Alright, finally my first yelp review.
After hearing about ownership change etc, I dared to check this place out. The decor is ok. The music/belly dancer average. Food is average for the price. Wine was just about OK.
Overpriced for the quality of experience. I would rather go to El Mansour or even Ziryab which has less fanfare but much better value for money.
I found out the company was having their X-mas party here. I yelped it and saw the issues with overcharging and told my boss about it.
We weren't victims of overcharging but of something MUCH worse!!!
We ordered many rounds of tequila. The shots were watered down. WATERED DOWN!!! I thought it was just me since I'd been drinking all week....but no I found out later it was the consensus of all of us.
Honestly..how do you water down SHOTS!!!
The food was not great either.
This is what happens when you don't plan the Christmas party four months ahead of time.
How do they get away with shit like that? I wonder who I could call.
Easily one of the worst dinning experiences of my life. I went for a birthday party....
There were about 12 people, some drinks. No fancy wine. Just beer and well cocktails, no one was going over the top. Our food portions were meager, I know I am a big guy but even my waife of a girlfriend needed a slice of pizza after dinner to stop her stomache from rumbling. P.S. the seasoning of choice is 'mediocre.'
Now, all of this would be fine and just kind of chalked up to 'whatever.' No in this case.
It was $90 per fucking person. Really. I mean it. People were scrambling to get enough cash together. Do you know how nice of a meal we could have had for that much dough? Don't go. Please. Don't go.
UPDATE:
I received an invitation to try Pasha under new ownership and I will do that and update my star rating then.
OLD REVIEW:
A con-artist, user, money grubbing jerk of a "friend" brought me here - to wind up paying!
The food scared me; I'd never seen food like this before. Perhaps it was good, I don't know. I didn't find it 'amazing' or even memorable.
What I did find is that the staff were ineffectual and when I found out my "friend" had passed the high dinner tab to ME, I told them it was her birthday, so they made her get up in front of the entire restaurant with a belly-dancer. She's a real social climbing freak, so it embarrassed her to no end! The last I heard, she was still telling the story about what an ass I am for doing that.
Priceless. (Although I hadn't heard of the scamming this place does until today)
I'll never go back and I'll YELL and YELP to EVERYONE to STAY AWAY!!!
Went for a company party...
The food...ehh, not my thing. Everything tasted drenched in oil and mint leaf. Maybe it's an acquired taste, one I've yet to acquire. Think of greasy baklava...now greasier...okay, a little greasier. Now, add mint leaf flavor...no more...stronger...more mint leaves...more. Now, instead of baklava, imagine the flavor and high saturation of oil on chicken...now meat of all kind. GET IT?
The lamb? Taste like greasy liver. Probably another acquired taste. I'm pretty adventurous to trying new things...sad to say. No, not for me...maybe for you, but not for me.
The stars? Well, it was a very unique atmosphere. I like sitting low and I like the tent like feel with all the fabric on the walls and ceiling...ooh, cool. The belly dancers were fun...I got to see my boss and all the other dorks I work with shake their salt shaker...ooh, I just barfed a little in my mouth. I must say, the food wasn't great...the belly dancers were alright...but we had fun, and in the end isn't that all that matters? =)
OH YEAH - Pretty darn expensive too! Good thing it was paid for on the company account! BOOYAH!
"You've been Pasha'd!" -- An expression my friends and I use, when we feel totally ripped off.
Here's the story:
In 2002, I was visiting the Bay Area for work. While I was in town, it gave me an opportunity to catch up with some people from high school who I hadn't seen in years. A friend of mine decide to organize a gathering. Someone who couldn't make it, suggested Pasha's. Anyhow, that ends up being where we all decided to meet up on a Saturday night.
Parking was difficult to find in the area. Once we arrived, we were sat down at our table. The waiter started telling us what the specials are. I swore the waiter said the special was $22. Several of my friends decided it was worth giving a try.
Throughout the night, the service was poor. I think the food was just average, because I don't remember much about it.
At end of the night, we asked if we could get separate bills, and the waiter said no. After explaining that I'm on a business trip, the waiter agreed to separate it into 2 bills, one for me, and a second for rest of our group.
When the bill arrived, my friends were shocked the special was $32 instead of $22. We asked the waiter to come over and wondered what happened. The waiter insisted that he said $32, when all of us swore that he said $22.
It became a situation of he said VS. we heard. Feeling pissed off, we decide to give him a poor tip.
With a large party, we were obligated to give him a 18% tip. ARGH, we did NOT want to tip him. Anyhow, we all decided to just pay up and leave, and call it a night. It wasn't worth staying any longer and feeling aggravated.
Since I was able to get my own individual bill, and it was under my daily meal allowance during my business trip, I wasn't particular angry like my friends.
To support my friends, I have never gone back to Pasha's since, nor will I plan on going back again.
Now, if you ever hear me use the expression "You've been Pasha'd!", you'll know what I mean :)
Yay for Pasha! New ownership and fantastic new kitchen. Our whole experience was transportive and serene and tasty. You walk in and it is meant to feel like you're in a tent with carpeted floor and billowing fabric of a ceiling.
They bring a basin with scented water for you to wash your hands in like royalty.
We had hummus and falafel served in a mint yogurt sauce, both so good my husband and I turned to each other with eyebrows way up and smiling eyes. We like hummus and falafel, and honestly feel that this was some of the best in the city. For the main course my husband's grilled lamb with delicately spiced saffron rice was just incredible. I had the chicken couscous and that was really good, served as a half roasted chicken. They had nice live music that was really chill and enjoyable.
