The first word that comes to my mind about this restaurant is AMAZING, I mean seriously it's a hidden gem inside itself
You enter a very normal looking hotel find your way through a narrow corridor leaving behind the sauna room, Turkish bath, a pool table take a right turn then left and it's there, no it's not there's a small door at the very end written Pasha and you start thinking am I at the right. You open the door and bam the restaurant leaves you in astonishment it looks so cozy comfy and reminds you of your home.
So when you enter from that door you can either sit on the table or low sitting tables surrounded by overstuffed pillows which is so comfortable and I'll suggest you take that one.
The restaurant was empty and only two other people were there who seemed to be enjoying a lot.
I was so relaxed and amazed at the same time because the experience created by that narrow corridor.
So we started off with some Turkish coffee which seemed like a lighter version of espresso.
In starters we ordered Icli Kofte and what should I say those were really amazing so crisp and so fresh perfect balance between the different spices as well as the flavour of the lamb was intact so well.
For the main course we ordered Besh Barmak and it was so yummmmm just wow so well balanced onions broth tender beef and dumpling which looked like lasagna pasta but it was so damn amazing. A must try I should say
The other two things that we ordered were Chicken Alaturka again good but was nothing in front of the above mentioned dish and from the grill we ordered Adana Shashlik and to be honest it was not that good just a little below fine.
So to end up with we ordered black tea and along with that Chak Chak which very well complimented the tea and left us very much satisfied.
The quantity was good flavours were very well balanced.
The most important thing about the restaurant was its ambience its feel. So much felt like home and we sat there for 4 hours even after that we did not wanted to leave.
The person serving us was so nice friendly and he was really happy to talk to us about the food dishes and the restaurant.
Looking forward for a second visit.
A true hidden gem of Central Asian cuisine just off the Camberwell Road. Most definitely unassuming from the entrance, however once you reach the restaurant entrance through an interesting maze of corridors, you are transported to a large restaurant, beautifully decorated to allow traditional floor/cushioned seated areas as well as normal table and chairs etc, which produces an atmospheric setting. Opt for traditional seating and get the full experience. The food tastes great, an amazing fusion of Middle-eastern and Asian styles, very tasty indeed! Excellent friendly service, an absolute treat! Thanks to the team at Pasha.
A wonderful find!. No one would expect to find a restaurant right at the back end of a hotel front with no windows but there's one hidden off Camberwell Road.
We had the Pasha set for £16.50 for a three course meal and it was excellent. The starters were fresh with all the flavours complementing each other. The beef straganov as the main was very delicious, served with mushrooms and pickles over a bed of rice, and was better than the chicken alaturka was a bit salty but good enough. Dessert was fried doughy bits with raisin and a red sauce which is similar to a Chinese biscuit I had before. The meal ended with a hot tea and very good strong coffee!
Service was great and efficient and it's an amazing value for what we had. The room is beautifully decorated with colourful carpets and cushions and had a pleasant ambience. Highly recommended. (9/10)
p.s. there's the turkish bath too for anyone who fancies a scrub and a clean!
