    "Flat" meatballs
    Lisa F.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    While in the mood for Greek food, we stopped by Adriatik in Glastonbury. When we first arrived,…read moreoutside the door was marked as "Adriatik's Catering" I wasn't sure if this is where Catering orders come out of, but it turns out it's all one place. The inside was entirely empty, a few people stopped by to pick up their orders, but no one was dining inside. On the wall they have awards they've received from 2011 to 2025, all for being in the top 10 restaurants. It was a bit awkward being the only ones here, but there are bigger issues in the world. Their menu offers pizzas, pasta, gyros, salads and more. We first got an order of their sautéed calamari. This had a nice tender and chewy texture. This is unlike what most places offer. The sauce was also very flavorful, we actually ate it by the spoonful like a soup. Their garlic bread was great for dipping into the sauce. Not a very garlicky garlic bread but not bad. We all got some variation of the gyro, with salad, fries or rice. Mine was with the Greek Salad. This Greek Salad was very fresh and the feta cheese on it sealed it all together. Unfortunately the lamb in the gyro was very overcooked and dry. It wasn't good at all. The tzatziki sauce is always a favorite. Overall I wasn't super impressed with my meal. I might stop by sometime in the future and try something else.

    Central Connecticut. Glastonbury to be specific. Fifty pizza places in a three block area. (…read moreseems that way anyway). But as we know this IS the spot on the map for the best pizza, not the south end of the state, its up here in the middle. And Adriatik blends right in. Got that greeky crust going on, thicker than that lame thin New Haven stuff. A decent sauce, not too sweet, not too much 'zing'. You wont be getting heartburn from it. Works for me. You looking for a pasta dish, you'll find something worth checking out. Baked Manicotti was good. Prices are getting up there, as they are everywhere. Plenty of tables inside, has an old school pizza place vibe. Staff is always friendly and happy to see you. The place around the corner in the same mall ( starts with a G) always seems to have more cars, must be the booze cus the food over there sucks. Adriatik, go there.

I decided to create my own bowl and made it clear out loud that it was my first visit. However, no one explained that several toppings are extra or that there's a limit on how many items you can choose from certain sections before being charged. Since I wasn't informed, I kept adding ingredients as I went along. The person making my bowl never mentioned the additional costs, and another employee at the counter kept staring at my bowl, instead of offering guidance. A simple explanation like "you can choose up to three from this section, anything extra costs more" would have made a big difference--especially for a first-time customer. When I got to the register, the total came to $40, which was honestly shocking for a salad. The food may be good, but the lack of communication and customer service really took away from the experience. First impressions matter, and this one definitely missed the mark. I have always passed by that road and wanted to try chopt. The salad was okay liked the falafel and the options they had.
