    I love this hookah lounge! There are pretty good drinks and the ambiance is very pretty and clean. There is a lot of seating which is good for big groups. The staff is super nice and they served really good wings and fries.

    $14 for a little tiny pour of basic Whiskey? And a weird vibe, for me. Might be your thing but I'll pass.

    The bartender service is amazing especially Desiree. She is the best bartender in the Bay Area.

    Just trashy. Bad music, cheap decor, has a lot of potential but just misses the mark.

    Went to SF for work in June and looked up hookah bars. Tried one place that was awful then tried…read morePasha. Omg it was amazing. I went back three nights in a row. Thursday it wasn't overly crowded and I watched the soccer game USA vs Turkey. After Turkey won, they played Arabic music videos and a beautiful talented belly dancer performed. I really enjoyed the exposure to another culture. I had the hummus and beef kabobs that evening. Both were incredible. Best hummus I've ever had! And the hookah was 10/10..very smooth and kept the coals coming. Friday and Saturday night were fun and more like a lounge vibe. Lots of people but plenty of room as they actually limit how many people can come in with their awesome security doorman. Still played Arabic videos and mixed in some American hip hop as well..great vibe. Had the lamb flatbread both of these nights. Super tasty and great value. You get a ton! HUGE shoutout to Niyaz and Sam! They made me feel welcome every night with big smiles and friendly conversation. Niyaz even walked me to my uber and checked the license plate/spoke to driver. Such kind people! Great food, excellent hookah, strong drinks (HIGHLY recommend Golden Hour on cocktail menu), and beautiful aesthetic. Will make it a priority to visit Pasha any time I find myself in San Fran :)

Regardless, it's definitely the watering hole I didn't know I needed until I finally entered their portal. It's dark in here but not in a bad way. With its fanciful back wall mural (Photo 4), it felt a bit like a sultan's harem that seemingly doubles as an Ottoman coffeehouse. I came in around 4PM on a weekday. This proved to be an ideal time because you can tell this compact bar gets packed quickly. I had heard they were famous for their renditions of classic cocktails, in particular, martinis straight up. What an intentional coincidence as I was in the mood for an Espresso Martini. I'm hardly ever not in the mood, so it was a good thing the bartender was seasoned enough to make a silky smooth one (Photo 7). It was more than reasonably priced at $14. While I didn't catch her name, the bartender was cordial and just chatty enough to mitigate my introverted social sensibilities. More customers started to trickle in, an older profile than the other popular Haight bars. I can say that because that's my geriatric DNA. I like The Alembic and The Mad Dog in the Fog, but this one may have just taken the edge. COCKTAILS - 5 stars...genuinely smooth espresso martini AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...a bit dark, a bit exotic, wish it was a bit bigger SERVICE - 5 stars...excellent bartender TOTAL - 5 stars...getting into a zam zam jam RELATED - Exploring the Haight?

The 5 course is the perfect share for 2 and I highly recommend the shrimp kabab though my friends all say the lamb is the best. The atmosphere is so fun and the belly dancing is so much fun they really incorporate the audience. Everything is perfectly cooked and honestly some of the best Moroccan food I've had. Go here!!! The negative reviews are seriously missing out. The service doesn't have the same flow as other restaurants, but that's by design, they want you to relax and enjoy your time there if you want things done more quickly you just have to ask and they are happy and quick to accommodate. This is an experience not a race to get everything at once.

The whole space felt so authentic and immersive. I found $18 parking a little down the street at a nearby hotel (as long as you leave before midnight), which worked out perfectly. We ordered a few things to share--the hummus was really good, and the salad with lemon was super fresh and light. The kebabs were also delicious, though I didn't eat too many since I was in a nice dress and the tables were more Moroccan-style--low with bowls rather than full tables--so it wasn't the easiest to cut the meat. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with groups of people and even private rooms around the space. I was surprised it wasn't more crowded, but my friend stayed later and said it picked up as the night went on--they even had karaoke at one point! There was also a belly dancer, which added to the vibe, though I think having a more professional performer who connects better with the music would really elevate the experience. The hookah was a nice touch too--they give you your own tip so you're not sharing, and even though I don't normally do hookah, it just felt right for the setting. Overall, the food was great, the ambience was beautiful, and the crowd was good energy. I'd highly recommend this spot for a group event, a social night out, or even a fun date--it's definitely an experience you won't forget!
