"Kabab El Basha, with its Egyptian influence, is one of the first Mediterranean restaurants in the Inland Empire that offers more than just the standard hummus/falafel combo. In addition to these classics, they also offer dishes such as spinach pie, vegan moussaka, Mohammara, Potato Maza, and more – all clearly labeled as vegan. In fact, there are even a few vegan options that are not labeled as such (I have double-checked).
While the food may be a bit pricier compared to similar restaurants in the area, it is well worth it. The wait time can also be longer at times, but I recommend browsing their store while you wait, as it features a variety of goodies from the region.
For me, Kabab El Basha is one of the only places where I can find genuine flavors and unique dishes expertly prepared with quality veggies and hand-selected spices. It is one of my favorites in Riverside, and easily deserves all four of my stars."
