Prices are solid for a fast food locale, and some reviewers note that Basha may not be the best in terms of food quality, though condiments look fresh and the meats are decent. The staff and the owner are described as very friendly and the place feels clean. There is a request for clearer labeling so that the shawarma plate is beef and the shish taouk is chicken, while service remains good and the mixed platter is highly regarded. Delicious shawarma sandwiches and flavorful homemade hummus are highlighted, and the spot is a good option for a quick lunch to go. Overall, the ambiance is clean with excellent service and very good traditional Lebanese fare and welcoming staff.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Patisserie Al Sham earns praise for authentic Arabic desserts that feel handmade and fresh, with a display that makes it hard to choose just one item. Reviews note flavors that are balanced and not overly sweet, textures that reflect craftsmanship, and aromas that transport visitors to the heart of the Middle East. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer tastings and recommendations, contributing to a warm, consistent experience for regulars and newcomers alike. While some comments mention occasional variability in taste and value or moments of delay, the consensus remains that the pastries, from baklava and knafeh to maamoul and other sweets, are of high quality and worth seeking out in Laval and Montreal.View restaurant profile
