Pasha

Charming Ambiance, Delicious Food, Pricier Option. Despite the higher prices, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. The cozy cottage-like atmosphere added to the charm. Worth a visit if you're willing to splurge for a memorable dining experience.

Wanted something relatively healthy with seafood options, so decided to try Pasha out.Dolma - these were larger than I am accustomed to and I really enjoyed them overall.Shrimp Kabob - Shrimp was alright, not the largest pieces and a little bit dry (overcooked). The sides and salads were delicious but the flavor was a bit too one-note and pickled. It would have been nice to replace one of the sides with a starch like rice.Parking - only a few spots out front, there is a small single alleyway that leads to a few more spots in the back.The atmosphere was very friendly, there were families with kids around and the servers were very nice and seemed to know many of the customers. You can tell they definitely have a strong base of customers and pride themselves on their community.

Parking: There is a some parking at front and then some at back. Ambience: its not a fine dine but good for a family setup. Food: We tried falafel, chicken shish kebab, lamb shish kebab, adana etc. Everything was blend and tasteless except falafel. Lamb was chewy to a point that i had to spit it out. Adana was horrible. Service was quick.Prices are high for the portion and taste. There are better Turkish resturant in town. Disappointing.

I have been to maybe 5 Turkish restaurants in the Houston area and only really like Istanbul Grill and Pasha. I had takeout from here at some point in 2021. This Tuesday evening was my first dine-in at this little family-owned gem. I ordered the Lamb Adana Meal and it was very delicious, authentic, comforting and well-made. The kabob skewers were both very tasty, hearty in flavor, seasoned well and crispy on top with soft interiors. They also had a buttery taste, a touch of gaminess in profile and just enough fat in them. The rice was fresh and loose. The tart cabbage on the side with the slice of tomato were a refreshing contrast. The service from the owner and busser/server was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. I will try their Lamb Doner Kabob next time.

I tried their beef kebab plate, lamb kebab plate, and the Turkish pizza. Everything was delicious, and the beef and lamb were very tender and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The kebab plates had a generous amount of meat to rice ratio. The restaurant did not have too many people on a Saturday night surprisingly. The only con is the price could be a bit steep, and nothing blew me out of the water. Definitely would return for the kebab plates and to try my friend's recommendation of the Turkish dumplings!

First time trying Turkish food and I must say I throughly enjoyed my visit to Pasha. Started with the Babaganush which is a creamy puree of grilled eggplant mixed with tahini and a touch of garlic. We also tried the Dolma, which are grape leaves stuffed with rice, pine nuts, raisins,onions, olive oil and spices. Finished off appetizers with the SİGARA BÖREK, crispy fried phyllo dough rolls stuffed with Turkish beef sausage and mozzarella. All appetizers were great and I highly recommend them. Make sure to keep a steady supply of their warm bread. Soaks everything up. For our main entree, we tried the mixed grill platter which featured a combination of Doner, Adana, Chicken Adana, Lamb Shish and Chicken Shish kebabs. Served with rice. Finished off dinner with a Kunafa, a shredded phyllo dough filled with sweet cheese, baked and soaked in homemade syrup. Served warm with pistachios. This was a must. Also got a Turkish coffee, and I could have done without it because I was up for hours past my bedtime! Keep it up Pasha!

On my first visit, I found the service lacking. The server seemed rushed and not very informative; asking questions seemed to bother him. Unfortunately, the food wasn't up to par, and the ambiance and parking were limited.

I decided to give Pasha another try, and I'm so glad I did! My group got the cheese rolls, dolmas, ali nazik with chicken, shawarma kebab, lamb shish kebab, and falafel plate. The cheese rolls came out hot and crispy, with just the right amount of saltiness from the feta. The ali nazik with chicken was served with a roasted eggplant purée that was pretty tasty, and the chicken was juicy. It would have been nice for this dish to have a fresh element as well (such as the pickled cabbage or vegetables that the other dishes had). Everyone cleaned their plates, but the best part of the meal was the basket of fresh pita bread served with herby olive oil for dipping. The bread had the perfect balance of textures: crispy exterior, chewy and soft interior. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is pretty small with less than 10 tables, so it might be hard if you have a larger group, but they could probably move some tables together to accommodate. The parking lot in front is also very small, so if you can't find a spot, I recommend parking in the Rice Village garage (free 2 hour parking).

We love Mediterranean food and this was our first time dining here. Did not disappoint. Will return to try out something different from their extensive menu. Get the dessert! It was one of the best I've ever had.

Tried this place for the first time today, not my first time having Turkish food, usually I avoid it because it doesn't have enough seasoning but some of their kabobs on the mixed grill platter were actually seasoned pretty well. I would still add more seasoning to the kabobs but they were pretty good. The adana & chicken kabobs were my favorite.I replaced the rice with fries and they have really great fries! I highly recommend them. We also had their "Munti" I think it was called, which is like a cross between a dumpling and ravioli, it was filled with beef and tasted pretty good but could still use some more flavor. The service is great and the restaurant is cozy, they do have a small parking lot though so it's better to car pool if you come here with a lot of people. I recommend you check this place out, their food is better than the other Turkish spots Ive been to in Houston.
