About Pasha's Restaurant

Feast family-style over charcoal-grilled kebabs and vibrant meze platters in Newtown, where mosaic lamps glow and weekend energy runs high. Tables fill quickly with big banquets—think smoky baba ganoush, crisp cigara borek, and tender lamb with yogurt sauce. Locals bring their own wine to pair with the spread, and the kitchen easily handles mixed dietary crews, keeping gluten-free and vegetarian diners just as well fed. Come Saturday night, live Göbek Dansı performers sweep through the aisles, before tables finish on hot, syrup-soaked kunefe straight from the oven.

  • Saturday Night Göbek Dansı: Live performances wind between tables on Saturday evenings, dialing up celebratory banquet nights.
  • BYO Wine Welcomed: Guests can bring outside bottles to pair with multi-course banquet menus, backed by beer and wine on the list.
  • Flexible Dietary Accommodations: Dedicated vegetarian options and careful gluten-free accommodations keep varied group dining seamless.

  • Immersive Turkish Decor and Ambiance

    The interior combines ornate Turkish lamps, vibrant ceramic tile tables, and traditional decor that transport guests into an authentic cultural atmosphere.

    The aesthetic and ambience of the place with the Turkish lamps and custom made tables were gorgeous.

  • Attentive Dietary and Coeliac Care

    Attentive floor staff and kitchen accommodations ensure guests with strict coeliac requirements or vegetarian preferences dine safely without losing flavor.

    We went as a party of 5 (including someone who is coeliac) and the staff were so helpful and aware of alternative dietary needs.

  • Generous Multi-Course Feasts

    Banquet dining formats offer a generous multi-course progression of mezze, freshly baked Turkish breads, and chargrilled specialties that satisfy large appetites.

    The last visit we had the banquet (with Haloumi), everything that came out was fresh, hot and very flavoursome.

  • Flexible BYO Wine Pairing

    Parties celebrating milestones can pair expansive group banquets with BYO wine alongside the venue's own beer and wine selection.

    We were able to enjoy BYO wine plus wine and beer also being available on the menu.
