Turkish Bread Loaf
Barbara B.

Absolutely delicious food, well prepared and served with such friendliness by Aylin. It was not busy as it's Ramadan and we went for lunch. The lentil soup was delicately seasoned and served in a big bowl with great bread. My friend and I shared a shish lamb platter It comes with bulgar, white rice and a small salad. We asked for extra salad and no rice and they happily did that. The portion was plenty for us both. I will be back to try other Turkish delights.

"Flat" meatballs

We were looking for something new and came here. Beautiful setting, bright and clean. We started with the falafel and cigars (sigara borek). Falafel was crispy outside, soft inside. Cigars were tasty with a nice dipping sauce. Hubs had the house special, Sac Kavurma-- he loved this! Portion was excellent with lots of flavor. Rice was delicious. The first dish I ordered was unavailable, so went with the kofte-- flat meatballs. Lots of accompaniments, loved the rice and bulgur and salad with it, well rounded meal. Wish we had room for dessert because we were seated in front of the case but was so full! Would definitely return!

I came here for my third visit on a Friday night. This place gets better and better!! Fresh warm bread was brought out before our meal. It was crunchy on the outside and warm and soft on the outside. Perfect! I ordered the falafel plate. It was heavenly- the falafel (probably the best I've had), hummus, rice, salad. Even though I was full, I couldn't resist the kunefe dessert. My friend and I loved it so much! I tell people this is possibly my favorite restaurant in CT! I will definitely be back again soon!

I went for a drive to Ellington and Manchester today. This place had good reviews and a great menu so I decided to check it out. It's an unassuming spot in a strip mall from the outside but the inside, it's large and nicely decorated. I started with the falafel appetizer. Crispy exterior, flavorful interior, and came with pickled vegetables and tahini. There was also complimentary bread and butter. For my entree, I went with kofte. I'm used to having it on a skewer. They were juicy with great flavor. I liked the other items as well- especially the bulgar. I ordered the kunefe dessert to go. It comes with walnuts but I have an allergy so asked for them to be left off. This was incredible!! I've never tried this dessert but it reminded me of a sweet dessert calzone I had before. There were some fruit flies that annoyed me during my meal and I had to wait a bit for the server to come back and give me a box and ask if I wanted dessert. Another server welcomed her guests by asking if they'd been before and explaining the specials. She also described the meals when they arrived to the table for that party. I didn't receive this ifnrorion and it would have been nice. Still, the food was great and had large portions.

Mixed Grill Kebab

Surprisingly good Turkish fare, very friendly staff, and a very nice space inside This place opened up in a not so nice part of town. We didn't have high hopes for this one, so we took a gamble and made the trek. The outside is not the most pleasing place to be. But inside is very clean and chic. Lots of seating, some of the modern trappings that other places use, but done less frequently and only as accent pieces to the grandiose display of the main dining area. The staff were very helpful in deciphering the menu. There's a good balance of Turkish foods and more modern American fare to select from. If foreign foods are off putting, they got plenty of local favorites to fall back on. We decide to get drinks and their mixed meze and mixed grill. Food came out quickly and at a good pace. First was bread, which was fresh and the provided oil was warmed. Then came the drinks. My Turkish coffee was strong and bitter, but that's characteristic of the drink. Beans were probably not the freshest, but it was still nice. The meze came out next. Stand outs being the hummus, spiced tomato spread, and the sour cream. Personal favorite being the spiced tomato, cause that had a quick tingle of heat to the pallet followed by the acidic bite if the tomato which then finished with a dull heat burn. Not a big fan of their baba ganouch, but that's because textures are a big deal. The carrot mayo spread was nice too, a sweet and creamy combo unexpected for the dish. The mixed grill was next, and that was good too. Some of the beef kebabs were a bit tough, but the meats were all seasoned well and plentiful for the price. The rice and cous cous were seasoned as well, and a great accompaniment to the meats. Combined with the meze, there was a plethora of choices to dip and customize to your hearts content. We got a slice of cheesecake to take home. The only downside was the chocolate sauce was not great. The actual cheesecake was pretty cheesy and light, just needed a better chocolate. Overall it's a very nice place. The food is good, the staff is nice, and despite the location it's a good Turkish place to try. Their dishes are not as heavily seasoned as one would expect, but it's still really good and there's plenty to try.

