Shawarma Basha

Visiting from out of town for work, I stopped in for dinner. I had ordered from this restaurant via DoorDash a couple of months ago during a previous visit and really enjoyed the food, so I decided to try it in person. It was almost 8 p.m. when I arrived. The dining area was quiet, though the parking lot was surprisingly full. I ordered at the counter and waited about 10 minutes for my food to arrive. I got the #13 mixed entrée, which included kabob, shawarma, chicken, rice, grilled onions and tomatoes. It also came with Arabic salad, hummus, and pita bread. • Arabic salad: Tangy and delicious — I actually preferred it over the rice. ★★★★☆ • Rice: Just okay, nothing special. ★★★☆☆ • Hummus and pita: The hummus was decent, but the pita was cold, which took away from the experience. ★★★☆☆ • Chicken: Moist and flavorful — definitely the highlight. ★★★★½ • Shawarma and kabob: A bit tough and chewy, but still had decent flavor. ★★★☆☆ The restaurant was clean and tidy, although it was a bit warm inside, which made the dining experience slightly less comfortable.

Absolutely delicious! Shawarma was really good. The lentil soup was perfectly seasoned and comforting—one of the best I’ve had. The babaganoush was amazing—smooth, smoky, and full of flavor. I had the chicken shawarma, and it was juicy, well spiced. The gyro meat was decent too, but I had better. But honestly, everything else was so good it didn’t even matter. Great spot for Mediterranean food in Arlington—highly recommend!

This place is amazing… the Food is just delicious, the shawarma is legit, the bread is toasted and the chicken was tender and had great flavor. For me, the grape leaves were the best, with the sauce wow, no words. The tabbouleh, sooooo fresh. The falafel is probably one of the most delicious I've ever tried. And the blakava, no words, incredible. Everything here is delicious and Mohammad is super friendly, and he can give you the best recommendation.

We got the combo for 4, and it was absolutely delicious. I am not a fan of lamb but the lamb was amazing and the beef even better. My wife got a beef shawarma and although I didn't taste it she says it was good so I'll take her word for it. I have never had Mediterranean food until now and it'll definitely be something I'll be seeking out in the future. I live in the San Antonio area I just hope I can find something close to The flavor here. This place set a pretty high bar

We tried chicken shawarma sandwich & gyro sandwich. Both were freshly made and delicious. The place has a feel of fast food joint but it has ample seating. We took food to go.

I wanted something different than what I normally would eat....chicken, fish, burgers. I googled restaurants near me and Shawarma Basha showed up. I noticed they had great reviews, so I decided to give them a try. I got the Tiki Lamb with the hummus and salad. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be visiting them again.

I visited Shawarma Basha yesterday and ordered the chicken shawarma plate it was amazing! The chicken was tender and flavorful, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the garlic sauce was spot on. the pita bread was fresh and soft, and the side salad was crisp with a nice tangy dressing. The staff were friendly and made sure my order was perfect. This place truly delivers authentic taste and great service. Definitely coming back!

If someone never had proper good Mediterranean food they might like the food here but we did not enjoy our dining experience. The only decent food was falafel, everything else was pretty flavorless. Meg! Even the garlic sauce and other condiments didn’t taste good. The service wasn’t great either. Sorry for this review but y’all need to improve your service and food quality.

Small place, good food. Felt beef was a bit on the salty side but still pretty good. Nice staff.

Really good Shawarma We stopped on Sunday for lunch, this place is popular and they have great food and service. We ordered one chicken shawarma and one beef entree, they come with three sides to choose. We had cucumber tomato salad, hummus and baba ganoush. Everyone was delicious and the servings were plenty.

Always delicious and filling!! Got four sandwiches (chicken, beef, and forgot the other two) and they all were bomb. The gyros are classic and everything is always great when me and my boyfriend pick up from here

Never visited there place yet before. Although, I did try their shawarma at the masjid where they were selling it. And it's so good especially the chicken one I've never had better shawarma in my life especially the chicken.

The food here is ok. Shwarma places are a dime a dozen and it's hard to find a good one. The beef has great flavor but was dry and the sauce was super watery. The chicken taste very lemony and had an almost lunch meat type consistency and mushy. The salad was nice but tasted waterlogged. I will admit the baba ghanouj was probably the best I had in a long time, as was the hummus. What really made me mad though was we asked for a cup of water, and the waitress said "we don't do water in cups you have to buy a bottle" so you mean to tell me while I eat my dry beef, after coming in from the 100 degree super humid Texas summer, I have to pay to drink water for dine in? To me that is beyond exploitive and borderline abusive. I have never been to a place where they told me I HAVE to pay for water. I can go to any other generic shwarma place at that point and get my water

Excellent food, I've had the chicken and beef shawarma's and I say they are both great but I prefer chicken most of the time but get beef occasionally, the fries are seasoned to perfection. Great options for the whole family.

