Pasha Mediterranean Grill

Since its lent, it’s hard to find good restaurants with vegetarian options. I ordered a falafel wrap with a side of Greek salad and my friend ordered the triple meal shawarma plate (not vegetarian obviously).
I love how they have a huge pita bread waiting on the table to eat with olive oil before our food comes out. The wrap was a good portion for dinner and served on a huge plate with salad. The sauce put in the wrap made the falafel seem not as dry as they usually are so it was really good. The shawarma plate looked delicious and my friend really enjoyed it bc of the large serving. It came with a separate plate of hummus, I had to ask for extra chips to eat it with but it was delicious.
The place is very clean and big and looks fancy with their huge chandelier. If you look in the kitchen you can see the rotisserie where the meat is rotating.

My wife and I were seated right away on a Saturday around 530 on valentines weekend (noting valentine’s day was the next day). So I was skeptical at first. As soon as we sat down a massive, hot-​off-​the-​grill flat-​bread was put in front of us with some oil and seasoning dipping plate. I must say, I was impressed. Fresh, crispy, warm, and tasty. I ordered the lamb, rice, and veggies. AWESOME! Seasoned wonderfully and cooked perfectly (I ordered medium but it was med, well – but I think they got it right). My wife got the Chicken Shwarma. The chicken was rather dry and the hummus was bland. She had filled up on the awesome flat-​bread and if you dipped the chicken in the oil, it was pretty good because the chicken was seasoned nicely. All-​in-​all we enjoyed our meal and we would go again.

I love Pasha food. Emom the manager and Magan the sever do a great job .Had the beef tips with salad. Such humas was wonderful. Newest of the Pasha. Chain. Now the best.

I love this location! I have gone three times now and they have always provided excellent service. My favorite dish is the beef shawarma plate and their basmati rice is delicious. I have never had a complaint here and will keep coming back.

Great flavors are found here. We had the gyro meat lunch platter and chicken lunch platter. It was served with a large fresh Greek salad and fresh hummus. The meats were incredible. The meal was started with a free huge pita served with rich olive oil and herbs.

very good smooth hummus. Had the garlic hummus and it was awesome. Wonderful bread. They were busy on the friday night we went and the service was slow. But overall they were nice. I would go back there for the hummus.

We’ve been to this place multiple times and love it. If you’re in a party of 4 or more you should get the family style meals. Basically, all you can eat at your table! Sometimes the staff is a hit and miss but overall the food is delish!

Tried Pasha after a recommendation from a Co worker. Not a bad choice for the San Antonio area. Fairly authentic and good choices. Will have to try again for a solid decision.

The complimentary naan is delicious!!! I’d go back just to eat bread lol. Pretty much everyone at the table had the gyros plate and the gyro meat is really good. I wasn’t as excited with the beef and chicken that came in my combo as I was about the naan, hummus and gyros. Service was good and the atmosphere was really nice. After reading reviews I’m sad I didn’t try the lentil soup. Maybe if I’m ever in San Antonio again I will try as I’d be happy to come back.

The food is absolutely disgusting, tasteless, poorly executed, lacking grace and flavor. Complete disappointment. Don’t order anything, you will be disappointed. THE only positive thing about this place is how attentive their staff is. Save your money and stay home if you want to come here.

Very good service friendly and makes the experience even better.
Food tasted really great. It is a must of you in the area.
Wish I had one at home.

The lentil soup is to die for; sometimes I only visit for the soup. The service is great as in my cup is always half full. We usually stop by during luncheon lunch specials. The thing I like most is that the price is comparable to the chain Mediterranean restaurants, but the food is way better.

Bad experience tonight. Shrimp were tasteless and barely warm. Told waitress, she said sorry and asked if we wanted anything else. Horrid service.
Manager comped meal, offered us several things. He made good on their bad food tonight so I raised the star level.

Some of the best Mediterranean I’ve had in Texas! I love how they give you unlimited free pitas. It also comes with an olive oil, zatár dipping sauce that is amazing. My favorite dish is the feta dip from the appetizer menu. It is super fresh feta cheese and tomatoes, and pairs great with the pitas. Also, the Greek salad is massive!

So far so good. I ordered a gyro bowl. It is not as tasty as it sounded. I think I would do better with just a gyro wrap/​sandwich.
The bowl is huge and comes with rice and a yogurt salad dressing. I forgot the name of that dressing, but I have had it before at other Mediterranean places. It’s not my favorite, but that could also just be a personal preference.
The ambiance and decorations were beautiful and relaxing. I would come back for the ambiance and to try other dishes.

