Valentines Day disaster

by cutie0999

My bf made reservations at this place. What a disaster the service was terrible. We were so focused on why we werent getting our drinks or food that we had a dinner that was far from romantic. We finished out first round of drinks before getting our appetizer. We didnt get our second round of drinks till after we were finished with our meal. mind you we asked for our second round 3 times, the 3 rd time asking the manager. He didnt seem to care. He told someone to go get our drinks for us instead of going to the bar and making sure we got them promptly. There are way yo many excellent restaurants in this city to bother with such slow and rude service. I would go with Chandlier its less than a mile up the street. The food is excellent.

• Pros: very clean
• Cons:  slow to be seated and we had reservations, slow service, did nothing to fix it

Lacks ambiance, but big on flavor

by westie2

This is a small Mediterranean storefront restaurant lacking in ambiance, but guaranteed to please the palate. I ordered kafta kabob with beef in special spices, which was accompanied by grilled eggplant, rice and some additional vegetables. My wife's mousaka arrived accompanied by a salad and rice. We also received a basket of pita bread and complimentary baklava. Everything was delicious and the bill of fare will leave money in your pocket.

Best Gyro's in Vegas

by mwire

We have been to Al Basha's 3 times now and everytime has been great. Don't be misled by small strip mall setting. The food, service and atmosphere are great. Service staff is always very attentive and quick to make sure you are happy. We decided to try an unknown (to us) international beer and they were quick with recommendations (most were great!) and also quick to replace a variety we didn't like. Great value as well! Would recommend Al Basha's to anyone.

• Pros: Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere
