Al Bacha

Authentic Mediterranean / Middle Eastern dishes, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Street parking only. My order of delicious baba ghanoush and creamy lentil soup served with freshly made flatbread came to less than $20. Baba ghanoush a smoky, creamy Levantine dip made from roasted or charred eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. It is a rare find in the SouthSound, so I seize the opportunity and was not disappointed. It was delicious! Within it's niche as a street-side diner in gritty, downtown Tacoma, it definitely deserves five stars across the board.

I came here with my mother at 7pm. The restaurant was empty. The atmosphere was inviting, bright and calming. The staff was quite friendly and accommodating. We got the Deluxe Gyro Plate w/ Greek Fries for less than $30 you can't really beat the prices! The food was delicious 10/10.

Got the #17 combo with lamb. It was fantastic service, very quick on getting the food out, and the taste was amazing. Sauces weren’t applied too heavily. Seasoning on the fries was on point. Super clean bathroom and dining area! I would definitely come here again.

We have been getting items here for a couple of years now. The food taste so good and reminds us of Greece and other travels. There’s plenty of options and they do not skimp on the meat! The service is friendly. It’s in a great place in Tacoma and comfortable seating and pleasant atmosphere.

Delightful food! Maria (I think that was her name?) has a warm smile, and lovely energy! 😊 My girlfriend bought the #1 gyro sandwich, and I got the lamb and beef gyro combo. My meat was cooked to perfection, and the fries and sauce were lovely! My partner happily devoured her's! 😄 Overall, the food was delicious. It felt like the subtle changes made to Americanize Mediterranean food were welcome, and helped to highlight the cuisine. Before we left, we noticed Turkish coffee on the menu. We ordered some, and it was presented traditionally. It was INCREDIBLE! My girlfriend was a barista for 2 years, and she developed a taste for straight espresso. She said it was some of the best coffee she's had in her life. I usually like my coffee with cream, but I thought it was absolutely delicious
