I took my mom here today for lunch. My mom doesn't have much experience with this type of food but she loved everything she had. The lentil soup was probably my favorite, but it's hard to choose. The mezze platter was diverse and everything was of good quality. It's also great value. Their hot teas are also very good - we had the mint and rose. My suggestion is to get here early - it gets crowded for good reason. Just FYI - you order at the counter by the register and then snag a table. Our food and tea was delivered quickly.

Let me start with the fact that the pricing on their website isn’t current. Thinking I’m gonna be spending $30 tops and then having them charge $42 is a little upsetting to start. Got the beef shawarma, but into at least 3 pieces of gristle before I decided I was done. Over priced, flavorless, and overall bad experience. Won’t be going back.

I could eat the gyro everyday !!! It’s soooo flavorful, oh my gosh !!!! The gyro salad is also a really good size !! The chicken shawarma isn’t my favorite, but the mango cheesecake was delicious !

Delightful as always!! Everything they make is fantastic!
Best middle eastern food in Omaha! Very reasonable prices too for both the quality and quantity of food you get for the price. Consistently tasty and fresh. The flavors are amazing, and the staff is welcoming.

Amazing food with very attentive staff. I thought they might forget us since we sat outside around to the side, but they didn't!
Besides cleaning tables and having the food brought out, it's mostly self service. Silverware is up by the counter, you order the food you want at the counter, and you seat yourself (you get a table marker). I am perfectly okay with this, but others may not be.
The whole restaurant looks a little pieced together but it's a hidden gem. Personally, I love the vibe the place has, feels more like your eating at a friend's when sitting outside.
Great service and very tasty food. I had the lamb platter and lentil soup.

Chicken Shawarma and Kafta platters are delicious. Great seasoning on the meat and very tender. Garlic sauce with the chicken is a must have and the vegetables had a nice char. Can't recommend them enough

We’ve been enjoying El Basha’s fresh Mediterranean cuisine for many years, and it’s consistently outstanding. The flavors are vibrant, the ingredients always fresh, and the menu offers something for everyone, including excellent gluten-free and vegetarian options. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet inviting. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, El Basha never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful Mediterranean food!
