Food: Innovative dishes divine

Shifting paradigms of Middle Eastern cuisine, Basbussa impresses with its dishes, boasting of imagination and freshest of ingredients. The Eggplant Sabich stands out as an embodiment of perfect roasting while the delightfully light Fattoush Salad comes highly recommended. The taste of the Tuna tartare and short rib is an exquisite symphony that makes the dining experience noteworthy. However, their overall culinary exploits are tarnished by disappointingly high prices.

Vibe: Elegant decor meets loud music

The vibrantly elegant ambiance of Basbussa is accentuated by live entertainment, making your meal special. The picturesque setting is ideal for dates, though the blend of restaurant and nightclub vibe may not appeal to all. While its popularity draws in hordes of diners, the high noise levels can negatively impact conversations. Drinks could use more effort as they often fall flat and overpriced.

  • Great Ambiance

    Elegant, vibrant ambiance enhances dining with comfortable, stylish setting.

  • Okay to Entertain

    Music and performances enhance vibe but can be too loud for some.

  • Bad Drinks

    Overpriced, watered-down, weak drinks detract from dining experience significantly.

Perks: Service glitches mar experience

Parking at Basbussa presents no hassle with a valet service with occasional high-costing street parking. Despite taking reservations, the restaurant stumbles in fulfilling them, leading to nonchalant customer service. The loud music does not go well with group events, transforming the ambiance more suitable for party than dining. Additionally, the noted unprofessional and rushed behavior of the staff is unimpressive.

  • Okay To Park

    Valet service available; street parking possible but can total high costs.

  • Bad Service

    Terrible customer service, rude staff, rushed, unprofessional behavior noted.
