    Complimentary bread
    Elizabeth G.

    On a Sunday night, they weren't very busy. And I wonder why? This place was one of the best restaurants in Connecticut!!! In my experience, CT is full of unauthentic and flavorless food. NOT PASHA! wow. The complimentary bread and butter, which they serve you a mountain, is soft and fresh. Almost like a foccacia mixed with a fluffy pita. Sigara borek was phyllo rolled with feta inside. Any cheese lover would enjoy. The flakiness was perfect. Gozleme patato could have used more filling. I didn't really taste for feel the cheese. It did have peppers in it and boosted the flavor! Mixed chicken platter had A LOT of flavor and it was a great way to showcase each individual chicken dish. My favorite was the juicy kebab chunks. Shoutout to the doner as well! It was very flavorful and juicy. For dessert we ordered the knafeh. Cheesy, buttery, sweet, and crunchy. Very comforting and worth the 20 minute wait

    Turkish Bread Loaf

    Ozgur, our attentive waiter , made sure our dinner was delightful. We opted to share the mixed grill which was a variety of meats and rice. All was tastefully prepared. The babagannush was not a typical eggplant as there was no tomato base , but was delicious. The restaurant is large so everyone had a chance to converse without a noisy background,

    Bread and cold hummus

    Don't be fooled by its location. Once you go inside, you will see beautiful ornate chandeliers and a cozy ambience. Everything we ate were prepared fresh and full of flavor! I highly recommend checking out Pasha!

    Baklava dessert

    My husband and I recently tried Pasha Turkish restaurant and it did not disappoint! I got the mixed grill, which was really fun to try the sampler of all the different meats. I liked all of them! My husband got the lamb shank dinner and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We started with some little zucchini pancakes, which were a hit. The decor inside the restaurant is very nicely decorated and was pleasantly surprising. The outside is kind of unassuming, but when you go in, it's a really nice little date spot. The only thing I didn't care for was the baklava because I'm not a big pistachio fan. I have been to some Greek festivals which I know are different than Turkish food and they don't have pistachios in theirs so that's the only reason why I didn't care for it. There is a picture that I took of the Rose tres leches cake that looked beautiful and I think I will try that next time. I did not try that this trip. Definitely go try them if you are in the area!

    "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!

    Excellent food excellent wine excellent service amazing dessert best coffee and lots of appetizers

    Greek Salad

    Last night we went to dine at Pasha. It was genuinely a very pleasant experience all throughout. Pasha is a Turkish restaurant. The interior is elegantly styled and comfortable. They had a beautiful Turkish Moroccan Mosaic lamp hanging right at the front. I was surprised they had cocktails and alcoholic beverages available. This is not typical in Middle Eastern restaurants. The prices were very reasonable I had to do a double take that they weren't mocktails. Their menu features plenty of traditional meaty options, some fresh salads and appetizers. I first started with their mojito. This was fresh and minty. A delightful cocktail. Their complimentary bread, was pillowy and fresh. Be careful, it is easy to overdo it with this delicious bread. For an appetizer we got a serving of their Babaganoush. This was an excellent pairing to that bread. This was incredibly tasty, you could taste the the eggplant, the olive oil and the lemon juice, together they created a super dreamy creamy combo. I got their version of a Gyro Quesadilla. This arrived with four very generous portions. It was filled with tender lamb and melted cheese. We got a Greek salad to share. This salad was very generous in its size, it was very fresh and tasty. We concluded with their chocolate cake. There were plenty of other traditional dessert options. This cake was very chocolatey and fresh. The top layer was very dark chocolate to me. We had a very pleasant first time at Pasha.

    First time! Amazing food, and service. Everything we had was perfect and very fresh. The inside of the restaurant is just lovely, clean and very inviting. The staff were all very nice and extremely receptive to our needs. Will definitely be back.

