Good food, clean facilities, and a comfortable atmosphere. Sometimes that's exactly what you need. One thing I ALWAYS pay attention to is the restroom situation, and theirs stays clean every time I've been in. They even have hot water, which sounds basic, but we all know that's not guaranteed everywhere. From the moment you walk in, everything just feels comfortable. Plenty of seating, multiple TVs if you're trying to catch a game or just zone out while you eat, and air conditioning that actually works! Cause who wants to be sweating through a good meal? read more

New favorite Mediterranean spot! The plate portions are huge and well worth the price! Appreciate the options for chicken breast and also garlic sauce (unfortunately not all Mediterranean places offer the garlic sauce). Must also get the beef empanadas - perfectly flaky/crispy with flavorful filling. read more

Very good, very fast Ordered a beef shawarma plate - generous plate, with beef shawarma on top of white rice, with side of hummus, and decent amount of salad. Beef shawarma marination was on point, tahini was very good, hummus was even better without bread or spreading on pita bread. I will be back for sure to try more off the menu read more

One more thing to add. They slice the bread into two separate layers which is perfect for reheating. Take off the outer layer and reheat it in the microwave (just so it softens up). Wrap the innards in aluminum foil and reheat in the toaster oven to your desired crispness. Then rewrap the innards with the outer bread layer that's been softened and enjoy. This really helps if you have fries inside. No one likes soggy fries. Love their chill vibe and great service even to the delivery people. Saw them warn several Ubereats drivers ahead of time that a particular order will take a long time to complete which gave them a choice to wait or take on another order. That particular order had 4 different drivers attempt to pickup until the final driver was willing to wait 20 minutes for the order. Found a new appreciation for the delivery people. Tip them. They wait for your food so you don't have to. read more

Update *** upon searching their reviews on yelp and Google. It looks like multiple people have gotten sick from this location, though the manager insists that this has never happened and they all seem to have had the same experience, which is that the supervisor did not apologize at all . Utilized this restaurant for a catering and had an absolutely awful experience when we made the complaint of over 20+ individuals getting sick with a stomach flu, and the manager of the location got extremely defensive instead of offering apologies. He tried finding every possible rationale to indicate that his restaurant did not make us sick and was offended that such a serious allegation was made. The restaurant insisted that it had to be the breakfast or dinner, even though all of the folks that got sick did not have the exact same meals for breakfast or dinner, but they all had lunch from this venue. Half of the group does not work at the same place and we all came together specifically to have THIS lunch so there is no way that we all had something for breakfast or dinner that made us sick. This is also a doctor's office that focuses specifically on infectious diseases. So, he can try and fool other idiots, but not us. To top it off, he decides to make this claim that there is no way his perfect A+ FDA rating would allow for this. All that simply has to be done is to make an apology and take some form of accountability but to completely write off over 20+ people being extremely sick with diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea is ridiculous. The sad part is that the food was actually great and it's unfortunate that their leadership and management can't be an adult and take accountability for something that definitely made all of us extremely sick . read more

I used to live close by years ago when this place opened. I remember it being way better! The chicken is very small portion, but extremely greasy and fatty (such low quality meat)! They used to give two fluffy delicious pieces of naan. They included one piece of naan and it was flat, stale and gross. The salad was the best thing. The portion of the hummus was such a waste too, who eats that much? Probably because they want it to seem like it's worth the price, because it's not! I wouldn't come back! read more

Ive heard about how good this place is, and how much better it is than Zankou. I went here on the way back from visiting the Petersen before I crossed over the hill back to the valley. This place is certainly way better than Zankou. I ordered a half chicken/beef schawarma large wrap with 2 sides and a can of soda. It was around 22 bucks, so kind of average price for this food. The wrap was large and properly cooked outside with all the fillings and garlic sauce. I had a "greek" salad on the side and hummus. Salad was good but could have used feta. The hummus was good too but not earth shattering. It was a fine side. The shawarma quality was very good, and better than many places I've had in LA and Hollywood. I still think there are some better shawarmas, but the value and authenticity were good, and this place has been around for a while for a reason. Id probably try other things if I was in the area again and wanting middle eastern food. Is it worth going from the valley over the hill to eat? Probably not. If you are a Hollywood local its worthy of a weekly or more repeat eat. Certainly go there if you are on Sunset blvd and dont want to overspend on something pretentious and better than Zankou down the road for the same price. read more

This is a nice little middle eastern restaurant, with very good food. I placed an order to go for a kafta kabab sandwich with a side of falafel.

