Al Basha Restaurant

We ordered from here last night and were so disappointed. We were really looking forward to the shawarma and ordered two beef shawarma wraps, a falafel wrap, a make your own bowl, fried cauliflower, and Basha fries. One bite into the wrap and it was so salty it was inedible. Made your lips burn, dried your mouth out, just altogether unpleasant. Tried the falafel wrap, same thing. I thought it was the filling until I tried the fried cauliflower. The cauliflower itself was delicious but as soon as you got a piece with sauce from the bottom it was overly salty again. I truly believe someone made a mistake and dumped way too much salt in the sauce but it ruined all of the food. The fries were tasty but at that point our pallets were so overwhelmed with salt we didn’t want to even eat them. It was not seasoning and flavor, just pure salt, like eating a spoonful. I once was making a beef stew and went to pour in more salt directly from the cardboard container and the whole top broke off so the whole container went in, it tasted like that did. We threw away the lot, hopefully this was a one off mistake but not sure we want to spend $100 again to chance it.

Fantastic!

Wow. This was the best thing I’ve ordered in a long time. And in the Bronx at that. Huge portions, beautifully seasoned, rich flavors. So good!

Food reminds me of home in Detroit. The best middle eastern food i've found in the bronx. It always tastes like it's made with love. The bread & hummus is amazing. So soft please let me order extra bread!!! Dietary restrictions: Halal

Absolutely Mouthwatering, Super Flavorful

I really wanted to order the food; it looked delish; but then I saw an “arab salad”….cmon, really? Why do we call an authentic Israeli salad an arab salad now? So, anyway, I ended up with another place for apparent reasons…giving this place three stars for nice pictures of their food online
