Nadr helped me choose my food. It was delicious. He offered a piece of fried chicken. Wow. Definitely a must try. Poulet D’or. Did I say wow. Such a nice man.

A bit slow but the food makes up for it

April 19, 2024

I don't know where to begin. This Basha has started to sell Fried Chicken and honestly it was soggy and not crunchy at all. It tasted like water due to all sog... Pretty sure they were cooked either super early morning or were there from last night. Their burger was good because they made it fresh on the spot (it was crunchy) no complaints about that. What really did not make me happy was the fact I paid for the order, left a good tip before getting my order (never doing that again) and when it was time to serve my food (the cook accidentally put french fries in my plate) and left it at the counter for me to pick up. The cashier who took my order at the counter came ranting to him that my order was not a trio and confronted me about it as if it was my fault or I asked the cook to add fries to my plate... So guess what, the cashier asked the cook to take the fries out of my plate and then handed me the plate without the fries. Fries are not that expensive... If the cook accidentally added it, you don't have to make a huge fuss about it and take the plate from the counter and remove all the fries. Especially after I had left a tip of ~$6. It's just fries.

I've been coming to Basha for the past 10 years whenever I crave Lebanese food. I particularly appreciate the Mixte combo that includes chicken and beef. Very filling and worth the price. I recommend this place to all my friends. Fella at the cash is also friendly.

This was the best shish taouk I’ve had in a while. I order often from other places but this one was delicious! Very tasty! The salad wasn’t plain like some places, the rice was really good and potatoes were fresh, and meat was good, and pita bread was also fresh and soft!!! Update September 21, 2023: I ordered again a shish taouk plate and wow I think they changed a little of their recipe I don’t know what they did but it was delicious! Very tasty and fresh loved everything! I also tried their new chicken and that was also very good!

This the best Basha franchise i ve ever been to. Clean and cozy place, nice music playing in the background. The food is fresh and tasty. I ll highly recommend this place. The plate you see in the photo is a shish taouk plate which is rice chicken potatoes salad and garlic mayonnaise.

The person who welcomed me today was very kind. Generous portion, good comfort food!

December 16, 2024

the restaurant was empty the employees were busy talking we waited 7 minutes before answering us the tabbouleh salad is disgusting, it doesnt taste like grass to serve to cows. The cold potatoes are dry. The meat is too dry. In short, I strongly advise against this restaurant. I give it 0/10.

Really disappointing delivery experience. We waited 2 hours to have our order delivered despite the fact that we live very close to the restaurant. We called three times to ask what was happening and each time the person confirmed that the order would arrive in 5 minutes, having already left. The delivery man had to call us because the person at the restaurant had written our address wrong. In summary, very very disappointing and unacceptable service. The food arrived lukewarm-cold and the sandwiches werent even well filled. We expected at least to receive a descent command, taking into account the inconvenience. Its a shame because Ive always been satisfied when Ive eaten there but unfortunately I wont be returning. The person responsible for orders really missed the chance to get their act together and provide good service given the context. It was $50 thrown in the trash.

November 23, 2024

The meat in the kafta pita I received was raw in the middle. Luckily I cut the pita in half before serving myself otherwise I would have taken a big bite and risked food poisoning. I hope this is just an exception because I normally get shish taouk and its always delicious.

Delivery unrealistically too late. than expected and incorrect billing: $50 taken instead of $40. Obvious lack of professionalism, I do not recommend eating with thieves like them.

In case you want to be treated with respect, Im sorry, but this place doesnt seem to be appropriate for you. I had a very unpleasant experience. I had ordered a vegetarian meal, and the waiter asked me what rice I wanted. I told him brown rice . At this time, the chef who was cutting the meat said very bluntly to the waiter: Vegetarian, you understand, vegetarian. He then took the rice and threw it into the container before leaving. The waiter, as perplexed as I was, looked at me, then asked me the question again and I asked for the brownish rice again. The chef came back and looked at me like I was stupid, then asked me very aggressively: Do you want vegetarian or not?. I said yes, and he asked me, aggressively: Why do you want this rice? Thats when I understood and asked him if there was meat in the rice to be sure. He responded aggressively, Yes. The way this gentleman addressed me was very rude, assuming I knew all the ingredients, when I rarely eat there and dont work there at all. I dont understand this aggression, when he could have simply explained to me that the rice was made from meat. Theres a way to talk to people, whether its the waiter or me as a customer. In short, this gentleman needs training in communication, patience and anger management. Finally, I gave up my order and went to Basha, located near Jean Talon, where I enjoyed very pleasant service and a delicious meal, I must say.

Dish too expensive for the quality chicken is very dry the worst basha in Montreal. The chicken doesnt taste good, you can see that the chicken is a few days old and should be avoided! The employee who served me, however, was very polite and friendly.

FIRST TIME I CAN SAY IT S FRESH IN A LEBANESE CUISINE RESTAURANT EXCELLENT SALAD EXCELLENT SERVICE!

December 23, 2022

Zero customer service today February 4, 2022 I called the restaurant to place 6 orders of shishtaouk plates. The waitress is arrogant as she is without any value of customer service responds to me with an unpleasant tone that they dont do of orders in advance that we have to go there to place an order then I said that the person who came to pick up the order does not speak French she DARE TO ANSWER ME ITS NOT MY PROBLEM I understand that it is part of your policy that you operate like this that you do not accept orders in advance and I totally respect your decision but responding to customers is not my problem instead of explaining to customer the reason why you dont do it or suggest an option in order to satisfy customer service its a disappointment! I ended up buying only 2 plates because my children really wanted it but for me its over and as long as this waitress works there I wont set foot there again.

They should have purchased the recipes from the previous owner. Since the change the quality has dropped drastically and the taste is ordinary, to be polite.

December 23, 2022

Worst basha in this area, very racist staff, very cold not welcoming at all when you get in everybody that works there act like they didnt acknowledge you even when you say hello. Very very cold even when you smile at them they very very rude and not professional at all. The food is over priced compared to the other Bashas for their quality, they leave the food for too long and serve you with basically left overs from an old batch you can feel that it is not fresh when you eat it it taste like it was there since two days. The food is pretty much average and the hummus sauce dont taste like hummus sauce at all... really poor customer service. The cleanliness is not the best neither. Please avoid going there you might get sick they make your sandwich with out using gloves. The girl in front at the cashier is very rude as well. I would never go back there, its very disappointing to get a treatment like this. This place is to be avoided at all costs even if you are starving and thats the only restaurant open just go to McDonald. You better of getting your Shishtaouk at their competitors. My worst experience ever.
