Pasha — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

From the moment I walked into Pasha Restaurant, I knew I was in for a special experience. The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting—warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a soothing blend of traditional and modern touches that make it feel both inviting and upscale. Whether you're on a date or enjoying dinner with friends, the ambience sets the perfect tone.

What truly elevates the experience, though, is the people. Esther, the owner, is the heart and soul of Pasha. Her presence is felt throughout the restaurant—from the meticulously curated menu to the genuinely welcoming environment. You can tell she’s passionate about every detail, and it shines through in the quality of the food and service.

And then there’s John, our waiter, who delivered impeccable service with charm and attentiveness. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we felt taken care of from start to finish without being intrusive. It’s rare to find someone who strikes that perfect balance.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavor. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite.

Pasha isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, one curated by a team that clearly loves what they do. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Esther and John, for making the evening...

Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our recent visit was so underwhelming that I feel compelled to share. From the moment we walked in, the experience went downhill fast. We had made a reservation well in advance, yet the service was disorganized and inattentive. Our waiter seemed rushed and uninterested, despite us ordering a full meal and drinks.

The food, unfortunately, was no better. The steak was absolutely horrible—overcooked, tough, and lacking any real flavor. The crispy rice with spicy tuna, which looked appealing on the menu, was a huge letdown. It was served cold and hard, and the tuna itself was a dark, unappetizing color—nothing like the vibrant, fresh presentation we were expecting.

To make matters worse, the environment was unbearably loud. We could barely hear each other across the table, making it difficult to have any kind of conversation. When we politely voiced some of our concerns, the owner’s response was dismissive and downright rude.

Overall, this place fell far short of expectations on every front—food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely not worth the hype...

I never write reviews, but this experience was so bad I had to. We came in at 10 pm, and by 11:30 we still didn’t even get our appetizers. When we asked about our food, the waiter said “one second” and then suddenly brought out our steak. Have you ever gotten your steak before appetizers? It made no sense. We didn’t touch the steak because we wanted it after the apps, so we put it aside. The waiters kept coming over at least 10 times asking if they could take it, and we kept saying no. Next thing we know, we turn around and it’s gone—they took it without permission.

Aside from the service being a disaster, the food itself was just bad. No flavor whatsoever. We ordered everything on the appetizer menu hoping at least something would be good, but every single dish was bland and tasteless.

Overall, between the terrible service and the flavorless food, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Definitely not worth the...
