Pasha Cafe & Lounge

I loved this for brunch. Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because u didn't have any traditional dishes. Saw a few come out and they all looked amazingWe sat outside on the patio and I enjoyed how it was set up. Very homey vibes going on. Inside was nicer but not crazy upscale niceOur waitress was very nice gave us her personal favorite recommendationsI got the BLT in a waffle and everything was flavored well, fluffy waffle, runny eggs and the potatoes were seasoned AWESOMELY I will be returning here for sure for that Kunefe. Very hard to find in Pittsburgh

One of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh! Top-notch service, excellent food, and lovely vibes! My favorite item to order has to be the Lamb Adana! So flavorful & I genuinely can't get tired of it, no matter how many times I eat it! I'm originally from Albania and it has been difficult finding restaurants in Pittsburgh that remind me of the food back home. Although it's not exactly the same as they are different cuisines, Pasha Cafe & Lounge really brings forth some of the key flavors of the Mediterranean/Balkan areas. If you haven't checked them out yet, you must! Such delicious food and it's so reasonably priced. Hope I get to go back soon! 10/10.

Great little Lebanon/Mediterranean spot in Vancouver. I feel like I've walked into a comfy home, greeted by a family member.Nice to sit down a traditional table near Florida and enjoy the ambience.Good tea, appetizers and main courses. If you're unfamiliar with this type of food, the gracious hostess will walk you through with tasty recommendations Better food than in some other larger cities that I've visited and nice to know a local place

Pasha is a cute Turkish restaurant in Shadyside. I like the interior and the decor. I had high hopes for the food. I'd say it was ok. Not great, not bad. We started with a few appetizers: hummus, kisir, cacik, spinach borek. And then we shared izgara kofte. I liked the hummus. The spinach borek is a little like a Greek spinach pie, except it's deep fried. It was fine, but I think I prefer a flaky spinach pie more. The Kofte was a bit overdone. A good kofta should have nice spice mixture and be moist, like a burger. This had a crunchy crust and was overcooked and dried out. The cacik, a yogurt, cucumber and mint dish, saved the kofta!

Everything was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was like dining at someone's home and we really enjoyed it. Falafel and chicken kebabs were the standouts here. The hummus was a slightly different texture than I am used to, but the creamy yogurt dipping sauce was incredible. Would happily return if in the area.

As I was going to the Mexican restaurant I saw this place and looked on Yelp and it had great reviews. I'm a huge fan of middle eastern food. Safak was great! Super friendly and knew what to recommend. If I'm ever back in this state I will come here and highly recommend!

A serviceable and solid restaurant in Shadyside with an ADORABLE patio area! This restaurant is a staple of Walnut Street and has great vibes. The food is definitely hit or miss; the appetizer sampler isn't as good as it used to be, for instance. I really loved the salmon! Service was great. Price is a little higher than I would expect for the quality and quantity.

One of the best meals I've had recently! We really did it up with the appetizers - spinach borek, calamari, baba ganoush and falafel. The calamari was super tender, the spinach borek was really tasty and the baba ganoush was outstanding. I had never had falafel before and it wasn't my favorite but that's my preference, still glad I tried it! I ordered the filet mignon beef shish for my entree. I had to order it medium well (pregnant) but I usually prefer medium rare - rare. Let me tell you, this steak was SO tender and flavorful, even cooked medium well. I was so impressed. The rice and salad were also very good. We ended the night with baklava and Turkish coffee - delicious!! The service was incredible. Our server was so friendly and attentive. It was a busy Saturday night but they seemed to keep everything rolling smoothly. I can't wait to return!

Went back here for dinner with my wife and enjoyed it very much. The food is still great (not that I'm surprised). One new thing we tried is the chicken mixed grill; it's an excellent value if you want a lot of food (and we wanted some leftovers to take home, partly to share with our daughter). The mixed grill has all four chicken varieties from the menu (kebab, adana, chops, and kofte; 2-4 pieces of each). The meat prices are on the higher side at Pasha (well worth it though for the quaity) so getting the larger platter helps offset that.Pasha has a very nice ambience for an early dinner. It's on the quiet side and they have a porch area with lots of natural light. We'd definitely come back for another nicer occasion.

We had a lovely dinner at Pasha last night. It was fairly busy around 7pm on a Friday, but we were still seated right away. The dining room, and patio especially, were kind of tight - making it a bit uncomfortable if you, like me, have any concerns about keeping a few feet of personal space. Our server was very polite and friendly, and checked on us often while still giving us plenty of time to enjoy our meal. We started with spinach borek, which were really delicious! Both of our entrees were fairly good, but neither was exceptional; the fried zucchini was fantastic and the rice was very good, but the falafel and chicken were both a little dry and underwhelming. Portion sizes were also a bit small, though neither of us left hungry. Overall it was a pleasant evening at a cute spot, with nice food, and a crowded dining room.
