Albasha Sweet

Possibly the best Middle Eastern sweets in South Suburbs of Chicago. Very polite people always hand you a sample when you walk in. I’ve tried a few in Chicago but nothing compares to AlBasha, make sure you get it HOT & FRESH and don’t forget to ask for syrup and pistachios for your Knafa. I swear this place serves the most addicting hot knafa and wabrat/​Kolaj! I hope they start adding new items to the menu like layalee Lebanon, and the cheese rolls I don’t know why you call them.
I wish they had a bigger dining area to site with friends or family and enjoy your sweets on the spot. But the place isn’t spacious enough. 90% of the time I either pick it up to go and 10% of time I’ll it in the car lol.

The man behind the counter is very helpful. He does well at explaining what you see before you. The prices here are good enough for multiple returns.

The desserts here are fantastic… but the service outdoes it! Extremely sweet (pun intended), friendly, and even gave us some samples to take along free of charge! It was early in the day but she was quick to whip up a knafa for me to take as I was going on a trip out of town. I definitely plan to go back. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

I love this place. they make the best sweets ever !

I like the sweets here. But I wish the inside there is more tables and more welcoming. It feels like it’s catering pick up only. But seriously there sweets are very good. I don’t go there a lot because the place feels like pick up orders. They need to make it more welcoming…

I am giving this place 5 stars!!! From the kanefa to the wrabat and others there so good, everything’s on point. The employees are so nice.

We walked in at closing, the owner let us stay and eat as he was cleaning. I had for the first time the «Kanafeh». This place is quality. I was very happy with my sweets. So many other options to try. I will be back.

Yum times a thousand! If you want amazing Middle Eastern sweets, this is the place to go to. I’ve been going there for many many years. Al basha seems to impress me every time I go there. I highly recommend their knafe (knafa) or warbat!

Must-​have, if you’re in the area or you simply want to try Arabic sweets. (If you’ve only had baklava, especially the boxed kind, that’s just the tip of the iceberg! So much more! Even Basha doesn’t cover it all.)
I love their knafe, their nummoora/​hareesa, awamat, maamoul, and these little moist coconut balls of their own invention, I think! I’m not sure what’s in them, but they’re filling. Too bad because you’ll want to have more! They invent their own treats often! They always have baklava, hareesa and knafe, but the rest varies, so call ahead if you want something specific or if you’re curious about the day’s specials!
The service is always polite, friendly, and fast too. The only place that may be even better is ElShafei in Burbank. He makes the sweet, decadent halawet el jibn treats, all cheese and syrup, all goodness! By the way, if you’re at Basha, there’s Bawadi grill across the street for dining, Pita Bakery for savories, like spinach pies, and next door, Al-​Omari (hijab, abaya, long skirts) and Mary’s, a women’s-only salon.

So I was born in Egypt and used to Middle Eastern sweets Egyptian style and I’ve to say their Regular Knafeh (not Naboulsy) seems to taste very Egyptian to me. Also their sweets are always fresh and they are always pleasant when meeting customers. I drive all the way from Northwest Chicago to them because of how good their sweets are.

Albasha sweets has great quality sweets. I admire their customer service and their wide variety of products. They has Knafeh with sugar substitute for diabetics or anyone who is cutting down on calories and it tastes great and no difference from the regular sugar syrup.
