Great spot. The food is fresh, the portions are big, and the quality is excellent. The dolma is tender, the chicken is juicy, the rice is flavorful, the salad is crisp, and the sauces taste homemade. Everything is packed neatly and holds together well. I’ll definitely order again.

Well seasoned food with good prices! The presentation and the season is there! Definitely a great experience when it comes to dining. Perfect for a date and something casual! The tables are well spaced but it’s definitely not fine dining. Keep it casual.
Will be back for the food! The grape leaves rolls and the chicken shawarma plate were amazing!
Rating the service a 3 because our server was just not it, not a great attitude and not a great demeanor. Still tipped well because we all have off days! Will definitely be back!
I recommend, overall, 4/5

Absolutely delicious, got the gyro plate and falafels and I haven’t had a meal that good for a long time.
Please open a place in Destin it would dominate in their market. Wonderful flavors and homestyle cuisine would compete in any market!
Please come lol

A great casual cafe.The dishes were well seasoned. The meat was a little over cooked which made it a bit dry but the flavor made up for it. Our waitress was friendly but was not readily available. They may have been understaffed. Overall we enjoyed our meal.

This rating is more about the sum of my experiences at Albasha as this particular visit was closer to a three. While the service was great and the atmosphere was ‘as expected’, this particular dish fell short. The lamb shank plate is pretty bland to look at and about the same in taste. Lumps of relatively plain meat that taste about as well as they look. Not bad mind you – just very plain. Perhaps the lamb shishkabob would have been a better choice for me. If it wasn’t for the feta salad, hummus, or even the rice – there wouldn’t be much here to talk about. The chicken schwarma, the combo plate, and the mousaka are all superior choices that I’ll return to (or try something new) over this dish. On that note, the other dish at the table (the reliable standby chicken schwarma) was reported to be great as usual. Edit: One two more recent trips i had the broiled redfish (very good) and the kickin chicken which may be one of my new favorites. Continues to to be a reliable place for a good meal.

The staff was great! Very polite very knowledgeable, my problem is not with the staff. But I just have to say, I’ve been vegan for 10 years and I don’t have a whole lot of options from restaurants. My favorite dish is the eggplant musaka. And the meatless grape leaves. My review has nothing to do against the customer service that I received here, but something is wrong with this particular locations recipe of the eggplant moussaka. And trust me, I tried ordering it there several times to be disappointed and I’ve eaten this dish from alabashas for years sometimes a couple times a week so I know what it’s supposed to taste like. Every other alabashas has the seasoning right, it has the appropriate amount of vegetables, tomatoes and peppers correct.. But, when I order it from here it is completely bland it doesn’t even taste like eggplant rosaka it barely has any vegetables in it mostly just onions and a few bell peppers maybe one tomato and The gravy is mostly oil and it looks orangey instead of being a reddish base with just a little oil, obviously.. No offense to the cooks but it is absolutely horrific here. I don’t know what’s the problem or if they don’t know how to make it, or what it is supposed to look like, and taste like,.. I really really would love for y’all to look into this so that I can enjoy my favorite dish here. I would love to be able to come here and get eggplant moussaka that tastes and looks like it does at the other alabashas restaurants. I would love for this to be addressed, because I KNOW THAT THIS RESTAURANT HAS GREAT FOOD!! Not only that, it’s clean and the staff is great! But, …this is a message to the owner, I have wanted to say something about this for a while.. But I never did because restaurants usually don’t care. Why would you go and fix your dish or take my word for it, right?.. So I I KIND OF FEEL LIKE I’M WASTING MY TIME saying something.. but, I would HOPE that you would want to know that this dish really needs some attention. And I say that respectfully. Thank you!.. everything else is wonderful!!

The variety of dishes looks great. We loved the grilled cheese appetizer, but the rest of the food wasn’t very tasty; köfte meat was very dry, gyro wasn’t the best either.

Had the chicken shawarma and gyros combination this time. Excellent!
Service was great as usual, no waiting for service for lunch, and food came out of the kitchen quickly. Restaurant was clean and smelled nice.
Given the consistent quality, this is my go-to place now. They are good value for the food and ride the edge of no frills date night and suit and tie, black cocktail dress date night rather well. The latter will be a bit unusual but the decor lends itself well to either one.

This is not authentic Lebanese but you need to know unless it’s Lebanese or Syrian making (Lebanese) food it won’t be authentic..they miss every time on spice and flavor.. the Hummus here was bland and missing tahini paste for flavor and it was ground into almost a yogurt..the bread was also flat and different..the chicken had good flavor but was thinly sliced imo.. I been to over 200 Lebanese places and this was a bottom place..I even asked where the owners were from they said Jordan..it’s definitely a Jordan type cooking as I have experienced same missing flavors in other Jordan owned places..
