Bashachi

Ghardaïa Opened Opening date unknown

Portuguese-style grilled chicken, a rarity in the M'Zab valley.

Bashachi grills chicken Portuguese-style, a spice profile you don't see on other menus in the valley, where roast and grilled chicken usually comes with a mix borrowed from the coast. The flame grill sits close to the counter, and the smoke is part of the pitch.

The menu stays short: whole or half chicken, a burger built around the same bird, and a handful of house sauces. Delivery covers Ghardaïa proper, and the Instagram page doubles as the order line when the phone is busy.

Good to know

• Order the flame-grilled half chicken over the burger, it's what the grill is built for.
• Delivery runs through the Instagram DMs when the phone line is busy.
