al basha

late night eats. al basha is located in kits and they are open until 4 am every night. place is clean and thefoodis well prepared and seasoned. all the condiments are chopped uniformly and the sauces are tasty. prices are probably about a dollar higher than a typical shawarma joint but based on the late hours, quality and neighborhood it makes sense.

hits the spot after a late night out on the town...

halal has got a market share of one billion people. besides the religious purpose, halal has something that can attract people. their way of treating animals andfoodbrings the taste to another level. al basha   is a very popular restaurant that serves halal food. menu. mixed fruit juice nice. taste a bit like smoothies. al basha’s chicken is freshly cooked when you order. falafel  is very common but at al basha,  all falafel is deep fried in front of you after you order. chicken falafel shawarma wrap mmmm~~everything is fresh and juicy. smells very nice. al basha’s plate chicken rice with hummus and salad. hummus smooth and yummy. they are pretty generous on the portion of chicken. the price is similar to those atfoodcourt but thefoodis much more delicious and fresh.   al basha (604) 568-8841 3143 west broadway vancouver, bc    

i love how this place is opened till 3 am, great place to come for a late night bite. the service was good but thefoodwas pretty standard in my opinion. i have definitely had better plates but i do appreciate al basha's hours (:

pit of disease. i've eaten at al basha at several occasions, seemed like a good place to get realfoodin kits late night. i was turned off by the extremely unpleasant staff but came back for the good food.

during my last visit i was treated to the sight of a rat in the kitchen while they were preparing my meal. sufficient to say, i left immediately and have never since returned. guess there's really something different in their special sauce.

amazingfoodwith amazing service!. the staff is always super friendly! they make all their own sauces including the hummus and the tabouleh is outstanding. falafel is made fresh when you order it and you can taste the difference. best shawarma joint in town!

everyone there is so welcoming and hospitable. me and my girlfriend share an al basha plate and we're always satisfied. where else can a couple share such a full meal for under $15? these guys always impress us.

best middle easternfoodi've had in van.

not the greatest. i was here on a date - thefoodwas kinda disappointing, as was the ambiance.

best falafel ever!. i was introduced to this gem by a friend yesterday and must say- it is fantastic. the shawarma, and the falafel were to die for and i sat in silence with 2 friends eating as we were all so engulfed in the food.
the owner is friendly, authentic, and seems to take an interest in each guest, also remembering regulars and starting theirfoodfor them the minute they walk through the door.
overall, thoroughly impressed, and salivating!

awesome. i really really really like al basha. i've been eating from macfalafel (or maybe it has a new name - the one at tenth and alma) for almost 12 years and im sorry to say that al basha just blows them out of the water. it can be a little rough around the edges but thefooddoesn't lie. i love how they fry their falafel to order and refry your chicken to make it crispy. their tabouleh is also great, as are their pickles and beets.
9/10
