Upon arriving the server was silent and held up 2 fingers asking how many people we had and then took us to the table. Once at the table he threw the straws down at us like we were dogs. The food was tasteless and my boyfriend had to ask for hot sauce. He didn’t even get hot sauce. It was chili oil. In our entire relationship my boyfriend has never left a plate full until tonight. That says something. (he’s not fat he’s just a growing boy) Do not recommend.
The variety of dishes looks great. We loved the grilled cheese appetizer, but the rest of the food wasn’t very tasty; köfte meat was very dry, gyro wasn’t the best either.
Do not order online until they start reading the notes. I ordered a gyro plate and in the notes I wrote please use only moist meat and no dried out pieces. 90% of the meat was harder than jerky. Very disappointing experience. This was the first time they didn't prepare my food the way on wanted so I will give them another opportunity. I hope they improve the quality of their product soon or it will be the last time I order from this restaurant.
Food was pretty good. Not very authentic but good. My lamb shish kabob was cooked exactly like I ordered it. The salad had more of a thick white sauce rather than the traditional olive oil and vinegar. Hubby had the salmon and liked it
Love the food here. The gyro salad was plenty and very well seasoned. My wife won't stop talking about the falafel sandwich. Plenty of space at 5.30pm on a Sunday.
This is not authentic Lebanese but you need to know unless it's Lebanese or Syrian making (Lebanese) food it won't be authentic..they miss every time on spice and flavor.. the Hummus here was bland and missing tahini paste for flavor and it was ground into almost a yogurt..the bread was also flat and different..the chicken had good flavor but was thinly sliced imo.. I been to over 200 Lebanese places and this was a bottom place..I even asked where the owners were from they said Jordan..it's definitely a Jordan type cooking as I have experienced same missing flavors in other Jordan owned places..
This rating is more about the sum of my experiences at Albasha as this particular visit was closer to a three. While the service was great and the atmosphere was 'as expected', this particular dish fell short. The lamb shank plate is pretty bland to look at and about the same in taste. Lumps of relatively plain meat that taste about as well as they look. Not bad mind you - just very plain. Perhaps the lamb shishkabob would have been a better choice for me. If it wasn't for the feta salad, hummus, or even the rice - there wouldn't be much here to talk about. The chicken schwarma, the combo plate, and the mousaka are all superior choices that I'll return to (or try something new) over this dish. On that note, the other dish at the table (the reliable standby chicken schwarma) was reported to be great as usual.
Had the chicken shawarma and gyros combination this time. Excellent!
Service was great as usual, no waiting for service for lunch, and food came out of the kitchen quickly. Restaurant was clean and smelled nice.
Given the consistent quality, this is my go-to place now. They are good value for the food and ride the edge of no frills date night and suit and tie, black cocktail dress date night rather well. The latter will be a bit unusual but the decor lends itself well to either one.
