Authentic Mediterranean

Allow me to transport to the completely different world, where food is mouth-watering and sumptuous, where the ambiance is romantic and the service personal. I have had the pleasure and privilege of eating at this small Turkish restaurant, tucked away in a strip mall location. The name of this restaurant is Pasha

This place is ideal for Vegetarians, Meat lovers and the vegans, which pretty much covers the entire gamut of mankind!! Seating is prompt though limited. Lunch is self-service and a wide variety of sandwiches are available. I end up drinking the Turkish tea with honey. I think I am addicted to it!

Dinner is a different fare, quite obviously. Being a vegetarian, I try the Turkish Sampler and am amazed at the differing tastes in my mouth. The sampler contains a plate full of appetizers - dolmas (Rice wrapped in grape leaves), hummus, fried zucchini patties(Yum!) , grilled vegetables and cucumber dip. Top it off with their signature desserts - Baklava or Bon bon, you would feel like the King / Queen of the World.

If your travel plans take you to Virginia Beach, be sure to stop in at Pasha in Chesapeake. This is a locally owned jewel, which is about to expand its tasty fingers to Norfolk also.
