" I was looking for a place that serves genuine Lebanese food, and El Basha fits the bill perfectly! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the friendly staff. The atmosphere is lovely, and I could tell I was in for a treat. I ordered the kibbeh, which was wonderfully spiced. However, I was a bit underwhelmed by the size of the serving. For the price, I expected a bit more on my plate. Regardless, I'll definitely be back for the authentic taste and friendly service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at El Basha! The highlight was definitely the fresh pita bread and the Mediterranean dips! Each dip was unique, and full of flavor. The restaurant seemed to have a lively vibe with families and couples enjoying themselves. The service was prompt, and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. I did notice the portions were a little on the smaller side, but the overall quality of the food made up for it. Would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Basha based on recommendations from friends, and while the food lived up to my expectations, the service was rather slow. The chicken shawarma was well-seasoned and delicious, and the tabbouleh had a refreshing zing. However, my friends and I were a bit put off by the lengthy wait to place our orders and receive our food. I’d love to give it another try on a less busy night, as I am curious about their other offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last night, and I can’t stop thinking about the flavors. The baba ghanoush was sublime, one of the better ones I've tried. The waiter mentioned the chef’s special for the evening, and I jumped on that! It was a mix of various delights including grilled fish and vegetables, and it did not disappoint. Everything was expertly prepared, but the night was punctured by a bit of a wait for our desserts. A minor drawback compared to the overall experience, I will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Basha feels like home! The familiar flavors coming from the kitchen remind me of family dinners. I particularly enjoyed the chicken schwarma, which reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, a perfect place for a family meal. I highly recommend trying the grape leaves. My only critique would be the slightly longer wait time for food on busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to El Basha for many years and have always enjoyed the food. It’s consistently good! That said, I felt my last visit lacked the magic they usually deliver. The lamb kebabs were slightly overcooked, which was unusual. The service was attentive, which I appreciated, but it’s the food that brings me back. I would go again and hope it’s back to its usual standard next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Basha was a culinary journey! I had the kefta kebab and it was bursting with flavor. The service was attentive, offering recommendations on dishes and wine pairings. The setting was cozy but suitable for larger groups as well. I left feeling satisfied and happy with my meal! Would definitely return for more indulgent food. " (*Curated Review*)
