Bollywood Dreams Hookah (~$35)
Aya E.

Ordered: Bollywood Dreams Hookah (~$35): mango, pineapple, mint, passionfruit Pot of Hot Tea (complimentary; $8 regular price) Aya's take: I really wanted to like Pasha! I've heard great things about their Redwood City location and thought this would be similar. This location is pretty spacious with 2 levels but as soon as you walk in, the music is blasting. It's a bit quieter upstairs which is where we were to begin with. However, we were then moved downstairs so they can use that table for a larger party. As a party of 3, we accommodated but were then seated next to a group of 10 who clearly were here to party. Nothing wrong with that of course but it would be great if they sat groups who ate just there for dinner/hookah and groups who want to party separately. It was difficult to chat or just smoke hookah in a more calm environment. They offered us complimentary Hot Tea for the inconvenience but even that wasn't good. Speaking of the Bollywood Dreams Hookah was fruity and light but I don't think it's tobacco-based so it didn't hit the same. Also, the coal change was so infrequent and we kept having to flag a worker to do it for us. Same with getting refills on our water. Being Middle Eastern, the hookah & tea were both mediocre to say the least. If I'm back in the Bay, I'll probably check out the Redwood City location instead.

This place is dope! Service was odd. The food was super good and fresh. Flatbread was huge. Didn't love the drinks. They have good music and hookah available.

Ive been wanting to visit and i finally was in sf. i went around 11 on a sunday. the atmosphere is so nice. they have different ways for you to have your hookah. there was a wait to be seated. the hookah was probably the best i had in a while. i didnt drink but the drinks looked really cute they even had mocktails. i ordered tea which was good. i tried the chicken flat bread which was so good. the chicken wings were cooked to perfection. the service was slow but id give them another try. Such a cute place to come vibe.

After a full night of adventures, Ray, Joanna, and I made a stop at Pasha for night caps and hookah on October 15, 2024. We walked in shortly after 11:30 PM and when greeted by the team members at the bar, were immediately warned that they were closing at midnight. No problem, we could be quick. Venue: 5 stars. Located on Geary Street, there is street metered parking. We were traversing via Waymo and foot, so didn't need to worry about securing a parking space. Upon entry, I was immediately impressed by the chic décor. Cool flourescent beer lights shined through the whimsical environment. We were seated at a half booth table against the wall of flowers which gave us a great view of the entire bottom floor. Menu & drinks: 5 stars. I initially thought that Pasha was simply a hookah lounge that also served cocktails. To my surprise, after reading their menu, I realized that Pasha is actually a swanky restaurant that serves Mediterranean fare in a bar-like environment, groovy music and hubble bubble puffers included. Only things missing were Alice and the Caterpillar. It was late, so we didn't have time nor room in our stomach to nibble on anything. Ray ordered a hookah and a round of drinks for us. Joanna went with KATE's DIRTY SISTER ($14), a passion fruit forward hand-crafted cocktail in which the flavour of the fruit really came through. I had my very first TURKISH COFFEE ($5) here. A great first impression my hot drink left on me. Ray and Joanna had a ball with the hookah. Service: 2 stars. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. He happily started our hookah for us. Another waitress, though, was clearly irritated by the late comers and by those who seemed to want to linger even just minutes after closing. She made sure to let us know what time they were closing and later, she even got into an argument with some people at a neighbouring table, reminding them that they were closing. Good businesses don't hire staff members with stinky attitudes nor allow anyone in their team to behave in a way that makes customers feel extremely unwelcome and unwanted. There is definitely a lack of professionalism and genuine hospitality here. Total turn off and bummer. Under par service aside, I am still intrigued enough to want to return to Pasha. I'm not a smoker, but it's definitely a unique restaurant with a vibe of mystique.

This place is so cute! I like the ambience and the workers are very friendly and polite. The music is so good, hookah hits and food is delicious

Went to SF for work in June and looked up hookah bars. Tried one place that was awful then tried Pasha. 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 :)

Love this spot. Great drinks and food. They also have hookah. Forgot to take a photo of our cocktails but they were really good. Hummus is delicious and the pita is super soft and pillowy. I love the kofte and adana here. However, I wish they gave more rice and sides with each dish. The portions are kind of small. They play really good music and it's a fun, loungey vibe!