We meet the owners during an outing and got on the topic of food. I LOVE Mediterranean food, had some of the best and authentic when I was stationed overseas and some great deployment. While we live in Simi, the drive was more than worth it! The staff is great, friendly, and engaging. The food, of the food. I have had a lot of beef kabobs, but the meat here is exceptionally tender, and the flavor, omg! The FLAVOR. The Chicken Shawarma Wrap was amazing, too. The pitas were soft and just as I remembered from my travels, the cabbage in the wrap was flavored perfectly, and just delicious. Now... they have Greek Fries, and this is something new to us and glad we ordered them... DELICIOUS! One thing we noticed is that no matter who came in, it felt like they were welcoming family, including the three LAPD officers who came in for lunch. Oh, and I loved Zankou Chicken for years, but they have NOTHING, I mean NOTHING on Al Basch's chicken, hummus, or any of their other food!!! Don't let the strip mall fool you, the inside is beautiful, comfortable and as inviting as the people who work there. Whether you take a drive to get here, work in the area , or just a walk down the street, this is a must stop and worth every bite! read more

One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it.

New location with must try quality. I always heard about shawarma but didn't really get an experience until I came here. It is finger licking good. They have beef or chicken. I had the chicken and the next day had to come back for the beef. Not kidding. They have more things I will eventually try. Has a vegetarian menu as well. I'm more of a meat person. Service is super fast. Staff working always attentive and the place is brand spanking new. Even their bathrooms are above average. You'll believe all this when you go, I know. The owner is usually around and seems to be very genuine with everyone. They have my recommendation and Business. read more

I recently dined at this fantastic Mediterranean restaurant, and I highly recommend it! One of the best Mediterranean cuisines I've ever had. I ordered the beef kebabs with rice, pita bread, and a side of hummus, and everything was delicious! The flavors were spot-on, and the portions were generous. My wife tried the chicken wrap, which she loved just as much. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the place to go! Can't wait to return! read more

If you're on a quest for the ultimate chicken kebab, your search ends here. Al Bash's chicken kebab? Perfection on a plate. In fact, it's the only thing I ever order from there, because why mess with perfection? A heads-up about their garlic sauce, though - it packs a punch. Prepare to fend off vampires with a single exhale. But hey, a little potent breath is a small price to pay for this kind of deliciousness, right? So, if you want to test my endorsement, give it a try! read more

My friend ordered for both of us and we got: *Chicken Shawarma Wrap-broiled, marinated chicken breast shaved and rolled in a pita with garlic and pickles *Garlic Fries *Baklava Everything was very flavorful and clearly made fresh, although it was a little heavier than what I normally go for at lunch. The standout for me was definitely the baklava as you could really taste the honey and walnuts, and it tasted freshly made rather than overly sweet or stale like some places. Parking was also surprisingly easy since it is located in a larger shopping center with 90 minutes of free validated parking and most places there seemed to validate.

A part of me didn't care to give it a shot because I just hate finding metered street parking on Sunset or the surrounding side streets. I'm so glad a friend wanted to meet at Cava which is a few doors down from PKG. Turns out that Cava was closed due to some issues with their facility so we decided to walk over and try the kebab place instead. So glad we did. Parking It's is always a challenge in the area. During Mon-Fri 2 hr metered street parking on Sunset with no parking or stopping allowed between 4-7pm. On the bright side, no need to feed the meter after 7pm. So if you're going for dinner on a weekday, no need to feed the meters on Sunset if it's after 7pm. I think on Saturday and Sunday it's 2 hr metered parking 8am - 8pm. Food I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob with the avocado salad and a tzatziki appetizer to go with the chicken. The meal was delicious! The chicken was not only juicy and tender, but the flavor of the marinade on the chicken and cooking over the flame combined with dipping it in the tzatziki was incredible. Honestly, I've been looking for good tzatziki ever since having some at a random mom and pop Greek restaurant decades ago but have never been able to come close to the flavor and quality that I experienced back then until trying PKG's tzatziki. Service In regards to the service, it was excellent. The person who greeted and seated us was courteous and our server, I think her name was Casey, was delightful. Highly recommended!

They just started cooking the kabobs on an outdoor charcoal grill. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned and charred. Amillrilo Peruvian sauce is a must on the wings. I normally get the awake salad, which is by far one of the best salads I've ever had. The portion is absolutely huge it can be two meals if you wanted it too. The mezze platter was amazing as well. The beef and lamb mix on the kebab was very unique never had anything like that before. The meat was tender and juicy. Everything is cooked with olive oil.

They do catering for Netflix and a lot of the local entertainment companies so if ya come in the morning you'll see hundreds of plates being prepped for all their lunch orders.
