Best shawarma in Vancouver! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The hummus is incredibly creamy and fresh. I'm here at least twice a week β totally addicted.
The falafel here is in a different league. Crispy outside, perfectly soft inside. Apparently this is the only place locally that makes them fresh like this! Worth every penny.
We ordered catering for our office lunch and everyone was blown away. Fresh, incredibly flavorful, and the portions were extremely generous. The staff were super friendly too. Will definitely order again!
Love this spot on Cornwall! The veggie lover plate is my go-to β dolmathes, falafel, hummus and tabouleh. Everything is made in-house and you can taste the difference. Highly recommend.
Hidden gem in Kits! Stumbled upon this place and it's now a weekly ritual. The chicken shawarma plate is incredible β rice cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce is absolutely addictive.
I've tried Mediterranean food all over Vancouver and Al Basha is consistently the best. Their pita bread is always warm and soft, the baklava is divine, and the price is very reasonable for the quality.
