If you are looking for delicious food in a cozy atmosphere, Daood Basha is for you. Food was great, service was friendly and location was easy to find! I stopped in here in a whim! Was looking for a casual but not fast food restaurant. I stopped in Daood Basha and was not disappointed. First, the restaurant is small and has a homey feel. I felt like I was eating at someone's house! I went pretty early so it wasn't crowded. The waitress was very attentive and gave me recommendations when I asked. The waitress time was good and the food tasted fresh! I had the chicken shawarma sandwich. Was a good size sandwich, and came with fries. It was very good. While I didn't love the fries , it was a good compliment to the sandwich. Although I was definitely full after the meal , I didn't want to leave without dessert. The waitress recommended the pistachio baklava, which was delicious! All in all I enjoyed my meal. If you are looking for a nice family spot, this is the place for you!! read more

On a strip plaza with little parking. I ordered pick-up and when I arrived at the time grub hub/yelp online ordering told me to...the waitress said they couldn't find my order. Ended up waiting half an hour since I had arrived. This place is very unique and a great diverse option to Orlando's food scene. For me, the price point was high for what I received. It was one skewer of meat inside a generic white tortilla with a white sauce and big chunks of cucumber and lettuce. The meat was seasoned mildly, just wish the wrap was loaded for the cost at the least. The real winner here was the fries and kunefe. The fries were thick, but still crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It also came with delicious garlic sauce...in the tiniest container. Must try is the kunefe. Sweet and savory, crispy and cheesy. A delicious $5 snack/dessert. Total for just a wrap ($19.50) and dessert was about $26. My fav Mediterranean place is a spot in Maitland, loaded wrap on a fresh tortilla, only $13. read more

After a very long and fun day we were looking for something open late and we came across Daood Basha. We walked it at 11:30pm and we were warmly welcomed in and sat down. There were so many great looking options and we asked for recommendations and our waitress (which I believe was the owner) offered up an amazing platter with all of the sides. Everything was made to order and was absolutely amazing. The customer service was great and everyone left happy and full. Definitely recommend as a must visit when in Orlando. read more

Pure home away from home- what a warm welcome and family treatment- we were here for form California for Universal parks visit and stumbled upon this amazing family joint - nice food and pretty elegant ambiance. They were very accommodating and helpful. It's a little family owned restaurant which gives a taste of home cooked meal. We interacted with them and their little daughter even came out to say is Hi Amazing experience will definitely come again read more

Amazing I just wish they had a Resturant in nyc I loved everything amazing the hold experience was truly middle eastern

We stumbled upon this great place while shopping at the outlet mall. I have eaten a lot of Mediterranean food in my life and this is one restaurant I will never forget. The decor is beautiful and minimalist with seating for only 40 patrons. We were greeted and served by a lovely woman who was the only worker we saw. The food was delightful. We both had mixed shawarma wraps (chicken and beef) which came with fries which we substituted for a salad. The salad was lightly seasoned and delicious. The wraps were juicy and full of flavor. At the end of the meal, we sipped mint tea which just made the meal that much better. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Outstanding service and super kind. I was recommended the chicken with hummus and it was amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I have only good things to say about this place. Entering into the building, it was as if just a step up from a fast food restaurant. Not fancy by any means, but clean. Starting with the service, I really cannot think of a better place I have ever been treated with such respect and gratitude. The lady who was serving my family and I was absolutely the best. She was extremely attentive, let me try a sample of their delicious Moroccan tea, and I enjoyed it right down to the last drop. I accidentally dumped my bag on the floor, and the lady working rushed over to pick it up and dragged another chair from another table and placed it on the chair. I was so impressed! Then the food came. I got the chicken Shawarma and it was so incredible. I couldn't eat it all because they give you a bunch of food, but my family helped me finish it. At the end, we were asked if we would want any dessert, and I told her no - and she brought some to me anyway, lol! Such lovely service, food, and all the things. I wish I lived closer to visit again and again. read more

