Pasha's - Helsinki

Delicious food! buffet is a good collection of different flavors of meat and vegetables. I highly recommend it!

When they are from southern Europe, they will love it. Turkish-Greek taste. highly recommended

10,30 euro for lunch buffet. Turkish food, many vegetarian options (just two dishes with meat). THE GOOD Falafel Filled zucchini Turkish filled bread There is also a large variety of salads and two fruits THE BAD No normal bread The fried potatoes are not too crunchy THE BOTTOM LINE Nice place to have a lunch, the menu fits both vegetarians, vegan and non.

In the early evening (until 19:00) the 10e buffet is of great quality for the price! Lots of different mid-eastern-style dishes, most of them also vegetarian.

Pasha's restaurant, on Friday night around 7 pm, was relatively quiet. My colleague and I day sat at a table in the front room, and there was a couple in the back room. My colleague is a vegetarian, and I was looking for a relaxed place where we could have a listening meal and talk. The furnishings on this venue are basic. A dinner buffet at 10€ is a little more than ordering off the menu, and not much beyond coffee and pastry at a fancier place. We started with a lentil soup, which was unusually spiced not spicy hot, but with lots of flavours that I couldn't place. From the hot table, I tried the falafel, little ground meat patties, sliced meat and rice. From the cold table, I took some hummus, tabbouleh and salad. There were a lot more choices, but I decided to eat lightly that evening. I would have been welcomed to go back for seconds, if I wanted. We were given a pitcher of water, as we declined on sodas. There's only one lavatory in the place, so we both couldn't wash or hands simultaneously. The washroom is quite large, so it feels like a handicapped person would have enough room to be helped. Pasha's is a short walk from Forum and Kamppi, where there is no lack of alternatives. As a relaxed venue for a meeting for people on a budget, we weren't rushed, and had a good conversation. While this all day price is competitive with many other places at lunchtime, it's a bargain in the evening when the other prices go up. My colleague said that the location is a little farther away the core bar scene, which could explain the lower popularity at night.