Pasha SF is part lounge, part hookah bar, part bar bar and part restaurant. This makes Pasha an outstanding place to gather with your friends or co-workers. If you're hungry, there's plenty of food options to choose from. If you're in a rush to get back home after work and want to pop in for quick cocktail during HH, that's ok too. If you just want to sit back, relax and smoke some hookah, that works too. There's something for everybody at Pasha. On to the cocktails: Outstanding HH menu: Whiskey sour was my favorite. It tastes more like a gold rush, I think they named it golden hour. Espresso martini with Turkish coffee instead of espresso? Equally delicious. Vibes: Think Tron meets James Bond. If Bond were to fight off evil forces in the year 2075, this would be it.

$35 hookah $13 cocktails Friendly service. They don't start your hookah. Quality is ok. Club like ambiance.

I absolutely adore this place. Upscale hookah lounge with all the good vibes. Came here while waiting for a table at Mensho and ended having a couple of rounds because the drinks were that inviting! Plus on having the drinks pre-mixed - this tells me fast service and they understand the night life in SF - keep em coming! I had the libido which was right up my alley, not too sweet and the freeze dried strawberry to top off the purée was genius! On to the Purple Diamond - not a huge fan of vodka, but definitely a tasty treat. If you're not into coconut then I'd pass on it. We had around 6 cocktails and 2 beers and came out to around $80, which isn't bad at all for SF. I'm definitely coming back to try the food menu. Cheers!

I Stopped here with one of my coworkers. The hookah was harsh and the drinks were instagram worthy but didn't taste good. We didn't try the food. They were playing Arabic and Latin music but the music was sooo loud I couldn't even hear my friend talk. We danced some bachata which was fun. There was a belly dancer too , lol. Random. Service was friendly and fast. Not worth the $$ we spent though.

Great food and excellent vibes. Meal, hookah followed be desert. Ordered the kebab and it did not disappoint- I'll be back again!

I was a bit skeptical but IM BACK for the second week in a row. I wanted to wait before I review this spot but this is my low key go too! I love that happy hour is from 5-7:30. Hookah is $25 and they have a bunch of apps for $10 or less I love the Mezze Trio I literally came back for that!! I enjoyed it so much the first time and just complemented my hookah and cocktail. Curtailed cocktails were also good. Hookah : Persian Rose: spice peach and lime. Cocktail : golden hour 10/10 highly recommend. Mezze Trio and chicken wings. My server Fatih was so helpful and customer service was absolutely great BOTH TIMES!!. He was very attentive and made sure I was pleased with everything on both visits. Bartender was also great made a good stiff drink when you go ask for Beran. The aesthetic is cute but y'all knew that from Instagram. Come check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed

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?

Then the hummus was very clever and perfect....The garlic is in the middle as garnish and I think slightly tamed over the fire. The mutabel I thought they will mess this up....Nope...firey roasted flavor was good. I would only see if I can find a stronger flavor olive oil for these as a finishing oil. Then I had the fried cawliflower....So good! Also the Patata Harra....Tasted great, but not crispy, not sure why. Still very good with great flavor. After all that....I had a nice Arabic coffee and a cigar. I don't mean a Arabic from the gulf regions or Saud. I mean true coffee, like the ones you will have in Etheopia, birth place of coffee. Like in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, maybe even a little piece of Turkey, or Greece....This is Arabic coffee. Not any other. This is a medium to dark roast, and often you crush a fresh pod or 2 of cardamom and thats it. Not milled in and sold with the coffee, fresh pods!(lol...I honestly dont remember that this place did that...lol, but it was still good). When you first walk in, the place looks empty as late night, everyone is out in the patio. So, just walk down the hall way, and you will be greeted. Again...So far I have tried 7 or so Lebanses places. Most are not even Lebanese, and while I don't falt it, but Ismail has managed to hire the right people, and teach the right recipes, so when you eat the food, you realize that the flavors are from that same recipe without cutting corners. I can list the places, and I will soon. Falafel this, Mid Eat that, flavors of here there....So far...this is the spot! Enjoy!! I'll be back!!

The pickled eggplant appetizer was good but a little salty. The zaatar feta tomato flatbread was a little salty and soggy. Wouldn't get that one again. The interior had a cool Arabian theme with arches and paintings on the wall. I wish the tabouleh had more grain and it was a little too citrusy but still overall good. The falafel was good too. I would come back.
