Kabab El Basha

Everything was delicious, and the staff there super nice. We got a. Ordering to go, and the portions were so generous we had yummy leftovers!

Recently moved to the Corona area and this place is one of my new favorites. Very friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I had the lamb chops my last time there and I would highly recommend them.

I've been to a few Mediterranean places in corona but this place is my absolute favorite. Food is always fresh and delicious. I love their hummus and garlic paste. Everything is so authentic. Customer service is wonderful. I recommend the chicken tawook.

Nice quiet joint it was clean, service was good and food was on point!!!! No beer is served here, one stall restroom. Self serve soft drinks. The music had me moving. Yummy yummy yummy

Overall, service was great but the food is okay in my opinion. It was a little on the pricey side too. I got the beef shawarma and Greek salad to go. I enjoyed the Greek salad. The beef was decent but nothing special - it was a bit dry. It came with pita bread on the side which might have been old cause it was hard. Don't think I would go out of my way to come here.

Great flavors and clean restaurant. Fresh piping hot pita and would recommend their kebabs the most out of all the proteins. Garlic sauce and hummus were super delicious. Price was a bit on the higher end -- $19-25 per plate.

Wonderful place!!! First the service is outstanding, the staff seems to be a family run kind of thing. Super nice! I LOVE their baba ganoush! The beef kaybab is always delicious and cooked just right! The place is spotless and the ambiance casual.

A couple of weeks ago, I was driving through Corona and wanted to take a break so I exited & did a Yelp search which came up with Kebab El Basha and I thought to try it out. What a great find! The owners are extremely friendly. I had a great meal with the Chicken Tawook Kabab. But the really great thing was topping it off with a serving of their baklava, which was just stashed full of pistachios. And while drinks are not on their menu, it's mentioned that drinks are available. I ordered a Turkish coffee, which was absolutely the perfect accompaniment to the baklava. So for foodies, if you happen to be on the SR-91 near Corona, this restaurant is not far off the freeway. So I'd highly recommend a very short detour and try this place out. Wonderful!

As others have discovered without my putting in my 2 cents, Corona has a lovely little, mom and pop Mediterranean (Egyptian) restaurant in our mid-town! The last time we were here was not quite a year ago. They had recently moved to this location from neighboring Riverside. I recall their menu was abbreviated, which I cannot say today; it is quite impressive for such a small storefront. I failed to Yelp it at that time, so now I need to make up for a lost opportunity. We started with a couple of appetizers. The one that caught my eye was a spinach filled pie. Not really a pie (their name, not mine), it is a 4-bite, soft, baked dough shaped into a triangle with a very authentic tasting, tangy spinach filling. They are served warm. Loved it!Being big falafel fans, but extremely picky, we had to try some of their's. We have been unable to find a good one locally. The very thoughtful owner delivered 2 to our table, compliments of the house. Thank you so much! Their falafel is a blend of ground Fava beans, mediterranean spices, and sesame seeds . The crispy brown exterior hides a very tender, green interior, and they are delicious. Now that I know, I will order these without hesitation.Lunch time is a great time to go. There are 6 plates offered on their Lunch Special list that are all currently (May 2023) priced at $10.99. In addition to your choice of entree, it includes a cucumber, parsley, tomato, dill, and onion chopped salad, rice, and warm pita bread. Smaller servings, but still filling, this deal is a great opportunity to taste some of their more recognizable Mediterranean items.I chose the Gyros Lunch - 3 healthy slices of a beef/lamb mix, deliciously seasoned with spices, with a smear of tztaziki on a fresh pita. The gyro meat was wonderful, the pita soft and delicious. They also included a small paper cup of homemade tzatziki, a rich Greek yogurt and dill spread, two slices of pickle, and a big mound of yellow rice. The yellow rice is a lightly seasoned basmati. There is something deliciously subtle lurking in their recipe; might it be clove spice and turmeric I taste? Whatever, the rice was yummy.We also got to taste the hummus. The hummus is creamy and fresh, obviously house made, and is one of the better ones I have tasted. It arrived in a small cup with a good olive oil drizzle and sumac. After tasting this, I would consider one of their dishes that features the hummus with a chopped beef topping, a meal in itself.The Lamb Kabob (not on the Lunch Specials) came with 5 large cubes of meat. The platter includes salad, rice, and pita. I was not in love with the cut of meat they used, a little too lean and chewy, but Mr. B, the guy who always orders lamb, said he would get it again.All in all, it was a very pleasing meal. The seasonings in their food tasted exactly the way I love, the owner and wife were very kind, and the interior was sparkling clean and friendly. And living nearby is a real plus for us.

We recently moved to Corona, so we are always on the lookout for good ethnic food. We drove by Kabab El Basha many times, so today we decided to give it a try. We had their $12.99 liunch special. I ordered Chicken Tawook kebab and my wife had Chicken Lula. Each dish came with a side of salad, rice, bread, and a garlic spread. Everything was excellent, the food came out fast and hot. It was spiced just right, and the chicken kebab was tender. To top off the lunch we had baklava and arabic coffee. Everthing we had was full of flavor, it was fresh, and the food temperature was just right. And the service was excellent. We will definitely come back again. We found a hidden gem in Corona!
