La basbusa (en árabe, بسبوسة), revani (turco), ravani o revani (griego, ραβανί y ρεβανί) es un dulce hecho de sémola remojada en almíbar. Un añadido popular a esta receta es el coco. Aunque los habitantes del sur de Grecia lo llaman ravani, en el norte se le llama revani, como en turco, específicamente en la ciudad de Veria, donde es el postre tradicional desde hace muchos años.
