The atmosphere here is incredible. The hookah flavors was refreshing, and hit smoothly. The food, omg so tasty and delicious. The staff!!! They go above and beyond to take care of you during your time. I highly recommend you to try the best place to grab hookah in San Francisco 🤩🤩✨ they have a great selection for mocktails also by the way ✨✨✨

My sister and I visited Pasha last night and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance was beautiful, the vibe was unmatched, and the service was excellent. The food was delicious, the hookah was smooth, and everything came together for a true 10/10 night. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right, but Pasha absolutely delivered. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!

Linda Zaia

Fun ambience, best hookah in SF. Love the Kanafa and definitely the lamb chops and kabob. We have been visiting from AZ and have been coming here every evening since we found the place. Will definitely miss it . Thank you Izmit for the welcoming atmosphere . He’s the one with the ponytail and big smile. 😊

This is possibly the best hookah bar I’ve been looking for since my trip to Dubai, the closest to the vibe and atmosphere. Amazing service, hookah, and food. Friendly staff and recommend anyone looking for an authentic and fun hookah lounge that transports you to the Emirates. Definitely coming back often.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Pasha SF! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and vibrant—perfect for a great night out. The service was top-notch, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about their menu. I tried the Afghan Sunset hookah, and it was smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepared—one of the best I’ve had in the city. For my meal, I went with the rack of lamb, which was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with incredible flavor. To top it off, I ordered Katie’s Dirty Sister, a cocktail that was as fun as its name—strong, balanced, and dangerously delicious! For dessert, I indulged in the kunefe paired with the Golden Hour cocktail, and it was phenomenal. The kunefe was perfectly crispy on the outside, gooey and sweet on the inside, with just the right hint of savory balance. The Golden Hour cocktail complemented it beautifully, adding a smooth, refined finish to an already amazing meal. The combination of great food, drinks, and ambiance made for an unforgettable evening. Whether you’re here for a relaxed dinner, a fun night with friends, or a quality hookah experience, Pasha SF delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!

Pasha is outstanding! The atmosphere is vibrant and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax with friends. The hookah options are diverse and expertly prepared, delivering rich flavors and smooth smoke. They have the best Turkish food I have ever tried, the cocktails are original and very tasty and the staff is really friendly. They have bellydance shows every Wednesday. I always have an unforgettable time when I visit this place.

Hesam Kedinov

Excellent place and very well managed - shout out to Ahmet! Totally recommend for Turkish and Mediterranean food; had a lovely time here and the ambience and service was as good as the food. I used to get their food delivered and it was always on point, so I really had to try it in person. Lamb chops are amazing and so is the beef flatbread. Ahmet the manager was a lovely character who took care of my party and was attentive to us. He definitely knows a lot about hospitality and running a great business. I just realized they have a Redwood City location; can’t wait to try.

Lulu Thygesen

This place is one of my favorite places in the city. It has amazing music with music videos that are very culturally diverse and catchy! The food is off the hook. Not only does it come out fairly quickly… It is absolutely delicious and piping hot. For example, the flatbread has the perfect crunch on the crust at the bottom with The toppings and melted cheese piping hot and gooey. You may have to flag down the service staff if you need something fairly quickly but once you ask for it, it shows up almost immediately . Sometimes they have belly dancers, and they are very tasteful and classy and fun to watch!

Pasha SF is an excellent Mediterranean restaurant and hookah lounge with modern interpretation. We ordered the Mezze trio, kifta kebab, kunefe and baklava. Everything tasted great with the exception of the baklava which was a bit too soggy for my taste. Service was super fast and the atmosphere was really intimate. Prices were also very fair for the amount and quality of food. Highly recommended!

Alejandra Neiza

This place is amazing. Everything looks amazing and pretty. Music is very good. The atmosphere is incredible. Food is great and taste. Good portion, good quality, good prices. I high recommend this place for all occasions (date, hang out, birthdays)

Emma

Pasha is a great place to hangout with friends and have delicious food and drinks. Everything is reasonably priced. I had the beef kebob plate and it was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture until the end. The staff are super friendly and they even let my friend enjoy his food from a different restaurant while he came to hangout with us. Great music as well, you won’t be disappointed.

Grait costumer service, Nur and all guys working here very nice, food amazing! Nice music!

