Amazing food, great service. Been here a few times, always go back! The shared dip platter is my fave. Lots of different flavors to try. Almost takes you right back to Istanbul 🇹🇷
Absolute stunner of a meal. I was scrolling through my phone and remember having this last year. It was one of my first Turkish meals I’ve had- authentic, generous portion and well seasoned. Would love to visit this place again 🥰
One of my favourite restaurants. The food is sooooooo good. My favourites include the iskender, sigara borek, trio of dips and manti. I also love the ambience- it really feels like you are in Turkey
Love the food. Haven't been disappointed yet. Good service, authentic tastes, good servings. They have achieved the ambience and the decor lends itself to being in character with Turkey
Pashas is by far one of the best joints in all of Sydney. Their mouth watering meze platter with a variety of options always leaves me craving for more. In addition to their diversity of meat and vegan options, Pashas has also gluten free options. Love coming here!
Been here twice now. Food is excellent; staff are friendly and accommodating; the seating and vibe is homely and intimate. Very suitable for a date or with family.
Order anything on the menu! Would come back even if it was just for takeaway.

Authentic Turkish Cuisine
I visited this restaurant after recommendation from my sister in law who loved the meals. It is located at the end of Newtown (if you coming from the City CBD) in a small restaurant. Though I have never visited Turkey, when I stepped in this restaurant, I felt like I was in Turkey. The Atmosphere is perfect with low Turkish music playing in the background.
Service – Perfect. I couldn’t fault the service. On the Thursday night that we visited, there was one male waiter working. He was very nice and very helpful. It was awesome that he had a accent because it just made the experience more authentic.
Food – Delicious. I’ve previously had Middle Eastern cuisine; however this was different from others. There was so much herbs and flavour in the meat, it was perfect. The lamb was not too hard, or too chewy or too dry, it was just perfect. The rice and yoghurt (depending on what dish you get) complemented it very well.
We had this entrée which I cannot recall the exact name however I know it was Burek. Man oh Man, what an entrée. It was very nice and very light.
Value – Being in Newtown and near the Sydney CBD, I think for the location the prices are fair. Having said this, for the taste of the food, I think the price is fair.
Atmosphere – From the moment you step in, it’s like you are visiting Istanbul. The lighting fixtures stand out the most and with the traditional tea pot all around, makes the atmosphere all the more worthwhile. The restaurant was quite the date we visited it, however I would like to go again on a Saturday night because I can only imagine the atmosphere being lively.
Romance – if you sit on the cushions, I think it may be a little romantic, however it all depends on the taste of the couple… personally I would not take my partner here for a romantic dinner to celebrate e.g. an anniversary. However would come back here any day if it was a casual dinner or lunch.
What I love about this place is how lively it is. Belly dancers, friendly staff, beautiful interior decor and exquisite food, Pasha’s really delivers the best Turkish food in Newtown. Established since 1975, Pasha’s has an enormous selection of food and mains that will keep you coming for more. It is truly an unforgettable dining experience!
Loved the authenticity of this place. The drinks & the food & the music, all of it was lovely. Felt like I was back in my trip to turkey.
The service was exquisite. I tried the Turkish kenafeh for the first time and it was quite a different experience compared to the Lebanese one.
We've been seeing this restaurant on our journeys to and from Newtown's other restaurants and decided to try it out on a pleasant Friday night. The seating was split between tables and chairs, as well as a more traditional turkish seating (ottomans type sofas and a low table) Rather than ordering entrees, we ordered a Imam Bayidli, while I downed a Ayran, also known as Doogh, a concoction of yoghurt, water and salt. The Imam Bayidli was simply stupendous in its taste, with my wife and I fighting over sharing the side serving of Almond Rice. However, having tasted Doogh at Shiraz Authentic Persian Restaurant in the Gold Coast, I must admit the Pasha's Ayran was strictly OK. The night was topped off with a belly dancer performance in the restaurant. All in all, a treat for the senses!
