Pasha Grill

Excellent service and delicious food! It’s a little on the pricier side, but it’s well worth it! The bread and oil that they bring to the table is amazing! You actually might want to split an entrée with someone because it’s easy to fill up on the bread! I most recently tried the Chicken Adana Wrap and it was delicious! I will definitely be having it again. One of my favorite things about Pasha is that it is right across the street from the Funny Bone comedy club, which I am becoming a frequenter of! Definitely a great dinner and show combination!

The food my husband and I ate at Pasha Grill is 100% worthy of a 5 star rating. It was absolutely amazing! We started with the complimentary Turkish bread and dipping oil and then ordered some hummus (you have to use the free bread they provide, which is thick and perfectly sturdy to load up with the delicious hummus) and some sigara borek (not greasy and the perfect ratio of feta). Both were beyond-​words delicious. For our meals, I had a kale salad (it was HUGE! and the super light lemon juice and olive oil dressing was amazing with the sprinkled romano cheese on top. Best kale salad I’ve ever had). I also had the chicken kebab entrée which was so simple but so full of flavor. Perfectly cooked tender chunks of all white chicken served with a scoop of moist white rice and steamed veggies. I loved EVERYTHING about this meal! My husband had the chicken kebabs with yogurt, which was the same juicy chicken but served over a tomato/​yogurt sauce and grilled bread chunks. He loved the taste of everything but would have preferred rice and veggies instead of the bread chunks, but he still wolfed everything down. As I said, the food at Pasha is 5 out of 5 and I’m already craving more!
The only reason I am giving them a 4 star rating is the service. We went on a Saturday at about 2:30pm, and the patio and interior of the restaurant was about half full. We were seated super quickly but it took our waitress 10 minutes to come and greet us, and though she was friendly she also acted super stressed. Once we ordered, our appetizers were served within 5 minutes but after nibbling on our hummus and sigara borek for about 2 minutes our entrees were served which was way too quick for my liking since we just wanted to relax. Instead, we felt a little rushed since we were trying to finish our app’s before our meals got cold in front of us. This was our only complaint though and it certainly won’t stop us from going back again (and again and again) in the future. (As a side note, we’ve also dined at Café Istanbul which is very similar. Café Istanbul had excellent service, but the food at Pasha was executed better in our opinions. Both restaurants have gorgeous interiors though!) Overall, Pasha Grill at the Greene is delicious and I can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic service and excellent food. I ordered the Shish Kabob, cooked medium. The marinade was perfect and the meat was cooked well. The Turkish WI e recommended by my waiter was very good. Overall a great dining experience.

Great people and great food. Love the atmosphere in this restaurant as well. The patio is very nice.

The complimentary bread with dip they bring out is great! The bread comes out warm and it’s so soft!
The chicken adana kabob was well spiced. It’s basically a chicken koobideh, in case you were wondering if you’d get chunks of chicken or what.
Their sautéed shrimp dish which came with shrimp with mushroom in a cream sauce was okay. For what you pay $ 18, you get less shrimp (only five), but mostly a plate of mushrooms in cream. The sauce was pretty bland so I found myself adding a ton of salt to it.
Their hummus was okay. I’ve had better and would not order this again.
I had higher expectations for this restaurant. I might come back.

This restaurant was pretty good food was delicious, service was good but I do have to say we ate as fast as we could it was so hot inside you could hardley stand to stay and finish your meal.

I’d love to say it’s as good as it gets, but that would insult the little lady’s cookin’. I’ve been eating Turkish cuisine for well over two decades now. For the Dayton area, this is a great place. The hospitality is great and the meals are very good. A little pricey, (because I’m used to living in Turkey’, but the taste takes me home.
Awesome place!

Excellent selection of authentic Turkish food and drinks. Superb service at all times as well!

Was in the Dayton area and had a taste for some Mediterranean food. When I lived in Dayton, I visited this place once a month. I forgot how good and fresh the food was. I showed up 15 minutes before they opened and they were still willing to accommodate me. Had the falafel wrap and tabouli and they were excellent!

