Very good home cooked food. I often get grilled lamb and fatouch salad with their fresh hummus appetizer. The atmosphere is relaxed and the people couldn’t be nicer.
Such a great place. Excellent service and atmosphere. We like to go here with friends because we can actually hear each other! Food is always fresh and consistent.

I felt this place is Americanized and its far away from the authentic Lebanese cuisine, Fooul Mudamas is not at all what its supposed to be like, bread is served cold , the lamb chops are simply bland , the lamb cubes also tasteless , salad has no crotons, chicken cubes were seasoned well, kofta kebab had some flavor , instead of tatziki white sauce being given Tahini when asked with the rice platter.
This place may suit American crowd but people who looking for actual Lebanese cuisine its an absolute No.
I wish them all business and profits but it doesn't suit the taste of people who are used to the Authentic flavors back from home.

My Husband and I have becoming to El Basha for years. They always treat us like family and the food is amazing. Our favorite dishes are the Tabouli, Fattoush, Hummus, Port Said, Lamb Chops and the Stroganoff. Best Lamb Chops in Massachusetts, coming from a girl who lived in Greece for 20+ years.
We announced our first pregnancy with our family here, get together with friends. Plus our Vegetarian friends love it here as well!
The Service and Wait staff are incredible

We came past 1pm. I ordered mixed grill plate and my friend the swordfish. I thought the food was a bit bland especially the fish. had to remind the server to give my friend her water because she apparently forgot. The table adjacent to us had better and prompt service even though we came before them. Not even once did she ask us if we need anything or how we are doing compared to other tables. I had to call and remind her again of my tahini and hot sauce but she only came with the tahini. It took time for her to give us the check and to come back to process the payment. Overall, food and service is mediocre. I won’t recommend.

We went for a birthday celebration and didn't enjoy it . Almost all food items were not available. Drinks were also not available. We orderd something from available option and that came out raw ( not cooked) we asked them to replace and they got it back same how it was jut warmed it up littel bit. Would not recommend it.

El Basha is nice neighborhood restaurant if you live within 15-20 minutes, otherwise it might not be worth the drive. We had the El Pupu Platter (like a Mezze Plate) - there's a good variety and it tasted good but a little overpriced for the amount of serving. The beef shawarma was what we came for, but was disappointed. It came shredded and no wrap (pita). Our server was a little bit distracted e.g. forgot one of 4 drinks, did not provide utensils, no cream/accompaniments for coffee. All in all, food was passable, the servers were very nice and had a nice, clean and modern ambience.
We absolutely love El Basha in Westborough. The owners are so welcoming and make you feel right at home every time. The food is consistently amazing — easily the best Middle Eastern cuisine in the area.
Some of our favorites are the Port Said, fresh fish, lamb chops, and Beef Filet Stroganoff — all incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish.
Service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We’ve been here many times and it never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious food and great people.

El Basha, especially at their Westboro location, never disappoints. The service is always friendly, and the Mediterranean dishes—from appetizers to entrées—are consistently fresh and delicious.

I enjoyed a wonderful meal at El Basha. The food was delectable and a very generous serving. The service was impeccable. The ambiance is on point. This was my first visit but it won't be my last.

El Basha is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and rich with the scents of authentic Mediterranean cuisine. But what truly elevated our night was the exceptional service — and for that, we owe a huge shoutout to Catherine Mechael.
Catherine wasn’t just a waitress — she was a guide, a host, and honestly, the calm in the storm when we were overwhelmed by all the delicious options. Cool as a cucumber, she walked us through the menu with such grace and patience, helping us pick the perfect combination of dishes we never would’ve discovered on our own. Her recommendations were absolutely spot on — every bite was bursting with flavor.
If you’re headed to El Basha (and you absolutely should be), ask for Catherine. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. This place is a five-star experience from start to finish.
The food was amazing. I got the lamb kebab and it was perfectly medium. not to mention, our server, catherine, was a delight. she was extremely sweet and warm and i will definitely be back.
