    a grocery store filled with food
    Meli R.

    This place is clutch!!! Every time we crave Arab food we come here!! Authentic and delicious food!! We purchased the tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, kibbeh, & tzatziki. I recommend these items to everyone! Especially if you're looking for natural dips and sauces that will add delicious flavors to you meals! They have a market in the front side of the shop and a small deli looking area in the back which is where they have the food. They make fresh tabbouleh, rice, grape leaves, kibbeh and many more delicacies. I believe this shop/restaurant is family owned and operated which makes the service top notch.

    The best Middle Eastern food I have ever tried in the whole Miami. Baklava is to die for and food is fresh and so tasty, we always get our food here for special occasions.

    I stumbled across Al Basha when I was actually looking to have lunch at a different spot next door. A sign on the door said they had gyro's and I decided to try it out instead. The place is a Middle Eastern super market with a few authentic items for purchase. I wouldn't know how to cook any of it (I'm cuban and basically make rice with every meal) but I would imagine this is helpful for those looking to cook authentic Middle Eastern Cuisine. Towards the back is a small area where you can purchase foods like kibbeh, taboule, gyro, etc. I was disappointed to see that some of the food was being heated up for another guest by a microwave in front of his face but the man didn't seem to mind as he seemed like a regular and ordered 3 platters. The man that assisted me was extremely nice and helpful! I asked for a lamb gyro. Luckily for me, my lamb was cooked on a grill and he put the gyro together in front of me, adding tons of toppings. I got back to work to have my gyro and the explosion of taste was INCREDIBLE. I wish it was bigger so that I could have eaten more! If the rest of the food tastes as good as the gyro did I see myself coming back often!

    Very authentic Arabic food. Their baklava was the best I've ever tried! And I love the date cookies, not too sweet. A lot of flavor. I wish my food came warmed up though, it was pretty cold when we picked it up, but other than that, great place if you're craving real Arabic food!

    Middle Easter Market & eatery!!!... craving for middle eastern food???...good chance will be good! Went to browse what's around... to my surprise and great findings a meal that I can make up at home... or just eat it there. Well next I'll try your food Al Basha. You carry good ingredients, good brands too!!!... different from other Middle Eastern markets! Either make falafel, kibbeh, humus, tabouli... it's all here to make it as you please. Some people say it's easier when you just go and eat it... but what better way to help yourself unlimited times when you are making it at home..????? With great ingredients that you can get at Al Basha???

    Can you believe this restaurant has been around for 21 years?! I've been passing by this shopping plaza for yearssssss and have never noticed it till I walked into the Subway next door. Instantly caught my eye with the gyro window advertisement. I'm sorry but when you walk into a Mediterranean/Arabic location, you don't expect the staff to be speaking in Spanish to the cute little viejitos they were tending to. That's amazing! And the best part is that it seemed like the customers were regulars there because I had the viejito ask about the young guy (maybe part owner of the business) for his mom and how was she doing. I loved that! The customer service was spectacular. And although I didn't get his name, but the gentleman had long hair in a pony tail and light eyes. He was suggested the kibbeh combo and since I had never tried it, I gave it a shot. DE-LI-CIOUS!! Everything is made in house. The food had great flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with this hole in the wall. And their prices can't be beat! I'm so happy I came across it. Their baklava is to die for. And how cool is it that it's also a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern mini Mart too?? One stop shop! Looking forward to going back and trying something new off their menu :)

    I love in Doral and this is almost the closest one to us. It has a good variety of middle eastern goods. I went to buY semolina flour, needed the fine and coarse kind and found them both. They also have Arabic foods. I tried the falafel and kibbeh. They were good. The grocery items are a little bit expensive than some other places, but it evens out because of the distance.

    Grill area. Friendly guy.

    Got the kofta kabob platter, along with chicken shawarma & beef as sides. Also kibbeh & falafel. Everything was good. The guy was really nice & attentive to me. All of the meat were a bit dry though. Total was $18 something.

I have noticed this one on Yelp, but because it is not near my home, I have not taken the opportunity to visit. However, tonight, I was going to be in the area and took the plunge and am I so happy that I did. Talk about a beautiful restaurant that is both welcoming and consistent with the theme of its food and add to that excellent service and the best kebabs and falafel. I have tasted since moving to Florida and you have a real winner here. The Baba Ganesh hummus and other dips are just wonderful. The pita is fresh. I really cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed my meal here. So much so that despite the distance, I will certainly be returning. As a sidenote, I was hesitant when I saw the plaza that the restaurant was in, but think oasis in the desert. Once you walk in your in a world of wonderful food and service.

