When we walked in, we weren't greeted, but we sat wherever we wanted. As soon asbit became Maghrib time, we headed to the buffet table where there were about 8-10 items ready to be self-served. There was 1 lemonade type drink, 1 lentil, 3-4 fried items, 1 noodle, 2 types of rice, and 3-4 chicken curries. Once some dishes were emptied,they were not refilled. There was one pre-packaged dessert (Jalebi) abailable. Flavor wise everything was average, the beef in one of the rice dishes was tough. The spice level was mild of most dishes. I would definitely like to come back & try their lunch buffet outside of Ramadan. Give them a try!

From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in warmth--by the people, the culture, and the unmistakable love poured into every single dish. The food? Spectacular doesn't even begin to cover it. Every visit, I either try something new or let them choose for me (which I highly recommend), and without fail, I'm blown away. Not once--not ever--have I been disappointed. Every bite feels thoughtful, soulful, and deeply rooted in tradition. The flavors are rich, comforting, vibrant, and unforgettable. You can taste the care, the history, and the pride behind the food. And the people? Truly some of the warmest, kindest souls you'll meet--welcoming you like family, not customers. I can honestly say I'm being slowly--but very happily--converted. The beautiful food, the incredible hospitality, the culture, the entire experience... it's something special. The Olive Bistro isn't just a meal, it's an experience, and one I crave again and again. Do yourself a favor: go hungry, go curious, and go often. You'll thank me later.

For example, the chicken was just tough and another chicken dish was full of bones. The daal was watery and the pakaoras were cold. This is not acceptable. Service - non-existent. Other than bringing out bottled water that they charged us for, never saw the server again. We just kept piling up the plates on the table and that was that. Cleanliness - not good. The tables and the floor were grimy and the bathroom was horrendous, which says a lot since we were there at lunch. How bad could've it have gotten in the 30 to 45 minutes that they had been open? That tells you they do not clean. But what got to me was their dishonesty in pricing. The guy at the register charged me more and when I questioned him, he said that the prices had changed. I paid whatever he asked because I knew I was never going to go back and a few dollars did not matter, but when you have someone running a business in such an unethical manner, that is not a place you want to recommend or ever visit again.

Durum Doner is pretty close to the gym i go to which is good...and very bad! Lol Anyway, when i arrived I didnt notice the place right away and had to do a couple of turns. Inside was nice and cozy. It wasnt a very large place but had enough space to accommodate maybe 10-15 people? There is also outside seating. I bet its nice during a nice sunny weather. As you can see in the photos submitted by many Yelpers, the food looks very good! One of the things that caught my attention was actually how they prepare their plates and how nicely the meats were cooked. When i tasted my orders, they did not disappoint one bit! Chicken and beef were very flavorful and the smell that wafted inside the car as i was bringing them home was sooo darn good it was almost torture. The rice that came with the beef and chicken gyro was flavorful for some reason and the mix of "noodle strings?" was surprisingly very good. Pita bread was nice and soft although became a bit soggy after since it was placed below the meat. Perhaps it was also to catch the oil? Hmm. But either way, i was a happy customer today and ate my big fill...Fyi after a workout. Not good!! But sometimes you just have to be bad right? Will definitely be recommending this place!

I'd say the food is even comparable to Thai food in Elmhurst (Queens). Who would've known this gem is hidden in Paterson?? Love that they have northern Thai options on the menu as well.

I'm happy to report that spicy actually means SPICY here and they use all the right herbs and veggies in their dishes. I hope to visit in person one day!

The presentation of the food was excellent as well with a smoke show. The food was incredible too. I followed the reviews and got the smoked chicken which was a great choice. We also got the ribs and brisket. I definitely liked the brisket more than the ribs in case you are looking to make a choice. I got their special fries and I absolutely loved them. They were so lemony and garlicky. They have sauces that they serve with the food and some that are on the table as well. I think the sauces are definitely necessary. The meat is delicious but mildly seasoned. I live a bit far and I loved the food so much that I got brisket and smoked chicken to go as well.

We arrived on a Saturday the place was absolutely packed but we were seated within about 5 minutes. We were seated right near the smokers and it was so cool to watch them prepare each dish. The presentation here is phenomenal as is the quality of all the meat here. A fresh salad with oil was brought complimentary to the table and it was delicious. We ordered the Buffalo smoked chicken wings and Baba-Ghanoj for appetizers. The chicken wings were so tender that as you picked them up the meat literally fell off the bone! The sauce was subtle but had a nice Buffalo kick at the end. The baba-ghanoj was served cold and was perfect with a little sprinkle of salt. The fresh pitas paired perfectly with it. I'm glad I did my research on this spot as everyone recommended the fresh mint lemonade. Wow amazing and refreshing I love that it came out as a slushy like consistency. I could easily drink them all day and they're probably amazing to eat outside in the warmer months and enjoy. We each ordered the meat platters in 1lb portions which are served with fresh smoked rice that is so good and filling. I wanted the beef shank but sadly they were out and ordered the smoked beef short rib. They served everything on a platter for us which the presentation I must say is outstanding . My boyfriend ordered the smoked brisket and it was so tender and flavorful he kept saying "it's terrible you won't like it because he didn't want to share it at all LOL". We had no room for dessert but I cannot wait to return for our next dinner date night! I would definitely give it 4/5 stars. Nothing was terrible the only complaints I had is once we were seated and our order was taken our server asked if we want appetizers first which we said yes and everything came out at once. Which is fine not terrible just our table was packed and hard to eat. Additionally once our food came out it was hard to get anyone's attention for more drinks but it was no too much of an issue that it ruined the night as they were definitely way too busy and seemed to be short staffed. I definitely want to return and check out the rest of their menu. I highly recommend making the trip to Kanoon!

Al Basha is a beautiful restaurant with solid food, that I've been wanting to try for some time!!…read moreThough the parking is very difficult, especially on weekends, a nearby company (Imperial Valet) does offer $5 valet (plus tip), which helps a lot. On weekends it's walk-in only and the wait is usually 40 minutes to an hour. There was some confusion with our name on the list, but staff handled it quickly and got it resolved. We were started with a basket of three fresh pitas, which was a nice touch. Drink options include soft sodas (MX coca cola) tea, and lemonade and the mint lemonade stood out, very lemony and refreshing, but a bit on the cold side. We ordered the Al Basha mezze, substituting falafel instead of the meat patties (kibbeh). This is a great option if you want variety esp given most of the dips were pretty decent overall. The muhammara was the standout and the baba ghanoush was really good. The tabbouleh didn't work for me, imo the parsley could've been chopped finer. For the main, I had the chicken kebab platter with rice (you can choose rice or fries). It comes with garlic sauce. The chicken was tender and not bad, but the rice could use more flavor, maybe lemon or additional seasoning. Next time I'd probably ask for hot sauce or mix it with some of the mezze dips. Service moves quickly throughout most of the meal, though there was a bit of a wait at the end for the check. Gratuity is included, which is good to know / makes things easier! The ambiance is very nice, but I do wish we had a chance to be seated in the back half of the restaurant, which is where it feels especially vibey, but overall it's a beautiful space. This review is for the dine-in location on Crooks Ave, not their separate takeout spot. TLDR: Overall, Al Basha offers a lovely setting, fresh food, and a menu with enough variety that most people can find something they'll enjoy. While there are a few areas that could be improved, it's definitely worth trying at least once, and you may find something up your alley if you're looking for fresh Middle Eastern food in a lively, vibey restaurant.
