Pasha Tulum

Just bad. We went there hoping for some nice hummus and some kind of meat dish, and ended up leaving after getting the hummus and Greek salad. They misfired on the flavours, especially the hummus - ‘weird’ is the best word to describe it. It was especially disappointing considering the high prices. To make matters worse, they have a sign that says “Free Parking”, but this is a lie - the parking costs 100 MX. If in Tulum, it is best to avoid this place.

Very disappointing experience. The service was incredibly slow, we only ordered an appetizer and a round of drinks, and still waited forever. Our server looked like she couldn’t care less, barely checked on us, and seemed totally uninterested. The worst part was at the end, she ran the card with a 20% service charge already included without even mentioning it. No explanation, nothing. For the level of service we got, that felt unacceptable. Avoid this restaurant. Definitely not coming back!

We were Turkish and the owner everyone was amazing! Food 10/10 amazing! Very friendly and welcoming! Would highly highly recommend! Go check it out!🫶🏻

Pasha was a very nice surprise as I was looking for a restaurant for my wife's birthday. The Bedouin tent vibe immediately takes you from the streets of Tulum and provides a great ambiance for an intimate dinner. On top of that the food was EXCELLENT. Best falafel I've ever had in my life. The salmon and beef were grilled to perfection. Complimentary pineapple juice, spicy green sauce, tzatziki, and pita were provided free of charge. Our server was a very friendly gentleman who was very accommodating of our basic Spanish and made sure we were taken care of. Couldn't recommend this place enough. If we ever come back to Tulum we'll be hitting them up again

Having lived in Tulum for six months, I hesitated to try this place—and for good reason. One look at the menu, the inflated prices, and what’s actually included, and it’s clear: this is a blatant ripoff, even by Tulum standards. A proper falafel plate comes with hummus, salad, and pita. Here? Everything is sold separately, each priced like a full meal. I ordered hummus with eggplant, but the waiter brought hummus with red pepper instead—then casually mentioned the menu had changed. Worse, when I asked if the falafel came with hummus, he said yes, but still tried to serve me an extra order. On the menu it says falafel is 240, they charge you 290. And for what? The food was forgettable.

Amazing people with amazing food. You will love it don’t second guess. I travelled from Canada just for this place and I will keep coming back !!

Wonderful restuarant with delicious food. Every single item we ordered tasted fresh and presented well. The customer service was top notch and the servers made sure we were happy with all the food/drinks etc. The decor of this restaurant is modern with a touch of middle Eastern culture. We ended up ordereding the 8 Mesa along with beef and chicken kababs plates and baclava to end off with a sweet. I definately recommend this restuarant to anyone in the mood for middle Eastern food while in Tulum.

We ate at Pasha as it was across the street from our hotel. Service was good. Food we had was average. We had the hummus with roasted peppers and also the grilled shrimp. Both meals were okay but lacked flavour. The atmosphere was okay. They played Turkish music and had the tables set with small Turkish rugs and lanterns. Nothing to write home about but if your looking to change up cuisine options from tacos etc it’s an okay choice.

Really excellent food, and calm beautiful ambiance. We ordered the hummus dip, the salmon platter and the chicken kabob. All of these dishes were so good! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the couscous was buttery delicious. The chicken was so tender it was almost like fish. I would have loved a glass of wine but they only served bottles, so we stuck with water. There are a few limited cocktails, but when the food is this good, it didn't hurt to save the space for all of the delicious food.

I had been eyeing this place before I even arrived at tulum! I'm middle eastern myself and have been to different cities in turkey so I was excited to try this place which happened to be across my Airbnb. On our last night, we came here for dinner around 8:45 pm and ordered within a few minutes. Food We ordered shish kabob & Greek salad. The shish kabob was cold & that's not what we consider shish kabob in Turkey or even in Los Angeles. Service 3/5 our food took our 40 minutes even though only 3 tables were filled. That's a very long time for one main dish. There was one lady helping everyone and doing everything. She often disappeared and it was hard to find her. When we told her the food was cold, she said I wish you had told me 10 minutes ago because now you're done with the food even though I had been trying to call her over for a long time. Price 4/5 Prices are high here. The shish kabob dish was about $450 pesos which is about $26 USD and the same price you'd be paying in the states. Ambiance 4/5 They were playing middle eastern music but the place is extremely dark. It's probably best for some tea & dessert or small appetizers. Overall 3/5 Very disappointed and would not come back.

This is my favorite (non-Mexican) restaurant in Tulum town! I love Turkish food, and it's sometimes hard to find a place that prepares good Turkish food that isn't a food truck or fast food; this place nailed it! It's an excellent place to go with friends and order their mezze platter! This time it was only my partner and me, and we ordered a mezze 8 + shrimp sish, the perfect amount of food (maybe a little too much); everything was super fresh and delicious. The service is excellent, helpful, and super accommodating. The place at night has a lovely vibe; the lighting makes it super romantic. I cant wait to return! Highly recommended.

