Review on Pasha

Pasha Turkish restaurant presents a sophisticated take on traditional and contemporary Turkish cuisine, in a smart setting on Islington's main high street. Open since 1992, this top quality Turkish restaurant has established a popular reputation for fantastic food, excellent service and a relaxing atmosphere. The understated decor, with elegant murals and flickering candles, creates a mellow, spacious ambience within the restaurant.

Meanwhile, the classic and the modern are combined in a rich menu of fresh, well-executed dishes. Inspired by the most tantalising recipes of the East, Pasha's menus offer a range of mezze and a selection of main courses such as Duck Kapama, Falafel and the Pasha Feast set menu, perfect for two and adaptable for vegetarians. There is also an extensive range of fine wines as well as a choice of refreshing cocktails. Applauded by both the press and Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who considers Pasha to be his favourite local restaurant, this atmospheric and friendly venue is a true Turkish delight.
