Extremely delicious! I have passed this place numerous times and today was the first time I stopped, but certainly not the last. I probably will forever order the same thing. Make sure you ask for extra garlic sauce on the side. You'll want to put that on everything! read more

Al Bacha - 19. Albacha Deluxe Plate Combo Meal - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I am Greek/American. This place is an insult to Mediterranean cuisine, as they claim to serve. Al Bacha is middle eastern, not European, where Greece resides. It saddens me that people don't know the difference. Two distinctive clues, of the many...lettuce does not belong on a Gyro or curry! I was thoroughly disgusted to find it on what they have the nerve to call Gyro. It's Greek To Me", sadly closed. The Greek Festival in October honors the country's recipes and traditions. Even the name "Al Bacha" is a middle eastern name. read more

Omg. Since our Greek place on 6th Ave closed we've been looking for another place. Well, this is IT! I've tried several around the Tacoma area, meh. But this place is so good! Nice staff, clean dining room, AND both Coke and Pepsi products! (Which in spite of popular opinion are NOT interchangeable!) And the food! So fresh and flavorful and delish! The best Greek food I've had in Tacoma. read more

This was delicious. I had the Chicken Shawarma sandwich. I actually had it two nights in a row it was that tasty.

Stepped into Al Bacha for lunch and was already thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment and how busy it was. With an extensive menu and open seating, it made it an easy place to grab a meal and have a seat. One thing that stood out to me was that everything was made to order and the portion sizes, can easily be family style if need be. The lamb and chicken was well seasoned, hummus tasted as though it was house-made and the fries has a perfect crisp to them. One thing to note and only one this, we definitely needed a knife! Other than that, would be back again to try Greek fries and shawarma burrito. Great addition to Tacoma! read more

Located in downtown Tacoma. Walking distance from the Tacoma Convention Center. We stopped here for lunch while attending a tournament at the Tacoma Convention Center. Small establishment, but very clean and well maintained. Our first impression was great. The menu is on display; we can choose items and order at the counter. They will serve it on the table once the food is ready. There have been a few customers already dining in or waiting for food when we walked in. We ordered an Al Bacha Falafel, Gyro Chicken and Beef & Lamb sandwich with Fries on the side. Almost 15+ minutes for the food to arrive; but considering the rush it was fast. The presentation of the food was simple but elegant. The portion was decent. Really enjoyed the sandwiches. The falafel sandwich stood out - the falafel was lightly crispy but well cooked - delicious with the sauces in it. The meat sandwiches were also great. The meat was tender and juicy. Really worth the walk that afternoon. Service was great; friendly staffs. Quality food. Enough space to sit, relax and enjoy the food. Great spot! read more

Pretty solid Mediterranean food in Tacoma. Portions are large and everything is fresh/ made to order. A lot of different combo meals, salads or sandwiches to choose from. The fries are def better enjoyed there vs take out so they don't get soggy. read more

Al Bacha - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I used to order shawarma from a place that's 5 min away from me but the quality has gone downhill about two years ago. I have ben trying to find a new spot for months. I am glad I found this on Doordash. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap for my husband and the shawarma rice for me. The servings are huge. There's also a lot of meat, not just all rice. Surprisingly, it's also cheaper than the other Middle Eastern places I have tried. I will be trying other things on their menu as well but so happy that I now have a new place to get my Shawarma fix. read more

We were in Seattle looking for a quick bite. These guys weren't busy and we all love mediterranean food. They did not disappoint! It's counter service, but the woman was very helpful. The place was clean. The food? AMAZING! We had falafel plates with hummus and baba ganoush. I've had these in many places and this was one of the best. Check it out! read more

The food was delicious. Our wrap and sandwich had an interesting and yummy sauce. The vegetables on the sandwich were all super fresh and crunchy. We will order from here again. read more

Got the regular gyro combo, it's comes with fries and a drink. The gyro itself was fantastic loaded with meat and veggies flavor packed in every bite.

I happened to pass this restaurant and had never seen it before! I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did! This will become a go-to when in the office. The food was absolutely delicious.

Al Bacha - Chicken Kabob Meal - Chicken, Veggies, Rice, Garlic Sauce, Salad, Hummus & Pita - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I have been to at least 10 different Mediterranean (gyro) places in both Tacoma and Seattle. I have to say, this place gets the gold for me, specifically their gyros. I have been here 3 times now and tried both the chicken and lamb/beef gyros. Not only have they tasted SO good, they've been CONSISTENTLY good, and this makes me want to continue returning! Their meat is so juicy and tender, the marinade is super flavorful; portion is very generous with both meat and veggies; and the presentation is always neat and makes it easy to eat. Have to specifically mention their tzatziki sauce - fresh! Service is always amazing here. The lady at the cashier always makes the visit easy and friendly. What a gem! read more

This was a great spot to eat if you're in Tacoma. The prices are a little on the higher side, but definitely worth it--the flavor profiles of the dishes are amazing. I got the chicken kebab, and it was so delicious. The seasoning paired perfectly with the rice and salad, and I loved the spicy flavor. My boyfriend got the chicken shawarma, which had a bigger portion of meat. The chicken had more of an Italian-style seasoning--not bad at all, but I personally preferred the spice on mine. The staff was really nice and explained the menu well. I even noticed the cashier helping a woman who seemed like a regular--they shared friendly conversation, and it felt like they really know their customers. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but still a great spot for dining in. read more

I'm in Tacoma for work and was craving some Mediterranean food when I stumbled upon Al Bacha--a modest spot that turned out to be an absolute gem. I ordered the Chicken Tawook Plate, and wow! I was not expecting the incredible burst of flavors I got. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with an amazing blend of spices unlike anything I've ever had. Every bite was so good that I finished my entire plate and immediately started thinking about coming back tomorrow! If you're in the area and love bold, flavorful food, Al Bacha is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend! read more