The food, service, ambience was all perfect 10/10! The indoor lighting was mellow and pleasing. We had the falafel appetizer, chicken kebabs and vegetarian musakka all of which were perfectly cooked and served. The cocktails were delicious and different! Deductively recommend this place on your visit to Tulum, especially if you are craving for some Mediterranean delicacies.

The warm, inviting decor, relaxing Middle Eastern/Turkish music and delicious food come together to make this one of the best meals in downtown Tulum! We ordered the vegan mezze and chicken shish kabob to share and everything tasted wonderful. The beets, hummus and tabbouleh salad were my favorite parts of the mezze. The eggplant and olives were also a nice touch. And the chicken was so moist and juicy! They have large fans blowing around so no mosquitoes as well. Enjoy!

Probably the most fantastic meal I had in Tulum. I saw Pasha in the car coming while driving into Tulum, and loved the exterior. great service, food and ambience. The music was fantastic, only thing I would have to say is that it was a bit dark in here, they really could have used a little more lighting. I ordered the salmon entree which came with a side salad, the shrimp skewers, the sweet potato ravioli, the tabule salad was to die for. Not a single thing we ordered was disappointing, everything was really top tier. The pita bread was nice and fresh and fluffy, the sauces they gave us and the hummus was absolutely delicious. would LOVE to come back to eat here next time I am in Tulum.

My husband and I ordered dinner to go from Pasha. Upon entering, I had such a calming feeling due to the amazing decor and relaxing ambiance. I ordered a greek salad with shrimp and a falafel appetizer. For my husband, a greek salad and the parsley pasta. We were a tad disappointed to find that the greek salad was prepared a little differently than what we're used to, but it was still pretty good, I thought. Their version is more of a tomato and cucumber salad which might be how it's prepared elsewhere, but we're used to a bed of lettuce. Everything else was quite enjoyable! I especially enjoyed the falafel appetizer with hummus.

very authentic vibe. the food was not great but very good. the service is slow but in their defense all service is slow in tulum.

This restaurant calls themselves 'Turkish' food. In reality it's more Mediterranean style bites. It's OK, not something I would particularly repeat or go to again. They have a good meze platter, good ambiance and great place to go with groups. Food is just OK.

While in Tulum, be sure to enjoy a meal at Pasha! The atmosphere is romantic and quaint. The decor is well done. The service is 10/10. They are kind, attentive and engaging. It is clearly a family run business and they are overjoyed to host you! And they will call you family all of dinner!! The hospitality here and in Tulum is heart warming. And the food is INCREDIBLE. Large portions, unique and tasty flavors. The eggplant humus was to die for and the lamb kabob was fall-off-the-bone delicious. Would definitely come back.

The most incredible atmosphere in a restaurant. Very unique place. Ambience and decor were impeccable. The food lived up as well and was amazing! The shrimp kabob and 8 Mesa platter were definitely the highlight. I would probably pass on the durum next time. Homemade kombucha and pineapple lemonade were great and we loved the presentation.

One of the most charming restaurants we visited in Tulum. The Turkish decor with Persian rug-topped benches, lanterns, gravel floor, and decorative sheets hanging from the ceiling feels a world away from Mexico. It was relaxed and serene inside, and the food we had was great. We started with a tabbouleh salad, which was fresh, crunchy, and tangy. They seemed to have used romaine lettuce instead of parsley like traditional tabbouleh but it was good enough that neither of us minded. My boyfriend got a cup of Turkish coffee that came in a tiny, decorative mug -- it was strong, but good. I got mint tea which came in a cute little teapot. I appreciated that it didn't come with sugar in it, I've had way too many cloyingly sweet cups of mint tea. For mains, I got the vegetarian moussaka, which was our favorite of the two entrees: potatoes, sautéed peppers/onions/eggplant, and a béchamel sauce. It was rich (but not too much), warmly spiced, and perfectly cooked. My boyfriend got the lamb. The meat itself was tender and savory, but it was pretty fatty -- that might just be what you get with lamb, though. The carrots that came with it were also incredible, they soaked up all of the juices while cooking. We were too full for dessert, but if we hadn't been, I would've loved to try their baklava. Toward the end of our meal, one of the waiters came out with a big pot of incense that filled the room with smoke which irritated my eyes/nose/throat a little bit. We could've done without that, but it cleared out soon enough. Overall, 100% worth visiting, especially if you get a little tired of Mexican food for every meal. It was super tasty and a lovely romantic atmosphere. We'd come here again if we had more time.

