This restaurant is absolutely stunning, the decor is beautiful, it is so romantic, there were rose petals scattered everywhere, there are lanterns on the staircase and it is candle lit. There are small little cave like seating areas, and the decor is rich in deep reds, purples and gold.
Most bathrooms in restaurants never get much attention, but the bathroom in this restaurant is the nicest I have ever seen, it was candle lit with flowers everywhere and smelt beautiful.
The food was very good, I got so mesmerised by how beautiful the inside was that it didn't feel like I was in London, I felt transported to another country. There was a belly-dancer who was such a lovely lady and spoke to us a few times and got some of my friends to dance. They have some wonderful cocktails and the service is very good.
Downside: you can no longer smoke Shisha there, that really is the only negative side to the restaurant.

Pasha possibly has the most extravagantly decked out bathroom I've seen in the last few years. Brilliant orange flowers floating in hammered metal bowls, a shiny silver urinal trough, decorative glass beads in the sink, utter opulence. And that's just in the bathrooms! The rest of the space is equally decadent, with cushions and pillows adorning the many benches, subtly glowing chandeliers, and plenty of elaborate wood carvings.
Service mirrors the decor in this den of dining. As do the starter Mediterranean small dishes on the set menus, which is apparently mandatory for parties of six or greater. Cumin potatoes, hummus, and courgettes with yogurt all came out deliciously filling.
They might as well have ended the "feast" there - our grilled meat entree was edible, at best. Though the presentation of cubed meat on heavy skewers was impressive, it was obvious without even picking up a utensil that virtually every last bit of moisture had been grilled the heck out of everything. What a stark departure from the dizzying heights of greatness offered up by our first course!
After that kind of sobering disappointment, even the deliciousness of refreshing mint tea, sweet treats, and savory nuts for dessert couldn't help recover the experience.
Beautiful joint for some appetizers and drinks (hellooooo Ardbeg neat!). If you're going for dinner with a group, I'd strongly advise steering clear of the grill feast, unless you're a fan of gnawing on savory leather.

I want to review Pasha twice, but because I'm lazy, I'm only doing it once and splitting the difference. So the following are the two reviews I would write mixed into one, with my star count being the average of the two.
Pasha as a restaurant: 3 stars
Pasha was my first Moraccan cuisine experience last year and we loved it enough to come back this year. But, in the year's stead, they made a bunch of changes that I don't know were necessarily for the better. It used to have a regular menu, but now, you have the choice of 5 feasts, and a minimum of two people need to participate in the feast. The food is all delicious, although I don't eat lamb so that narrowed my options considerably. It's the best hummus I've ever had, bar none. The chicken varied from dry-but-flavorful to not-dry-but-not-great. The mint tea is awesome. The restaurant itself is cool, with main seating and several private "rooms" just big enough for the table of diners. The most important thing is that they have belly dancers coming around which is awesome. However, the service in general was terrible.
Pasha as a bar/place to hang out: 5 Stars
The good thing about a business trip is that I don't have to pay for anything, so I'm not going to let the fact that this night was incredibly expensive effect my opinion. Five of us went to Pasha to sit outside, drink and smoke hookas, and it was a perfect night. The flavored tobacco was fantastic, with the flavor coming through more than the smoke. The drinks were great--I had an espresso martini that was so deceivingly delicious I could have gotten into trouble from having too many. It was nice to sit outside and just relax without being bothered by crowds or badgering waiters, but they still managed to be on top of our drink orders and coal needs. Definitely recommend it for a nice night cap.

To what I can recall, I have never had Moroccan food. I have had Middle Eastern food, which is pretty much the same. Regardless, Pasha is posh and won't cost you too many pictures of the Queen.
The atmosphere is very cool, something out of Casablanca or exactly what you think of when you think Moroccan. They even had belly dancers that would go around and try and teach all the girls to belly dance.
We did family style and ordered a ton of food. All of it was really good and there was no shortage in the food. We got one of the cool back corner retreats downstairs. These little nooks are probably the best seats in the house as they give you a good amount of privacy and a really enjoyable decor. They also have shisha available as a lovely after dinner treat!

This is a great restaurant on all counts. Great decor, friendly staff. I seem to recall a great drinks menu and wonderful food.
Be sure to check out the belly dancers, they are really something else!

Ambience was SO amazing -- rose petals lined the dim, but candle-lit place. Sit down in the small hookah-reminiscent chairs or the couch. A rose petal was waiting for me on my napkin! What a cute touch :)
Food was really good too - I had the grilled chicken skewers that was served with rice. Their hummus was okay, but the chicken was really good and the service was quick and friendly.
Definitely would come back!

what do you get when you put three spoken for men (2 with their wives at the table) in the presence of beautiful belly dancers???? some very silly red-faced expressions - oh but it was fun!
the decor of Pasha is great and really felt that i was worlds away from the light rain falling outside. the music set the right ambiance and i liked the cocktail selection....not too many beers to choose from, but guess they are going authentic with the Moroccan theme. we made a reservation and i'm thinking that's why we got a private table and that was a nice touch.
with 5 of us, we went with the set price menu of starters, main course, dessert and mint tea....and received tons of food (a bit too much, i'd say). i had the lamb with a fruit couscous for the main course and it was excellent. i loved my dining experience and will try to get back here soon!

Ahhh yes Pasha,
Probably one of the memorable places I went to eat on my first europe trip in 2007. Interior is amazing. We sat on the second floor balcony and had a nice all around view of the restaurant. I ordered a lamb dish and was very pleased. Service was excellent and the belly dancers were very entertaining. I recommend this place.

My mum has been here a few times and kept recommending it. Last week I finally managed to get to Pasha with my boyfriend and I can see why my mum is impressed with it.
The moment we walked through the door we were taken by the opulent interior which was like entering Alladin's Cave. We arrived early and I had a lovely cocktail before being led to a cosy booth complete with cushions and rose petals.
The food was fantastic, my boyfriend is not familiar with Moroccan food but our waiter was really helpful. We ordered the Meshwi for two people- a delcious lamb dish with apricots, figs, dates served with cinnamon couscous. Unfortunately I did not have room for dessert but the table next to us had a fresh fruit platter which looked lovely.
I cannot wait to return to Pasha and I will be booking it for my birthday in February. I looking forward to ordering more tasty dishes on the menu. Pasha is a lovely restuarant with great service and great foodbuut probably the best thing is you feel like you've actually travelled to exotic Morocco instead of dining in Kensington.
Pasha is the perfect place for a different dining experience that you won't forget.

Pasha is a great Middle Eastern restaurant in South Ken. The interior is well appointed and creates a spectacular ambiance (and don't forget the belly dancers!) The food is great and very authentic, its especially helpful if you request 'family-style' if you're here with a larger group so you can try a bit of everything. Service is very friendly and accommodating, as well. Highly recommended if you're in the area and need a cool place to have dinner.
