Came here with family on the recommendations of a few friends, and unfortunately found the food to be very bland and tasteless. We did not think that this food is authentic Afghan food. We have had much better elsewhere.We had the Chicken Kabobs with Rice, Lamb Gyro Platter, Sheekh Kabob Platter, and the Falafel Platter. The Lamb and Chicken were cooked well, and were obviously freshly prepared, but there were so little spices added that everything tasted bland. The Salad and the bread served with the dishes were OK. The Falafel was not even worth mentioning. It was the blandest we have ever eaten. The sauces provided just moistened the meats and the Falafel, but did not add anything to the absolutely tasteless flavor. The place is quite spacious and clean, and the decor is simple, but nice. The servers were all friendly, but the service itself was very slow. Looked like they were very under-staffed for the full Restaurant on the day that we visited.The servers were probably having an off day, but first impressions are lasting impressions. With so many good Eateries in the area, we will not be returning.

Went for lunch. We were the ONLY people in the place. The host/waiter was polite and seated us. Took our order promptly. However, he had no familiarity with the menu. Also, when I mentioned that I can't have milk, that seemed to be too much to handle. But the waiter said he would take care of it. Then the food started arriving... in this order: salad covered in a milk-based dressing, first dish, appetizer, drinks (that were ordered first - after a reminder), breads (naan, etc.), when we were almost done, and asked about it, the second dish arrived. It's a good thing we were sharing. That said, the food tasted great.

Wife and I have been driving by this place for years and always talked about stopping in. Doesnât look like much from the outside, but take the time and go in and try some delicious Turkish food served by some really nice people. Wife had the yogurt lamb dish and it was really good. I had the usual chicken Adana plate which had some delicious spices. Only mistake was not leaving enough room for desert. Next time for sure.

Authentic Mediterranean cuisine in an elegant ambiance. We also have a banquet hall for parties. We serve halal food, and have plenty of vegetarian options as well. What once started out as a casual conversation over dinner, 4 partners set out on a journe

Pasha Mediterranean Grill has to be one of the most elegant and beautifully designed, not to mention delicious, restaurants I have dined in. Upon entering, the service was impeccable with staff politely greeting, seating, and serving in a professional and timely manner. As you enjoy the complimentary appetizer, more and more of the intricate designs pop out, perfectly tying together a fancy yet comfortable environment. The food was AMAZING, from the succulent shish kabob to the seekh kabob in the mixed grill to the shawarma sandwich, all of the food was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful. The mouthwatering desserts topped off an amazing meal, along with the refreshing mint lemonade.Overall, dining at Pasha was a delightful experience from the service to the environment to the amazing food. I will be recommending this restaurant to all of my friends and family.

My husband and I finally got to have lunch yesterday at Labebe after passing it by so many times. All I can say is WOW!!!! My lamb was absolutely tender and delicious as was my husbands grilled octopus. Portions for lunch were quite large and priced very reasonably. Servers Alfonso and Andrea made our lunch that much more special. We will be back!!PS Met the owner on our way out and it is obvious after speaking with him why the restaurant is so popular. Thank you!!!!
