One of my favorite place…read more My friend introduced me to this restaurant for their phenomenoal pizzas and nice people. Two people own this place and they are amazing. Very friendly, warm and happy. I feel like I'm eating attention my friends home. Their Penne Bolognese is delicious and Authentic. Service is prompt and timely.

While in the mood for Greek food, we stopped by Adriatik in Glastonbury. When we first arrived,…read moreoutside the door was marked as "Adriatik's Catering" I wasn't sure if this is where Catering orders come out of, but it turns out it's all one place. The inside was entirely empty, a few people stopped by to pick up their orders, but no one was dining inside. On the wall they have awards they've received from 2011 to 2025, all for being in the top 10 restaurants. It was a bit awkward being the only ones here, but there are bigger issues in the world. Their menu offers pizzas, pasta, gyros, salads and more. We first got an order of their sautéed calamari. This had a nice tender and chewy texture. This is unlike what most places offer. The sauce was also very flavorful, we actually ate it by the spoonful like a soup. Their garlic bread was great for dipping into the sauce. Not a very garlicky garlic bread but not bad. We all got some variation of the gyro, with salad, fries or rice. Mine was with the Greek Salad. This Greek Salad was very fresh and the feta cheese on it sealed it all together. Unfortunately the lamb in the gyro was very overcooked and dry. It wasn't good at all. The tzatziki sauce is always a favorite. Overall I wasn't super impressed with my meal. I might stop by sometime in the future and try something else.

Went in for pizza but they have so much more to offer. Pizza crust was just right. Will be backread more

Decided to try based on number of positive reviews. This place was definitely a disappointment…read more Quality was less than average and overpriced. Ordered 2 pizzas and the flavor was less than average reminding me of store bought frozen pizza. The toppings were also very scarce. One of the pizzas was a veggie, which included broccoli and mushrooms - hardly any at all with few scattered on the pizza. The other pizza ordered was mushroom ricotta and it was completely bland. This place is a hard pass!

What an excellent restaurant - authentic, well-made dishes with huge portions at reasonable prices…read more I've been here several times now and it's been consistent each time. Food - Authentic and well made. For apps, normally not a fan of grape leaves, but theirs was very good. Melitzana was also delicious. I'd skip the falafel next time. Their gyro plate and chicken gyro plate were both excellent (the chicken gyro is essentially a chicken shawarma plate). You can get it with grilled vegetables which I highly recommend. Overall, amazing food. Service - Overall good, can't complain. Tables slightly small if dining for 2 given how huge the plates are, but that's more a testament to their huge portions than anything. Ambiance - Casual yet elegant. Works for a quick bite or a date night. Overall, highly recommend. Great establishment

He and my sister both had the Lamb Gyro. They both loved it. My first time trying the Chicken Souvlaki, it was delicious! Everything here is so flavorful! It's hard to decide on what to order. It was busy and a good kind of noisy. Nice vibes!! Can't wait to come back and try something else.

Last night we went to dine at Pasha. It was genuinely a very pleasant experience all throughout…read more Pasha is a Turkish restaurant. The interior is elegantly styled and comfortable. They had a beautiful Turkish Moroccan Mosaic lamp hanging right at the front. I was surprised they had cocktails and alcoholic beverages available. This is not typical in Middle Eastern restaurants. The prices were very reasonable I had to do a double take that they weren't mocktails. Their menu features plenty of traditional meaty options, some fresh salads and appetizers. I first started with their mojito. This was fresh and minty. A delightful cocktail. Their complimentary bread, was pillowy and fresh. Be careful, it is easy to overdo it with this delicious bread. For an appetizer we got a serving of their Babaganoush. This was an excellent pairing to that bread. This was incredibly tasty, you could taste the the eggplant, the olive oil and the lemon juice, together they created a super dreamy creamy combo. I got their version of a Gyro Quesadilla. This arrived with four very generous portions. It was filled with tender lamb and melted cheese. We got a Greek salad to share. This salad was very generous in its size, it was very fresh and tasty. We concluded with their chocolate cake. There were plenty of other traditional dessert options. This cake was very chocolatey and fresh. The top layer was very dark chocolate to me. We had a very pleasant first time at Pasha.

