I have to admit, I don't have a clue what a shawarma is, but I will say I liked this one. Or whatever it was that I ate. I picked my friends up at their hotel downtown and we headed out to lunch. The original place we picked was not open because apparently they had some kind of a pissing contest with the city and they lost. Whatever. We were hungry and needed to find someplace fast. And nearby would be a bonus because I had already paid for two hours of parking. No one likes paying for parking and then driving off. That's unAmerican. So we found another place down the street and were on our way when we saw Shawarm Al Basha. The sign said it was Lebanese, and that sounded just as good as what we had originally picked (Mexican), so we went in. First, the place is immaculately clean. The three women behind the counter were all very nice. When we asked about the food, one of them went to the meat and sliced us off samples to try. That was enough for us. We ordered. Vickie had the chicken kabob and Peter and I both had lamb. Mary had a little lamb. It was really delicious. The kabob is kind of pita-like bread wrapped around the meat with tomatoes, onions, falafel, something from a camel (just kidding, making sure you're still paying attention) and other things. They show you the whole list and you can opt out of anything you don't like. I didn't opt out of anything. Pile it on, is my motto. It was a lot to eat at one time, but I persevered. I mean, I had two hours, how could I not. When we finished, we realized we needed baklava (I'm not entirely sure how to spell it). We had the choice of walnut or pistachio, and we chose the pistachio. Which means now I need to go back and try the walnut. How else will I know which is better? I don't get to Miami very often, but I will definitely go back to this place. The food was good, the service was excellent, the restroom was clean (it's a long drive and I had to go) and we had a great time. All-in-all, worth every one of their five stars. read more

I ordered this foods for a dinner party in my house and let me tell you that this is the best Lebanese food I ever had here in Miami, everything that I ordered was outstanding. read more

I was skeptical at first but this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food was fire!! I'm not really a person to make a review of a place but this place deserved it. I will be coming back! read more

Bad experience!!! Over priced and small portions. Also charged for items not received. Too many better places to settle for this dump!!

Warm welcoming. Amazing food, what a complexity of flavors! Delicious. Recommend the chicken shawarma with hummus, white rice, and cucumber tomato salad. SO GOOOD. I also get an additional side of hummus because is that good!!Great portion. Shareable 10/10 read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern food. Their Chicken Kebabs, Chicken Shawarma, Baba Ghanouj, Hummus, Rice dishes (including one of the best Mujaddara i've ever had) are fantastic & their Baklava is to die for. Bonus... They deliver to Brickell & surrounding areas. Love this hidden gem. read more

Love the food and the server was very accommodating in customizing my takeout order. Nice to have halal options in Miami.

Ive had these shawarmas several times for lunch, dinner and mid day snacks and they are always on point. Fresh wraps , crispy fries, very friendly service and they want to make sure you enjoy your meal. Clean counters and area to eat but they do take-away /to go. 5 stars because my order is always correct and full of flavor. read more

I gave this place another try and everything was decent excepts the dolmades which is a signature item for Mediterranean cuisine. It was like uncooked rice inside : very hard. read more

The quickest Grub Hub experience ever. From order placed, to my door, 15 minutes. Mixed shawarma plate was loaded with proteins and a heaping amount of Lebanese rice. The beef was far superior to the chicken. Juicy against the drier chicken, that's why they were docked a star. Solid hummus. I'm glad I ordered tonight because I always drive by on my way to work and wondered what the food was like Thanks again for the quick delivery. read more

Shawarma Al Basha - 3. Mixed Shawarma Platter - Lebanese Near Me - Miami, Florida

They don't open on Sunday, we came all the way here to find them close, you should change the schedule on the website

Delicious, and authentic Lebanese food in a convenient location! We live in Brickell and we are always looking for good food nearby. It took us a while to finally try this place and we were soooo surprised by the quality of the food - we have now become regular carry-out customers! GET THE FALAFEL AND THE HUMMUS... both are PERFECTLY made every time. The falafel is made-to order in generous portions. The lentil rice is also delicious.... I haven't had anything there that I didn't want a second helping of. The restaurant is located conveniently near the entrance to 95 - so its an easy stop if you are picking up food on the way to/from work, and also makes for fast delivery. They have their own private parking in the back and there is always plenty in the front so its easier to get food here than some of my other favorite spots on this street. THE FOOD IS GREAT!! This is a family owned an operated business and you can truly taste the love they put into their food! They are very welcoming. The restaurant is set up cafeteria style with chairs to dine-in and also a small market of imported groceries. The effort is put into the food, not the decor, but based on the location you will more than likely want to carry-out anyway. read more

