El Elbasha / Middle Eastern / Asoke
El Elbasha sits in the strong Middle Eastern dining scene that the Asoke and Sukhumvit corridor has developed over the past decade. Where Mezze on Soi 16 brings a Lebanese family legacy to its cooking, El Elbasha brings a different expression of the same culinary tradition, warmer in some ways, more casual in atmosphere, with a menu that covers the full breadth of Levantine and broader Middle Eastern cuisine.
The mezze selection is extensive and the quality is consistent. Hummus arrives properly textured with enough tahini and a pool of good olive oil. The fattoush is fresh and properly dressed. The falafel is made to order and has the crust and herb content that pre-made falafel never achieves.
Main courses push into the territory of grilled meats, slow-cooked stews, and the rice dishes that are the backbone of Middle Eastern home cooking. The portions are generous. The bread comes out hot.
