Best falafel I’ve ever had. Tabouleh is to die for! All around delicious Mediterranean food. Great for vegans!

Whoa this place is busy at noon!
There is a mad lunch rush so if you don’t have much time… it may not be an optimal time to come.
Onto tho FOOD: Pretty damn good. There was so much I couldn’t finish it. So I did what any smart person does… I ate all the meat I could stuff in my stomach lol.
I ordered the chicken plate. It was delicious. I never had any problems with the meat. It was tender, moist and flavorful. Trust me, I hate any type of fat or cartilage, so I would warn my fellow Unilocalers.
The sevice was friendly and fast as possible. The owner even took the time to ask us if we enjoyed our experience. We ate in and the décor is very casual. There isn’t alot of space… again…lunch is busy!
It is a tad bit pricey. My chicken plate and a diet coke was roughly $ 14. I would definitely go back!

Love the falafels here! Made fresh to order (ie not sitting around under a heat lamp) with fresh ingredients. Consistently good. Great, friendly service as well. One of the best falafels I’ve ever had:).

Absolutely delicious food and great value. You would be hard pressed to find a better Shawarma and their Humus is simply the best!

Great cheap eats. $ 7 –10 per person for a tasty and fast meal.
My wife and I get takeout from here every week and haven’t been disappointed.
Simple place, so not recommended as a first date location, buy great to take down to the beach!
Definitely worth a stop if you want a good cheap meal.

I was walking along Cornwall Avenue today, casually looking to see if there was anywhere interesting (and cheap!) to eat before I headed back home. I saw that this place had a falafel wrap for under $ 6, and there was a line almost coming out the door. I figured this place would be good if so many people were willing to wait in line just to eat. I was not disappointed. I’ve had a lot of awful falafel in the past, and this falafel was definitely not awful. They don’t even fry up the falafel until you order. Fantastic, fresh food. Worth the wait in line.

Ordered a chicken plate. It was totally devoid of flavour and there were huge globs of fat and cartilage in the chicken. Pretty sure the hummus is just mashed chickpeas without even salt added. At lest that’s what it tastes like.
My cat ate some of the chicken so at least it wasn’t a total loss.

Best Middle Eastern food in town!
After doing two peacekeeping missions for the United Nations while I was in the Canadian military, I was infatuated with middle Eastern food. But when I got back home I couldn’t find anything that compared. This place is the real deal!
Their hummus tastes authentic, their portions are huge, their food is super fresh. It’s now wonder they have locations popping up all over town. Probably best of all is that they don’t use as much garlic as other places. You won’t feel as though people are dodging your death breath after a tasty snack here!

I walked in, I lined up and was ready to order. Then a guy walked in, I suppose he was a regular. He stood right in front of me (budded) and they served him first. It was as though I was invisible. The girl at the front had even made eye contact with me. I walked out and won’t be back.

Quite possibly the best Shawarma I’ve ever had. This place recently took over for our beloved Taco Shack (moved into Vera’s), and kept the people coming back to the hood. I love this street so much as it’s often overlooked thanks to 4th Ave and Broadway. Cornwall has a great deal of choice and Al Basha brings a flavour like no other. Sandwiched between Flying Wedge Pizza and Panne Rizo, Al Basha definitely holds its out.
My only complaint is that that they’re not open later. The «sister» location on Broadway is open 24 hours and although I’m not really looking for a Falafel, Donair or Shawarma wrap for breakfast, a late night option on my way home from Corduroy, Charqui or Local would be awesome.

Very pleasantly surprised here! Staff was personable, the falafel freshly made before our eyes, the schwarma tasty. Will definitely put this spot in the regular rotation while we’re in Kitsilano.

My husband and I have been looking for a Mediterranean restaurant for quite some time. We tried this place based on previous reviews. We were not impressed. I ordered the Al Basha plate, and my husband ordered the falafel plate. Hubby said the falafel was decent, but my Al Basha was only ok. The hummus had little flavour, the rice tasted like it came out of a pouch (instant rice style), and the dressing on the salad tasted like store brand italian, which was gross. The staff were very friendly in person and on the phone, but the food was poor.

Super popular after taking over the space that the Taco place was in. Everyone seems to love Shawarma places in this town, and this part of Kits was sorely lacking one, so these guys should do well. I get the falafel plate, which is pretty solid here. The only downside right now, is they seem a bit overwhelmed right now at the lunch rush. They could probably do more business then, as I’ve seen people turn away, but they’re focusing on keeping the quality high. They’ll be okay, it’s a great location.
