Pasha Restaurant Old Town | Turkish | Western | Thai | Georgian | Halal Food

Pasha Restaurant Old Town sits right in the heart of Phuket Old Town, making it a great spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner after exploring the historic streets. The atmosphere is tidy and welcoming, with pleasant music, clean dining areas, and thoughtful decor. It can be especially quiet during the day. The venue is spacious and spread over two levels, though the upstairs area may feel warm if the air-conditioning isn’t running at full strength.

The focus here is on halal food and Turkish/Arabic cuisine. The meat is served fresh, the dishes are filling, and portions are generous. Standout choices include the Beyti kebab, Ezo gelin soup, and other meat dishes, along with the flavorful lahmacun and a refreshing ayran. The menu also includes Thai, Western, and Georgian options, plus choices for vegetarians and families with kids. The selection is genuinely broad, although some of the international dishes can feel less distinctive than the Turkish classics.

Service is polite and attentive. Orders arrive at a good pace, staff handle requests calmly, and they’re happy to adjust or replace a dish if the spice level isn’t right. Guests may also receive small complimentary touches such as Turkish tea or fruit, and the drinks and cocktails are presented neatly. Prices are on the higher end for Phuket — especially for the Old Town area — and some mains may require ordering a side dish, such as rice, separately.
