Sensational long-running family restaurant. For over 20 years, Pasha has been delivering authentic Turkish cuisine in the Rice/Houston area. It’s a small establishment but they got plenty of experience and thanks to that, dining at this restaurant is outstanding. Service is warm and very welcoming. The decor and atmosphere project Turkish restaurant vibes. The real star of the show is the food however. Turkish cuisine is well-known and Pasha excels at bringing authentic and well prepared Turkish flavors. The list of option for everything, appetizers, entrees, drinks, desserts, is very expansive so you have plenty of delicious variety. I would recommend the Kebabs since Turkish Kebabs are world renowned. The spices and flavors are distinct and very authentic. Please support local businesses providing an excellent experience.

What a lovely restaurant! For parking, there is street parking right around the corner of the restaurant if there isn’t any space in front. The inside feels very homey with a good number of tables and seats. My friends and I ordered the: Babaganush (creamy puree of grilled eggplant) Sucuk Izgara (grilled turkey beef sausage) Pasha mixed Grill Platter Sultac (oven baked rice pudding) Kazandibi (Turkish Flan) The babaganush was fantastic- loved how you can taste the tahini and garlic with the eggplant. That paired with the hot bread was delicious. The sucuk izgara is also another must get! It’s on the saltier side but the flavor is on point and with the grilled tomato and the bread, it balances out. The pasha mixed grilled platter wasn’t exactly my favorite (I’m just personally not a huge fan of lamb) but my friends really enjoyed it. The grilled chicken was delicious though- had a nice char flavor. As for the dessert, both dishes were served chilled and they were a perfect way to end the meal. The rice pudding was soft and the cinnamon and pistachio on top was tasty! The flan is definitely firmer than what I had expected but both were still creamy, sweet (but not too sweet), and fantastic. The owners gave us complimentary tea for the dessert which was so sweet of them! It paired very nicely with the sulfac and kazandibi. Overall, the food was delicious, the vibes were very cozy, and the owners/workers here were wonderful. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on Pasha’s menu!

Business dinner was spectacular! I had the privilege of introducing a small group of colleagues to Turkish cuisine....and Pasha certainly delivered. While initially hesitant, since they had never eaten Turkish, they raved about it afterward. Highly recommend the Iskender Kebap and the Ali Nazik. Trust me. Just try them! I'll be back the next time I am in Houston.

When you visit Pasha, you feel like you are at home. For starters it is in an actual house. Then Mustafa is the best, most convivial host. People speak in hushed tones to match the faint, sweet piano music, period Turkish artwork and dimmed lighting. You'd be forgiven for thinking you've walked into a time capsule - Casablanca vibes. The food is perfect. The doner kebab is proper meat, not that mass produced lunch meat from halal guys. Cannot recommend the beef in yogurt with breadcrumbs enough. Sublime. The pide with olive oil and zaatar to start and the sutlac and turkish tea to close out were perfect book ends. We had a great Eid dinner and will be back

The experience was wonderful! The inside of the restaurant felt like a cozy home so you sometimes forget that you're even in a restaurant to begin with😳. The servers were kind and genuine, they helped me and my parents out on what to eat since it was our first time being in their restaurant and trying Turkish food (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠). And the food did not disappoint! The Pita that they brought was so soft and delicate but still maintained the outside crusty exterior, it was very addicting to eat while we waited for our food. I ordered the Iskander Kebab and, to me, was very well made. It was well seasoned but not spicy and it came with a side of yogurt which adds a nice extra flavor to the meat🤌🏼. I also tried some of my parents Salmon and that was also very well seasonsed! After I finished eating I also ordered a Turkish Flan it had cinnamon and pistachio and managed to be delicious while not being too sweet. This restaurant is really a place that you don't want to miss out and if you've always wanted to try Turkish food then I recommend to go here👌🏼.