Wow... what a find!!! New place in Manchester and do not be fooled by the outside location. The interior is beautiful, clean, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are on point for the quality and portion sizes. I was so impressed with the wait staff, taking the time to explain the cuisine and menu so you really understood what you were getting. Which is really important, as I don't think many people have had Turkish cuisine. The food itself was perfectly executed as Turkish, meaning it is Mediterranean flavors with a slight turn that makes it Turkish. Delicious!! Both the Mixed Grill Kebabs and The Mixed Meze appetizer with bread were great ways to try and taste the cuisine. The rice and bulgar was seasoned well and the kebabs were all moist and flavorful. The Meze was a treat and I really enjoyed the carrot one. Overall we will definitely be back and this will be added to our list for Mediterranean night.

Dining area

3.5 stars. Pasha is located in a plaza. Their next door neighbor is a hookah lounge! Inside decor is beautiful! I love the Turkish chandelier. I went for lunch so it was quiet and calm. I'm sure at night it's even more beautiful with the chandelier lighting. Oscar, our server was so nice and friendly. He helped us decide on what to eat as it was our first time experiencing Turkish food. We tried to try different things on this trip but looks like we'll just have to come back. It's BYOB with a liquor store right next door. It's super clean and spacious inside The carrot dip is yogurt based and sweet from the roasted carrots. It went perfectly with their fresh, warm, baked bread. The sesame seeds on the bread added a nice toasty and nutty flavor and crunch. The sigara borek filled with cheese had a crunchy phyllo outer layer with a creamy cheese filling. The cheese filling was over seasoned for my tasting, however, paired with the carrot dip was good. The mixed grill had plenty of options for our mission of Taste of Turkey this afternoon. The kebobs were a bit dry but my favorite was the doner. The rice and bulgar textures were perfect but under seasoned for me. The meats were also underwhelming but with a sprinkle of salt was good. They ran out of baklava so I ordered tulumba which are semolina cookies soaked in syrup. The syrup is similar to the syrup they use in baklava. You've gotta eat the entire cookie in one bite so the syrup bursts in your mouth and sip your Turkish tea! It went so well together!!! The milk custard and pistachio pudding was good but they weren't very sweet. The tea and coffee definitely pairs well with the desserts. I would return and recommend Pasha.

Knafeh dessert
Jazz A.

Went to pasha on Sunday first time ever eating Turkish food and so glad I did ! Everyone was lovely , and service was quick , we didn't have to wait too long for our food which is always a plus ! They have lots of tables and can accommodate large groups ( there happened to be a birthday dinner while I was there ) . Thankfully I brought my friend that had Turkish food before so she knew exactly what to order! We were served fresh hose bread , served with oil . I love bread and it was delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside . Next We got the mixed grill kebab entree which served a large portion enough for two people! We got a variety of lamb/chicken/ doner and served with white and yellow rice and salad . I would say the food was good 4/5 on the meat .. it was on the drier side for me personally but apparently that is how Turkish food is cooked . My favourite part was the knafeh dessert which is like a sweet deep fried cheese smothered in a sweet syrup ! It was absolutely delicious ! And thank goodness my friend pushed me to try it because I was very skeptical ! Moral of story always try new things , you can be pleasantly surprised! I would love to come back and maybe try some more of the dishes like the curry entrees . They also had pasta / hamburgers and a kids menu as well .

Mixed Meze and Falafel
Natalie G.

The food here is fantastic! Hands down, Pasha has the best falafel I've had all year. We went here for dinner around 6pm. The inside of the restaurant is very ornate and beautiful, with intricate chandeliers, and green accents. We were sat immediately and treated exceptionally well. Everyone we interacted with was professional and helpful. We started the evening off with complimentary bread and the meze appetizer, which was delicious and plenty of food for two people. We also ordered the falafel dinner, which was hot, flavorful, and crispy. For dessert we had the kazandibi, which was delightfully sweet and creamy. I'm looking forward to the next time we go here, so I can try even more of their desserts -- I'm sure they pair extremely well with hot tea!

Bread Loaf
Valerie D.

Wow you have to ignore the exterior and come inside. Elegant, serene. Beautiful. Food was unbelievably fresh and flavorful. My son ordered the warm hummus app and it came with a special puffed bread. Flavor was excellent and they brought a different bread out first which was truthfully one of the best I've ever had from a restaurant. Fresh out of the oven, warm and soft inside and crusty outside. They leave a small cruet of olive oil on the table that you can use for the bread. It was hard to resist eating all of it to wait for the rest of the food. Portions were generous. You must try this place. Seriously good

Mixed Grill Kebab

Pasha is located in an unassuming strip mall in Manchester but the restaurant is STUNNING and the food is delicious. We were served complementary bread and olive oil, the bread was so soft and warm and a great starter overall. We got the Sigara Borek with meat and the ground meat inside melted in my mouth. The mixed grill was the perfect entree to try a little bit of everything, it was perfect for two people to share as well. My favorite was the lamb Adana. The Turkish coffee was also fantastic, it is served similarly to espresso but it was much richer with more depth of flavor. The service was great, we didn't have to wait too long for anything and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served!