Amazing vibes, food and service. Thank you for everything and hokkah man Sedat 👌🏻

I was visiting SF for work. Must visit. Had food only, the food is delicious, tasty with its rich flavored. The staff is awesome and willing to provide the best service. The atmosphere is amazing. I was hesitant because it’s hookah bar and food. I went, and glad I did.

Moe and the rest of the crew here are awesome. They always take care of us, are very accommodating, and they make some amazing hookah. Vibes are always on point. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Amazing cocktails.. Tel is an amazing talent! Started off with whiskey sour with a twist(must have ) .. maravillosa is a must have.. food is yum.. high quality ingredients and best Mediterranean fare!

This place was amazing, the food is very fresh, good quality and flavorful. Must try the Adana, grilled salmon and Turkish coffee. The atmosphere is relaxing and instagram worthy. Definitely will come back.

Loved the vibe, best ambience, Shisha was amazing beyond the expectations and server ESVET is very cool guy got me the best flavor and I love this place. This place became my best one so far.

The vibe is awesome, the food and drinks even better, and Kubra was an amazing waitress. Definitely will come back often.

good vibes, and the hookah taste really good not fake like at other hookah lounges you go to

Its amazing atmosphere, foods and service! Thank you for Esvet! We will be back there soon with my friends! And lastly, their Kebab is a must try

Amazing! Food!

I highly recommend Pasha if you are into Mediterranean food scene and hookah / shisha - among the cocktails, I highly recommend trying purple / black diamond 👌

Everything was great! Best hookah and cocktails in the city. Great vibes and music, will be definitely back again.

Pasha in Redwood absolutely sucks from the hookah to the slowest service ever. But this location is way better.. good food/hookah and great customer service

Best lounge and restaurant ever! Shout out to Esvet! Hookah is the best and original of San Francisco!

The cocktails here are AMAZING- the best we’ve had all weekend & the staff are wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Such a fun place!! The cocktails are amazing, staff is really nice and accommodating, and the food & hookah is spot on!

It’s best Turkish restaurant in SF. Adana kebab is 10 of 10 ! Cuisine is delicious. I recommend for every one ☝🏻

Good vibes and service

Had an amazing experience here so far one of my favorite hookah bars in San Francisco.

We visited Pasha on Aug 24,2024 on a trip to San Francisco and we went back on Aug 27. Atmosphere is great! Hookahs are amazing- we tried pineapple head hookah- highly recommended. Desert was great. Staff so friendly. They even played our on demand Persian music! The experience was amazing. Highly recommended

This place is great. Food is on point and the hookah is great. I would highly recommend this place if your in San Francisco. Manager is great and service is excellent. Friendly staff and great music.

Good food. Good atmosphere

Their Kebab platter was really good. The service was okay. Amazing atmosphere.

Everything was amazing ! food beverage hookah. And our server Esvet was amazing. We are gonna come again for you ❤️ Thank you Esvet Thank you pasha

Nice place to dance and dine and drink on weekends They play persian music and arab music and turkey music a lot The shisha are very nice

Team is amazing but Esved is the ine that makes ut better

Mo and Ruhat were AMAZING! EXCELLENT customer service! And the drinks and atmosphere were great!

Hummus and chicken plate were amazing! Can't wait to come back

Pasha nailed it! To compare other Turkish and Mediterranean places this is it! Great service and staff. Kind a loud ambience so get ready yourself for that.

Modern decoration of restaurant hall & lighting will positively impress visitor for sure. Food was ok and service was fast, will come back here for dinner another day again

This is the best cool place to relax, smoke good hookah enjoy good music and the food is great.

Beautifully designed hookah place , good food , good decent hookah and great service

I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Kubra. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and professional. Kubra made excellent recommendations from the menu, and she truly knew the dishes inside and out, which helped us make great choices. She was consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive, and her timing was impeccable throughout the meal. It felt like she genuinely cared about our dining experience. Kubra’s warm and welcoming demeanor made our visit so enjoyable, and her dedication to service is a credit to the restaurant. Highly recommend requesting Kubra if you want an exceptional dining experience!"

I had a fantastic experience at Pasha Mediterranean restaurant. The staff was attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere complemented by pleasant music. The flatbread was a standout, and the addition of hookah added a unique touch. Overall, a great place for those seeking a delightful dining experience

Came here once before but the food menu was very limited but now the full kitchen is here and its great. Smooth hookah, flavorful food, fun ambiance.

Esved took care of us. The overall service was great!!!

