Reviews for Albasha Greek and Lebanese Restaurant - Hammond in Hammond, LA
Maybe it's just this location because I've had a good experience with an Alabasha in the past, but not this one. First off all... the value for the money was no way worth it. I ordered the lamb Kabob, which I was told would come out medium. Along with 5small pieces of lamb you get a small mound of rice, some romaine lettuce and a little tasteless humus. The lamb was well done, and I mean well done, grey in color, dry and tasteless. I let the server know, and no one ever came to check on myexperience with the food. I paid the bill, tipped the server and reminded myself, never eat there again. Read more
The food is always delicious and plentiful. We ordered take out; 3 shwarma plates. We only received two salads and one pack of... two pita halves. That was disappointing. The restaurant offered to replace what is missing. Definitely check your takeout orderbefore you leave. Read more
A very good restaurant. Food and Service was good. Parking and handicap accessible adequate. Salmon was very good except it was... overcooked. I should have said medium but was never asked. Read more
I'll give you 2.5 stars. 4 stars for the foods but 1 star for service, which I will round DOWN. My wife and I went on July 9th... to get take out for my parent's anniversary and were so excited to try the food. Everything was going great right until theVERY end when the server was bringing the food and at about four feet from us the bag came apart and ALL the food came out andonto the floor! We were in total shock and disbelief at this, being so close to having our food and now we would have to wait. During this time, NO ONE even came to apologize or offer any type of assurance that the restaurant would do their BEST to makesure our order was going to be of top notch quality. Being that my wife and I have both previously worked as servers, we weretotally dismayed by the entire staff's behavior toward this situation. Before leaving the restaurant, we double checked to makesure everything was in order, which it was. This time, the order came in TWO bags - one for hot and one for cold items. Instead of one bag containing all the food, which was the server's mistake in the first place as there was no way this brown bagcould hold all this food together. My parent's were none the wiser about what happened and enjoyed their food very much athome. However, my wife and I are were appalled that it was just business as usual during our wait and no one even bothered tocheck up on us, offer us a drink while we waited, or assure us that our order would be of the highest standard and quality(since it fell on the floor). Since the food did come out to be quite tasty, at some point we will consider to dine-in. I hopeour experience will change and we will receive much better service in the future. Read more
Lambchops were great, cooked perfectly medium rare and tender enough to pull apart. Hummus was great salad was also very... good! Staff were also very respectful and responsive. Read more
Had the chicken shawarma and gyros combination this time. Excellent! Service was great as usual, no waiting for service for... lunch, and food came out of the kitchen quickly. Restaurant was clean and smelled nice. Given the consistent quality, this is mygo-to place now. They are good value for the food and ride the edge of no frills date night and suit and tie, black cocktaildress date night rather well. The latter will be a bit unusual but the decor lends itself well to either one. Read more
Best Greek food hands down in our area. The service is very great and tea was perfect. They are super quick and take care of... your refills fast. The Gyro plate is so good. Each piece of meat is tender and juicy. The hummus is so good. A+ overall Read more
Excellent Greek style food! This Mediterranean style cuisine is my go to for comfort food. We got seated right away in a nice... cozy booth. Our food came out fast and the server was attentive and kind. I really liked the salad dressing for the fetasalad. It was creamy and not the usual vinaigrette. I just wish they started offering the "Turkish " style coffee again. Read more
