What's up with all the crazy love for Basha here? Someone driving two hours from Vermont just to eat there? You gotta be kidding me. Sure, Basha's the best Middle Eastern chain in Montreal but that's sorta like calling chlamydia the best sexually transmitted disease. I jest. I actually eat there when I'm downtown cause there's not much else in the area (and I might've given it three stars but feel the need to balance out the five star lunacy). If you like greasy meat on a stick, salads soggy from soaking in too much cheap oil and vinegar (and oh so much vinegar - it makes the salads stomach-churningly sour) and shish taouk made from the gristliest chicken this side of Kentucky, then it might be your favorite place in town. For others, it's a passable place to go when the stomach is growling and there's nothing else in sight besides food courts and McDonalds...