Most delicious, tasteful food I've ever tried from Lebanese. Highly recommended, good customer service. I recommend the chicken shawarma platter. read more

Food is fresh, I love the Kibbe and their delicious Beef Shawarma. It does not disappoint. I also love their French fries and the hummus. Just go. read more

The food here is always fresh and delicious.Everytime I come in the restaurant is impeccably clean and the food displays in the case are clean and fresh. The owner allowed me to sample the different meat before I purchased because I could not decide on what I wanted. Great attention to details and service! read more

Super tasty and freshly prepared. Don't be in a rush, it's primarily a one-man show, but it's worth the wait. read more

Had the shawarma mixed platter and it was delicious. I had it with the lentil rice and everything was fresh and the serving was large enough that I had some for lunch the next day. read more

Tried the beef, chicken and mixed shawarma . All great items to try. Definitely give them a try.

Wanted to try this place after seeing it on one of the food channels, but I was not overly impressed. The food was fair, the hummus had too much Tahini and the Shawarma beef and chicken were too salty and dry for my taste. Portions were smaller than expected @ $21.95 for a beef & chicken Shawarma platter. Although It looked like huge portions, the meat was laid on top of a big bed of french fries so it was an illusion. I went to wash my hands and noticed a large patch of black mold in the bathroom, which was a bit of a turn off. You can't paint over this it has to be remediated. I would come again but felt it was pricey for a fast food place. The Latina girl who served me could have been more pleasant and welcoming. Wipe businesses put people at the counter, the speak, no English I will never understand. And Lastly, BEWARE of the AUTOMATIC 4% service charge on your TAKE-OUT order, in addition to being prompted on the credit card machine for a tip. More ways to get your money. Bottom line, if I'm going to spend $25 for a mediocre plate I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant that has table service. read more

Just went here for lunch today with my best friend and we both ordered the falafel wrap. It was AMAZING! Definitely one of the best falafel I've had in Miami. And let me tell you, there aren't many places that serve it freshly fried with all fresh ingredients like at Fatair Al Basha. I work just up the street and will definitely be coming regularly once working from the office resumes. We also tried some of the sweets- the semolina cake was my favorite (wish I remembered the name). The place was extremely clean as well- overall highly recommend! read more

Food is good but too bad I will not come here again. That mold in the toilet wall is dangerous. It probably flies in the air and sticks on the food, too. Super dangerous for people spending time inside and inhaling that air,owner, his wife, their daughter? read more

"A sample of Beirut's glorious street food in Calle Ocho." Sometimes a good, pleasant food experience can transport you to a distant place and make you forget that you are really in the "Banana Republic of South Florida" where the places to eat are a haphazard assemblage of the very best and also the very worst the USA can offer. Rarely we discover a place where you find the same quality of food and service, all the time, anytime, with any form of delivery, including Uber. Initially we started ordering food from this joint through Uber and we always had a great experience, even getting credit for some sour yogurt we did not like and only rated it as " a hands down" in the final evaluation of the Uber Eats delivery; Samir, the owner, took the time to review our opinion and graciously refunded us the money, without us even asking for it. The shop is impeccably designed and maintained, with some new interior design that has the flair of an Almudejar patio with a water fountain; it is well lighted, aerated and with plenty of space between the tables. Sadly there are neither images of the city of Beirut or its vibrant street life nor some enticing music in the Arabic language to lift our weary spirits. Perhaps Samir's meritorious sacrifice deprived this enterprise of a needed feminine touch. The quality of the freshly prepared food is outstanding, to say the least. There are always two big rolls of meat to prepare the chicken or mixed shawarmas or kebabs; they are steadily cut down every day, all day long. There is a proper, enticing display of the hummus, babaganoush and assorted veggies in order to prepare various types of healthy salads. Ladies, you will not get hungry while you watch you physical figure. The rice with lintels is one of the most wholesome variants we have tasted. But the "tour de force" is the Kibbe (Lebanese croquette) as it is nicely cooked outside with a savory coating and a juicy filling inside; our fingers did not detect any greasiness while we handled that original delicacy. For dessert, you will be tempted by a rich display of all types of baklavas. The pricing is reasonable for this quality food. We cannot emphasize long enough the affectionate way that Samir, who puts long hours behind that counter, treats each and every one of his clients. That's why the curt comment made in the other posted review must be the mendacious attempt of a jealous competitor to scuttle it; there is a lot of envy in this Casablanca-like megalopolis with too few working neurons and too many slithery tongues. We wish Samir and his family all the business success they truly deserve. Merde !!! read more

