Shawarma Al Basha

Attended by its owner, the meal is delicious, freshly made before serving. The portions are big, and more importantly, the meal is the best I have ever eaten, and I’m a big fan of Lebanese cuisine. Prices are very convenient and the restaurant is comfy and quiet. Absolutely recommended. This is my go-to place from now on!

🇱🇧Amazing food! Delicious shawarma and beef kibbe! We order the mixed shawarma and it was sooo good! Definitely a place to come back! The beef kibbe plate was also incredible Delicious! Lebanese food served with the best flavors and kindness from staff! Full recommended!🇱🇧

Best shawarma in Miami. 🤩 I tried the chicken as well as the beef one and they were spectacular. Authentic flavor and a good portion size. I also tried the taboule and it was delicious and refreshing with a perfect hint of lemon. The grape leaves were also great and a perfect side. Highly recommend this restaurant! Go check it out! 🇱🇧🥙 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Authentic and delicious Lebanese food. Highly recommend!!!

Delicious! Highly recommend! Super great value for money and sooo yummy 😋

We walked into Shawarma Al Basha without previously knowing about it, and it was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, but the food is really excellent! It's authentic Lebanese cuisine. Call it comfort food or soul food, it checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it.

Good was incredible fresh and tasteful, lady helping me was very helpful explaining the differences and even let me taste the different sauces....will be going back 100%. Oh yeah the French fries were extra crispy... 10/10 experience.

Highly recommended , super clean & very delicious Lebanese food . Ive had mix platter & shawarma . The staff are amazing & so friendly

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Very friendly owner. We landed at the airport and this is the first stop we made coming into the city. The food is authentic and plentiful. Highly recommend this spot for excellent middle eastern cuisine. Convenient location.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

Food was good A little pricey, Service was horrible, as soon as me and my wife walked in , we felt uncomfortable, So we ask for plates, he started with is bad altitude , first he gives me one plate And I ask for Second plate for my wife ,he got more rude At the end , my wife ask for to go bags He gives us 2 little brown paper bags I ask him for a extra bag so we can take the sauces given to us with our meal , in little containers , so he said YOU PEOPLE ASK FOR EVERYTHING , YOU ARE CHEAP , I told him I just spend 50 dollars on falafel app and two gyros It really ruined our meal , Bad experience for sure Don't recommend them , rude and pricey I will never go back

Nice variety. Courteous service. Good original flavors. Would recommend. Kibbe and falafel are excellent.

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!

Awesome Shawarma, humus and tabouleh. One of the best I've had in a long time. At over $20, it's a bit pricey though.

"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 !!!

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 .

It's ok. Not my fav but food is not bad. They are quick. To be fair all I ever ordered was the chicken shawarma. Maybe other things are very good.

Almost at the end of the historic 8th street you'll find this gem of a restaurant. My mother wanted to come here for a long time and it was well worth it. We had the chicken and mixed shawarma wraps. INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS! Everything used in the wrap was fresh and tasty. The business was clean and well maintained. Thank you so much for a great meal. We will be back to try the sweets next time!

Good food. But the babaganoush had way too much tahini. Also I probably would not pay $22 for this plate had I seen it before ordering delivery. The tabbouleh was delicious as was the Lebanese salad. Overall good but not a bargain.

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. Help support this business run by husband and wife as they are contributing to the community with great food from their heritage. 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.

Amazing falafel and quipes. The shawarma is really good. I have ordered catering and my guests loved the food. Place is super clean and Samir is very friendly. Very well Reccomended.

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!

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!

WORST SERVICE EVER! I will never come back to this place. It is totally a shame because the food is good, but again: WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!

I order food for the first time and I have to say what a surprise. Delivery was fast. No mistake in my order which is typical for that area. And the quality of the food was fresh, right temperature and tasty. I totally recommend this little niche I just discovered. They will definitely see more of my orders. Keep it up!!!

Everything I was looking for! This is the real deal! The shawarma is #1 and the Kibbe is so full filing! Big portions, you are gonna have food for the next day and it's gonna taste even better... I can't wait to come back for more shawarma!

Great place for lunch or dinner Super fresh Not good with words but try it and you would give them 5 stars too

Loved the mixed shawarma! Food was amazing. Place is great to eat a fast meal. Definitely recommend!

Order was beef shawarma platter, shish tawook sandwich and falafel. The beef shawarma was clearly sitting in the spit for too long, it was very dry and leathery with way too much fat in the meat. All the white bits in the picture are fat, and fat that didn't melt. The falafel was bland. Shish tawook was good, chicken was juicy and flavorful, I would get it as a platter rather than a sandwich because the bread fell apart as it was very soggy.

Amazing, Authentic, Lebanese Shawarma...! The menu is no nonsense, shawarma or kebab, wrapped or platter. Choose Chicken or Mixed (beef and lamb). Be sure and have them include the garlic paste, it is ethereal...! Seriously, the food here is fantastic and the restaurant is super clean. The owner mentioned he will soon be offering Lebanese Pizza once the oven arrives. Note: a new sidewalk was recently installed to make the trek from Brickell to "West Brickell" easier so no excuse to visit this gem. I do wish they offered Harissa, but I give them a pass since the Shawarma is so good.

First time ordering from Fatair and I must say I was saying omg this is amazing with every bite! We ordered the mixed shawarma platter with the Lebanese rice, babaganoush and hummus! The chicken was sooo tasty! I rarely ever say that about chicken. We also ordered the baklava and it was nice and flaky! Wish it was a little bigger ;) but overall a 10! Will be ordering more from this place!

Amazing food! Super tasty. Great family business with amazing service. The restaurant is extremely clean. They also have in-house delivery service - no need to pay crazy Uber eat prices. We will DEFINITELY go back

I have gotten to-go food from here several times and it is always consistent. Food is excellent and fresh. The guy behind the counter makes the falafel to order right in front of you. Portions are very generous. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious homemade food and desserts. This small family owned restaurant has flavor. If you love Kibbeh they have it. There lentil and rice are a must have. A great spot in Little Havana. They have a small parking lot in the back and they also deliver. Don't forget to get some desserts for the finishing touch to a great meal.

Really goood food and fresh. And nice guys The falafel was great. Only issue is they use siracha not Arab hot sauce

Authentic and good food that is, everything seemed fresh, made in that kitchen. Its not "food court" food, it is like home cooked recipes.

A great spot! Just happened to drive by and give it a shot to try something new and I was so glad I did! They are so nice, and the food was amazing! I had a chicken wrap , (with everything on it) and it was so yummy . It's a nice filling size too. I'll definitely be back .

Small place but absolutely amazing food! We ordered take out for our family of 5 and everyone raved about the food. We ordered sandwiches and platters. Chicken and beef options were excellent. So tender. Strongly recommend to anyone that loves Hidden Gem Restaurants

Ok food, nothing special. Not very friendly nickel and dime for everything (i.e extra sauce)..
