Welcome to Yonge Street, the Shawarma capital of the GTA.
Basha is now my new favourite place to go for shawarmas in the neighborhood.
No, it's not the same Basha found in Montreal.
Good. I like this one better.
I can't say it's because they have the best shawarma in the city, because I didn't order a shawarma.
But I did have the grilled eggplant pita, and it was mighty tasty.
They have two sizes of sandwich, the pita is smaller, the laffa is larger.
The small was just the right portion for me. The sandwich was oily, dripping with sauce, and pretty salty..but also very enjoyable. It was flavour packed, which really surprised me. And the pita wasn't too thick and bready.
The service was awesome!
Very friendly and chatty while I waited for my pita (grilled to order, so it's a few minutes).
They told me their favourite thing on the menu is the lamb kebob.
I'm getting that next time. That or the vegetarian pita which is eggplant AND falafel! =)
