We've had dinner at this place many times and tries many of their dishes......all superb! Very fresh and tasty! Our waitress Susie is always welcoming, helpful , and on her game. Prices are reasonable! Highly suggest trying it! read more

Stopped in after running to Trader Joes based on the reviews. Had the Chickbasha which was the right size for lunch. The pickled veggies and sauce were all good. Will come back to try more. Small inside dining room snd if weather is nice, they have patio seating as well. read more

Very much enjoyed our lunch at Basha. It's what I've come to call a chipotle style restaurant. Great choices, and tasty. Generous portions. Plus they had a selection, albeit limited, of beer & wine to complement the meal if so inclined. read more

The food, phenomenal! The service, phenomenal! The beer (kosher or not), yep, phenomenal! If your lucky enough to have Samar explain your Lebanese food options, your lucky enough!! Even the cooks are great to talk too! I'll be back and would highly recommend you eating here too. read more

Never a disappointment for a great dinner consistency in service and attitude! The food never leaves you wanting !

Love this place. The owner is so friendly and the food is amazing. Go here if you like the type of food and want a new place to feel like home (because they will remember you :) ) read more

We were treated to a catered lunch of salad, hummus, chicken kabobs, Baba and pita. Honestly some of the best flavors I've ever experienced in my life! Delicious and healthy...Loved everything! read more

Eaten here several times, including doordash, excellent take on shrimp cocktail and chicken wings, the pita they come on as a base is exceptionally good as well. read more

Was a huge fan when they opened. I've lived in the Middle East for years and their Lebanese-style pita wraps were the real deal. But ever since, food has been slightly better than OK but on the pricier side. I've tried their pita wraps (which can sometimes be too salty for my taste but are excellent when the tahini / white sauce is done right), grain bowls (kind of stingy portion size when I tried it and so-so taste; wish hummus or tahini would be topping options), pasta pollo spagnola (actually pretty good - pasta tastes homemade even though I wouldn't expect it to be; but chicken was dry and seasoning was weird / didn't complement the taste of the pasta - would have preferred unseasoned chicken), and hummus (not as creamy as I prefer - had a very high ratio of tahini and olive oil too; still was tasty). Also the one time we ordered hummus - which, at $8+ is the most we've paid for hummus in the area - it didn't come with pita. Not sure if this is a mistake but from reading other reviews, it seems we're not the only ones who've had this experience. If true, this is the first time in all the Lebanese / Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern restaurants I've been to that doesn't give pita with hummus. read more

10/10 recommend this restaurant especially the chicken shawarma. I usually don't eat chicken shawarma but one of the workers (Khaled)) recommended it and it's now my favorite! The owner is super super nice and welcoming and that to me says a lot about the vibes of the buisness. read more

Okay Mediterranean food. The food is extremely salty and will leave you with a stomach ache once you leave (even if you order a salad!).

Absolutely amazing food. I had a pita sandwich and hubby had a salad. Love that you can pick and chose what to have in your menu item. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Wish there was a Basha in my town! read more

Just had dinner here and loved the food! My friend and I split the veggie combo and everything was delicious! We asked to substitute extra hummus for the tabouleh and they happily obliged. What a generous portion too! Our least favorite thing on the plate was the spanakopita. We also split the Grecco pitza (it's pizza on pita - cute name ). We wanted to try the Lahm pitza but they were out tonight. By the time our pitza came out (not a long wait at all), we were so full from the veggie plate that we both only had a couple bites but it was so flavorful! The service was prompt and very friendly! It was a little confusing whether you sit and order or do it at the counter but everyone was so nice it didn't really matter. (It seems like you can order either way.) Some of the prices seem a little high but based on the portion sizes of tonight's items, I can see why they're on the higher side. I can't wait to go back and try more!!! read more

Service is a little weird because you seat yourself and menu yourself, but otherwise really nice people and amazing food. We're already planning on coming back. The dessert is also something we loved. Usually it's something too sweet and we leave a bunch behind. The Egyptian bomb was really awesome though- nice well balanced and rich rice pudding with this baklava on top that was a combo of crunchy and moist. I'm already salivating thinking about it. read more

Basha is amazing. Everything I have ordered tastes awesome. Employees and owners rock! Thank you, Basha!

Thank you, Yelpers, for writing such great reviews of this place ... and so abundantly so, that we couldn't miss trying it! DELICIOUS! And not just your typical hummus and gyro at a Mediterranean restaurant. We got the cabbage rolls, the loubia (and asked for a side of pita bread to sop-up all of that great sauce), falafel and a shawarma pita -- all to share. PLENTY of food. Gracious service. Excited for them to get their liquor license so we can enjoy a beer/wine when we return. Which will be often! read more

We were in town for a concert, staying nearby. This place is in a small mall with adequate parking. Walk into a clean, simply decorated space with banquettes and separate tables. Our server was friendly, engaging and informative. We enjoyed 2 side salads with greens, roasted peppers and brussel sprouts with a sprinkle of feta and Greek vinaigrette. We shared a Pitza with mushrooms, red onion, feta and mozzarella. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also have grain bowls, soups, fresh squeezed juices and baklava on their menu, among others. If you like fresh food, well made, this needs to be on your short list. read more

The Gecca pizza was amazing and I had the green smoothie that had a wonderful flavor as well. The service was a bit slow and they forgot to make one of our two pizzas but I would definitely go there again! Perhaps even next week! read more

