Za Zaa - Barfi - Vegi & Vegan in Basel

Sweet and atmospheric townhouse, super tasty - also vegan - wraps with falafel and hummus. Seating on multiple floors. Also delicious lemonade! The prices are moderate by Swiss standards.

No salt and no good spices, it was totally bland. Falafel is okay but, hallumi was just average.

Moussaka Halloumi very delicious!

a disappointed discovery, not great food, I took something with inedible cheese, rubbery taste, too salty, not fresh. I'm not coming back!

Unfortunately the food is not tasty. The falafel was dry and the pita tasted bland. This refers to the shop at Barfi. The drink was delicious.

Very good vegetarian vegan middle Eastern food. Falafels 10CHF for 5

The homemade lemonade and wraps were delicious

I'm a big fan of the food, but unfortunately I was served very unfriendly today. At first I wasn't greeted properly, so I was sent outside in an unfriendly manner with a stroller to wait, even though there were no other customers there. When I put the beeper back on the counter, I was harshly yelled at and told to hand it straight back into my hand. What a pity…

delicious libanese food and cute interior.

Best falafel sandwich I’ve had outside the Middle East!

Better than comparable offers in Basel. Great staff and fine food. Update: 06/13/23 Wrap a little too dry, service excellent 🧡

On vacation there, we tried this restaurant. Super good. The service is also very fast. You can eat in or take away. The chef speaks several languages ​​including French. It's big, delicious portions for a very reasonable price.

The ambiance and the service was great, we expected the food to be the same. We were disappointed that the pitas were lacking much salt (mostly the falafel itself) and they were dry (lacking sauce or tomatoes/veggies). We happened to have some spicy peanuts in our backpack, which was the only thing that saved the experience.

Very tasty pitas and my go-to shop if you want reasonably healthy, delicious food (to-go) in the city. Preparation is quick. Very simple and lovingly and charmingly furnished shop. It's a shame it's closed on Sundays.

Very tasty food, friendly staff, very good, keep it up

Very nice place for a quick bite with Levantine flavors and aromas. Service is great and the place runs super efficiently.

Really friendly and chill ppl,, mezze box goes hard for a picnic

Great food in a small and special “restaurant”. On the ground floor is the cash register and the counter, which is similar to a kebab stand and makes it easy to take food with you on the go. If you eat there you get one of those beeping cards that notify you when your food is ready and can be picked up. Unfortunately you have to get it yourself and then take it up the stairs and find a place there. But with a staff of one person, that's ok. The pitas are very tasty and the prices are reasonable. The toilets are very clean and the general atmosphere is too. I'd love to come back

Very good address, welcoming staff, the food is delicious

Very great restaurant! The service is very nice, the food is very tasty. There are several seating areas.

If you are vegan vegi and want to try Middle East food. People visiting there are also pretty cool.

Friendly welcome. Very nice plate, delicious and fresh!

Great food! Tasty, fast, vegetarian, healthy, and good value for money too! My new lunch favorite in Basel!

A small snack bar with a fine dish, very interesting if you want to try something different, I can only recommend it.

Fantastic falafel pita and quick service

Very tasty food. The hummus is particularly recommended. Nice service :)

Menu is pretty tasty, great value for money 🥰

A small and quiet restaurant that transports you to North Africa/ Middle East. Both in terms of hospitality as well as well as the quality/ quantity of food. Limited seating places but highly recommended espcially if you are a couple. Their platter for two was excellent.

Not too much choice and very small portions

The service is very friendly and accommodating and the restaurant is beautifully decorated! While we were ordering, we were approached by the chef, completely unexpectedly and without prior notice, asking whether we were actually okay and whether everything was okay with us... The situation was also visibly unpleasant for the waitress and the new kitchen employee. Until the end it wasn't clear why or what he reacted to like that. I would have preferred to write about the good food, but something like that spoils your desire!!!

Brilliant food at a fair price. Falloumi Pita for 12.- or Falafel Pita for 11.- are highly recommended. There is the option of simply taking the food away or sitting at tables on the first and second floors.

Good selection, very tasty food and friendly staff. You walk past it quickly, but you shouldn't 😉

A great place to eat vegetarian or vegan. Friendly guy, good prices, beautiful ambient and good vibes

Delicious. A light alternative, especially in summer.

Good food at affordable prices in Basel.

Unfortunately, the floor and the tables in all rooms were dirty. Food wasn't tasty.

