About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

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.

We were the last reservation of the night. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I had the pumpkin Kibby, which made me happy. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Seasoned well The cocktails were made very well and were different. Than a shopping plaza but definitely feels different on the inside. Nice ambience. Did not feel rushed to leave. We’ll go back again.

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).

We were really pleased with the food. We kept our order simple by taking them up on their pre-packaged "works" offering - $50/pp (2 min) which included several starters and assorted grilled kebabs over rice plus dessert. Their take on baba ganoush was excellent - I make the stuff myself, and I'm pretty pleased with mine...Theirs was better. In fact better than I've had from anywhere else. The humus was also excellent as were the grape leaves. The kibbe was exceptional both as to ratio of meat to grain and also texture and flavor. Fattoush salad, labne - everything on the table was exemplary. Honestly, I'm a tough grader and this stuff was far better than expected and worth a trip there all by itself. Then the grilled meats - the lamb, the chicken, the kofta (really interesting) all excellent as well. Some nice grilled veg as well. The rice was the only let-down, and frankly at this point with their overachievement everywhere else - who cares? Dessert included was baklava - a good example, but not a highlight for me. Bottom line for me is these folks know how to cook, seem to have some real tradition driving their recipes (as they are distinctive), and offered way more quality and quantity (did I mention quantity) than expected. My cocktail was also good, btw. I am mostly disappointed by suburban restaurants, but not so this time. This discerning diner will definitely return.

We are return customers. We ordered the same meal and it was not the same. The lamb was tender and good, but there were minimal vegetables, mostly onions. Our first experience the portion of meat, rice and vegetables was generous.. Now for the same price, the serving was half the size. The Amazing experience was now Meh. I do not think we will travel as far again to El Basha.

The tabouli was great. Fascinatingly interesting menu. Maybe I'll eventually try something else, but I can't resist my usual dish of beef Port Saiid. Likewise, my companion had his usual grilled chicken and loved it.
