Review Details

Pasha Cafe is the most authentic and interesting Mediterranean restaurant to add to your Pittsburgh bucket list. The food is so delicious here and there are so many options, especially tempting appetizers. The vibe and decor are both great, and the patio one of the best in the 'Burgh. This cafe is located in Shadyside, and thus, walkable to numerous coffeehouses and shops.

Food

Pasha serves the best Mediterranean and Turkish fare in Pittsburgh. There are so many wonderful appetizers to enjoy including falafel, spinach borek rolls, stuffed grape leaves, and hummus. Lots of combo plates where you can try a handful of apps.

For anyone seeking a healthy meal, Pasha offers a number of great vegetarian entrees including a Grilled Veggie Platter, and a Veggie Appetizer Platter which includes falafel, spinach and cigarette borek, zucchini, and rice. Additional entrees include various Lamb, Chicken, and Seafood specialties.

Don't leave without enjoying a Turkish Coffee served with a dessert of your choice. From Baklava, to Rice Pudding, to Kunefe, there is something here to tempt every sweet tooth.

Service

Service is great, very attentive and professional. The top notch service and pretty ambiance make it a great 'Burgh date destination.

Atmosphere

The setting here is beautiful, both inside the dining room and on the covered patio. The unique setting inside an old house is interesting. The interior features beautiful colorful Turkish lamps. Overall, a beautiful place for a date or a fun night out.

Final Words

Pasha Cafe is one of the best restaurants in Shadyside. If you are seeking good Mediterranean/Turkish cuisine, this local gem is your best bet in Pittsburgh. The food, service, and ambiance are all amazing, and bonus points for the fantastic patio and gorgeous Turkish lamp chandeliers!
