Al Basha - Fairly Hideous

Although Al Basha is quite highly rated by some, the Fat Spoon was not impressed. The décor is about as classy as a pint of Lambrini and looks more dated than your Grandma's curtains. Although the food was indeed authentic Lebanese cuisine, prepared to a decent standard and quite tasty; finding part of the chef in the chicken shawarma was far from ideal. A thick black hair protruding from your meal is usually enough to put off the majority of restaurant goers, but failing to offer a refund as a result seals the deal. Unacceptable. Further to this, the table service was sluggish and careless, enough to send the Fat Spoon into a state of unforgiving rage. Perhaps on a different occasion Al Basha might have lived up to it's expectations, but evidently consistency isn't their strong point. Rating....very poor. 22%
