Daood Basha Cuisine

Restaurant does not offer any sort of beverage not even water no cups nothing you have to buy bottled water or cans of pop out of the refrigerator. We ordered the family platter for 4 to 6 people and only received two very small shot glass cups of sauces. We had to keep asking for bread because we weren’t given enough pitas for six people. You don’t get a lot of meat or appetizers with a platter but you get a ton of rice. I wouldn’t classify this place as a restaurant more like a walk up and wait for food.

Soo yummy! Best food I’ve had in a while. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been to so many halal restaurants and I can assure you that is one of the best, very large portions and the food is very tasty, the chicken and meat is NOT dry nor hard, just perfect. I highly recommend visiting this lovely restaurant
Ps: the waiter was very quick and nice.

First of all want to be very clear the quality of food is very clean and fresh. However here is where everything goes south..this store is a straight up American Middle Eastern food. I am a very multi cultural person who lived in Egypt, visited Turkey and just plainly loves quality food. Upon entering the store it is very clean however the set up was more like a franchise. The shawarma that I ordered was not and I repeat was not a traditional shawarma and I ordered both chicken and beef. The guy tried to convince me that it was traditional and.i said buddy no. The chicken was as it was thrown on the grill flavors all over the place, and slapped onto a plain tortilla. Yes! Who makes shawarmas with tortillas? Where is the shami bread? And also the white sauce was a joke.. the beef shawarma absolutely disgusting. The beef was harder than cardboard. The hummus hsd chunks of meat so hard. I am very disappointed.

Despite being severely understaffed, I had a feeling that the food would be worth the wait. Surprisingly the food came out relatively fast despite the short staff. There was a wonderful Egyptian waitress who was doing her best to wait an (initially) packed restaurant during rush hour traffic. She was incredibly sweet, and took our orders.

The restaurant decor was extremely plain, and appeared to be a repurposed lobby of some form of business space. But while its ambience seemed a little out of place for a restaurant, it absolutely did not ruin the experience at all.

I ate tabouli and the hummus & chicken platter. Now I'm used to greek and lebanese hummus, not Egyptian hummus. Egyptian hummus contains an ingredient called sumac, traditional to Egypt, but tastes extremely unfamiliar to those familiar to greek or Lebanese hummus. Do not expect greek or lebanese hummus flavors. Perhaps this is the most surprising part of the flavors I did not particularly like, but a little tahini helped the flavor quite a bit (which is itself an ingredient of hummus).

The chicken schwarma itself was extremely juicy and tender, and had a very wonderful caramelization on the outside.

The tabouli was not the best I've ever had, but it was pretty decent. I suppose again the main thing I didn't like is the cultural difference from the lebanese tabouli I am more used to.

I tried the falafel off of my family, and it was definitely very crunchy and soft, and everything else my family ate was delicious.

Funnily enough we were about to go to an overpriced kosher restaurant--before realizing they were closed for Sabbat. We came here as a happy accident, and I couldn't be more happier we all somehow simultaneously forgot the Sabbat, and ended up here instead. The prices here were very reasonable, and the food was absolutely worth the price. I very much will be coming back here.

This is a great option for food in the aree around universal. We ordered their platter for 2-3 people and the starters were amazing. The hummus was so good and the fatoush salad was refreshing after walking all day. Their platter seemed fresh, but I think the meat could have been cooked a few minutes less so it's juicer. I found the kafta and beef shish to be extremely dry and tasty. The chicken was better, but it's really hard to mess up dark meat. If you go, ask them to not overcook your meat.

The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the quality was wonderful for the eyes and body, and over all the experience was extraordinary. In the near future I am going to bring my spouse here, and I will return back here to this amazing restaurant. If you’re in Orlando you should definitely check this place out!! 😁😁😁
