Albasha restaurant

So, this is one of thise gems that I would not review for fear I could not keep it to myself... But since I dont live in Nash, I will..... The food cuisine is out this world.. hummas are creamy and delicate....Tabouli is crunchy and fresh and the roasted eggplant salad was like no other.... I also had 2 Lamb Kifta with bread. It also came with grilled onions, tomatoes olives and pickes... The lamb was seasoned fantastic, freshly grilled, crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy inside.. the bread was piping hot.... So, a little bread and some Lamb Kifta, some of the sides on top and what you will get is a symphony of flavors that last throughout the entire bite.... The FSE is very clean, bright and everyone here was very nice and welcoming.... If ya want great food, at a very good price come on down.... This will be the 1st of a couple as there is a slow braised lamb shank and lamb chops calling my name...

One of the best Arab style food hidden gems of Nashville! Family owned, the chicken kabobs were juicy and so flavorful, my favorite was the kofta, lamb mince spiced amazingly barbecued on charcoal. Will be coming here with friends and family soon again!

Largest Burger sandwich in Nashville The food is great, loved the chicken shawarma and really recommend the eggplant salad as vegan option (super delicious). The also have comically large burger sandwiches (you have to see it to believe it)

Friendly staff good place. Prices are high. The lam kebob is not bad but the chicken tikka and the chicken kebob doesn’t taste authentic. Also, the lamb shawarma is not marinated at all! It only had some salt in it..

Very tasty . Wanted a good shawarma . Got it ! Saw lamb meet going to get prepped in the back. . So you know it’s fresh . Well priced too ! 11$ lamb shawarma. Hard to come by anything with that price!

I felt I was home,didn't want to leave the food was so good and the cashier was very nice and had good attitude hope to be back soon !

Amazing food!!! The Hummus and Shwarma is super!

Service is really good and the atmosphere is okay, but the food was not impressive. I stopped in for the first time Thursday evening 12/7/23 and tried the shawarma plate. The salad was fresh and portions were comparable value but the chicken was very dry and not well seasoned. I will go back one day in the near future to give them another try then update my rating afterwards.

This restaurant was one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. I ordered the shawarma, but it wasn't available so the guy from the cash register recommended the lamb chop, I said ok I'll try it. He also recommended the chicken kebab for my son. I paid $50 for 2 orders smh, I asked him, are you closing? He said no, the older guy begin cussing the guy out about him recommending the lamb chops right in front of my son. After getting our food, the lamb chops were over cooked and the rice was dry. They turned the fan on and started blowing the sewage right in the dining room on our food while we were eating. I asked what is that smell, the guy responded and said, it's the sewage, I know it smells, it's backed up. I asked why would you blow the sewage all over our food while we're eating? He responded I know but the owner turned it on, I guess it was the mean older man earlier who was cussing the younger guy out, because the older guy was pushing big garbage cans of trash right pass our table, while we're eating. They are unprofessional and rude, the service was horrible, it felt very uncomfortable, I told my son we need to leave, we're not welcome at this restaurant. The restaurant was full of men only, moving garbage cans around our food right next to us and continuing to blow the sewage on our food, after I complained, so we immediately start getting our things to leave. No one apologized or address the issues or my concerns of contamination.
