Nashad Ahmed: Out of blue stopped hereTried beef shawarma plater, had the Middle Eastern flavor. Portion is goodReally enjoyed

Sam Bereketab: Great service and fantastic food

Enoch Lee: First of all, I went 30 min before closing time on a week day with low expectations. Boy was I wrong. This is the flavours of India meets Lebanon! Best that the middle East had to offer. I devoured my mixed platter until there was nothing left. Everything on the plate complimented each other. I would've been happy with just the rice, let alone the flavour packed meat, the salads, and the hummus. Hats off to the owner, you've earned my respect. I have dined at many many shawarma places but not quite like this one.

David S: Excellent food. I very much enjoyed it.The staff were friendly, and very relaxed and friendly.I only knocked off a point on the atmosphere, and I'm sure given time it will be corrected no issue, they're in the middle of renovations, so there is building materials to navigate around, and the bathroom was a bit tricky to find. But that's not what I was there for. The food was great and the staff were great, so don't let a little atmosphere get in the way if you want to have some Mediterranean food. I really did enjoy it.And I'm quite sure that when the renovations are complete, it'll be fantastic again.All I have to say is don't judge a book by its cover. The atmosphere dock is just a minuet technical critique, don't let that dissuade you from trying this lovely food.Thanks, I enjoyed my visit.

Brandon J: First experience here was not so great but we reached out to the owner for a second round and he made things right. The food here is excellent and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for Middle Eastern Cuisine.Recommended dishes Chicken Shawarma Plate …

Tina Mitchell: My husband and I tried Al Basha Cafe today for the first time. There were so many dishes that I wanted to try! They have a fabulous offer on Saturdays and Sundays: All you can eat brunch for $25.99/person. This doesn’t mean we can order everything on the menu and leave behind what we couldn’t finish, resulting in a waste of good food. Just like some other restaurants, they will charge a penalty for dishes left behind. I applaud this, but it does make choosing the right amount of food a bit more of a challenge, especially since we had to guess the size of the dishes, having never tried them before.We have big appetites and were successful in eating all of the dishes we ordered: Moroccan Shakshouka, Egg Tagine with Sausage, Egyptian Foul Moudamas, Syrian Foul, Hummus and Falafel and were served a basket of warm flat bread to go with it. We also ordered teas to drink. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! Both of the main dishes had a wonderful, rich tomato sauce base with spices. The Syrian Foul was a mix of whole chickpeas and fava beans in a lemony olive oil while Egyptian Foul was more of a mashed consistency like a dip with tomato and parsley. The hummus was both beautifully served and delicious both with falafel and as a dip with the bread. The only dish served in smaller portion was the falafel; we received 2 instead of 6. I have had falafel at many restaurants but I dare say these were the best I’ve ever tasted! They were perfectly seasoned, and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.We were VERY full, thoroughly enjoying the meal and what a fabulous value for the amount of food! We will definitely be back! I got a photo before the falafel were served but not before we started to dig in.There were only a few other tables with guests when we dined shortly after noon on Sunday, one of which was a large, noisy group, who filled the restaurant with their chatter. I did appreciate the middle eastern music playing, however. I only saw 2 staff members the whole time we were there and a few guests appeared to wait for some time to pay their bill or be seated. As the word gets out and the customer base grows they may need to increase staff. It is not fast food so be prepared to wait a while for the meal; it’s definitely worth the wait!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

Keith McKague: Super fresh, amazing flavour. The owner is very nice as well. Not much seating but you could take away and eat at many public spots nearby.

ctcamara: OMG! What an amazing food! I love it! The Hommus is just perfect and fresh! Everything is delicious! I am so happy I came!For Brazilians... It has esfirra with cheese, meat and the sauces are wonderful. The Hommus and sour cream with garlic are perfect. You can miss Habib's! 😊