Al Bacha - 20. Chicken Tawook Plate Combo Meal - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Al Bacha is a newer restaurant that opened in downtown Tacoma. I kept forgetting to go here for a while but finally did remember a few Fridays ago to give it a try. I did a take out order for a lamb gyro and that went pretty well. It wasn't long before my order was ready. The gyro itself was good. Ingredients were fresh and the meat was tasty. It made for a very good lunch. I didn't realize just how much salt was in the gyro though as later on I got thirsty for water and had several glasses of it during work which isn't quite a routine for me. I will make an order here again however but perhaps will try their hummus sometime. read more

Al Bacha - My lamb gyro from Al Bacha. - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The area is a bit dodgy. We found parking behind the restaurant. We ordered a falafel sandwich and a chicken shawarma sandwich. The size alone is xx-large. The falafel was fresh, warm, and tasty. The shawarma was hot and very flavorful. The fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were outstanding. They were the freshest vegetables I have ever had on a sandwich. The service was great! We ate them in the car. Mmmm not a good idea because the sandwiches were full Would I go back, oh yeah! Delicious! read more

Delicious! Got the lamb gyro and the shawarma chicken plate. Tremendous. Worth the price. Huge portion size, great for sharing. Service was friendly. Food was fresh. Quiet ambiance. Good for a small group. Lots of locals. read more

We came here on a whim during a trip to Tacoma. This place was amazing! The chicken gyros was so fresh and flavorful. Loved the Garlic Sauce that came with the fries. Service was very friendly and the place was clean ! Can't wait to come back read more

It seems upon reading other positive reviews - that I had a different experience and perhaps it was an off day for the kitchen. We both ordered the lamb Shawarma . The lamb , rice and hummus were very pedestrian and all lacked flavor. It was pricey, and unfortunately not satisfying . read more

Mediocre at best. The meat did not taste fresh and the rice and soup were clearly a few days old. We asked for extra lemon for the lentil soup. If you're craving authentic middle eastern food, this is not it. read more

Meh. The food was nowhere near the level of the Al Bashas in Seattle. I'd rather go to freight house square for shawarma

I read some good reviews and thought I would try it out on my way leaving Tacoma to go back up north. Very large portions, great service, friendly people, and if you spend more than 15 in cash, you get a free can of soda. I will be back, highly recommended this place! read more

Al Bacha - Al Bacha special #13 - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Terrible service the girl with the scarf is so rude she immediately was having an attitude and has the worst customer service. Since when do places hire such people now. Will never come again . I can't even give them half a star. I was so excited to try the food I've heard good things about it but the service is so trash. Don't recommend for anyone don't waste you money here. read more

Baklava are always good from here! We had recently gotten the falafel sandwich and wrap.. both were good, but lacked in much flavor/ spice. It was quick service and easy to order and pick up. The store front itself is cute and small at the corner and away from the usual crowded pac ave area in downtown Tacoma. Parking is still challenging but they have alley parking around the corner! read more

We had a party to go to and wanted to bring some middle eastern finger foods, so we called Al Bacha and ordered grape leaves (dolmas) , hummus, falafel and baba gounosh. They were able to have it ready in two hours, well packaged and ready to serve. The food was a big hit! read more

I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with lentil soup. First let me start off by saying I have had chicken shawarma many times from different places and sometimes it's made with ground chicken, which I hate.. this was not one of those places, perfect! It was delicious! The lentil soup was something I've never had before and I can attest it is delicious! Very creamy and lemony. I highly recommend this place :) read more

The food is very good quality. They don't skimp on portion size. My meal was actually 2 meals that day! Keep up the good food and work Al Bacha! read more

First time trying Albacha. Absolutely FANTASTIC! Kofta had great flavor, the Deluxe plate meats (Gyro Chicken especially) are seasoned to perfection, both plates were cooked well, and the pita was perfection. I recommend asking for the hot sauce and Taziki sauce. We've been back 2 more times! read more

This is a second location for Al Bacha with the original being in Seattle. I ordered the lamb gyro and it was delicious. It came with fries and a drink. I like that the meal was around 15$ and relatively quick. They stay open until around midnight on the weekends so would definitely be a great spot for a late night snack after a few drinks at the many nearby bars. The inside has seating for approximately 18 people, I ordered to go so wasn't able to really rate their service. Over all if you're in the mood for a gyro of falafel I recommend this place. read more

Best Gyro I've had and since it's one of my favorite sandwiches, that says it all. Whenever in Tacoma it's my spot.

Great price, tasty, and filling! Ordered through Uber and everything came as ordered (no styrofoam too!). Good to see a more authentic option in Tacoma now. They even had harissa sauce which has honestly been hard to find at other places around here. I got the Albacha Falafel Sandwich and Greek Fries. This was plenty! The sandwich was super good and the falafel was crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. Greek fries were just right, not undercooked or soggy! My picture doesn't do the sandwich justice but TRUST, it was good! read more

We stopped by Al Bacha Saturday afternoon around one during Tacoma Pride. We sat at tables on the sidewalk. It was definitely a very busy day but they were handling it well. I had the beef and lamb salad and my partner had the Chicken gyro. Both were excellent. My salad was huge, loaded with gyro meat over a lettuce salad with tomatoes and red onion. It was great. My partners gyro had lots of chicken chunks and lettuce, tomato and onion wrapped in a pita. Very tasty. Service was quick, gracious and the prices were great. I want to go back, Tacoma has very few options for Middle Eastern food and this was very good. read more

Delicious fast food! Friendly people. Their servings are very generous too. I highly recommend.
