Basha

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
