Sudbury

About the restaurant

Home kitchens throughout the Mediterranean have been cooking up family meals with fresh, flavorful ingredients for centuries. The traditional meals include names like Tabouli, Shawarma, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Baked Kibbee and more. Ask anyone of Lebanese descent, they will tell you these are the dishes of comfort and home.
The Sakhat family has taken their mother’s traditional recipes and inspiration to offer the finest Mediterranean & Lebanese cuisine in their El Basha restaurants. The brothers and their families are proud to represent their heritage and culture in warm and inviting restaurants enjoyable by all.
The El Basha restaurants have grown throughout the greater Worcester region with locations now in Worcester, Westborough, and Sudbury. As the brothers have grown the business, they continue to work on expanding the menu to include plates from other cultures, such as American Steak and Seafood.

Magnificent hidden gem in the Sudbury area! Highly recommend making a reservation as they were quite busy (we went around 7PM on a Friday night). Although busy, the staff were highly attentive, friendly, and comforting. As a party of two, the small portions of baba ghanouj and tabouli were perfect. The rakakat was incredible on it's own although paired nicely with a little baba ghanouj on top. Our number 1 mistake is having eyes bigger than our stomachs! We possibly could have shared a beef shawarma but instead both came home with leftover beef shawarma dishes. Cocktails tasted exceptional and felt larger than the typical cocktail served elsewhere (never a bad thing).

About the restaurant

Whether nibbling on small plates at the antipasti-wine bar, sipping an espresso, or having a meal in the open dining room, Alta Strada will always be approachable and accessible to anyone and everyone. With a true smile and the genuine desire to take care of you while you’re “in our house”, Alta Strada will focus on the foods of Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, and the Amalfi coast, while attempting to fill the much needed gap in Italian restaurants in America. Simply put, Alta Strada will be the place where you’ll find a perfectly made bowl of pasta, crispy thin pizza, gorgeous and abundant antipasti, and fantastic wines, all at a reasonable price, in a setting that could be found on a stylish via in Milan or Rome.

Consistently good food with good sized portions. The beet salad and wedge salad were particularly generous and delicious. We were there on a busy night and though my partner wanted a glass of wine when his dinner came, our server never came back till half our meal was consumed. He ended up foregoing his wine. The restaurant was festively decorated and the noise level where we were seated, was fine. Seemed loud in other areas but it was a busy night. All in all, we’ll be back again soon.

Hudson

About the restaurant

12.12.12 We began a journey together with the community of Hudson, Massachusetts. An idea to open a small flatbread shop evolved into something we could only dream about. Our story is about a community's hope to do something special and to bring attention back to the things that matter most- like sitting around a fire, with warm friends, cold beers and great flatbread! Although delicious wood fired flatbread pizza is the champion on our menu it's just the beginning -we are a family friendly restaurant offering unique spins on new American comfort food classics like burgers, chicken tenders, tacos and mac and cheese to name a few.

Love this place-always great- service amazing, food is terrific. Request a table in the main dining area- the ambiance isn’t the same in the overflow space. JC and Marshall are the best waiters ever.
