Heritage and Media
Pasha prides itself on being Britain's first ever Turkish restaurant. We began life as one of the nation's earliest kebab houses, boasting busy trade on Upper Street in the late 1960s.
Founded by the family of current owners, the International Cafe offered diners a rare glimpse of Mediterranean grilled meats alongside mezes. The dishes were such a hit, we turned our focus to what we do best – Turkish cuisine. And since that day we've never looked back.
We have had a string of reviews in national newspapers and magazines, as well as culinary guides. Famously in 2000, Pasha came runner up in the London Tonight/Evening Standard restaurant awards for most popular viewer's eatery. Judges praised our stimulating culinary creations and atmospheric décor, which secured Pasha's place as one of the capital's most inspiring eateries.