Both dishes came with 2 sides which were homemade deliciousness. We were later told the owner of the restaurant is the actual chef to ensure the food is authentic. For dessert we had baklava and a hot cheese dish I don't recall the name of and coffee. Everything was fingerlicking spectacular! Will def be coming back for more!

    Two of the things attract me to try a new place are local neighborhood restaurants and family owned…read morebusinesses. This one checked off both of those boxes. And so I have now visited three times. Or I should say two since one was a delivery order. This is a rather long review so in case you don't wanna read the whole thing, here's the summary. This place is great. Food is great. Service is great. Restaurant is beautiful. Done. Now everybody else, please read on. I will start with the delivery order. I had a desire for falafel for lunch and found the excellent reviews of this particular restaurant and figured I would give it a try. Did the order through DoorDash and received it much quicker than expected. The falafel was exceptional. Shaped a little bit strangely because they overloaded the scooper to give you more, it was expertly seasoned, freshly made, and delicious. Definitely within my top three in Miami and being right near my home will sit at number one on my list. The fact that they were able to get the order out to DoorDash and arrive at my home still warm, gets it extra points. But the delicious flavor, crunchy on the outside soft on the inside, and even a delightful aroma was really overwhelming. Paid for six got seven! Recently paid for five elsewhere and got four. Again extra points for a wonderful portion. But then look at what is surrounding it. Excellent smoky flavored eggplant. Delicious lentils and rice. Exceptional hummus. Fresh pita. Not a fan of tabouli to begin with so I won't comment except to say it was as good as it gets. Overall, I loved everything on the plate and loved everything about it. Came here for lunch one day with my wife. She had a falafel sandwich which I didn't take note of as I should have because I was so overwhelmed by my delicious lamb Shawarma platter. Again with all the best sides and the baba ghanoush was as good as any I've ever had. But the lamb was so moist and savory and tasty. I've gotta say that their attention to flavor is evident in everything that they serve. And then my other visit. This one was breakfast. Boarded my puppy last night so that my wife and I could have a romantic evening out for her birthday and picked her up this morning and wanted to take her for breakfast. Was thrilled to see that pesto Café and Grill as outside seating. I ordered the lox omelette and a side of bacon. I had coffee and they brought her a nice bowl of water. It does not come with a bagel so there is an up charge which I found mildly annoying but I wanted to try the full experience so I ordered anyway. It also comes with hashbrowns, which I wasn't particularly interested in, but it came with the meal. They make their lox omelette with onions and capers, and I noticed some green onions as well. They also use cream cheese, which I'm not generally a fan of. Since moving to Miami, I see way too much cream cheese being used in way too many ways. What is with this Miami obsession with cream cheese? Some places even put it in my sushi. Blasphemy. Oh but that's not part of this review perfect; for this review I am going to reverse everything I isually say about cream cheese because the flavorful way that they blend this imtoy the omelette as a condiment and not something that overpowers the other flavors was spectacular. I could not enjoy it more. The bacon was a huge order and was cooked perfectly. I hate sloppy greasy bacon. It was as if they knew exactly how I would want it served. Or maybe they just have good taste and serve it like how I like it. My waitress, Kayla was exceptional as well. But the service did not end there. Multiple people from inside came out periodically to make sure that I was happy outside and had everything I needed; that my coffee was full, and my water glass was filled and my table was cleared to unused dishes. They even made sure my dog had water and kept an eye on her water bowl so that it did not get too empty. Who does this? I'll tell you, they do. Eat here I know you will get great food made from the best ingredients and cooked perfectly and served treating you like they you as a customer. Even after I paid, they continued to come outside and make sure I didn't need anything else and fill my coffee without pushing me to leave and allowing me to enjoy my wonderful breakfast. And then to relax and enjoy the beautiful day out in front of their restaurant and be pampered. I didn't just feel like they cared, I realized that they really do. I will be back. Often. I will order from DoorDash from here. Often. And I will recognizing this on social media and recommend it to everyone I know. Often. Because you do not come across a place like this very often.

They were responsive, flexible with the setup, and helped organize the seating so our group felt comfortable while still enjoying the energy of the restaurant. For a group of around 50 people, the space worked very well and still felt intimate rather than crowded. The food was one of the highlights of the evening. Guests loved the variety of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, especially the fresh mezze, flavorful grilled meats, and delicious desserts.
