I rarely do reviews but I was stunned when I came across the John Pars one.
I've been to Pasha's five times with different people. The last two times as birthday celebratory meals. The service has been excellent and so has been the food. In the sharing meals, there is such a good amount of lovely fresh food, I always have to take away because I can't eat it all. I do have to wait for a little while for the main dishes but its because the food is being cooked (not warmed up from the freezer/fridge) but you do get fresh bread and a nice dish in the meantime. Anyone who has been to a wide spectrum of different types of restaurants, including the michelin star rated ones, will undoubtedly be impressed with the quality of food in this little restaurant. It is not expensive, in my opinion and experience. In the 'significantly' more expensive restaurants in the city centre and other places you also wait for the food to be prepared. I am very pernickerty about cleanliness and the tables, cutlery, glasses and dishes were clean. The staff are great, attentive and very welcoming.
I will be going again for another birthday treat with a group of women and I know they will all, like my previous guests, will have a great time.
Definitely in my top five favourite restaurants in the UK. Yvonne M read more