Wanted to try Shawarma Basha after reading some Yelp reviews. I am happy I did I had the chicken shawarma wrap. My first time to have this meal in a wrap. I was very happy with the flavors of the chicken. I like the grilled wrap it was similar to a burrito but not the same flavors. Plenty of meat inside the wrap. They do have other fillings you can choose from. To go with the meal we added hummus and pita as a side. The hummus was very good I will for sure get this meal again. The restaurant has seating inside and a patio on the side of the building. Very casual you order at the counter. The food is made to order very fresh and hot. The have plenty of dishes to choose from. I will be going back to try some more.

We've been here multiple times and it's extremely delicious. Our favorites are the chicken shawarma, hummus, babaganouch and falafel. Affordable and excellent service. No frills interior, we've always gotten it to go.

I stopped by to try their chicken shawarma and was super excited to give it a try. However, I was disappointed with the chicken shawarma in that it was so dry. The taste wasn't flavorful either. The best part about the meal were the fries which were seasoned well and the Diet Coke. Not only was the food a huge let down, the price for all this was $13. Take your money elsewhere.

Food is great service is mediocre barely any hellos no thanks but not much to say about this place

Been here a few times and always have had a great meal. Take out has been awesome, too. Great friendly service, Tabarek always take care of us! Highly recommended!

Placed an order over the phone yesterday before my Night Shift at work keep in my mind I live 32 minutes from this place the girl tells me my order will be ready in 15 minutes and I tell her perfect I'll be there shortly when I show up my order wasn't placed and that it will be another 15 minutes for my food to be made in that case whats the purpose of phone orders I was late to work and on top of that I wasted gas and time and didn't get anything to eat horrible customer services !

I love their gyro wrap! It's super affordable and delicious. I been coming back just to get it. My boyfriend got the beef platter, and he likes it! However, it wasn't amazing (his words). The lentil soup was really nice in my opinion, but I did not like the baba ghanous. It was a bit bitter in my opinion.

Amazing chicken Shawarma sandwich. The fries are amazing and crispy and soft on the inside and the owner is extremely nice and has great customer service.

Smells of sewer, we left immediately. Fortunately, they were out of chicken giving us a polite excuse to leave.

Food is really delicious and good prices as well for the amount you get! The area is quaint and cozy, and they serve the food really quick and check up on you!

I called and ordered a To Go order. Service was great and food was ready in 15 minutes. The portion was large. Chicken shawarma was good but not great. The garlic sauce was not as garlicky as I prefer - it was more of just yogurt. The fries were absolutely delicious! I'd go back and try other items as they have many good sounding items on the menu.

First time here, Tabarek was welcoming, patient, and was helpful while reviewing menu. Excellent rice pudding, food, and clean environment. Recommend!

They are so nice here! Food is great, restaurant is clean, prices are reasonable, and they threw in a complimentary rice pudding. Definitely recommend if you're in the Arlington area. Customer service is a really important factor and this restaurant excels at it!

Shawarma is good, but chicken can be dry sometimes. Get extra garlic sauce, which is amazing. Only down side is it's somewhat small for the raising price. Much better than Prince.

Come check out this spot. The place is clean, the food is yummy, the staff is friendly and I highly recommend you try a Mediterranean soda -Laziza (apple was our favorite)

This place has been on my radar for a while, and I finally stopped in for lunch today. It is a small place at the end of the strip center on Arbrook. There really isn't any decor, just a few tables and the counter where you order. They do have a little outdoor seating area to the side. I had scoped out the menu before I came, and ordered the shish tawook sandwich. It is really more of a wrap, with chicken, garlic sauce, and pickles. The outside is warm and they crisp it up on a flat top, but stays soft on the inside. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was tender. The garlic sauce was on point. Delicious and creamy but not overly garlicky, which was good because I was going back to work. I don't know what kind of pickles they use, but I like them. They're very mild. You don't get that tang of vinegar and dill. It adds a nice crunch and everything goes together really well. I don't know if it is the marinade of the chicken, but something had a bit of a lemony flavor. In a good way. Considering it is mostly meat, it made for a substantial meal, even if it kind of looks like a skinny burrito. The sandwich was $4.99 which I think was a good deal. I really enjoyed it and look forward to trying other things on the menu The young woman working the counter was very nice and offered to bring it out to my car, which was appreciated.

Very yummy foods , highly recommend, affordable price and great customer service. Definitely everyone should try

This seems to be a new family owned restaurant serving about what you'd expect from a Shawarma joint here in Dallas. Interior is clean and they've got a relatively diverse meat selection so it definitely piqued my interest. What I assume is the daughter runs the register while the parents work all around the place; they're all polite. Our order was taken promptly and delivered to our car within a timely manner. They maintained social distancing and wore gloves, but no masks were worn by anyone taking out order which is quite problematic in this current climate. The selection here is your typical Mediterranean appetizers with entree items revolving around a selection of proteins: Chicken/Beef Shawarma/Kebabs, Falafel and Lamb. The Combo platter is their best item, with flavorful rice, a selection of their Kebabs and some sides to fill out the meal. It's definitely on the pricier side especially compared to the rest of the menu. The Tex-Mex sandwich was my favorite as it has tender chicken and a good sauce, while the Tandoori was just plain, shredded chicken. The sandwiches are all good value regardless, and if their combos were a dollar less they'd be a major lunch competitor. Overall, you have a generally well run establishment that could use some small tweaks here and there to really stand out. They have a nice seating area outside that would be quite nice in better times, and the area they're in is relatively clean. I have hopes for them should they stay consistent, and recommend others come here as well.

