby ordered the gyro platter . We are having the Greek salad and large humus plate . The portions are larger than we anticipated . I'm not a big gyro fan but this was obviously " home made" and the best I ever tasted . My kafta was likewise well seasoned and really good . The hummus had a good amount of tahini in it which for me is a plus . The baba ghanouj was obviously made with roasted eggplant and had a lovely smoky taste . We will definitely go back .

    Gyro Hummus with Gyro Meat Lunch Special

    Enjoyed lunch here for the first time and will definitely return! I had the gryo hummus and salad combo and it was huge!!! So much food, well worth the price. The gyro meat was tender and flavorful, and the hummus creamy and delicious. The salad was a standard greek salad, but quite fresh and the dressing was excellent. I wish the tzatziki had more cucumber, but it is winter... The service was efficient and friendly.

    Shawarma Lunch Special Sandwiches

    Wowwww. That's my review. Yes, it's "in" a grocery store. But there's a full sit down restaurant. We were seated promptly and told our food would take 15 minutes (so you know it's all fresh). The food came out much faster than that. I embarrassed my mother by licking chicken shawarma off my fingers. Not even "the look" was able to keep me from dipping my fork straight into the garlic sauce and eating it. Apologies to everyone who I talked to for the rest of the day. If I had to pick a downside, I guess I'd say that they don't have Diet Coke. But they do have a fridge of sodas, most of which I've never seen before. The tangerine Schweppes was delicious. I took home some hummus to share with my husband and then hid it from him so I could have it all to myself. I'll be back for the weekend buffet!

    I've been twice, and very pleased with both visits! I was in search for the, "Dubai chocolate bars" and was able to find it there! The chocolate bar was absolutely delicious! The customer service was exceptional! I called to see if the bar was there prior to going, and someone answered and was very helpful! Both times! I would recommend!!!

I called ahead and ordered: 2 kebab sandwiches 2 falafel sandwiches 2 kibbeh orders baba ghanoush fattoush salad The employee on the phone told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would actually be another 17 minutes. I waited in my car, came back after that time passed, and then was told "maybe 13 more minutes." The biggest issue was not just the wait -- it was the lack of honesty and time management. If the restaurant had simply said from the beginning that they were behind and needed closer to an hour, I would have understood. What frustrates customers is being repeatedly given inaccurate wait times. People plan their schedules, families, and evenings around the times restaurants provide. After waiting inside, sitting directly in front of the counter, I watched the cook START preparing parts of my order almost an hour after I originally placed it. Items like the baba ghanoush, salad, and kibbeh -- foods that are usually already prepared -- were only assembled then. Meanwhile, customers who arrived after me and ordered at the restaurant were served before my takeout order was completed. Unfortunately, the food quality also suffered from the long delay: The sandwiches were soggy The salad had water pooled at the bottom and no dressing The kibbeh was soaked in grease For the amount paid, I expected much better service, communication, and food quality. A simple apology and realistic timing would have made a huge difference.

    An absolutely perfect dining experience for our group of 8 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation for 5:30 but our plans changed slightly and we arrived 30 minutes early. We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and answered our questions about menu items. She was extremely friendly and personable. We ordered several appetizers including my favorite, Saganaki. The hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

    Service: Amazing! I felt so taken care of and attended to! Customer service was on point…read more Ambiance: I sat outside. It happened to be the first warm day, and so I could tell I was probably the first customer to sit outside for the season. Even so, the tables and outdoor space were clean. Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.
