"This family-owned, traditional Turkish restaurant has been a go-to spot for Houstonians for more than two decades. Sample Pasha’s kebabs with the mixed grill platter of doner, Adana, and shish kebabs before diving into its hearty guvec meat stew baked in a clay pot. Pro tip: Pair your meal with a glass of Ayran, a homemade fizzy yogurt drink." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

"Housed in a charming, storied home, this Turkish restaurant has been a reliable go-to in Rice Village for nearly two decades. Its menu of Turkish pizzas features varieties like döner pide topped with ground lamb and Turkish beef sausage, all of which pair well with Turkish sodas or Turkish coffees when in need of a pick-me-up. Visit during lunch for its $17 two-course meal, comprised of starters like baba ganoush and eggplant salad, and mains like glistening kebabs and falafel." - Brittany Britto Garley

The food is delicious and authentic! A husband and wife runs the operations and they are very friendly. Space can be limited on busy day, they accommodated our large group easily. We got the mixed grill platters and a bunch of smaller dishes including the meat stew in a clay pot. Every item we ordered was delicious! Highly recommend this place!

Food was very authentic and delicious!! We went as a group and ordered a variety of dishes and everyone left happy and full! If you have never been you should stop by and try some of the specialty dishes. Oh and definitely stick around for Turkish Coffee and Kunafe

We were a group of 6 went there for lunch. We had a Mezze platter which was delicious. We had a basket if bread and olive oil, the herbs in the olive oil were the best thing. For our main courses we had doner kebon, yogurt Kevin (lamb), mixed grill (chicken and lamb), Sheppard salad, and Eskandar kabob. We also ordered kunafa and turkish coffee which were delightful. All our food were delicious. The only issue we had with our foods were the Eskandar and yogurt kabobs which had a lot of bread chuncks in them. Other than that everything was perfect.

We were newish to Turkish food, but this place was great. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. I really liked the yogurt kebab. The kenafa was delicious and I would come back just for that. Friendly family run business.

Our first time here and it was a great experience. The service, presumably by the owner, was above expectations. The food was delicious, the bread and Zaatar one of the stars of the show. The cold mezza platter was very good and the other star of the show was the kunefe, it was so good!!!

Great restaurant! For about $34/person (6 people), we got several appetizers/dishes and deserts. The bread/baba ganouj (egg plant hummus) was a great starter. Bread was soft and the spread was creamy and fresh. I ordered the Turkish ravioli. The sauces were paired well with the dish. Some of the pieces had delicious bites of lamb. I felt it was a bit on the doughier side though and didn't have as much lamb. Some of the ravioli was actually just dough. Kunafa (sweet cheese desert) was really delicious. It was a nice disk of cheese with a crispy shell and sweet honey. Restaurant was clean and spacious. Customer service was great. Waiters were very attentive.

Excellent dine-in and catering experience. The food is fantastic and the owner and the rest of the team go above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. In addition to my wonderful meal in the restaurant, working with Mustafa on a large catering order for a work event was a pleasure. He gladly accommodated our special delivery requests and ensured the food was fresh and warm when he dropped it off (right on time).

We were excited to find this cute little spot as we drove through the streets of Houston. We got there just before the place was closing and had five minutes to place our order. The server was nice and we were quick. Appreciated the bread and oil, as well as the Turkish tea which was my favourite. We got the mixed platter for two and honestly was not impressed by it. It was dry and the rice seemed the easy cook rice. We had been driving all day so we were definitely hungry!! But the meats could have been more flavoured and accompanied with some sort of sauce or something so that it was not so dry overall. I would be willing to give this another shot and not come so close to when they are closing for an authentic experience.