My family of 13 came during opening time and it was heaven from there. Everything about this restaurant was exceptional: the service, the wonderful family, the food, the ambiance and even Maca, their cute dog. We ordered almost every vegetarian option and everyone was SO GOOD. We started to order extra things throughout the meal! The one meat item we got was the chicken shish kebab and we wish we had more! The food was so authentic and you can tell they care about what ingredients they use. Everyone was so fresh and there was not one thing we didn't like. We're all still dreaming about it! We loved how the restaurant is a local family owned business and everyone is involved. Special shout out to their young son for being so professional and translating some Spanish for us - you have a bright future ahead of you!! Hands down one of the best meals we've had here Tulum and we're already planning our visit back!!

We decided to come to Pasha for our last dinner in Tulum and we are so glad we did. Like most places in Tulum, Pasha is cozy and has indoor and outdoor seating options. With either one you'll still have the intimate feel. It's fresher to sit in the open air portion of the restaurant to catch a breeze. Now on to the main event...the food was AMAZING! We started with the 8 traditional meze. Huge enough to share with more than just two people. We almost became full just from this. For our main course we got the lamb kebab and grilled shrimp platters. Each came with a salad and couscous. I've never had a lamb so tender!! Even the couscous just melts in your mouth. The flavors we so so good. Hands down our best meal in Tulum and we had some pretty great meals during our stay. Will definitely be back when we return.

I love this spot the vegan mezze is amazing, and with a little communicating you can customize it to be gluten free too! Plus the mint tea is everything! My favorite spot to eat in Tulum.

This spot was such a vibe. Absolutely delicious food great ambiance and service loved the homemade kombucha and the sampler pictures

If you're craving middle eastern food such as Greek, Cypriot, Lebanese, etc., in a romantic setting then come to Pasha. The moment you walk through the front entrance, you are transported to the Middle East: Bedouin style with gravel under feet in lieu of sand. You dine under a canopy of beautiful cascading drapes and hanging lights which sets a very romantic ambiance. The food is very good, I recommend ordering the kibbe (fried meat croquette) appetizer $150 and ask for some hot sauces. They come in adorable vintage-like glass bottles as does the olive oil. The green cilantro hot sauce is Delicious. I hope you're lucky enough to get Gaston as your server. He wasn't even our server but ended up assisting us more than our own server. He was so lovely and often checked in on us which we really appreciated. Gaston went above and beyond, even making us the mint lemonade frappe $55 that is only served during the daytime. He was an absolute delight!

The food was very good. Fresh and tasty. Cool vibe inside. Friendly service. I would go again.

First dinner In Tulum. We had a reservation but came an hour early but they fit us in. Super friendly service. The lamb platter was amazing. Hummus also amazing. Shrimp platter was also super and fresh. Highly recommend. Run by a family. Will return!!!

We stopped here for dinner while staying in Tulum. Excellent service, we were seated right away and really enjoyed the ambiance which is very authentic. The hummus with sweet peppers was a great appetizer and had the steak kabobs were excellent. Great place for dinner with fantastic ambiance.

Beautiful interior and tasteful design create an enjoyable experience and the service is an even bigger contribution. The wait staff is efficient and friendly and the menu will bring you back...too much to try on one occasion. Try the eztanbul cocktail, its refreshing and my favorite. Not open on Saturdays-heads up

Amazing service, atmosphere, and food. Would recommend the keftiko kebab - some of the most tender lamb I've had.

We had a lovely lunch for six us of and our two small dogs at the newly expanded space in the restaurant. The service was excellent and attentive and the food was spectacular. It really felt homey and a real family affair and even the young son took our orders! We will definitely be back and appreciated the change in food from the typical fare. Ample parking around the restaurant as well. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend this place enough. If you love Mediterranean food, look no further and eat here! Pasha blew my mind from all the different unique flavors. I got the chicken Shish Kebab & Greek salad. The chicken was tender and cooked to perfection with delicious sauces. The Greek salad was by far the best Greek salad I have ever had. Their bread was also insanely good. They did a great job with presentation and the restaurant has the perfect Tulum vibe. I am a foodie visiting from LA and this is some of the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. I can't wait to try more items on their menu.

Literally the best falafel I have ever eaten! It's super GREEN filled with lots of fresh herbs.

Such a nice place! Since I don't get a lot of my cultural food back in the US this is close to home with the food! Kibbeh is great its great and hummus dip was also great! I enjoyed everything especially the Mediterranean vibe inside.

Delightful friendly service with really good food and drinks. Watch the live show, then they come around asking for tips. Drinks where strong and on the pricey her side but well worth it. I will definitely come back one in Mexico.

Good food, great service! tzatziki and hummus were on point. The falafel was okay, not as moist as I would have liked it to be. But I also do know that falafel is not a Turkish dish, so that might also be the reason. Overall, I would recommend it and end your meal with Turkish coffee:).