Ordered from this place and it was decent. I had the Shish Tawook sandwich and my wife had the Falafel sandwich. Firstly, the owner was very nice. Greeted me and asked what I ordered. I told him I was their for pick up and I order through yelp/Grubhub. He's like why don't you just call me and order it through me? You save 34 cents. I thought that was a bit endearing and kinda liked it. Helping me save a little coin . Next time, my friend, next time, I will call and order directly. Now for my order: Shish Tawook Sandwich or Chicken Shish in Pita was decent. I can't say it was amazing because it lacked a little flavor and chicken was a little dry. At least the Pita was nice thin and fresh. Falafel pita sandwich was very good. Had good flavor and had moisture to it to make it even better. I'm a big fan of labanese/middle eastern food and I'm from NYC so I know the difference between good and bad labanese/Israeli/middle eastern food. I've had my fair share. This place is good but I think it could have been a fluke with my chicken Shish sandwich and I'm figuring it's better than the first time trying this. I'm thinking the platters are pretty good judging from the pics here and other reviews. I'm open to trying this again because of the falafel sandwich was very good. Hard to judge it only trying one time. Lastly, pricing is a bit high here but what isn't here in Miami? It's either expensive shitty food or very expensive good food. Nothing inbetween.... Wish the prices were a bit lower for the pita sandwiches and platters. For the owner, I will call for my takeout next time . read more

Very good food and service and ambience. I love the food shawarma and Kibbeh and grapes leaves

Great spot, clean, spacious, quiet, good food, reasonable prices. Best middle eastern food in Miami and better than most other cities too!

The chicken shawarma is super yummy! It is so flavorful and it has all the toppings! The service is really good as they are quick and are ready to serve you the best food possible:) And it's halal so that's a plus- Will be back soon Inshallah! read more

we had a ridiculous experience last summer in which management chased us out and attacked our vehicle as we pulled out of their parking lot. we parked in their private lot in the back, then walked in and looked at the menu. shortly after, we asked if there meat was halal or not. eventually the woman we were speaking to got frustrated and then we decided to leave. the manager rushed us out and said we had to get our car out of the private lot. as we drove out and away he told us to take the other car out (we only had one car, and the other car belonged to another stranger). he became very persistent and angry as he yelled at us through windows. he also physically attacked the car and struck the passenger window a couple of times. some of the encounter was recorded and is attached to this review. the experience was beyond unprofessional, it was criminally threatening. read more

I ordered this on Uber Eats because I was craving something different and went the middle eastern route. Glad to see this place exists as there aren't many in the area. I got the falafel sandwich with everything but tahini and the Lebanese salad. The portions are good and prices are reasonable. A simple, straightforward menu. The food was flavorful and fresh! The garlic cream in the sandwich was really great. Would love to visit the location at some point to try more! read more

Amazing food!! Hummus, Taboule, falafel and chicken shawarma excellent and tasty. Three of us ate and all were amazingly surprised on how delicious everything was. Had an issue with the order and called back and they resolved immediately. They are close bye so no issues in picking up the missing item. They gave us a complimentary baklava which was also amazing.

Not easy now days to find help and maintain a business with COVID Even though it is the two of them and service can be slower than anticipated they are good people and have amazing food. Great start to 2022. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this one is deserved! Spacious and clean atmosphere, beef shawarma wrap was worth the price and had generous portion of the protein, man at the counter is also who prepared the food and although it took about 10-15 min it taste like it was made with love lol. Nice guy! Taste just like the one I had when I went to Middle East. If you want authentic, do try this place! read more
