Al Basha Restaurant & Cafe offers authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in a welcoming environment. The restaurant features a buffet with a variety of options, and the food is generally delicious. Guests enjoy the friendly staff and the vibrant atmosphere, which is described as immaculate and perfect for relaxed gatherings that can last for hours. Its late hours are appreciated, especially since other parts of the city quiet down after 9 pm. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with sufficient parking and entrance space.
Some guests have noted that the restaurant is beautiful and spacious, making it a comfortable place to dine. The hospitality is highly praised, with staff providing excellent customer service. The menu includes dishes like egg tagine with sausage & cheese, which many find lovely, though some mention that certain items can be heavy or greasy. Fries are seasoned and considered awesome, and the juice options are also great. Customers have enjoyed the lively atmosphere, and the restaurant is known for its diverse menu options, including falafel and Fatteh.
However, there have been reports of long wait times, with one guest waiting 50 minutes for their food, which can be even longer when busy. Some diners feel portions are small for the price paid, and wait times for food can be around 30 minutes. While the food quality is mostly good, some items like kebbeh are smaller than expected. The restaurant allows hookah, which may not be suitable for non-smokers. The cleanliness of the restaurant can vary, with some areas being dusty or poorly mopped. Nonetheless, the lovely tea and the possibility of trying hookah next time are appreciated by customers. Improvements in cleanliness and consistency could make the overall experience even better.