Amazing new location in San Francisco. I didn’t think it could get any better than the location in Redwood City but this location blew my mind. The customer service was great, seemed like everyone that was working there kept coming to check on us and made sure we hit taken care off. Great cocktails, delicious food and amazing hookah. Definitely recommend to visit this spot

This is my new favorite spot! The food was awesome! The customer service was great! The hookah was so good and smooth! The music was nice! The ambience was awesome! If your looking for a nice hookah spot to chill and relax, this is is the place!

Great atmosphere, tasty food and very friendly staff!

Best food I’ve eaten in probably my whole life. Cool place to chill in sf. I wouldn’t think a hookah bar to have the best food I’ve ever put in my mouth but here we are. Highly recommend.

Good and drinks are good. Lots of options. Love the hookah.

Best hookah spot I've been to lol hands down. I wish they did hip hop it is more a pop culture here but totally nice. Food was good hookah was good and we got free belly dance performance which was entertaining. 10/10. Oh yea get the flatbread!

It's the only place with the best menu in San Francisco. The friendliness and service of the staff is really great and the hookah cocktails are the best I've ever had. I recommend everyone to stop by and try it.😊😊

İ was traveling around the country and i never seen any other place like this. The atmosphere and service was perfect i highly recomented this place. Give them a chance…

First time here and everything was great. Staff is really nice and friendly.( shout out to Esvet)I had Adana dish and as a drink l had Purple cocktail They also have another location in Redwood City.Will try there too. Thank you Pasha

Food was amazing! Service is great and hookah was divine! Highly recommend trying their wings, mock tails and flatbread!

very neat restaurant with good food at normal prices. friendly staff takes good care of you. hookah is sweet just a pity that this is without nicotine but that is something personal. Definitely recommended if you're in SF.

Beyond my expectations! Great hookah, delicious cocktails and stunning service! Very big thanks to owners and every single personnel to bring great middle eastern vibe to our city!

Long overdue review! My husband and I have been coming here for many months since we moved to SF. The hookah is excellent and high quality. And the service is always top notch. Even when it’s full the manager will accommodate you the best they can. If you come on weekends it gets really fun with loud music and dancing and even belly dancers on Thursday evenings. The food and drinks are really good too, with many vegan and vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

Grait costumer service, Nur and all guys working here very nice, food amazing! Nice music!

I had a great time at Pasha Hookah Bar. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they made sure that we had everything we needed. The hookah flavors were delicious, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. We even got to enjoy some live music on the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pasha Hookah Bar to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy some hookah. Specifics: I ordered the "Pasha Special" hookah flavor, which was a delicious blend of mint, watermelon, and peach. The staff was very knowledgeable about the different hookah flavors, and they were happy to help me choose the right one. The atmosphere at Pasha Hookah Bar is very relaxed and inviting. There is a large patio with outdoor seating, and there is also a small indoor lounge. On the weekends, Pasha Hookah Bar hosts live music. We were lucky enough to catch a performance by a local jazz band, and it was really enjoyable.

I went here last night with a friend and I am BEYOND impressed. The decor is gorgeous, the staff is INCREDIBLY friendly (shout out to Esvet) and the food is 🤤. We sat at the bar and had hookah and a couple of their specialty cocktails. My favorite was the blue diamond, which comes in a really cool, interesting glass. We hadn’t smoked hookah in a long time, so Esvet took his time going over the flavors and process with us. The food is classic Mediterranean, but with an upscale twist. There’s not a single dish we didn’t like. I can’t recommend this place enough.

I have come here twice in one week and can confirm, all the cocktail drinks on the menu are guaranteed to taste great! I couldn’t even name one drink as the best because they were all so amazing. They make the drinks with fresh ingredients. Only bar where there wasn’t one drink I wouldn’t recommend. The food was also very delicious. If you could only have one dish off the menu, the manti is the one. So delightful. I took two different friend groups on separate days and each one loved this dish. They said they’d come back just to eat that dish again. I haven’t tried their hookah so I can’t speak on if that’s good or not. But the food and drinks are. I do recommend if you go in and the only space you can sit at is the bar, don’t sit at the end towards the back. The people working behind the bar tend to stay and attend people closer to the main entrance part of the bar. Other than that, 100% recommend and will be coming back!

