The appetizers are out of this world. I recommend the lebne (yogurt with walnuts) and the ezme (a tomato-ey, peppery, parsleyed goodness), but everything is great. The eggplant is smooth and silky, and the hummus has an unforgettable tahini richness. I love the bread, which would break even the most sincere Atkins fan. The atmosphere is musty, an anachronism with its deep reds and faded formality in the heart of an ever-modernizing urban center. Somehow, that worn interior complements the food, making it seem old-world, regardless of how potentially Westernized the food may be. I love it, and I can't recommend it heartily enough. read more

Excellent! Started off with small mezza that three of us shared. The warm Turkish bread was the best part. Then red lentil soup wit hint of cardamon(just okay). Mains included kofta kebab(flavorful), veggie sandwich(fresh and light), and beef kebab(get the kofta instead). Unfortunately too full for dessert. Service was attentive and friendly. We will definitely return. read more

I have no idea why it has taken me soo long to come here, the Durum was epic i honestly had no idea what i ordered and i also ordered take out so i didnt actually get to see it till i got home and opened the to go box. i was very happy when i did though, my truck will smell like it for a long time. The owner was also incredibly polite and nice, he literally refused and made me sit down at a table and gave me some hot tea while i waited for my food to be ready. I am for sure going back later on to get the whole experience. read more

The food was great, but the decor was very dated. It's definitely not a hip modern restaurant, but I would eat there again. I had the Turkish pizza, which wasn't what I expected, but was really good. The prices were affordable for the area. read more

Meat was cooked to perfection. Staff was kind and helpful. Great quality with a good quantity. Great flavors and authentic cooking.

My boyfriend and I had our Valentine's dinner here last night and it was amazing! Food was great. They have wine but you can bring your own too - first bottle free and 2nd there is a corking fee. We both got lamb entrees, a small pizza to share and the rise pudding dessert, and it was perfect. We will definitely be going back! Staff was very friendly and attentive. They also bring you a free small Turkish tea at the end that was icing on the cake! read more

We don't really know how the food is... Cause we couldn't even park. They have a really tight one way driveway that goes to a back parking. We were going in when someone was trying to get out. He wouldn't just back up so we had to do it all the way to the street. When we tried to go back in, we found out all the spots were taken. We decided to leave. It was around 2:30pm and it was hard to find a spot even on the street. They say the place has great food, so I guess if you go to Pasha, go with patience and not a lot of hunger in case you want to wait and spend time finding a parking place. read more

Yes, I do like this place. I've only been twice, but will certainly be back. I have only been for lunch. The restaurant appears to be in what was formerly a house. Not much parking in front but there may be parking in the rear, not certain. The food has always been fresh and tastes good and they serve you quickly for lunch (there is a lunch menu). Bread is delicious along with olive oil based dipping sauce (with oregano and sesame seeds). Wait staff has always been attentive and friendly. Lebni and Cacik are delicious! read more

Great food! I highly recommend the doner kebab and chicken dish. I really enjoyed the seasonings used. I will definitely be coming back. Only negative thing is the lack of alcohol options. But still great. read more

amazing lamb and beef kabob! The babaganoosh was on point as well!

We are here in Houston for medical reasons. Since our hometown is small and doesn't offer a great deal of variety, we are exploring different types of food. We have been to this restaurant twice. They have a vegetarian section on the menu and I appreciate it. My companion had the yogurt kabob the first night and said it had too much bread ( it clearly states bread on the menu) but he enjoyed it nonetheless. I had begets tables the first night and they were great! The second night I had vegetable stuffed eggplant and that was good to. Enjoy! read more

I visited Pasha for the first time today. I guess, it was...OK. The staff were pleasant, the food was...OK. I had kofte kebab, companion had lamb shish kebab; the food was just not very memorable. There was nothing particularly wrong/offensive about the experience; it's just I felt that for the same price range, I could have had much better Mediterranean food elsewhere. Will probably visit just because it's close-by, out of laziness. read more

Best Turkish food you'll find here in Houston. I love how small and cozy this place is, have yet to be there when it's super packed though, because I have a feeling I wouldn't like it so much then. Nonetheless, the food is always worth it. I wish the parking situation was a little better though, that small alley leading back to the 4-5 parking spots is very narrow and intimidating. The Beyti Kebab is my fave dish, the yogurt mixed in with the tomato sauce is just amazing! read more

This is a charming little restaurant with friendly wait staff and delicious Mediterranean food. I will definately be back for more!