    Welcome to Pasha! This place is now a year old! I haven't been here since last January! It's the same server too! It is located at 397 Broad St. in Manchester, CT. I have not been to very many Turkish restaurants. I believe the last one was in Springfield. They play Turkish music and the employees are all Turkish (I think). The place is really big. There must be [at least] 40 tables in here. Do not be deceived by the small store front. It is very deep. It's incredibly clean. I could even smell the cleaning chemicals at first. They start me off with a complementary carafe of water. It's nice. I don't believe it is tap water. It must be filtered. They also serve complementary bread with either oil or butter. That's a LOT of bread. A meal in itself! For my first drink, I am having the J.W. Black Label Old Fashioned. This is made with Johnny Black Walker, Elderflower liqueur and Angostura bitters. I've never seen an Old Fashioned made this way. This is classy! They use a circular ice cube to minimize the dilution tine. It is perfectly balanced, nicely garnished (two lemon peels) and has a very unique taste (thanks to the elderflower liqueur). This is good! The menus are very nice too and include pictures. The drink menu does not have prices. The decor is nice with a few ethnic paintings (and a few not filled yet). I like the [artificial] trees in the dining area. They hang cool lights on the walls. Nice, colorful, low hanging chandeliers too. For my soup, I'm having the mercimek (lentil). Mercimek çorbası (lentil soup) is the most popular and widely consumed soup in Turkey. Ingredients are typically red lentils, onion, carrot, potato or tomato, vegetable or light meat stock, olive oil or butter, and spices such as cumin and paprika. This came out quick! This is piping hot! The soup is delicious! Good portion. I like the addition of the crushed red pepper for a little kick. Be sure to sprinkle that lemon on it. I love the elongated spoon. They also bring out complementary bread and butter. No butter for me. The bread is good! For my salad, I am getting the Tabbouleh (this is Arabic not Turkish) made with parsley, tomatoes, bulgur, scallions, lemon juice and olive oil. Look at this monster salad! It is huge! This came out real quick! This comes with a lemon to sprinkle upon them. They have great presentation and tastes fantastic! Be sure to sprinkle the lemon. It's like a chopped salad. The Tabbouleh had a LOT of parsley. For my next drink, I'm having the Classic Martini made with gin, dry vermouth and olives (garnish). This is made with Greenall gin. I've never had this before. It's not bad! The taste is a bit off but is still fine. There are a lot of small, floating ice particles, but I don't care. It does , keep it cool, and melts quick. It has a nice olive garnish skewer too. Very good overall! For my appetizer, we are having the Mized Meze. Meze is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers in Arabic and West Asian cuisines. You know me! I loved samplers! This includes humus, babagannush, eggplant salad, haydari, havuc tarator & antep ezme. Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Baba ghanoush, also known as baba ganouj or muttabal, is a creamy, smoky eggplant dip that originated in the Levant region of the Middle East. The dish is made by blending roasted or grilled eggplant with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and seasonings. Haydari is a type of yogurt dish similar to a thick cacık, made from certain herbs and spices, combined with garlic and yogurt. Antep Ezme is made with tomatoes, hot peppers, green peppers, onions, garlic, walnuts and olive oil. Look at this! You have to love the carrot slices dividing the individual items. There is paprika scattered on top. The server lays down the spoons as he describes each one. This goes great with bread! Wow! Is this good! I love the variety of textures and flavors! For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Kofte (flat chicken meatballs). Spicy please! Chicken meatballs aren't easy to find. This is the best! That jalapeño is hot! The salad has a nice light dressing too. I love the grilled tomato! This flavor is unbelievable! It was also nice to have a few minutes to chat with the owner! For my dessert drink, I'm having the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is a rich, unfiltered coffee made from finely ground beans simmered in a special pot (cezve) with water and sugar, resulting in a strong brew with grounds that settle at the bottom. It is extremely fine, like powder, much finer than espresso. Black, for me. I like the metal cup, this way it's not too hot in the hands. This is thick and yummy! For my dessert, I'm having the Pistachio Cake. This is a first for me. The plate is nicely chilled. This is real good! This place is incredible! There is no shortage of leftovers. I have at least two more servings worth. What a fantastic meal!

    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
    Kevin D.

    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.
