    Chicken Sajji with Rice
    Keisharial T.

    The food was amazing and the service was great as well! I ordered the chicken sajji. It was very well seasoned and accompanied by rice and salad. The salad had a flavorful vinaigrette.

    Greek Salad

    Service was friendly. Ordered the Lamb Shawarma Plate. The lamb was extremely tough and cooked overly well done. The taste of the lamb was not good, very tart and not seasoned well. The rice was not good at all. They also put some sort of milky white liquid in a cup that tasted god awful. I assumed it was a type of salad dressing. Hummus was not included in the plate either. The salad had an excessive amount of white onions. The restaurant seemed fairly clean but was not aesthetically pleasing at all.

    Great place to get mediterrean food! Wonderful service and huge menu. Our entrees included pita bread with amazing garlic hummus. The entrees came with a salad or soup and a choice of fries or rice which all looked amazing. Great portion sizes for the price. The chicken was tender but could be more juciy. I would come back and try their lunch menu.

    This is the place, sit down or take out restaurant!

    I enjoyed my food very much! My pics don't do it justice. They have a FB with many more and better pics! Food was prepared fresh and chicken was tender and juicy. Dressing was fabulous. So glad to have Mediterranean food on this side of town!

    Greek Salad  Chicken Shawarma Lunch Special Plate

    Food was fresh Greek salad had a homemade dressing that was good! I enjoyed the homemade hummus, but the homemade garlic sauce mixed in with my chicken swarmer & rice was everything. Service was excellent, there is also nice decor. Will be back!

    Closeup of fantastic Chicken Shawarma wrap sandwich with pickles and garlic sauce. You have got to try this!!!

    I usually have great experiences at Albasha. This was my first time at this location. It was clean…read moreand not very busy. I ordered a water, the waitress brought out a tea. I didn't say anything. Then we ordered an appetizer as well as two entrees. She forgot the appetizer completely. My gyro plate was cold and my fiancé's shrimp Alfredo had four (4) shrimp total and not much pasta. She only brought out two (2) pieces of pita bread, which we finished quickly. She never checked on us after bringing the food out, and we sat there for about 10-15 minutes wanting more pita bread. By the time she came back, we asked for a box and the check. We really wanted to try a dessert but figured it wasn't worth the trouble at that point. I ended up bringing the check to the register myself because she had sat at a table on the other side of the restaurant, talking to two people. She didn't say anything as we paid and left.

    We are used to eating at Albashas in Baton Rouge which is amazing but we decided to try this one on…read morethe way out of town... the ambiance is nice it's very clean and bathrooms are well maintained. The service was very good but unfortunately the food was super bland. The dressing on the salad was not the same as the original and tasted like they may have used old pre/peeled garlic. The pasta that's usually is super flavorful was also super bland. The chicken was dry and zero seasoning. Gyros was okay but it's hard to mess that up. If you are expecting same good Albashas as Baton Rouge you will be disappointed. I only have 3 stars for the service and ambiance.

The music added an interesting touch to the overall dining experience. The service was fairly good--our waitress was polite and checked in periodically, though she did disappear for stretches of time, which us in a left a bit of a gap in attentiveness. But, when she returned, she was helpful and accommodating. The food was very enjoyable overall. One standout was the Lebanese tea, which, even without the pine nuts, had a great flavor and was a highlight of the meal. Most of the dishes were flavorful and well-prepared, though the chicken in the Shawarma plate was a little dry. Despite that, the generous portions and authentic flavors made the meal satisfying. Lastly, I believe this place delivers a welcoming ambience, friendly service with room for a little more consistency, and delicious food with a few small areas for improvement. I'd gladly return, especially for the tea and the relaxed atmosphere.

Now that my family has moved away as well, I don't get to enjoy this place anymore. To this day, every time I look for Mediterranean food in San Diego, I find myself comparing it to this restaurant, and nothing has come close. Thank you for so many amazing meals and memories. Your food will always remind me of home, and I hope your business continues to thrive!!!

    Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!

    As usual, my girlfriend and I were out trying a new spot and ended up at this, cozy place…read more First Impressions: It was completely empty when we walked in, not the best look at first, but it was a Thursday at 12 pm, so we figured it was just a slow time. We decided to stay, and we're glad we did. Atmosphere & Vibe: The inside is warm and homey. It feels like a spot made for a lovely date. Definitely has that family-run vibe. Service: The owner greeted us, chatted with us a bit, and made us feel welcome right away. Super friendly and laid-back. Food: I had the lasagna, and my girlfriend got the gyro and baklava. The food came out quick. Lasagna was solid, but the gyro was amazing, lamb was tender and full of flavor. The pita was slightly burnt, but it didn't ruin it. Extras: The owner brought us a free Alfredo pasta, really creamy and tasty. Then he gave us the baklava on the house and even threw in a brownie for me, saying, "The baklava is on the house and the brownie is for him." That was a nice touch. (And we were really happy that we even forgot about taking a picture) Overall: Not much from the outside, but once you're in, it's a great spot with good food and personal service. We'll definitely be back. WE LOVED THIS PLACE!!
