Basha

Lebanese Mediterranean Middle Eastern Halal

(43)

RDP-Pointe-aux-Trembles

Review Summary

Overall, reviews about Basha describe inconsistent portions and variable quality, with some plates featuring a small bowl mostly filled with salad soaked in sauce and protein pieces that differ in size, giving a sense of budget constraints. Several customers note that a mixed plate can be underwhelming in taste and portion while beef or meat can have an odd flavor, and sauces may feel mid or lacking. Delivery and pickup experiences include delays and unclear pickup times, and one report mentions spoiled beef. A visit to Basha Pointe aux Trembles is described as delicious and well prepared, with flavors, a kind and welcoming owner, attentive service, a clean and nicely decorated space, and a willingness to return. Another reviewer enjoyed a good meal but was disappointed by salad and potato portions compared to other franchises at a similar price. Some notes praise friendly and helpful staff, but food flaws such as cold potatoes, tasteless rice, and not very fresh salad were pointed out. Taken together, the feedback shows strong variability and suggests improvements in portion size, freshness, and consistency.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Kenza Lounge comes across as a stylish and welcoming Montreal lounge where guests frequently praise the ambiance, decor, and food, and where the shisha can be outstanding when the session runs smoothly but is sometimes disappointing due to issues like not being lit properly, blocked valves, or limited flavor options; service and guest experiences vary widely, with some praising top notch, attentive staff and professional recommendations, and others reporting pressure to order, repeated table visits, slow service, and inconsistent hospitality depending on who is on shift; the venue can feel busy and loud on weekends with music that dominates conversations, and some reviews note crowding and a need for dress code enforcement at the door; many say it is a great place for birthdays and friend gatherings and evenings out, while others caution that the prices for shisha and drinks can be high and the atmosphere can lean club-like at times, but the overall impression is that the venue offers a memorable experience with a mix of strengths and occasional shortcomings.View restaurant profile
