Best of 225 awards weekly pick: Best Mediterranean restaurant

Some days it seems you can’t take a step in this town without tripping over a Mediterranean café, but Albasha is one place you should be glad to stumble into. Baton Rouge is a city that knows its Mediterranean food, as evidence by the unusually high number of Greek and Lebanese places. Albasha shines, thanks to perfectly seasoned chicken shawarma, tender gyros with tangy Grecian sauce, and oh, that Lebanese iced tea! Be sure to sample the hummus, winner of a Best of 225 all its own last year. Five locations. Find more great dining and entertainment ideas and other Best of 225 award winners here. (File photo)
