This must be the most bizarre dining experience ever. Went there one Saturday lunch time and we were the only party in the restaurant. Although, the Eastern European waitress was nice enough, she was clueless about the menu. I felt that she was trying to rush us throughout our lunch, even though there were no other customers there.

For example, five mins after our starters were bought out, she asked she should bring out the mains. After bringing out them mains, she asked if she should bring out the dessert. It's obvious that she has been 'trained' to maintain a quick turnoaround. The starters were alright but the mains were very poor, bland and tasteless. I could have done a better job myself (no really!!). Take some chicken cubes and slab on some spice in a jar and but in the oven for 30 mins. Honestly, I have been eating in London restaurants for 12 years and this was one of the worst meals I've ever had. I've eaten some very good Middle Eastern food in North London cafes for £6, a large plate with generous portions and the meat juicy and tender and very tasty. I get the impression that this place is trying to be something it doesn't have the skills or experience to be but charging ridiculous amounts for rushed service and poor food. I agree with many of the negetive comments that I felt as though I had been mugged. And to top it off, after our meal we were still in the restaurant admiring the decor (which is the only thing that was nice). And all of a sudden we hear a commotion, four people including the waitress rushed out to the street. We went to see what the fuss was about, they all ran down one end of the street returned and then ran down the other end. It looked liked something out of the Benny Hill show. They had thought we had eaten and done a runner! All in all a very odd expericence and one that you should avoid!

AVOID this place is a rip off. They trick you by brining food that you do not want nor ask for. They simply do their thing and charge you for it. If you order tea, they bring you sweets to and charge £12 per for two. Also they bring grapes and olives (which you didnt order) and charge £8 for two. Thats £20 went down the drain straight away.

The food itself is OKAY, but once you come out of the restaurant you feel you have been ROBBED..

I love this restaurant! It ticks all the boxes; food is DELICIOUS, very good service, nice friendly atmosphere and the restaurant itself looks very nice. Even the music they play was perfect, not too laud and a very good choice. And the drinks are cheaper then at a pub!

I would honestly and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Mediterranean food. I think its very hard to find a good restaurant and this one is definitely one of them!!

I've just had a wonderful weekend in London! What a great city! I visited a few lovely restaurants but felt i should leave a review for Pasha, who i visited last night. When i walked into the restaurant i was blown away by the decor.. i have never truly seen such a beautiful restaurant - i felt like i was on a film set!

The food was lovely and so tasty - but i ate too much! the staff were very friendly and it was a great way to end my weekend in London. I was abit worried about the bad reviews on here but the restaurant was packed and everyone was having a great time.. THANK YOU PASHA!

My husband and I went to Pasha restaurant on Friday night. This was my second visit (my husband's first). We have been to Morocco twice and love the food. My visit to Pasha last year with friends was an authentic experience. However, this time was the complete opposite and we were both really disappointed. We were sat at a 2 seater table. The tables are so crammed in I could hear the whole life story of the couple next door.

We chose the party menu consisting of 5 starters, 3 hot and 2 cold. Unfortunately they were all cold and consisted of 2 pieces of deep fried brie, 2 lamb pastry's and 6 chicken wings. We also chose 2 cold starters which had obviously just been removed from a fridge and were too cold therefore, ruining the taste. The bread was OK. Mains were mixed kebab with what my husband described as fish eggs! Nothing special and very dry. I had a chicken tagine. The chicken was dry and the liquid tasted like dish water. The cous cous side order I had with my dish was tasteless and bland. Dessert consisted of a tower of different baclava. On the top were a few black grapes, 1 strawberry halved, 2 pieces of very hard pineapple, a piece of apple and a segment of orange. All freezing cold and certainly not fresh. We had 1 drink each, a beer and an orange juice.

Total cost for this really unpleasant culinary experience: just short of £100!!!!! The best part of the evening was the belly dancers and the customer who attempted belly dancing! Definitely not an authentic Moroccan night, and I feel I am in a good place to offer this review having visited Marrakech in the past. I will say that the decor and furnishings do transport me back to Morocco however, this is not what you visit a restaurant for. Do not waste your money,

I booked Reservations through City-Eating.... when we arrived at the restaurant we were greated by the owner Alejandro.... and he showed us to our table... in my opinion we had the best seats in the resturant... we sat in a small private alcove, that was decorated beautifly....Alejandro... brought us some wonderful soup for us to try. The service was excellent. The wait staff went above and beyond. The food was EXCELLENT. I would recommend to restaurant to everyone. I would definately go back. I travel to londeon, from NYC on a weekly basis and I have to say Pasha is now MY FAvorite Restaurant.

MANAGEMENT ARROGANT BEYOND BELIEF! BLAND HOSPITAL FOOD! ANYTHING BUT MOROCCAN!

I went to Pasha for my friend's birthday party. Having read all the negative reviews, I still wanted to give this restaurant a chance, hoping that other people simply had a one-off bad experience. How wrong I was! EVERY SINGLE NEGATIVE REVIEW IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE:

- Starters were okay, mains were flavourless, bland and simply boring. They were more like hospital food than authentic Moroccan.

- We paid about £70 /head, which included set menu and a moderate amount of wine / water.

- Be prepared to pay £2 "cover charge" per person. When asked what that was, were told that it's a compulsory charge for bread.

- We tried speaking to the manager, and also mentioned that the restaurant doesn't have a very good reviews online, to which he replied: "I don't care!". We felt like tourists who were mugged.

What a beautiful restaurant. I loved it! The decor is absolutely amazing! I was really taken back by how stunning this place is... you wouldnt think you were in London!

The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We were seated in the kemia lounge for pre-dinner drinks.. i dont drink alcohol so we had a non-alcoholic cocktail.. really nice! The atmosphere was fantastic - lots of people relaxing, smoking shisha, drinking.. loved it!

We were then seated in the main part of the restaurant... and given an alcove (i think thats the name?).. try and get one.. your sat in your own private booth.. candles, lanterns, rose petals... we really felt like we were in Morocco!

The food was really tasty... we had the "feast" menu.. and there was LOTS OF IT! (we took some home!).. definately recommend the tagine!

The menu was definately reasonably priced.. you get so much for what you pay for... like i said.. we ended up taking some home.

Definately going back.. excellent all round!

Try the indoor shisha - apple! mmm!
