Especially during this pandemic, I wanted to give them extra love. I had ordered through an uber eats app and found them after seeing my regular food place closed today and was willing to try something new and I'm so glad I did! Meat was perfectly seasoned and I love their spicy rice! Although I had just ordered, I'm already tempted to order more and try all of their other dishes. Awesome portions and great presentation. For anyone interested, I had ordered a Beef Tikka Kebab plate & a chicken tikka wrap.

It's a small restaurant with just few seatings and a counter. Inside was pretty empty. Looked authentic as everyone in there were African people and seemed to be speaking African language. We sat down and looked at the menu. Menu is small but offer authentic Ethiopian dishes. I ended up getting some samosas to start, spicy lentil, mixed veggie and beef. Had chai tea. Chai tea was nice and hot, chai flavor with subtle sweetness and creaminess. The samosas were fresh, steaming, crispy, and hot on the inside. Came with a dipping sauce the has bit of acidity. All the types were good but beef was my favorite. We got Ethiopian platter with meat. It came with large anjero which is a spongy fermented flat bread which feels and look like a pancake. It came with 5 different dishes on top which consisted of lentil mix, beef and vegetables, cauliflower and eggplant, chicken and veggie, and collard greens and vegetables. You scoop up the dish with anjero and eat them together. I've never had this kind of dish but it was very interesting and tasty. It had lots of vegetables and was large portion so even sharing with another person, I feel like i got really full and got my vegetables for the day. Everything was spiced and flavored well and reminded of authentic home cooking. Even though that taste of the food wasn't mind blowing it was hearty, soulful and healthy food that leave you feel satisfied. The service was excellent. The server which i think is the owner was very nice and helpful. Being relatively new to Ethiopian cuisine he was able help us navigate what to expect and order and answer any questions. He was very friendly and almost felt like a fatherly figure. Overall this place is definitely a hidden gem. If you want to try authentic Ethiopian soul food. I highly recommend visiting. Food and service were excellent. I enjoyed the experience and i was glad that i was able to try new type of food i've never tried before. These kind of family owned local restaurant are what i like to and want others to support.

I had only been to one Ethiopian restaurant before and enjoyed the food there, so I was eager to…read moretry this restaurant. The man working there was friendly and welcoming and we got an Ethiopian anjero platter with three vegetable stews, beef, and chicken. Everything was delicious and tasted healthy and fresh. I think I preferred both meat stews and the mixed vegetable stew over the lentils and eggplant stews, but everything was great. I'm going to have to clarify this next time maybe, but the stews came atop a large anjero that tasted a bit more sour than the smaller ones that came on the side. We remember the bread from the other Ethiopian place we've tried in the past to be more sour than both of the ones we had here. I looked it up and it seems there's a difference between the Ethiopian anjero (larger and more fermented/sour) and the Somali one. I like both, but it was just interesting to learn.

We were craving Mediterranean the other night, and after seeing other Yelp reviews for Tandoori we…read moredecided to give them a shot. So happy we made that decision. We went with the chicken wrap, lamb tikka platter, spicy naan, hummus, and baklava. The stars of the show we're definitely the chicken wrap and spicy naan. I was super impressed with the size of the naan. It was larger than most frozen pizzas at the store! The chicken wrap was super fresh and covered in a nice tzatziki sauce with a blend of other goodness that truly delicious. The owner of the restaurant, and his crew were super friendly and helpful in selecting which dishes to order. While we were there, there was a constant stream customers picking up takeout orders, which is definitely a good sign. They have a few tables inside to eat at but I think this is definitely more of a takeout place. This was a great meal and we will definitely be back!

Not only is he the owner, but also the cashier and chef. One man show! The food is made to order and not frozen, which is appreciated. The chicken wings I would rate 3.5/5, nothing too special, just usual wings. The beef kebabs were a 4/5. Again, nothing too special and imo were just a tad bit over cooked; it wasn't too juicy. However, the portion size is very good and the Tzatiki sauce is chef's kiss. The order took about 10-15 min to come out because again, it's made to order. The inside of the restaurant was strangley warm so we waited outside for our order. Overall, not too bad but I would like to see what else this restaurant has to offer!

It is possible that the ambiance will cause you to halt when you first come in because it is somewhat humble and bare-bones, but you should not let this discourage you. The service is always attentive and courteous, and there is plenty of space available, particularly to accommodate families near the front of the establishment. Despite the fact that it took some time to make, the chicken mandi that I ordered was served scorching hot, fresh, and well worth the wait. The chicken mandi is made with halal meat. I added some heat to it by using the sauces and spicy sauce that were provided, which really brought out the true tastes of the dish. Do not pass up the opportunity to indulge in genuine Middle Eastern cuisine in Worcester; this restaurant is not to be missed!

I've been going to El Basha for over three decades. They have expanded to many locations now, but…read morethe Belmont Street location is still my favorite. The space had a huge upgrade over the years, but it's still a warm, family-run restaurant with great service and delicious food. The menu is extensive, but there are a few dishes I keep coming back to. The fassoulia is comforting and flavorful, the falafel is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, and the chicken port saiid (sautéed with mushrooms in a bright garlic lemon sauce) is a standout. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared; it has that homestyle touch you don't find elsewhere. Then there is the dessert... the pistachio baklava is truly something special. Knowing it's still made by the family's matriarch makes it even better, and you can taste the tradition in every bite. If you're looking for authentic, consistently great, Lebanese food with a personal touch, El Basha is a staple that never disappoints.