Amazing food, chill music, great attentive service and most of all, amazing hookah. Atmosphere is great. I wish it opened around 3pm tho as o don’t I’ve in SF and want hookah on the afternoon

Amazing food. Amazing service. Esvet is great, very friendly, kept checking on my table and always with smile on his face. The food was awesome and had quality. The size of the portions were good too 👍 Definitely PURPLE DIAMOND cocktail is my favorite 🍸👌

This place is amazing ! Great hookah ! Great staff! They treated me like a Queen for my bday!! I definitely recommend. The food is fresh and delicious. They’re fresh juice cocktails are to die for!! THE VIBE IS AMAZING !! Highly recommend it!! 😍😍😍

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and amazing service. Emen (sorry if I misspelled the name) was so sweet and attentive. The hookahs were prepared very well! Drinks were so refreshing and delightful. Highly recommend. Thank you Emen for the amazing experience and awesome service.

Food is delicious and hookah is flavorful! Definitely is a must go!

A few of my friends came here for a cool Tuesday night out. The vibe here is amazing! Music was bumping! Food was great! Hookah was flavorful and the staff was were knowledgeable with great recommendations! Definitely a must visit! I asked how the weekends were and I was told it gets quite busy so show up early. Definitely will add this place to our rotation!

this is the best Mediterranean food you can get in San Francisco! I came here for my mother’s birthday, and it was the best experience ever! They made us feel very welcome and we had an amazing night! The manager was incredibly welcoming and provided stellar service!

This is a great place with a wonderful ambience peaceful and relaxing. I would especially like to appreciate ESVET, who is a fantastic person and truly an asset to the restaurant. The way he communicates and helps with food selection makes you feel welcomed and relaxed. He went above and beyond by helping me find one of my lost items, which I genuinely appreciated. Thank you, ESVET. I wish you all the best and great success in life!

Amazing food, chill music, great attentive service and most of all, amazing hookah. Atmosphere is great. I wish it opened around 3pm tho as o don’t I’ve in SF and want hookah on the afternoon

The food was great. However, the service wasn’t great. We had to wait longer for someone to show up at our table.

Really great place, yet there’s nothing super special about it. Me and my friends got a ton of share plates along with a hookah and some drinks. The drinks are extremely reasonable and tasty but I could’ve gotten a better hookah somewhere else. Other than that it’s a beautiful place to go and great vibes.

Everything here was nothing shy of superb, minus the quality of the pizza we ordered. Tasted kind of like a middle school pizza but not saying middle school pizza is necessarily bad! The waiters were nice, and are amazing at their job and I will say, their choice of music was so good, was like an African pop/rap mix. Will definitely return

Came here for lunch and Hookah, definitely nice place to hangout with friends. We got the Chicken flatbread which was so good and Appetizer platter as well. We chose Warermelon and Peach Hookah, it was smooth, enjoyed it.

Very good hookahs. Music way too loud, almost impossible to hear other people around the same table, let alone speak to them without shouting.

Food is tasty, and the ambiance is great. staff is very friendly and attentive. Kind of pricy.

Their service was really good. Food was ok, the music was too loud though and I recommend them to install some powerful AC/vents.

Good food. Great hookah/birthday place. Somewhat bad service. They need more people. It's takes a while to get helped.

The service was good, and I didn't see anything different with Arabian food. One thing I don't like is the fact that they don't use disposable holes for their hookah. I feel they were washed and reusable

If you’re expecting the ambiance of Redwood City Pasha.. you will be disappointed. Service is the same: great Food is mediocre at best. Not the same Menu as Redwood City.. We had the Kusbasi flatbread (lamb pizza), wings, and the Chicken kabob. The lamb pizza tasted like a cheap frozen pizza. The wings had extra batter and very oily. The chicken kabob was good however a little dry. The decor and music is great and has a more intimate vibe combined with a good sound system. I would come again.. but after the menu has been updated. -From a faithful Pasha customer since the original one opened. Thanks 🙏🏻

Atmosphere and vibe is nice and chill, albeit a bit elderly and boring. Middle Eastern music with entertaining videos on the screen. Hookah hits nice and smooth throughout the 2 hours I was here. Interesting and pretty looking drinks. I got the hummus and falafel. The falafel was hard throughout and not good.

+1

Their hooka is clean and good, the kunafa is delicious, and their food is good and well organized.

I come to Pasha every time I’m in San Francisco — not because it’s the best place, but because it’s the only decent hookah spot around. The food is good, and the hookah itself is fine considering the limited options in the city. Still, I really wish they had more flavors, better quality hookah, and music that wasn’t so overwhelmingly loud.