This was a absolutely beautiful dining experience that you wouldn't expect to have in Tulum. Oh, and the food was tasty to go along with the grass ambience if the restaurant. If you are in Tulum, don't miss out on this dining experience.

Absolutely delicious and a nice change from the local fare. Even my picky 12 year old cleaned up the remains of our dinner. The pita bread was warm, soft and yummy. Good tzaziki sauce, tender kebabs, nice atmosphere. Don't miss this place if you need a change.

My husband and I had a fabulous lunch today at Pasha. The decor is lovely and comfortable. We were greeted warmly by Gaston, our kind and attentive waiter, and then again by Tania Herrera, the owner. The food is a wonderful blend of Turkish and Greek cuisine with touches of Mexican flavors as well. Love and pride is evident in every bite. We will most certainly return and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

This was a nice cozy spot with decent size portions. The appetizer meze was so big. Loved the ambiance in between the Tulum city. The waiter mentioned they had 3 halal options but unfortunately not when I was there. I tried the shrimp skewers and they were delicious. Def would go again.

Great Middle-Eastern cuisine and ambience. Attentive service. Lots of vegetarian options, also lamb and other meat options. Nice, filling mezze. Mmmmm.

Amazing authentic and so comforting! Mezze platter 13 different dishes. Blows away Taboo in so many ways, completely unpretentious, feels like a trip to turkey.

Came here for dinner and tried the 13 mezze plater, the ravioli, the falafel balls and the mint lemonade. Everything was excellent. I wasn't expecting much and this was actually our backup dinner option but it exceeded my expectations. I'm only in Tulum for a week but I'm definitely going to eat here again before we head back to nyc.

I ordered falafel and it was without a doubt one of the worst I can ever recall haven eaten. It was so rock hard on the outside and the inside was tasteless. I'm not sure what combination of beans were used here; however, it shouldn't be sold to the public.

I was very excited to try this place. The decor is very pretty and I wanted to eat something different while on our trip in Mexico. After reading reviews, we decided to give Pasha a try. Service was okay, but unfortunately quite slow. We waited 45 minutes between our appetizers and our main (I know this because I have been documenting our meals in Mexico and took a photo once the appetizer hit the table). During this there was a period where we felt like the server forgot about us, and where maybe our food wasn't coming. The vibe of the evening wasn't welcoming and compared to our last two weeks in Mexico, this was probably the most lack lustre in terms of service and treatment. When our food did come, one of the items was missing, but another server did come to correct it. The food was quite good, however was a bit expensive for what you get. Unfortunately we were disappointed at the end of the night, especially with how the night ended. We asked for the bill, and were asked if we could pay in American dollars, which we were told was fine. When we got the bill, we were told the exchange was 17. The receipt also included a recommend 15% tip, which is fine. It also included another piece of paper encouraging a tip, which we felt was off putting. When we received the bill, we decided as a group we would tip 10%, since we the food was acceptable but the service was subpar. A woman who I am assuming was the owner hovered over us while we were getting out our money and told us the bill was $xx. When we explained we would figure out the bill with 17 as the exchange, she was very pushy, demanding the 15% tip be included as that is standard in Mexico for outstanding service, however I would absolutely not describe our service as outstanding. She was absolutely insistent we were doing the math wrong (even though two of us had input the amounts into our calculators multiple times). Instead of asking how the experience could have been improved upon, she stood over us, demanding x number of dollars, making us feel stupid, as though we couldn't figure out how to pay the bill. We were going to leave the original 15%, but then almost left 0% because of how poorly the night ended, but left 10% because we didn't want to put our server out. It felt extremely uncomfortable to say the least. It didn't feel like she appreciated our business, but instead felt like she just wanted our money. It left such a sour taste in our mouths, and because of how we were treated at the end of the dinner, I would not recommend this place. I have travelled quite extensively in manly parts of the world, and I don't believe I have ever had an experience with quite the amount of pushiness by an owner for a tip. Because of how pushy the owner was at the end, I wonder where the tips are going as during the payment portion of the evening, our server was not around. I am writing this review as someone who has worked in service and hospitality in restaurants for almost 15 years, working where tip culture is the norm as well and where we receive a lot of tourists also. At the end of the day, it is the guests choice in regards to how much to tip. I have the utmost respect for people in the service industry, and I am in it myself, however this is not how you should behave and treat your guests. I don't expect a great response, as the responses from the owner seem defensive, however I wanted to leave my experience. I do hope the owner understands or whomever the woman was begins to treat guests with genuine respect and hospitality. Update: Owner responded to my Google review, saying maybe we came over Christmas, when it was very busy. No, it was not busy when we went. Please take accountability for your service mishaps.