You’ll have to forgive me for not having a command of Turkish menu terms.
Real simple…
Excellent food. Excellent Service. Excellent Food. Immaculate.
I had the rack of lamb, rice, veggies. Loved it. I forget about this place and a colleague reminded me… If I discover hotels at the Green, you’ll see more check-​ins from me soon.

Overall great experience. Our server was super friendly and she was knowledgable of the menu. We ordered a few cold appetizers and a Turkish pizza like entrée. I wish I remembered the names of everything we ordered, but the tzatziki and babaganoush were really good! I would definitely come back if in town.

My little family stopped here on Halloween night because we were tired and hungry. Cue Pasha Grill. H and I have had food similar to Turkish food, but never Turkish food itself. Why not try it out?
At first swing, the place looks nice. Too nice for new parents and a fussy 7 month old baby (angry from the Halloween/Beggar’s Night cold/​rain). Seriously. But the (honestly wicked beautiful, slender, blue-​eyed exotic) hostess was understanding and did away with our perplexed faces. She quickly seated us with enough space to maneuver our stroller and retrieved a high chair for our little one. The hostess also acted as our waitress and got us some complementary bread (which H and I have learned eases our LO) to munch on while we accessed the menu.
I ordered a plate of hummus because I knew LO would be keen on bread. It was smooth and creamy– nom. For my entrée, I ordered the meat moussaka… like always. I’m boring, I know. It was ok, if I’m being honest. I’ve had better… but could it be the Turkish way? H ordered the varied meat plate (don’t remember the name, sorry!) with lamb, beef and chicken. The meat was cooked really well and it was yummy overall.
I’m excited to come back with a group of friends and see how different the atmosphere is! I really want to try the baba ghanoush!

Yes! All around yes! If last night was not my last day in Dayton, I would be tempted to come back to Pasha tonight. It’s that good.
Let me start with the ambiance. Situated in the heart of the Greene, Pasha makes for a great place to eat after some shopping or before a round of drinks or a date night with that special someone. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor being fully covered so you don’t have to fear any sun in your eyes. The tables are fit for smaller groups (2 – 4), and the noise level is fairly quiet, at least when we went on a Thursday evening. The attire is casual but you could class up a bit and still seem in place.
The food is phenomenal. First, they bring out a basket of complimentary rolls: hot, soft and delicious. Along with that, they serve a dish of Turkish dipping oil. The combination was addicting, and I couldn’t resist but ordering a side of hummus to go with it. Needless to say, we asked for more bread. It was a love-​hate decision. The bread/​hummus/​oil combo was so good, but I made a rookie mistake. I had spent most of my appetite before my main dish arrived, which was equally as tasty. I had the Doner Kebab, a lamb/​beef platter served with rice and onions. The meat was tender and moist – seasoned to perfection. The rice was served with tzatziki sauce, making it highly flavorful also. Two thumbs up all around. Oh, and the portions are large. Between that and the bread, you definitely won’t leave hungry. Lastly, expect to pay around $ 20/​person without drinks. The menu doesn’t have many lower costing items unless you only order appetizers. Still, the price is not too bad. Pasha’s is totally worth a visit. Try it out for your next date night. It’s a lovely change-​up to all the pizzerias Dayton seems to offer.

We are DEFINITE fans of this restaurant!!! The food is great! Service is always spot on and you can’t beat their lunch specials!!!
Their menu is pretty diverse and I have tried much of it but I definitely have favorites. Their hummus is great. It is very rich and creamy. The bread that is served with it is dense but really good. I am not a huge fan of their tabouleh. Skip that one. My favorite is their doner kebab. The portion is big and everything on the plate is just delicious. The meat is cooked to perfection and the rice is always wonderful. I didn’t know I could have a romance with vegetables like I do when I am here. I don’t know what they do but they do it right. Almond pudding is a delicious way to end the meal.
Pasha is definitely my favorite restaurant at the Green and one of the best Middle Eastern places in the Dayton area!