Such a wonderful find because of a very good friend. I love finding new Mediterranean focused restaurants and this one is just so good. It is family and locally owned and has a good variery of entrees. I tried their falafel, chicken Shawarma, hummus, tabouli, and rice. With every bite the food just got better and better. The sauces and seasonings just make every bite just pop and melt in my mouth. I definitely cannot wait to come back here soon as I am trying to eat healthier and they have tons of options. The only negative was the falafel was a little too dry and salty. But, besides that everything was good, especially the service. The family was just so nice!

I love finding great little hole in the wall places like this. This place has a small menu. We ordered a gyro wrap and a beef shawarma entree, which came with French fries, hummus, pita bread, and salad. Everything was excellent. The hummus was particularly good. Not much else to say. Restaurant was clean. Staff was polite. Food was delish and moderately priced.

We had Chicken Shawarma platter and Gyro....SOOO GOOD !!! Would definitely make this my "GO TO" spot for fast easy Mediterranean food!! And staff is very kind and enjoyable to talk to. Really enjoyed it!

Very good food, friendly and helpful staff for first time customer. Will try to go back soon

Humans and bread there very good! Lots of food for your money! Host is welcoming over all a great place

I can eat here everyday . We usually order the family meal for 2 which feeds us for two days . Garlic sauce

Delicious food! Fast friendly service. Got beef shawarma and tandoori shawarma with hummus and fries. Everything was fresh and yummy!

This little place has some amazing food. The meats are tender and flavorful with good sized portions. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. You should check it out if you like Mediterranean food.

Beef Shawarma sandwich: tasty :) Falafel: crunchy, crispy and have no flavor at all :( Service is very good, the folks in here are very friendly.

I bad a falafel wrap and hummus with bread. It was good and staff is super friendly!!

The food was fresh and full of flavor. I recommend. We had chicken shawarma. We called in and our order was prepared and ready in good time.

I ordered 3 Shawarma wraps around 11:15am. Pretty darn good shawarma. The meat was juicy and the wrap tasted fresh. I think it really helped to be there early. I feel later in the afternoon the meat dries out a little. I would definitely go back again. Only negative is the guy working there. He was kind of a jerk. Just not very nice. Kind of got the what do you want and hurry up attitude. It was only me and not a single person waiting. Then he got annoyed because he couldn't figure out the cash register. It was like an episode of Seinfeld. "NO SHAWARMA FOR YOU!" Just kidding, even with the bad service, I'd still go back.

The best real shawarma that i ever had in my life .... And they have gyros as well. The staff were friendly and so welcoming..... My kids loved the falafel wrap and my wife ordered kabab.

This is good food at a very affordable price! I got a falafel wrap and a drink for less than $8. I look forward to coming back ...

So my wife told me that she wanted to try this place out. I was hesitant at first but obliged. I called ahead to ask what kind of bread they use for their shawarma sandwich. To which he replied either pita or tortilla. I'm a huge believer in do not mix mediterranean with texmex.. Almost all restaurants in DFW use tortilla and it changes the taste of the sandwich... These guys made my sandwich with pita if they keep it up and quality stays the same, they have gained a long term customer. Don't base your decision on the 2 bad reviews. People are just haters on here. Some people just get on here to troll reviews... This family is the real deal straight from Homs Syria.

I ordered takeout and got their lamb taki and it was AMAZING. The meat was so tender and tasted amazing - I'd go back just for that! They had good rice and hummus as well - and the seared pepper served with the entrees was fantastic, too! I was surprised at how "lemony" the chicken schawarma was, but not in a bad way at all - I just didn't expect it. See, my partner isn't a fan of lemon, so I got to eat the leftovers (lucky me)! I definitely plan to order again!

Some of the best med. food I've had. Got chicken & falafel. SO GOOD. Will be back ASAP.

I'm originally from Los Angeles and it's difficult for me to find good mom and pops places in DFW. I love this place so much it's yummy and authentic. This place never disappoints! 100% recommend

The food is always amazing and they never fail to deliver what's on the menu you can never go wrong with coming here

One of my "go to" places. I their wraps. French fries very good, not greasy. Best hummus I've had in Arlington.

Good service and the the falafel was outstanding. Nice atmosphere too, felt very comfortable.

I ordered through Yelp which took 45 mins or so. It wasn't a bad wait at all as i was working. I ordered the falafel which was good. The dipping sauce was a bit bland. The gyro sandwich was more like a burrito but it was good to a golden crisp on the outside. I asked for a side of extra sauce but i didn't get it. I used my halal guy sauce to eat with it and it was perfect. It was something to try and i actually would order from here again but trying something else.

Best in Arlington falafel was really good and the hummus

It's such a shame when a business can't update hours of service I took an Uber 40 minutes away to get there at 9:30 and find out they're closed when they say they're open until midnight

Food was very good service was good. Close to Six Flags. Been there a few times and will always keep coming as it's in our list of restaurants that we loved.
