Never thought I would equate Middle Eastern cuisine with Baton Rouge. But it's a cuisine that…read morecomes to mind when I think of this city thanks to this spot along with the stellar reviews that accompany it. This is one of three Albasha locations in the southeast Louisiana area. Thank god this location is near our field office in Baton Rouge which is where I was assigned to in early October allowing me to dine at this spot for lunch. The dining area spacious with plenty of seating. It does get a lot of traffic during the weekday lunch hours; probably cause of the lunch specials that are offered which we took advantage of. The menu consists of your typical Mediterranean eats such as hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita (spinach pie), chicken/beef schwarma, lamb shank, moussaka, and kabobs (just to name a few). Lunch specials involve plates which include a feta cheese salad, rice pilaf, and hummus that accompany the entrees. Ranging from $14-18, this is quite the steal, especially during times like these. The Lamb Shank lunch I ordered was delicious with plenty of food that I had to have a to-go box to bring the remainders with me. The chicken shwarma and vegetable platter were ordered by other parties who both loved them. And we also started with the fried cheese which is served in a bed of olive oil and spices with some cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Very tasty, especially with the vegetable garnishes. I need to get another assignment in Baton Rouge so I can come back here again!

I really enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken and what really won me over was the char. This meat was freshly sliced off the pit and not sitting in a pot waiting to be served and losing its freshness. I also noticed some things on the menu that seemed unique, like skillets, so I will definitely have to try that next time we are in the area. The extra Kalamata olives took it over the top! The interior was quaint, cozy and inviting. This is not the place to come with a large group. We look forward to next time!

Very friendly, happy and checked on me at just the right times. I always go for that Combination Plate, because I just can't steer myself away from it. The Chicken Shwarma and Gyros meat are always tender and flavorful. The Grecian Sauce, aka Tzatziki is amazing! The pita bread is fresh, and the hummus is a nice side along with the feta salad.

We ordered the three-meat sandwich, the kebab sandwich (daily special), and a side of grape leaves. Everything on the three-meat sub was delicious and well-seasoned, a nice medley of lamb, spinach, tomatoes, and chopped chicken and beef. Although both sandwiches had similar flavor profiles, the daily special was also super tasty. The shop also carries a nice assortment of spices, hot sauces, sweets and canned goods from the Middle East. Counter service was also super friendly and the cheapest sandwich was just under $10.

We had a great experience and already have it on the list of go-tos when we are back in the city, as we return fairly often. First off, that bread. My gosh, I could have just sat for an hour and eaten it alone. I love that it just keeps coming too - we never once had to ask for more; by the time we were finishing up the pieces there, another set was delivered. Heaven. We had not one bad thing. The ikra was the surprise of the salatims/dips - so good - and the muhammara was excellent as well. That fried chicken hummus was perfect - so creamy and a bit of a different texture than most other hummus, but it worked. We tried the lamb kebabs and crispy halloumi - both of which were solid; however, when they say small plates, they mean small. I thought the serving sizes were a bit tiny. Nonetheless, we were full before even making it to the larger dinner plates and settled on the chocolate tart and knafeh cheesecake for dessert; honestly, I could have done without both. They weren't bad, but they weren't very flavorful to me. Definitely a 5-star, but if it wanted to be a 10-star, I would say a bit larger portions, better desserts, and more friendly service (he did his job but didn't really seem like he wanted to be there). Go now!
