Overall, Basha comes across as a favorable option in downtown Montreal for students or visitors seeking good value, tasty food, and friendly service.
I have only made 7 reviews in my life they are all 1 star. The biggest reason I'm putting the review is the man that served me give him the full 5 stars. The 4 in general is the food is just not quite up to par on the taste level regarding other reviews of not being fresh it was not perfect but it was fine. Not sure if the man who served me had bad service days with other in the past based off previous reviews but 2 times in 4 months he was the nicest server actually at any restaurant I have recently been too in a few years no word of a lie that man was generous & when I asked for a bit extra of something & I offered to pay for it he that's ok I will give to you & took 2 extra pitas he wanted charge me for 1 & he did on top of it he specifically told after I commented that I would pay for it he said I WANT YOU TO COME BACK & the full plate with extra item he gave was very good portion for today & it was $18.40 with the taxes included that's a good price anyone says no lol go find it cheaper for any meal that size for that price good luck. By the way he is not the owner but he may have defensive when I asked because he did hesitate quite a bit & said no but that's not important maybe he is & I understand he was great though I am not lebenese or Arabic & this is BOT A FAKE review so far so good I promised him I would return & I will
La vue dans le restaurant est incroyable. Le service est excellent & la nourriture est très bonne! Je recommande fortement pour tout étudiant qui cherche un endroit de qualité & à bas prix.
Mon expérience dans ce restaurant a été extrêmement décevante & surtout inquiétante sur le plan sanitaire.
La qualité de la nourriture était très mauvaise. La viande servie dégageait une forte odeur suspecte & avait un goût clairement avarié, ce qui représente un réel danger pour la consommation.
Ce genre de situation est inacceptable & mérite, selon moi, un contrôle sanitaire urgent afin de vérifier le respect des normes d'hygiène & de sécurité alimentaire.
De plus, j'étais le seul client au moment de ma visite, ce qui soulève de sérieuses questions sur la réputation & la qualité de cet établissement.
Je déconseille fortement ce restaurant. À éviter à tout prix si vous tenez à votre santé.
Excellente expérience au restaurant libanais Al Bacha à Montréal.

Très belle découverte à Montréal avec le restaurant libanais Al Bacha.
Accueil exceptionnel & service attentionné.
Nourddine est une personne très aimable, respectueuse & toujours souriante.
Les plats sont excellents, pleins de saveurs & bien présentés.
Un grand merci pour le thé & les desserts, une attention qui fait vraiment la différence.
Une adresse à ne pas manquer, je recommande sans hésitation.
Wow, it is rare I have to take out my phone & leave an immediate review, but this was just so disappointing. For $14 I have the world's smallest pita with dry Shawarma meat & a can of ginger ale. The entire sandwich is bland because not much else was in it besides unseasoned chicken. They ran out of garlic sauce so I asked for extra humus on the side. hummus tasted spoiled. Genuinely wish I waited until I got home to eat. such a waste of my money. Sever was sweet tho.
The food was delicious & of excellent quality. The owner was extremely friendly & helpful, even offering us drinks &, most importantly, providing a space for us to pray. As Muslim travelers, this thoughtful gesture meant a lot to us. May Allah reward him abundantly & bless his business with continued success.
Experience was underwhelming.
Food prices were okay...more expensive than Toronto.
Ordered the Kofta Kebab plate....came with salad, roasted potatoes, rice, kofta kebab, a spoon of hummus & a spoon of garlic sauce.
Kofta kebab was overcooked & seemed as it was preheated from the lunch time( I came for dinner). It was blackened & dry...not fresh from freshly made & roasted.
Potatoes were dry & overroasted. Ate half of them & the rest I left for the garbage.
Salad was decent but lettuce was dice & sliced & hard to pick up with the wooden fork.
Rice was the only good thing but paying $20 for a plate of rice, overcooked kofta & potatoes is a rip of.
No itemized receipt was provided so I don't know how much the side of hummus & pita & a drink was but total for it all was $30.
Better prices in Toronto along with quality of food.
For tourists....much better places to eat along St. Catherine St.....
Tout était correct sauf le mélange laitue/concombre tomates. La laitue était toute rouillée donc non.appétissante. 🤢 Habituellement je n'ai rien à dire de négatif de ce restaurant à cet emplacement.

Patron & employés sont tellement gentils & amicaux, par contre il y a clairement un manque de fraîcheur dans les aliments & la place pourrait être puis sanitaire mais c'est compréhensible vu la location & l'âge du building. Potentiel di les aliments étaient plus frais!
Meilleur restaurant au centre ville service impecable, personel gentil, endroit tres propre, & les prix sont vraiment excellent, 5 étoile restaurant parfais
Venez à la Place Dupuis ! Je croyais avoir goûter à des plats libanais dans une autre chaîne ( non ) en plus chez le Compétiteur ils remplissaient seulement l'assiette à moitié en disant nos clients doivent payer la facture. Donc je vais chez Basha! Ils remplissent l'assiette pleine avec au plaisir de vous revoir on se gêne pas! On veut vous reveniez. Merci Beaucoup Basha je vais revenir c'est certain. Vous savez comment traiter les clients avec respect