Last experience was awful unfortunately. We walked in, weren't even greeted. We sat ourselves down, literally waited half an hour just to get a glass of water. When the water was brought, they didn't even give us ice, the water was warm.The chicken on the platter was overcooked, literally burnt. My salad tasted wilted. I really don't understand how they conduct business like this, I literally never have this type of experience in any other restaurant. The ambiance was nice but the service literally needs major improvement. read more

Very nice server she explained the menu very well, food was pretty good we got the mixed grill and hummus. The only thing is that food is more South Asian than Arabic spices wise, but good and fresh. Definitely recommend it read more

Very nice, very small, Mediterranean restaurant right across I-Drive from Bass Pro Shop and the outlet mall. Service was friendly and fast. Smoothest hummus ever. Tasty lentil soup. One sandwich/wrap with fries is enough for two. read more

12/28 @ 3:30pm Walked into an empty restaurant and was told to sit anywhere by a young lady at the register who could not be bothered with anyone for the day. Absolutely horrible service! After being ignored for approx. 20 mins, while she lingered behid the counter l, I left with my hungry husband and daughter. Please do better and hire someone whos interested in working here. read more

Came here after visiting Universal Studios with my family and tried the Arabic chicken shawarma, super flavorful! It came with crispy fries and garlic sauce, and the fries were some of the best I've had in a while. The lady who helped us was so nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself is cozy, has plenty of seating, and a really cute vibe. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great halal Mediterranean restaurant! read more

We were looking for Mediterranean food near Millenia and found this restaurant. It was not busy at 6:30pm on a weekday and we were able to grab any table we wanted. The restaurant only serves bottled water, $2/each, but we had brought our own. We ordered the meal for 2-3 people. It came with appetizer of salad, hummus, and pita. The salad was refreshing, and I love the lively lemon vinaigrette! The hummus was excellent as well. The drizzle of olive oil and side of paprika really elevated the dish. Next came the main course with 2 kafta, 2 beef, and 2 chicken kabobs served on a HUGE platter of rice with grilled onions and tomatoes. The kafta and chicken were cooked well and had a nice char flavor to it. The rice was wonderful as are the vegetables. However, the beef was dry and overcooked. However, we were happy with the meal overall and had plenty of leftovers to go. TLDR; nice Mediterranean restaurant with very generous portion sizes that can feed plenty of people. They do charge for water so maybe bring your own! read more

This is probably my second favorite place to get middle eastern food in Orlando. I like how convenient it is to Bass Pro Shop and Deezerland but the food still tastes good. However wasn't a big fan of the salad but I'm not the person to talk to about salad. Haha. You must get the Toum(garlic sauce) so good! read more

Being of Arab descent, this was the worst shawarma I've ever eaten. We got 2 beef wraps. They were in tortilla bread? They came out 10 min apart and were room temperature. The meat was completely unseasoned and chewy, the veggies weren't fresh, no parsley, no house made sauces, just out of the bottle tasting sauces. The fries were the best thing on the plate. This was not a good representation of the cultures flavors, at all. 42 plus tip for 2 wraps and 2 waters. read more

We walked in to a clean and quaint restaurant and were greeted by a kind hostess. We sat and ordered the hummus and samosas. Both of those were delicious.

Everything here was absolutely great. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody I know. read more

They started serving us with to go boxes instead of a plate, and the way they crammed everything together makes it look horrible and unappetising , Ziyaad left and now everything has changed, it was a mistake to lose an exceptional person who served his customers with high quality service!

Food tasted good that's why they are getting two starts, but we were a family of 6 ( 2 adults and 4 kids)and ordered the platter that supposed to feed 6. We got served two test samples of sauce. The food was not enough at all, ended up ordering sides to fill up. You don't get served water although the sign said " treat like a restaurant" for the time required. Which is terrible, had to refill water from bathroom sink!!!I highly do not recommend that place read more