Wonderful little restaurant, delicious middle-eastern dishes, lots of vegan and vegetarian options, friendly service.

Closes before clsoing times, very frustrating and unpolite staff allthough food is good but since they dont stick to their closing times I cant gjve them any more stars..

super tasty and very nice service! great recommendation!!

Amazing pita here, maybe not the biggest but definitely one of the best I ever had.

why that mexican convenience flatbread? doesn´t match at all with the lebanese food. nice atmosphere and the food tastes good, but the falafel and halloumi are pre-fried and just warmed up a bit, which is also quite a bummer.

Really nice foood and lovely staff. Have been here twice, and both times different people served us. They were both really nice to us and sometimes, that matters more than the food. The food was also great.

friendly service and good value for money

The Falafel Pita was not good at all this time... old salad, not tasty and I couldn't even taste the hummus as it was so little. It has no agreable smell in general. It used to be a good place but not anymore! I won't return for sure

I was there back in 2019 and it was excellent! This time it was not good at all... the salad was old (browny), falafel too salty and the taste was not good in general. I won't be back for sure!

I am very happy that there are vegetarian restaurants. In some restaurants, they heat up the food of vegetarians in the same dish where there was meat, without any remorse. Here I like that it is a fast service. With a simple but filling menu it is easy for her to make decisions. You look at the window and you already know what you want. The staff is very kind. I wish you success and bon appetit.

I highly recommend their falafel plate, the humus is delicious and the falafels just right. My personal favorite touch is the pink pickled radish (or some other delicious vegetable)

Great for very well priced and healthy take away (bc of corona times), which is a great plus in these days. I took a hallumi pita and really enjoyed it.

I love this restaurant and I have been there many times and also taking away. However, Im very disappointed because today I went at 20:33h to Za Zaa Barfi and the lady that was there told me that she was cleaning and already closed and she did not allow me to order. However, the timetable was until 21h. I understand that if you get the place 5-10 minutes before closing, that can happen but almost 30 minutes before??

Always a pleasure to grab something at Za Zaa. So delicious in any case 👏

(Traducido por Google) Muy insalubre. Estuvimos allí el sábado por la noche y el empleado no cumplió con los estándares mínimos de higiene. Llevaba un guante en la mano derecha, pero no en la izquierda. Con la izquierda, cobró el dinero y luego enrolló el envoltorio con ambas manos. Las manos nunca se lavaron ni desinfectaron. He tenido problemas intestinales desde ayer y me imagino de dónde vino. Especialmente ahora en tiempos de Corona / Covid, es inaceptable no cumplir con el nivel mínimo de higiene. No volveremos. (Original) Sehr unhygienisch. Waren Samstag Abend da und der Mitarbeiter hielt sich nicht an die mindesten Hygienestandards. An der rechten Hand hatte er einen Handschuh an, an der linken nicht. Mit der linken, kassierte er das Geld ab, um danach mit beiden Händen, den Wrap zu rollen. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt wurden Hände gewaschen oder desinfiziert. Seit gestern habe ich Darmprobleme und ich kann mir vorstellen, woher dies kam. Gerade jetzt in Zeiten von Corona/ Covid ist das inakzeptabel, nicht das Mindestmaß an Hygiene einzuhalten. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

(Traducido por Google) "Un lugar para poner a prueba tu paciencia ..." Es el momento de tomar su pedido desde el momento en que entra en 0,01 segundos ... es hora de RECIBIR el pedido de 25 a 30 minutos para preparar una envoltura de Falafel. Esta es la razón por la cual la gente acude a McDonalds, incluso si la calidad de la comida es peor y es incluso más costosa, al menos no desperdicia LA MITAD DE LA HORA DE ALMUERZO. Como crítico constructivo, si ustedes ven esto, MEJOREN los PROCESOS en el restaurante. Actualización: sigue siendo un buen lugar, pero solo evita las horas punta. (Original) "A place to test your patience..." Time to take your order from the moment you step in 0,01 seconds... time to RECEIVE the order 25 - 30 mins to prepare a Falafel Wrap. This is why people goes McDonalds, even if the food quality is worse and its even more expensive, at least you dont waste HALF OF YOUR LUNCH TIME. As a constructive critic, if you guys ever see this, IMPROVE the PROCESSES on the Restaurant. Update: still a good place, but just avoid peak hours.
