Always good food at El Basha. Must tries include the sembousek (meat pie appetizer) and chicken port saiid (lamb is also very good) topped off by the baklava. Fries are crisp and perfect (and big hit with the kids). Beautiful restaurant interior for a special night out, girls night, or family dinner (and also good for takeout or delivery).

This restaurant is nestled into a strip mall and barely identifiable but once inside it provides an inviting and warm atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and the food was outstanding. We will be sure to put it on the list of our local favorites.

We made reservations the morning of our Saturday visit. When we arrived early, they were able to seat us within a few minutes even though we were waiting on another party member. The restaurant was very busy, but Patrick and the other servers were always attentive and pleasant -- bringing us water and pita bread with dipping oil. Patrick checked in with us frequently before we were ready to order -- not rushed but kept us in his sites. The food came out hot and fairly quickly and we enjoyed it all. We had hummus and baba ghanoush to start and ordered fattoush, kibee (a little over salted but tasty) and falafel. The portions were certainly enough and Patrick even added some more pita for the leftovers. Would recommend and will definitely return.

I love good food. I dont love overpriced bad food. We got hummus with beef, chicken shawarma with rice and beef stragonoff. Let me tell you, everything tasted so bad. I am so unhappy with the way the food tasted. I absolutely am never eating at any of their restaurants again.

Superb food, attentive service, and ownership creates a family atmosphere with regular patrons and his staff. Underrated gem in METROWEST.

Nice Place, excellent Lebanese food, great service, not cheap but reasonable price for the quality. BUT - $14 for a draft beer is an out-of-line price!

El Basha Sudbury provided the food for our 55 person wedding. Everything was super delicious, and our kebabs were cooked to perfection, which is not easy when you’re feeding that many people. Everybody raved about our appetizers: the meat pies, the kibeeh, both meat and vegetarian. Tzatziki sauce to die for, and the tabbouleh was awesome. Even the little details, like the quality and freshness of the bread were attended to, and the servers who came from the restaurant went above and beyond to make our wedding special.

Their food is soooo good but the service is a bit spotty and slow. I keep going back for the food. It is amazing.

We really enjoyed the El Basha in Worcester and wanted to try the one in Metro West. Noticeable difference in the quality of the food, with Worcester being superior. I personally don't like a space that is as dark as this place. Dark walls, low lighting, in a place that's not really particularly stylish. Not a bad experience, but not one that I'm in a hurry to go back to again.
The food was fantastic. Recommend always eating family style, several appetizers and couple entrees shared on the table so you can try everything. Service was great as well.

We had a terrific dinner at El Basha last night. First off, we started the meal with a cold beer from Lebanon called Beirut, which was really really good and served in a very cold glass, which was the right way to do it. We had hummus for an appetizer with chopped up vegetables and pita, and yeah, was the real deal. My pal and I each had the mixed grill, which was beef shish kebab, chicken, shish kebab, and something call shishlik over rice. Think A nice hamburger that has been formed around around a shish kebab skewer and cooked over charcoal. My wife loved her lamb chops and our other friend enjoyed the risotto she got. One thing to keep in mind: this is a big meal place. They are very generous with their portions so don’t eat too muchDuring the day. We will definitely go again and suggest you check this place out

My sister recommended El Basha, and from the moment we stepped inside, we felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s beautifully curated home. The décor is rich and elegant, yet still warm and comfortable—every detail thoughtfully chosen to create an atmosphere that invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
We were greeted immediately with genuine, friendly smiles, and the service throughout was top-notch—attentive, informed, and perfectly paced.
As for the food, it was nothing short of exceptional. The Homos B’lahme was creamy and luxurious, with tender, spiced beef on top that added depth and heartiness to every bite. But the standout of the night was the Beef Stroganoff special—a masterful dish of perfectly cooked beef, earthy mushrooms, and delicate vermicelli, all coated in a sauce so rich and nuanced it felt like silk on the tongue. Every bite was balanced, bold, and deeply satisfying.
El Basha isn’t just a dinner out—it’s the kind of dining experience that lingers in your memory. We’re already planning our next visit.

Delicious and romantic, the service is so lovely and they are calm and patient, atmosphere is great, and the food is so good.
