We saw a review of El Basha's Egyptian Garage Plate a few weeks ago and decided we needed to try it when everyone was home over the holidays. The five of us each had a different menu item and we ordered tabbouleh and hummus for the table. We took advantage of a coupon on their menu and shared a free order of baklava.

Everything was made order with freshly prepared ingredients. The owner came out to talk to us a couple of times and when it was mentioned that their hot sauce was so good, he brought out a small container for us to take home when he brought over containers for our leftovers. Our lunch items also included shwarma, chicken kabobs, the Egyptian garbage plate and a falafel wrap. All Excellent.

They use disposable plates and utensils, which might make some people believe that the food should be served quickly like fast food. It does take a while to take the food to be prepared, this is not fast food. Relax and enjoy some tea while you wait.

We've had take-out from this restaurant twice now. The first time, we ordered when we got there, and it was a very long wait. The hostess felt bad and gave us free dessert. The second time, we called the order in ahead of time, so the pick-up was much smoother. The food is delicious, the ingredients fresh. We'll definitely be back.