I'm extremely picky when it comes to food. Food either is fresh and full of flavor or just plain isn't. The babaganoush was excellent the chicken donar was good. I've had better though. I'd suggest adding falafel to the menu. read more

Excellent service, very tasty food, the best Turkish restaurant in town! A very cute and cozy restaurant, feels like home when you dine in there read more

I love this place. Go here every weekend with my best friend and we chat and drink lots of Turkish coffee, eat delish food, and sometimes drink tea too. Great service!! read more

Ate here yesterday. Location: Pretty good. 5 stars. Parking: There was parking in the back, but a narrow alley with one way in, one way out. 1 star. Service: Kind of slow in the facts that we (a party of seven) were the only ones there. But since we were a party of 7, I'm willing to forgive that. 3 stars. Appetizer: The bread was basically pizza dough, not actually pita. But still good. 4 stars. Hummus was good too. Main Dish: Didn't like the pickled cabbage, but enjoyed the cucumber-garlic dip and rice. Couldn't tell between the lamp and beef. 4 stars. Coffee: Good coffee, sweet but not too sweet, but tiny cups! 3 stars. Restrooms: Nothing to complain about, but nothing special. 3 stars Overall: 4 stars (not an average) read more

My wife invited me to join her here for lunch today. It was a great suggestion. I ordered the red lentil soup and the lamb kebob. Both were excellent. Love the little pickled cabbage that comes with the main dish. Fluffy rice. Lamb cooked perfectly to a medium rare. I wasn't a big fan of the hummus. And the decor is a little campy with the tourism posters. But the overall experience was very satisfying. read more

My husband and I love to try food from different countries. We decided to try Turkish food at Pasha after reading all the good reviews. We had the Lebni yogurt dip, lahmacun (pronounced "la ma june") lamb pizza, and the mixed grill. Everything was amazing. read more

A quaint little Turkish restaurant. Family run. My dad and I met the owner Mustafa and his son Nessie. They are such nice people. And the food was AMAZING!! read more

What a treat this was! Great Mediterranean food Can't say enough about how good the lamb was. Laidback atmosphere. Service was attentive. Save room for some Turkish tea and rice pudding -creamiest tastiest that I've ever had. read more

My family and I just discovered this wonderful restaurant about a couple months ago and we cannot stop coming back for their delicious Meze Platter and their weekend Sultan Special. The staff is extremely helpful and the whole place has a wonderfully happy atmosphere I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have some great Mediterranean food! read more

The food is excellent and the customer service is amazing. Def coming back here again.)

Love, love, love this place! The bread is amazing. I always get the beef kabob and it's incredible. I always clean my plate. I highly recommend Pasha. read more

Pasha is without question one of the best restaurants in Houston. The food is absolutely delectable and the service is second to none. My husband and I first went to Pasha in 2005 and have been regulars ever since, sometimes eating there three and four times a week. The food is always fresh, mouthwatering and prepared with extreme care. The owner, Mustafa, is an absolute pleasure to be around. He takes the customers preferences and satisfaction very seriously and takes immense pride in the quality of his food. It is very difficult to find restaurants in Houston that make vegetarian or vegan dishes and not only understand but cater to the particular preferences of some vegans. The vegan options at Pasha are plentiful and absolutely amazing. Our favorite dish is the mixed vegetable plate, which includes an assortment of vegetables in the most wonderful sauce, served on a bed of seasoned rice - absolutely scrumptious. The veggie pide is light, yet filling, tasty, but subtle at the same time. The humus, babaganush, tabuli and ezme are an absolute must to try. The texture of the humus and babaganush is perfect, flavors are rich yet subtle. Another favorite of ours is the dolma, again, perfect combination of flavors, great texture - it is impossible to eat just one. Our favorite treat on recent cold days is Mustafa's lentil soup - absolutely wonderful. At Pasha the food is wonderful, the environment is relaxing and comforting, the service is impeccable, but our highest complement for this wonderful restaurant is they are consistent! They do not have off days where the food is not as good or the staff is not as attentive. For five years we have always received the best food and service possible and are extremely grateful. Thank you Mustafa for everything! The Scotts read more

