Allhamdulillah for the food. The service is great. Making sure the water is filled and asking if we need anything. The atmosphere feels like semi Turkish country but it’s not. The food was really filling. The price has increased since Covid. Even a regular here and always get the mix chicken kabob and lamb Adana. Tried the lamb chops and was superb. Love their Turkish bread and the white sauce. The smoothie strawberry mango is filled to the top and really tasty 😋

Pasha Grill in Dayton, Ohio, offers a delightful dining experience with an inviting ambiance that beautifully captures the essence of Turkish culture. The decor and atmosphere create a warm, welcoming space perfect for enjoying a great meal.
The food was outstanding overall, with some minor points of improvement. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, but it had a touch too much tahini for my taste. The rice portion, surprisingly, was very small—especially for a Turkish or Middle Eastern restaurant where rice is typically abundant and central to the meal.
The grilled spicy chicken kebab and Adana shish kebab were nothing short of exceptional—juicy, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The yogurt sauce was a standout, complementing the meats with its rich, tangy flavor. The roasted vegetables were cooked to perfection, providing a savory and slightly smoky addition to the plate.
For drinks, we ordered a classic mojito and a mocktail—both were fantastic, well-balanced, and refreshing. We also tried the Turkish tea and apple tea. Finally, a place that serves truly authentic Turkish tea! It was aromatic and full of character, a joy to savor.
For dessert, the kunefe was absolutely fantastic—crispy on top, chewy inside, and perfectly sweetened with the syrup.
The only downside to our visit was the service. While I don’t expect servers to hover, they seemed to vanish entirely for long stretches, which was frustrating. Service is an integral part of the dining experience, and unfortunately, it fell short here.
Overall, Pasha Grill is a wonderful spot with amazing food, refreshing drinks, and a lovely atmosphere. With a bit of improvement in service and portion sizes, it would easily be a 5-star experience.

I went here alone after work to try their lunch special, I was greeted by a friendly waitress that asked me if I'd prefer a seat inside or on their patio.

After I was seated I ordered the lunch special: For $17.95 you get to choose from their appetizer plates (which include soups, salads, and some ethnic specialties like babaganoush,) an entree, and the dessert of the day, it was a really great value and they serve a lot of dishes you really couldn't find anywhere else.

I ordered the Lentil soup and was also served naan bread and a kind of dipping oil. The soup was fantastic.

Afterwards they served the entree "Doner Kebab Plate" which was very flavorful and balanced with meat, rice, and vegetables. Then came the dessert which was something like a tapioca pudding, or a dogh, it was sweet and delicate.

The décor was very stylish and thematic and lended to an overstated cultural ambience that couldn't be more pleasant and exotic.

As for the service: my Waitress: Elif was very helpful and very sweet, she did not bother or crowd me but she was present if I ever needed anything and genuinely cared if the food was agreeable, she definitely made my visit a very enjoyable dining experience!

The restaurant looks great, with cool decor and laid back ambiance. We started with some hummus with house baked pita. The pita was fresh and soft and was served with some saffron infused olive oil. In the main entree we ordered Doner kabab with gyro meat. It was served with some buttered rice and vegetables. The portion size was huge. However, I didn’t like the meat as it had a strong funky smell of lamb. I ordered a chicken Adana kabab wrap. The wrap was served with fries. The wrap was mediocre as the Adana kabab was not much flavourful. Overall, it was pretty decent meal. We were too full to try any dessert.

The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting with beautiful decorations that enhanced the dining experience. We ordered the Adana kebab and Hünkar Beğendi, both of which were absolutely delicious. For dessert, we tried the kunafa, which was decent but could have been better.

Pasha Grill offers an authentic Turkish food dining experience. I was very impressed by the decors and the theme of the restaurant. The food portion and taste were good. The food came out very quickly which made me question if the dishes were only re-heated instead of being actively prepared by cooks.
