Babasheesh

I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF GOOGLE WOULD LET ME I am not a person that randomly leaves negative reviews, I genuinely believe that you can be unlucky and get an off day so after previously visited Babasheesh in Chatham and not having a particular good visit, I decided to give it another chance WORST decision EVER. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY Our table was booked for 7.30 and we arrived on time and we were very surprised at how few diners there were We were seated at our table and left for half an hour before being approached by a server as we had been left we knew what dishes we wanted as well as what drinks so it was all ordered together We waited another 15 minutes for our drinks The starters arrived one of the dishes was nothing like described deep fried halloumi with salad, they bought deep fried halloumi in a pile of olives, not great as the person who's starter it was didn't eat olives. We put the olives onto another plate problem solved Then the server bought over a vegetable and a lamb moussaka, I said we didn’t order vegetable only lamb along with kleftiko and a kebab The kleftico was bought to the table and the server said “I’m the bearer of bad news don’t shoot the messenger, the chef has messed up he has lots of kebabs being cooked he’ll do yours as soon as he can”! But no apology “I can bring you some bread to eat”. I also pointed out I had ordered broccoli as a side but had not received it Our dinners were going cold so our friend said start yours I’ll catch up We ordered some more drinks 30 minutes later no drinks and no kebab or broccoli

The lamb kleftiko was like a dogs bone very little meat and I can’t explain how bad the moussaka was it was tasteless and in a watery sauce not a bit like moussaka

Like I said the restaurant was not busy, the person behind the bar was just standing there I called the server over and he said “Oh yeah your drinks”. Still no apology We said cancel the drinks and the other dinner A young girl was sent over and gave us a half hearted sorry

We will NEVER EVER go back Shocking from start to finish Rude staff, rubbish service, disgusting food. I can see why it was so empty shame as it’s in a lovely location. Hopefully they will close down soon and a decent restaurant will take over