Vibey decor

Pasha is thrumming with new-restaurant energy: positive press that made its way to my mother's ears, affable and apologetic dinner service whose kinks were clearly still being worked out, no liquor license, full bookings on a Saturday night. What is this lamp that the moths of eastern CT have gathered around? Don't be put off when you walk past the liquor store or the hookah bar to get here: Pasha's black ceiling tiles, luxuriant fake greenery and Ottoman mosaic chandeliers go a long way to facelifting the place above its strip-mall environs. It felt like an endearing bid to match the excitement of the would-be clientele. The menu, with its laminated photos and rows of authentic dishes, gives me courage to believe in Pasha's promise. Not too many dishes: just enough cold apps to fill a meze plate, and no endless hit real of every Turkish dish known to man in the mains. They were out of mucer (zucchini pancakes)? Good. That meze plate was the star of last night's show, worth another visit for sure. Spicy antep ezme (tomatoes and hot peppers), a perfectly sour and crunchy havuc taratur (carrot slaw), haydari (Turkish labneh with garlic) that my mom and I were subtly fighting to swab more of by the third bite. You'd think that the babagannush and the humus, the least exotic of the quintet, would be afterthoughts, but no. They were the best I've ever had. Zohara might need to put weird shit like peas and salami into their humus to make it interesting every day, but Pasha's is subtle, umami, the garlic and spices oozing over the silky chickpea flavor. Wow. It was all served with a generously piled basket of Turkish pide bread, fluffier and doughier than Lebanese pita, but perfect for sopping everything up. I switched my main from the mucver to the falafel, which were also very good, a rival for any I've tasted or made. We ended the night with baklava, which was good, not great: overwhelmingly sweet, and missing some internal crispy crunch. So what is Pasha about? A trip to the lavatory helped me crack the code: an older matriarchal type stared blankly at me from her seat at a back table as she supervised the waitstaff; the toilet sported a bidet. Oh, this is like, TURKISH Turkish. It's a family-run Pasha deserves the hype: authentic cuisine, good service, classy vibes.

My mom and I just had an excellent dinner at Pasha on their opening day! The decor is stunning, and they aren't even completely finished yet! Everything from the appetizers to the mains were delicious and well-presented. I'm confident the service will continue to improve, and really a great experience for opening day!

No words. Here in…read moretown for a convention for daughters volleyball. No joke friends, I came here both days to pick up food. Recommended by a local workers at convention center. Epic food! Just really good, really fresh and tasty MiddleEastern Food. Truth be told, I'm really happy it's 150miles from my house. I'd probably have a seat with a plaque and my name on it. I'd need to pay rent because of how much time id occupy here, id have to buy birthday presents for their families and send Christmas cards. Friends, it would get wierd, know what I'm saying?!! Jesus. It's THAT good. And no I'm not drunk writing this. What can I say, I'm a big fan!!!! Get the Sharma Special. The hummus is fresh, falafel was so light. Baba ganoush was really tasty and well seasoned. Pita was piping warm and wrapped in tinfoil, wasn't just tossed in a bag or on top. They care for your food. There was nothing here I wouldn't eat and I tried almost everything. I saw many complaints here before writing a review about Delivery. I did ask about delivery and it was extensive when I called. Expect that everywhere u go. They are probably like everyone with staff shortages. Get a Uber and pick it up or get your mah to drive you. To bully their posts down for your laziness. Ok, I feel like my dad just came crawling out of me on that paragraph. Rant over. Wicked good food. Pissa Chicken Sharma and unbelievable staff to guide me on choices. I'll be back. Sold 9.9/10 !

This quiet eatery is tucked away on a side street. Easy to overlook, it made my husband and I…read moreexceedingly happy to be able to grab a non-pork Meatlovers pizza. The crust was just the right chewiness, the sauce and cheese delicious, and the toppings plenty and flavorful. We loved the pizza and fattoush salad. Don't be scared if it is empty. We sat and saw a continuous stream of door dashers and other food delivery folks. Give Aladdin a shot!