The Lamb Shank stew was okay nothing to write mama about. The stew was bland and didn’t taste it fresh the rice was okay, but their flat bread was amazing. They gave us a little dessert sample that was made with coconut, honey and pecans it was pretty good. The service was great.

Step 1: get some drinks from Specs. Step 2: take the back road past Hoolihans Step 3: enjoy the BYOB and food! Awesome food and a great selection! They open the wine bottles and provide glasses. WATCH OUT FOR THAT $ 4 alcohol fee!

Had a craving for curry this afternoon and stumbled up on this Mediterranean place. They didn’t have curry, but what they did have was booming with flavor!
To start they bring you a HUGE portion of nann with olive oil and spices. So good!
Service was great. Waitress was knowledgable about the menu and was around when we needed her and left us to eat when we wanted to eat. Prices are also solid for amount of food you get.
We finished up with the pasha bowl, which was excellent. It’s a mix of basmati rice, cucumber, onions, spices and chicken or beef and taziki. Never had a bowl like this before and this it def won’t be the last time. Tasted super fresh and had severa layers of flavors. Great lunch option.
The regular menu also looked amazing! From quail to racks of lamb to goat. If you want Mediterranean food, this place is a great start!
Will be back soon!

I’d like to preface this by saying that I am a big fan of Pasha. I have been to their other locations countless times. I am ½ Iranian and grew up eating Persian food. I say that not to indicate that I’m an expert. In fact, my Persian papa only knew the basics, and we would more often than not go out to eat whenever we wanted to eat Iranian food. I have eaten at countless Persian/​Mediterranean establishments, and Pasha was by far my favorite in this area. But I will NEVER be returning to this location. In fact, I may stop patronizing the others as well. Let me explain why.
My friend & I came to have dinner here on a Monday night. We were seated immediately in the well-​decorated dining area. There were only a few more tables, but there seemed to be lots of staff on hand. As soon as we sat down, we ordered hot tea, which promptly arrived in a nice tea set, including the customary clear glass cups. Since it was my friend’s first time eating Persian food, I was waxing poetic about the importance of tea in our culture as I poured him a cup. Much to my horror, tea began leaking from the bottom of the spout and there were tea leaves in the tea.
Let me make this very clear: I’m not talking about a handful of leaves that is sometimes left in the bottom of the pot. There was so much loose-​leaf tea swirling around in the cup that it was undrinkable.
I brought this to our server’s attention, and she looked at me bewildered, «It’s loose tea, that’s how it’s served.» She was nice enough about it but offered no actual help. I opened up the tea pot and saw that there was no strainer piece. I figured that perhaps this piece had become dislodged, leading to both the leak and the leaves. I approached a manager at the edge of the dining room and told him that our tea was undrinkable. He came to the table, looked at our cups, (which were half full of just leaves), and told me bluntly, «That’s how the tea is served.» He wasn’t outright rude about it but he was slightly condescending, suggesting that perhaps instead we would like some tea bags or some iced tea. He kept insisting that the tea was normal and it was me who had the problem. I was so frustrated that I couldn’t even speak.
After ordering our dinner, the food arrived promptly. My friend had chicken kabobs and I had koobideh, an old standard that I was sure even these people couldn’t ruin. While my food was edible I must say that the portions were smaller than I have ever received at the other locations. My friend’s chicken was borderline undercooked in the middle, but we were so dubious from our previous attempts to get help that we didn’t even bother mention it. Also, the veggie kabobs on the side didn’t include any tomato, a staple, and also included large, inedible sections of onion with the skin left on.
When the waitress brought out our food, I asked her for some sumac. Just like before, I was given a ‘What the hell?’ look. «You know, the red spice?» I explained. «Oh, you mean chili?» she suggested. Again, I was unable to respond because I was so surprised that she had no clue what I was asking for. A moment later, our server brought out red chili paste. I thanked her.
I was so embarrassed that this was my friend’s first exposure to Persian food. I apologized profusely. Not only did we have a poor experience, but not a single staff member had anything to say to us about it, including management. Shame on you, Pasha! I will NOT be returning.

First visit at this location. I ordered the lamb kabobs, my husband ordered the gyro kabobs, and my kids shared the gyro plate. Everything was delicious. The dill rice was very tasty. The bread my kids ate one each. We ate everything on our plates. It was so good. We usually go to the Wurbach location but I’m so glad they open one on our side of town.
1 star for food

Half star on service. I know it just open and the staff is just trying to get a routine.
Didn’t visit bathroom so I couldn’t rate that.
I will update when I have visited the bathrooms.
