El Basha on Belmont St is one of the best spots in Worcester for authentic Lebanese food. The hummus, tabouli are fresh, the steak and chicken are tender and flavorful, and portions are very nice. Friendly staff, cozy vibe, and fair prices. Always a great experience here!

Their food is always terrific. There are several locations in Worcester & Metro-West. Go enjoy some hummus or baba.

The hummus is the best way to start your meal. Then the classic salad, because I'm old and remember the El Morocco salad. Chicken Port Saiid is my favorite. I also really like the chicken kebobs. The menu is always fun and the food is well-prepared. This is the original but all of the locations are run by the family. This is a don't miss for middle eastern food.

Worcester Restaurant Week is wrapping up, so we headed to El Basha - Worcester, MA on Route 9. We began with hummus & lamb sambusik. He chose the $29.95 deal, featuring a Greek salad & beef port saiid, while I had a salad with kofta. The rice pudding dessert was delightful. Great food & service from Natalie!

Picked up dinner for the family while dropping off our kid for college. Food is decent, but overpriced. A huge ❓about a 🇱🇧 restaurant with “Israeli” salad on their menu. 👎

El Basha what an incredible experience, A definite must try on your list of restaurant adventures. The food is so tasty, memorable and delicious. Your taste buds and pallet are in for a mouth watering adventure. The chicken Sharma sandwich was so tender and the vegetables are so fresh. The Shish kabobs were unbelievable, the flavor and aroma is a definite memory to keep one coming back. Homemade hummus, fresh bread, rice pilaf, salads and so much more! Oh, and let's not forget the baklava, I had the pistachio and I am definitely coming back for more! The best that I have ever tasted in my travels. The restaurants atmosphere was beautiful the chandeliers and the decor so relaxing. The restaurant is so clean. I was privileged to meet the owner and family. Old fashioned pride and honor taken in their business and it shows. I will definitely give this Restaurant a 💯% ! I am going back to try something else from the menu, looking forward to it real soon. See you there. There are 3 locations. Enjoy!

The beef fliet mignon tasted like lighter fluid. They don’t wait for the lighter fluid to burn before the put the meat on the grill. The appetizers were good but very small portions. The place is nice but the food isn’t impressive and not safe and not healthy to ingest fuel in the food. The only thing was tasty was the rice pudding they put rose water and cinnamon in it was amazing but the main dishes were so bad.
Great food, super nice people. It's a family owned business and everyone is so attentive and appreciative of you being there.

Wonderful smoky baba ganoush & crispy felafel.

Although the food was delicious service wasn't great. We were told our table wasn't ready for our 6:30 reservation. We were told they would be with us but instead our waiter was serving drinks and bopping around before coming to my party and telling us it would be a little bit longer. We requested a booth and got a table instead. Server knew what he was doing but was slow to come to our table. Again the food was delicious but the service could have been better.

Last month did a luncheon with a bowl of awesome tasting Lentil soup and a small bowl of hummus with Syrian fresh bread. It was all delightful. Had an exceptional afternoon shift waitress as well. She allowed me space coming from a funeral Mass no pressure on ordering . Take your time. I needed relaxation and she allowed that time for me chill before they closed to set up for evening opening. Will be back soon with some family members for sure

Met friends for lunch. Only a few tables so obviously quiet but thoughtful service and good food. A little hard to find because sign not facing street (where entrance to parking lot). Will definitely go again if have occasion to be in Worcester
