Besides there ambiance and loud music which is a positive... as I am writing this review I am suffering from extreme stomach pain and so is my party that I dined with. The food was not the best quality, and for the price I expected WAY more. Service was not poor, but asking for a simple seat switch request from from the patio to indoor became a struggle. I personally would rate environment and vibe: 8/10 But the food and the result was a 2/10! A nice kosher place, but they need to get there stuff together because quality is NO HERE, and is something that needs improvement

I visited last night and I had the most wonderful time. Everything from the food to the ambiance was amazing. The service was extraordinary ask for "Kim" she couldn't have been more helpful, charismatic, and made the whole guest experience amazing! Oh try their Sticky Date Pudding the best

What a beautiful place! Not only is the interior designed beautifully but their food is amazing. I had the honor of meeting their owner who takes pride in her restaurant and after eating the food, should be very proud of her creation. She is very kind and warm hearted. All the food was amazing, but I need to point out that their sushi was beyond words. It is literally some of the best sushi I've ever had, and if you know me, you know I've had sushi from all over the place. I would highly recommend checking this place out. Between the ambiance and the food, you will fall in love!

One of the BEST restaurant experiences I've had! Food was incredible, every single thing we ordered was delicious. Drinks were yummy and perfectly crafted. Service- wonderful! Our waiter Radu was awesome and so attentive, we barely had a wait on anything and everything came out super fast! Hookah was a fun little addition and we enjoyed smoking and eating, it was a very relaxed atmosphere. Parking- valet is available for $20 and we were there on a weekday otherwise be prepared to search for parking. The vibe in the place was so different than anything I've experience with Kosher dining and I appreciated the detail in the the decor and design, lighting and overall ambiance. It was great for date night! It's pricey but well worth it if you're looking for a fun, different night out! Will absolutely be coming back, can't wait for the next time!

Wow, I can't wait to come back. I came to Basbussa to celebrate my birthday. We were a group of 8 on a Saturday night and it was wonderful. The food was AMAZING! Staff was attentive and nice, despite how busy they were. Great ambiance and music. Each of my friends enjoyed it. It becomes a party Saturday night, great to also come just for drinks and sit and the bar. Great experience.

I am going there on Thursdays and/or Saturdays, and the atmosphere is just great. The DJ is amazing playing all kinds of music, the restaurant got a lot of lights in most areas of the restaurant compared to other places that the lights are dimmed (what's the point? I don't understand), the food is great.

Wonderful service! The chicken shawarma tacos were delicious. Highly recgomend. The chicken tenders were also great!

The food was okay compared to how it was last year in 2023. The options were better and the environment/entertainment was better as well. If you are not kosher this might not be the place for you. Since they've converted to a kosher restaurant the food options are very little and very pricey. The service is good but if you are not kosher I really don't recommend this place for you.
Greta food and great vibes. Music playing, good drinks, and tasty. Check them out for dinner

If I could, I'd rate this experience a zero. After dinner, my friends (two men and two women, 1 who is five months pregnant) and I stopped by for a quick drink. We noticed two open seats at the bar. I asked a nearby female if they were taken, and she said no, so we took them while our husbands stood behind us. Almost immediately, a man confronted us about taking the seats. We explained they were unoccupied, but he then oddly requested to speak with the husbands outside. It turned out he was the owner and had decided to kick us out for sitting in his preferred spot, forcing us all to leave. As someone with experience in hospitality and as a co-owner of fast food restaurants (The Flame Broiler), I found the owner's behavior towards customers astonishing. We were simply looking for a place to enjoy a drink post-dinner and were willing to stand, but being kicked over available seating was absurd. This is no way to conduct business, especially in a reputable area. He didn't just lose customers; he lost our respect.

Love the vibes, the decor and the food. Not to forget the drinks were delicious. The chicken strips and cauliflower my favorite. When the cauliflower appetizers hit my taste buds tasted like orange chicken. Our server was excellent. Kosher friendly.

We loved the food. We had some delicious dishes although the olive appetizer plate was overly salty (I like salt but this one was hard to eat). You cannot order drinks that are not Kohser including Campari, Vermut etc. Prices are ok BUT the restaurant automatically adds 22% service charge for any parties on weekends only. This is totally a hidden fee forced onto customers. Nobody explained where the service charge fee is going to (kitchen, owner, staff benefits, staff pay & tip etc.). NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL!

Absolutely loved this place! Food is delicious and drinks are great. They have the best music playing and late night people start dancing all around. The service is quick and the staff are extremely friendly. Vegetarian and vegan friendly!