Food was pretty good but the dining room was freezing cold. We had gyros, soup and salad. We watched them prepare the gyro fresh and pour the soup but by the time we paid and sat down it was all cold. read more

This is a go-to lunch stop, but recently I also tried it for dinner and was very impressed. The dinner menu is different, the pastas and the Mashawe plate are flavorful and are great for sharing. Will be back! read more

I was very unimpressed by the veggie combination place. Falafel was rather bland and not served hot enough. The hummus and baba ganoush tasted a bit dry and stale. Pita provided was insufficient. Not horrible but not impressive either; I wouldn't go back. read more

First impression is ordering process is quite disorganized. Very busy for lunch which is awesome for this new business, however, the individuals working were getting confused as to who ordered what. The ingredients for the salads and pita are right in front of you so I assumed they would ask me what toppings I'd want when it was time to make my pita...that was not the case. I was unaware that someone was making my pita since they didn't verify it was for me and I was unable to make substitutions. I know it can be stressful when a workplace is busy but please don't make it obvious to the customer. I'd recommend using a paper for customers to fill out the toppings they want and having that follow through with the entire order process so there are no "mistake" pitas made, also sticking to whatever station the worker is assigned to might be easier (i.e. Taking orders, grilling, register). My chick basha tastes great but the ordering process needs to be altered. read more

This is my favourite Mediterranean restaurant in Rochester. Food is so fresh and delicious and the service is great! The atmosphere could be a little bit warmer but the food is pretty much makes up for that. I Like that they have takeout available as well. Far as I know the recipes are quite authentic and everything is prepared fresh. read more

Ordered the vegetarian combo plate. The hummus was way too salty. The tabulee was watery and it ran into the hummus. The falafel was tasteless. Waitress was very nice. The owner went table to table to ask how patrons enjoyed their dinner but skipped my table. I loved the original Basha's on South Clinton. Their new restaurant has a long way to go to be as good as that one. read more

My husband and I have been having lunch here together once a week or so for the last month. Food is excellent! I've tried 4 different things while he sticks to his fave Chicken Pita. Everything I've tried has been great. Food is fresh and made in front of you, staff is friendly. It appears to be family owned and operated which we love. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get. Nice atmosphere. Will continue to frequent for fast, fresh and healthy eats! read more

I've eaten a lot of Mediterranean food throughout my life and Bashsa really stacks up! I really like the vibe inside the restaurant. They don't have the largest menu but they're good at everything that they make. I would definitely recommend trying Basha for lunch or dinner! read more

Delicious fresh ingredients! Very satisfied with the meal I got. If you're in the mood for pasta the Pollo Spaniola is absolutely scrumptious. Great portion sizes and awesome service/staff. read more

Very disappointing dinner. Watery, thin, tasteless lentil soup and dry falafel. Usually better. Perhaps an off night?

My wife and I had lunch today at Basha's. Fabulous food! A little pricey but worth every bite. We each had a Chickbasha and shared an order of grape leaves and stuffed cabbage with some kind of Tiziki like dip. Holy Mackerel! Simply magnificent! read more

Today was my second time going to this restaurant and eating in there, not taking a to-go order...my first time was very pleasant and the food was great! Today's visit was the total opposite. I was shocked by how bad the customer service was...how rude the lady who helped us was! Don't get me wrong the food is still amazing but the way we were treated ruined my opinion on this restaurant! I was honestly embarrassed in front of my family because before going there i kept going on and on about how i liked it there but the experience this time was not good at all. Ruined my day and my family's! I really hope the staff there improve their attitude with their customers, otherwise they will start losing many customers read more

Very good Gyro- lovely patio area with umbrellas which was perfect on a summer day. Lots of offerings so will definitely return to try more! read more

Amazing food. Everything is so fresh and authentic. Wonderful staff and environment. 10/10 will be returning! read more

i missed tabouli so much! the gluten-free version at Basha is made with quinoa and is soooooo delicious! now i don't miss the wheat version at all. oh and everything else i've had here is great. read more

Absolutely love it here! I've gone 2x in the last week. Finally, food with FRESH flavors. Love the falephel! Best "toasted" gyro EVER! Friendly staff. Wishing them years of success!!! read more

Amazing! Food is fresh and delicious. Love the set up and location. They are open for lunch and dinner which makes it nice and convenient. Thank you! read more

This is the real deal. Homemade and fresh. I have not had such good Baba and Taboule since I ate with a Lebanese family in their home 30 years ago. The Taboule is so fresh, handcut, not with that machine-chopped texture. It was delicate in appearance and seasoned perfectly. The Falafel has a crisp crust with a soft flavorful moist center. The portions are generous and the service is great! If you like Mediterranean this is the place to go! The restaurant is clean and well appointed. You can eat in or take to go. For the quality and quantity the prices are very good. We were there Easter Sunday evening so things were quiet and we ordered at our table. read more

An absolute Rochester jewel. Food is amazing and so is the staff. I was passing through all the way from Florida and I will definitely return. read more

The best gyros in Rochester. Coming from a Lebanese background, I have yet to find any middle eastern food that is as authentic as Basha's

So glad to see Basha here on Monroe! Great food at a reasonable price. Always loved the food when they were on S. Clinton...wish them well at their new location! read more

Simple restaurant with delicious salads, excellent pita wraps and hearty soups. Service was very good. Very inexpensive.