Since the Kebab house closed in the Woodlands - this is now the very best Turkish Restaurant in all of Houston (it was really almost a tie before). The Turkish relatives all approve - and their decidedly Mid American in-law (me) thinks its absolutely yummy too. Go for the Iskander Kebab, drink an Efes and dine in an ambiance that's downright classy. Only loss of 1 star for less than exceptional service. Go in the afternoon before 6 and even on a weekend there is parking out front usually. read more

Not too unlike Istanbul Grill down the street, but more upscale. They have white table clothes and you can bring a date to this place. The food is good but nothing extraordinary. Their list of beer and wine is limited the waiters can sometimes disappear for no reason or give too much attention to certain tables. You won't be disappointed if you come here, but it is not a unique Turkish experience you might be hopping for. read more

Great Food! They have been serving quality Turkish food consistently over the years with decent service. We have been there several times. Great home made pita, fresh appetizers( our favorites are dolma, eggplant salad and of course humus). Nice veggie selections (try stuffed eggplant). I like their gyro (doner kebab) made of thin slices of meat, not ground one. If you are looking for a richer dish I would recommend the iskender kebab. The menu is full of different varieties of dishes that I enjoy trying out every time I pay a visit. read more

This is probably my go-to restaurant for Turkish food. They have the best hummus. Their dishes have good-sized portions, and they are priced fairly. Good service, cute restaurant in a renovated house. read more

I have always wanted to try some turkish cuisine. I went to this place with my friends yesterday. The parking is so limited. I had to park on the nearby street. The food was delicious. We tried pasha special and shish kabab there. The price was also reasonable. If you are looking for a place to have turkish food, i definately recommend this place. read more

This place is amazing! The Turkish soda is super cool. It tastes similar to 7up. My husband had beef and lamp kabobs with rice and I had the special, which was an eggplant hollowed out, filled with ground lamb and veggies, topped with melted cheese, and served with rice. IT WAS SO GOOD. We had babaganoush for an appetizer, and it was amazing as well. It was served with an olive oil sauce with herbs. The food is truly the reflection of someone who is passionate about food as an art. The ONLY down side is that the restaurant still has carpet, which is less sanitary than preferred but gives a home-like feel to match the building (It's in an old house.) i also think this would make a great date place! The tables and general environment looked clean with flowers and candles. All around very awesome! We'll be back if/when we're in Houston again! read more

I ate here with a medium sized group including children. The food was decent but not the best I've ever had. The service was pretty good and lunch was reasonably priced. I'll be back again sometime. read more

Great Mediterranean to pick up for dinner or dine in on a weekday for dinner. We had the chicken kabob, ground beef/lamb kabob and hummus. All were excellent. Just overall a great meal. Very happy to have this restaurant in the 'hood. read more

I have been going there over 10 years and this place is one of the best Turkish restaurants that I have been in the states. Particularly, lahmacun and other pides are superb. read more

Excellent!! Kofta kebab outstanding juicy and flavorful. My wife tried Turkish pizza and it was great new experience. I would recommend this bistro highly. read more

This place is awesome. Amazing food, incredible service, And wonderful ambiance. I had the Turkish Shepard Salad and followed by the Doner. Lunch was great, but I'll bet dinner is even better read more

The bread and the food is good. I have been there two times. The place is a little small, but I liked it.

Loved it! Nice quiet atmosphere, very good service and the food was great! The lamb was tasty, no fat, no grease! Would defiantly go back.

Really liked the whole experience. Service was polite, nice and fast. They work as a team and it's amazing. In case you need something, you don't have to wait for your waiter, you can just ask someone else to help you out. Food was great, especially Doner and Adana kebabs. If you order Doner, I do recommend you get Cacik and use it as a sauce for meat, amazing combination. Besides servers, there's also manager who constantly checks on tables and makes sure people are having good time and enjoying food. They also serve(sometimes) complimentary tea. It's really delicious. read more
