Great Palestinian restaurant! Dress conservatively.
Visiting from ATL. We got the Mix Mashawi for 6 people, fried cauliflower, and the falafel platter with extra falafel on the side. Food was very light and clean. Atmosphere was impeccable. Service AMAZING. They have so many servers you hardly need anything before they’re already there.
Servings size is great. We had a lot of food leftover, enough for all of us to eat a good plate the next day for leftovers.

Asalam aleikum love from PANAMÁ I definitely recommend this restaurant..If you are looking for authentic Arabic flavors, this is it.
The lamb was incredibly tender, and the babaganoush had that perfect smoky touch. Don’t leave without trying the falafel and the tabbouleh they are so fresh! To top it off, their lemonade is the most refreshing drink I’ve had in a long time. (Like my tropical country panama we love lemon drinks)
Btw..In our faith, we are taught that ‘The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others’, and the service here truly reflects that spirit. This isn’t just a meal..it’s a blessing for the soul.
May Allah (SWT) grant this business much barakah and prosperity. May you all be blessed with health and happiness. Gracias!

We went for dinner and ordered the mixed grill for two. The portions were generous, the meat was tender, and the chicken was juicy. Kebabs were excellent, and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was very quick, and the bread was freshly baked. The price was reasonable for two. We’ll definitely be back! Our server ali went above and beyond thank you

Families come here much like when I was a kid to eat good solid food at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the soujuk for its tart meatiness and the arayes for its sour note on a good bread. The pita is warm and fluffy too. From the mezze the labneh is good and the red pepper paste is extra delicious. I also like the Arabic salad.
The meats are decent. I would say the kofta is a bit dry as is the beef shish. The chicken is moist though.
The mint lemonade is great but the acid means you should drink slow.
The service is excellent and you really feel the welcoming joy of making people full of food. The place has a good soul and either good enough food or in some cases great food.

We were invited to this restaurant and tried a variety of appetizers and grilled dishes, and we were honestly blown away by how incredibly delicious everything was.
The bread was fresh, and every plate that came to the table was even better than the one before it.
The manager/owner was absolutely wonderful !!! He came by our table several times, was so kind, polite, and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
Hands down, some of the best grilled food ( Mashawy) I’ve had in my life.
The restaurant is excellent with a lovely atmosphere. Just make sure to make a reservation in advance, especially on weekends, as the wait time can get very long and even extend outside.

Go. Just go. We drove 2 hours to have our anniversary dinner here and it was 100% worth it. I would drive 2 hours just for their hummus with lamb chunks on top. Creamiest hummus I’ve ever had without being too grainy, garlicky, or lemony. They know what they’re doing with their cold spreads. If you go, make sure to get the hummus. Trust me. Great service and super friendly staff. Comfortable seating, good food, and generous portions especially if you’re going as two but even their mixed platters are very family-size friendly. Very Muslim-friendly semi-formal dine-in option (would recommend for a birthday or anniversary dinner). Here are some pictures of the food we got as reference although it’s half eaten because it was so good.

Hands down, the best and most authentic Middle Eastern food around! Will gladly drive 45 mins for a meal from here. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. Service is always amazing when we go, even when it’s packed. There’s a reason reviews are high and wait times are long. These guys know what they’re doing and they do it so well! Honestly, this is easily the best Palestinian/Lebanese restaurant in NJ.

Phenomenal food, phenomenal service, and phenomenal prices for how large the servings are. Went in 2019 and again tonight in 2026, phenomenal both times. Can’t recommend more.

Best service in all of the US by far for a middle restaurant. Great ambiance and the food is just phenomenal. All reasonably priced and delish options. Loved the service the most and will recommend anyone to go there just one complaint which is parking. I feel like this is an issue for many restaurants in the Jersey area!

We were really looking forward to trying Al-Basha and it definitely lived up to the anticipation. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, but it was worth it. As soon as we were seated, they welcomed us with some warm pita bread and pickled vegetables.
For drinks, we ordered a mint lemonade that was absolutely delicious. As an appetizer, we tried the cheese borek, which, to be honest, was a bit too plain for my taste. But the highlight was the mixed mashawi platter we shared. It came with filet mignon, chicken, kofta kebab, and shawarma. The portion was perfect for two people—very tasty, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. It also came with rice and salad, and we even had a little left over.
For dessert, we enjoyed a pot of mint tea along with a baklava . Parking is on the street, but overall, the service was very friendly and the prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely recommended