Enjoyed a dinner with my Mother here. We were stuffed by the time we left!
We sampled a little bit of everything, it seemed — hummus, babaganoush, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, kabobs… the pita bread was warm and soft, and the Turkish wine was unexpectedly very good! Heavy garlic in most of the food, which is expected for a Turkish place, and certainly doesn’t bother this garlic-​lover!
Parking was kindof a racket, but that’s not the restaurant’s fault — it’s a product of the environment (they are located in a large outdoor shopping mall area, and it appears to be very busy at the dinner hour).

A sunny warm summer afternoon on the covered patio, warm bread with spiced oil for dipping, cold ice water, and that’s before you even order. Then you order and its amazing. I love the grilled meats. Hubby loves the more yogurt smothered dishes. You can have a less expensive lunch with a wrap or sandwich or go full out and order the lamb. Either way, you cannot go wrong!
As for my food intolerances, I emailed Pasha and they emailed me back with a wonderful personal dairy free menu. They also have a gluten free menu.

A solid 3. The food is good but not great, and I know many Mediterranean fare restaurants where I could get outstanding flavor for the same price or even less.
The best part was the grilled meats. The lofted (ground lamb/​beef patties) were less seasoned than I would have liked. But the ribeye kabob was beautifully medium and tender.
The rice was a little mushy and less flavorful, the vegetables could have been brighter in flavor with some acidity, but they were stir fried and w little greasy.
Our appetizers were fried calamari and stuffed grape leaves. The calamari were too heavily breaded and the actual squid was way over cooked and chewy. Furthermore the bread had no seasoning! Accompaniments were sugary sweet and sour sauce and tartar sauce.
The stuffed grape leaves I had never had before, but I wouldn’t have them again. Rice, again, was too mushy and seasoning was lacking.
A good thing about this place, the wine is reasonably priced, 6 – 10 a glass but most stay under 10. The ambiance is also fabulous, with great décor.

a great choice for a night-​out dinner! the service is excellent, everything I’ve had there has been excellent (the bread, DROOL!) and the service folks are great too. I also really like the atmosphere, it has a very authentic feel without being too commercial!
what is best about this place is the lunch special. it’s $ 10 and you get a side, entrée, dessert AND a big loaf of bread (it’s usually still warm!). decently sized portions too, an option for fish included! the quality is just as good as their dinner items too, I have never been disappointed! I’ve also never had to wait long for the lunch take out either. you can sit at the bar and wait for your take-​out to be ready or go walk around outside for a moment.

Food is really very good, as is the service.
Everything was good, from the gyros to the fish to the lamb.

I came here after work on a weekday with couple of co-​workers. They were not very busy at the time we arrived, so we were promptly seated and served. We each started with a glass of wine, I ordered a Turkish red wine while one of my co-​workers ordered the Turkish white, both very good.
We all ordered entrees and oh my gosh, you get so much food! You can definitely create lunch for the next day and maybe even a snack for later.
One of the girls ordered Lamb cubes the other Tilapia, both were served with rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables /​green salad. I didn’t taste theirs, but both thoroughly enjoyed their food (they have both been here before and absolutely rave about their food).
I ordered the Mousakka (minced beef and lamb layered between slices of eggplant and topped with a bechamel sauce and ‘finished with mozzarella cheese’, served with rice.
It is basically like a lasagna but they use eggplant instead of noodles. And the description of ‘finished with mozzarella’ is an understatement, it had so much yummy, delicious cheese draped over it. This dish was amazingly awesome! Again, it was a huge portion, easily could have saved some for lunch the next day, but it was soooo good, I couldn’t stop eating it. I ate every last bite right there in the restaurant. Not a bite left, but I left extremely full, thinking I could never eat another bite of food again.
If you live in Dayton and have never been here or if you find yourself in Dayton wondering where to go, I would strongly urge you to check out Pasha Grill!