Love the ambience! I don't do hookah but my friends do. They got a few hookas and I sat and enjoyed the fumes. They seemed to like it a lot. I was too full to order food but it looked damn good on other ppls plates.

Definetly a date night place. I was Travelling solo so they stuck me on a extremely tiny table booth where my legs barely fit. BUT the food and hookah were great. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered taweook and it was cooked very well.

While I don't do hookahs but the friend of mine really had a great time. The server here was extremely kind hearted and was way too polite. I broke the glass mistakenly and she cared for my feet instead of glass and replaced the drink for free too. Super happy about the place overall and they have nice music too.

Great music, good hooka, terrible cocktails! I opted for the golden hour. It was extremely sour. In the next cocktail, I got something with tequila in it something different. It was a great cocktail design but was very sour… and barely any alcohol. I like the place. I would go back, but I will get beer to be safe…

Chicken kabob was surprisingly good. Very small portions tho. Flat bread was mid. Hookah was good. The raspberry cheesecake was frozen. The reason for the 2 stars is mainly because of service. Service was HORRIBLE. Waiters are extremely rude. They treat a club but claim it’s a restaurant. Overall, I wouldn’t go back, maybe only for the hookah. The vibes were weird. They were tryna make it a club after 8 pm but the setting is not for a “club.” The Redwood City one has more of a “club” ambiance. They need to choose if they want pasha sf as a “club” or a restaurant.

Not a good experience - very overpriced hookah and rude servers. After asking servers to fix our hookah almost 5 times, they were showing attitude about changing the flavor and then ended up charging us for doing that. It's one thing if you charge for doing it but why show attitude and be rude to your customer. Also should be upfront about the charge. They also close their kitchen much earlier.

Disgusting place Management has tiny man syndrome Bartenders don't know how to make drinks Servers walk around eying you making you want to leave they overall very weird and uncomfortable place music is to load as well and drinks overpriced Go somewhere else

They gave my order to the wrong Uber driver & wouldn’t take responsibility or remake my order. No communication whatsoever as I was waiting for my food for over an hour and a half & decided to call the restaurant to see what was going on. The man who I talked to said there was nothing he could do about it.

The staff is nice but the manager is extremely rude and horrible! In empty restaurants around 5:30, the manager made us move seats because the whole restaurant was “reserved”. We left hour later still to empty restaurant!

We were there twice and didn't get a great service both times. Although they have space to seat you they reserve it for "special" people and give you the bar seats!!! Won't be hanging there

We went to this place and the Turkish guy with long hair and not too tall with a short beard and black T-shirt was super rude, impolite, and was threatening us and so we left the place without reporting 911. He awaited us and wanted to fight since he was very nervous! Super horrible!

Omgoooooodshhhhhh For this place to be so beautiful it’s soo boring . The music was horrendous . They played habbi music then one random Spanish song then more habbi music , then some random rock song . Bro you can’t even get drunk right. Then not to mention when you enter the spot they tell you oh it’s going to be a loonnngggggggg time before you will get a seat . Sooo? What are you saying ? You don’t want me to wait ? I’m suprised so manny 5 stars . This makes me feel San fransico doesn’t know how to have real fun . They will accept anything Dear management fire the iPod and get a real dj please .

We love the Pasha Redwood City. We went to SF newly open location for a date night with my husband. We called a make a reservation. Once we got there the manager rudely told us they don’t take reservations on weekend. A lot of tables were empty. And they didn’t want to give it to us and wanted to sit us at the bar. The staff were very nice other then the manager. And their process of sitting there customers. If a customer is already at your restaurant seat them first don’t keep your tables for your imaginary customers. Next week my friend went there and received the same treatment.

The worst customer service that I ever received. I literally faced racism here because I was Indian and I did not belong to people they knew. They made people before us seat because they knew them and made us wait for 45 minutes. When I walked up to them they did not even say that it would take time they kept us hanging and in the end we had to leave in disappointment. Worst customer service, would give 0 if i had an option.

Just had an Uber eat from this place....beyond disgusting!!! miss representation nothing looks the pics they uploaded...tiny portion....COLD...DISGUSTING presentation...not worth a penny...wonder why this place even open... what a shame. I couldn't even put this food in front of my dog, belong to garbage.