Welcome to Pasha! This place is now a year old! I haven't been here since last January! It's the…read moresame server too! It is located at 397 Broad St. in Manchester, CT. I have not been to very many Turkish restaurants. I believe the last one was in Springfield. They play Turkish music and the employees are all Turkish (I think). The place is really big. There must be [at least] 40 tables in here. Do not be deceived by the small store front. It is very deep. It's incredibly clean. I could even smell the cleaning chemicals at first. They start me off with a complementary carafe of water. It's nice. I don't believe it is tap water. It must be filtered. They also serve complementary bread with either oil or butter. That's a LOT of bread. A meal in itself! For my first drink, I am having the J.W. Black Label Old Fashioned. This is made with Johnny Black Walker, Elderflower liqueur and Angostura bitters. I've never seen an Old Fashioned made this way. This is classy! They use a circular ice cube to minimize the dilution tine. It is perfectly balanced, nicely garnished (two lemon peels) and has a very unique taste (thanks to the elderflower liqueur). This is good! The menus are very nice too and include pictures. The drink menu does not have prices. The decor is nice with a few ethnic paintings (and a few not filled yet). I like the [artificial] trees in the dining area. They hang cool lights on the walls. Nice, colorful, low hanging chandeliers too. For my soup, I'm having the mercimek (lentil). Mercimek çorbası (lentil soup) is the most popular and widely consumed soup in Turkey. Ingredients are typically red lentils, onion, carrot, potato or tomato, vegetable or light meat stock, olive oil or butter, and spices such as cumin and paprika. This came out quick! This is piping hot! The soup is delicious! Good portion. I like the addition of the crushed red pepper for a little kick. Be sure to sprinkle that lemon on it. I love the elongated spoon. They also bring out complementary bread and butter. No butter for me. The bread is good! For my salad, I am getting the Tabbouleh (this is Arabic not Turkish) made with parsley, tomatoes, bulgur, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil. Look at this monster salad! It is huge! This came out real quick! This comes with a lemon to sprinkle upon them. They have great presentation and tastes fantastic! Be sure to sprinkle the lemon. It's like a chopped salad. The Tabbouleh had a LOT of parsley. For my next drink, I'm having the Classic Martini made with gin, dry vermouth and olives (garnish). This is made with Greenall gin. I've never had this before. It's not bad! The taste is a bit off but is still fine. There are a lot of small, floating ice particles, but I don't care. It does , keep it cool, and melts quick. It has a nice olive garnish skewer too. Very good overall! For my appetizer, we are having the Mized Meze. Meze is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers in Arabic and West Asian cuisines. You know me! I loved samplers! This includes humus, babagannush, eggplant salad, haydari, havuc tarator & antep ezme. Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Baba ghanoush, also known as baba ganouj or muttabal, is a creamy, smoky eggplant dip that originated in the Levant region of the Middle East. The dish is made by blending roasted or grilled eggplant with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and seasonings. Haydari is a type of yogurt dish similar to a thick cacık, made from certain herbs and spices, combined with garlic and yogurt. Antep Ezme is made with tomatoes, hot peppers, green peppers, onions, garlic, walnuts and olive oil. Look at this! You have to love the carrot slices dividing the individual items. There is paprika scattered on top. The server lays down the spoons as he describes each one. This goes great with bread! Wow! Is this good! I love the variety of textures and flavors! For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Kofte (flat chicken meatballs). Spicy please! Chicken meatballs aren't easy to find. This is the best! That jalapeño is hot! The salad has a nice light dressing too. I love the grilled tomato! This flavor is unbelievable! It was also nice to have a few minutes to chat with the owner! For my dessert drink, I'm having the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is a rich, unfiltered coffee made from finely ground beans simmered in a special pot (cezve) with water and sugar, resulting in a strong brew with grounds that settle at the bottom. It is extremely fine, like powder, much finer than espresso. Black, for me. I like the metal cup, this way it's not too hot in the hands. This is thick and yummy! For my dessert, I'm having the Pistachio Cake. This is a first for me. The plate is nicely chilled. This is real good! This place is incredible! There is no shortage of leftovers. I have at least two more servings worth. What a fantastic meal!

Good food and friendly service…read more Stopped in for lunch earlier today. Bread and butter to start, and ordered an assortment of Balkan items as an appetizer, which came with a traditional bread that was fresh and warm. Various meats were all tasty, as was the slaw. I ordered the assorted seafood and pasta. Wow! Excellent dish. Loaded with seafood and perfectly cooked spaghetti, in a well done red sauce. My wife loved her eggplant parmigiana. Sister-in-law had the salmon and veggies and said the salmon was a bit over-cooked but was really full with flavor. A friend gad a fish dish which she said was really good. Portions were all very large. Clean, comfortable space, with local photos (that were theme appropriate). Server very attentive and eager to please. Cappuccinos -- 3 of them -- looked great and my coffee was hot and quite strong (but I like strong coffee). Nice lunch at a reasonable price.

I ordered the Sweet Apple Orchard salad and customized it with the hot panko chicken and some cucumber; Eleeeeee-lite! The portion size was also huge. I couldn't even finish it in one sitting. I'm honestly stuck between this and Wendy's strawberry salad now, but Chopt might've just taken the crown. I could literally eat this every single day. 10/10, HIGHLY recommend!

Tried Chopt Salad in Glastonbury for the first time today and unfortunately the experience was…read moredisappointing. I decided to create my own bowl and made it clear out loud that it was my first visit. However, no one explained that several toppings are extra or that there's a limit on how many items you can choose from certain sections before being charged. Since I wasn't informed, I kept adding ingredients as I went along. The person making my bowl never mentioned the additional costs, and another employee at the counter kept staring at my bowl, instead of offering guidance. A simple explanation like "you can choose up to three from this section, anything extra costs more" would have made a big difference--especially for a first-time customer. When I got to the register, the total came to $40, which was honestly shocking for a salad. The food may be good, but the lack of communication and customer service really took away from the experience. First impressions matter, and this one definitely missed the mark. I have always passed by that road and wanted to try chopt. The salad was okay liked the falafel and the options they had.

Also, the Chick-fil-A drive thru which dominates the three restaurants in the building was jammin. So cars were coming and going like it was rush-hour on the Long Island Expressway. We ordered at the counter, and the food was delivered to us at our table. There were two televisions, going one with a football game on it from I don't know where or who is playing, and the Senate hearings were going on another television. In the background was music. It was a little busy noise wise to say the least. I ordered a lamb Gyro, , which which included tzatziki sauce, cucumber, tomato, and onion. Also included with this order, were shoestring french fries that were well seasoned, crisp, and on point. The fries reminded me of McDonald's. Also included was a fountain drink. The restaurant was slow, with one party of two just finishing up when we walked in. I saw only one other customer walk in when we were eating. So in other words, this place was dead. Jersey Mike's next-door was hopping, along with two doors down Chick-fil-A. Lunch was quite expensive at $32 for two. My friend had a cheesesteak with fries which didn't look big at all. All in all, I don't see the value here. The food was good, but really pricey. This was a destination to try once. On the way out, I did notice pizzas on the counter selling per slice. Those didn't look appetizing. With so many restaurants in Glastonbury, there are many better choices than this On a positive note, it was nice seeing the lamb carved from a spit that was going behind the counter.
