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.
The word El Basha, meaning sage or seer, is a tribute to their mother. While it is fair to say that being in business since 1991 has made their mother proud, they put their efforts into making the restaurants be the best experience for every guest.

Went to a surprise birthday party at El Basha on Park Ave in Worcester. The food was very good. The mezza plates with hummus ,babaganoush,kibi were very tasty. The main course of losh kebab was very good too. The service and the attentiveness of the staff was excellent. Good place to have a function with great Middle Eastern food. Highly recommend this place

Good middle eastern selection and food, although the food quality varies depending on the cook. Also they have a very large drinks selection (somewhat unusual for a middle eastern restaurant).

My sister and I love El Basha and we have been coming here for years. Their cold and hot mezzeh are great for drinks and apps. We’ve made a whole meal out of them before. Most recently we both had sea food (salmon and swordfish) and rice. Both dishes were great! I highly recommend it for lunch and dinner. They also have a fairly large banquet room in the back we just found out about!

Awesome food. All the meats were cooked perfectly. A little expensive. The atmosphere needs work though. The decor is just kind of boring and needs updating, especially to justify the cost of the food.

I ordered combo-kebab platter with a choice of medium rare. I didn’t really like my meat because it was cooked well-done and the the vegetables were totally burned, see the pic. I don’t understand why they would give an apparent burned food. Rice pilaf was really good tho.