It was overall just a really pleasant and tasty way to spend an evening.
The quality of the food is really high, and the prices are not bad at all.
If you read these reviews and still go to this place, YOU DESERVE all the badness that will happen during the experience.
I was asked to join a bday party there, and I yelped, and was soo turned off that I almost didnt attend. But its a bday so I didnt wanna say "ehhh hey guys im not going to be able to make it, i looked at yelp, and the place got bad reviews." Thats EXACTLY what I should have said....
The inside is fun and different. Paintings on the wall music and interesting lighting and such. We had a party of like 10, and we weere partying it up. We were seated at 8pm we got our menus at 830, our soups at 9pm. The music and the belly dancer were no longer entertaining. We wanted our food. We get our food at 10pm food was AVERAGE. Which isnt bad, we paid 35 dollars a person for the prixe fixe, but when we got the bill. IT WAS AMAZINGLY 70 dollars a person!
I am boiling inside, after reading everything i read, and eating avg food, to Pay 70 bucks for what I could have easily gotten for 15, i was just no going to accept. BUT being that it was someones birthday, I didnt want to be the squeaky wheel, so i just paid and continued to simmer.
no great ending here, just DONT GO, unless the reviews make a drastic change for the better!
ALSO the prixe fixe dessert was cookies???? a cookie a person pretty much. Definate RIP OFF. This place needs to check itself.
I'm writing this review for my friend. She had made a reservation here for her company's party. While they were making a reservation, the person from Pasha asked for a credit card to hold the reservation. She asked if they can cancel the reservation if it doesn't work out. They said "yes". This was Tuesday and the reservation was for Thursday.
On Wednesday, my friend decided that they didn't want to have it at Pasha anymore and when they called to cancel the reservation, the guy at Pasha flipped out. He said that they need 48 hours to cancel and that he will charge the credit card $20 per person booked. My friend was trying to explain to him that the person who took the reservation NEVER told them that and that she has specifically asked if it was possible to cancel the reservation. The guy at Pasha was yelling at my friend saying that "at a hotel, they will charge your card if you don't give 48 hours notice". He kept arguing with my friend and said that he is going to chanrge her card even though she verbally said that she is not authorizing him to do so and that she never did authorize that when she reserved the table. He was REALLY RUDE!
So....my advise to you...DO NOT book your Holiday Parties here!
This place was retardedly expensive, the food was not that great and the portions were soo tiny..the only saving grace was the people I was with who were fun and able to go with the flow..
All hummus is not created equal..!!!!
Low quality, overpriced Middle Eastern food, and there is like a $20 per person minimum at the bar (don't remember the exact amount, but there is a plaque posted on the wall), so even if you just go for drinks you pay a lot. The only entree I can stand there is the Prawns Tangine, and even that won't fill most people up.
Most people come here for the birthday festivities, where the birthday people get a little fez hat. The bellydancer "teaches" them a few moves (quotes because you can't learn how to actually do the moves in 2 minutes). Then each person gets a 20 second musical interlude by the band to show their newly found skills.
Unfortunately, the few times I've gone the dancers haven't been good, but dancers come and go so who knows who it will be if you go. Is it worth the money? No. At least the decor is nice.
A place like this must be a front for some other business, because I can't imagine why it hasn't shut down otherwise.
Maybe great for company parties (where someone else pays the bill and you aren't at your desk), but otherwise there isn't a lot to love. The food was stale, the drinks were tiny and they do this neat trick where they teach you how to belly dance so the dancers don't have to do as much.
Pros:
* Can seat large groups (though keep reading...)
* Belly dancers (show has some audience participation)
Cons:
* Expensive, mediocre food.
* The belly dancers don't dance for too long...instead don't be surprised to find some dude singing for the rest of the night. Sure...live music...that's great. But when you advertise and market the belly dancing, people prefer that to watching some dude in a suit.
* An extremely RETARDED policy where they won't split the bill more that 3-ways without charging each person a $3 charge. Ok dude. NO! I'd almost prefer it be a CASH only place, but having them say that outright, so you know to hit up the ATM before dinner. This stupid policy pops up at the very end when you've already racked up a sizable tab. As you all know, splitting the bill between a large group is always "fun". Add to that the joy of realizing you need cash all of a sudden.
Strike this place off my list!
I didn't come for the food. In fact, I had no idea what this place was until I came for my birthday about three years ago.
It wasn't just my birthday, we were celebrating three birthdays and like all birthday people, we were asked to get on stage and we all learned how to belly dance.
Great place, mediocre food
=)
The ambiance is pretty cool, so I WANT to like this place. I TRIED to like this place, but I just CAN'T!
The food is grossly overpriced for both the quality and quantity. Menu is eh, at best.
We were the ONLY people in there... so that tell's you something about the popularity of this place. It was also freezing cold in there. Not just chilly, but cold like I have to keep on my coat and wedge my hands in my arm pits to stay warm kinda-cold!
I had no idea about all of the scams they pull with the bill, but from the other reviews it sounds just too shady.. so now I just have one more reason not to like Pasha.
Just don't do it.
Old and tired...yuck!
That's all I'm sayin'
Be smart, don't be scammed, and avoid Pasha. I can't believe that a business would jack up your bill so high by inflating the number of drinks you supposedly had. I ended up paying over $200 for myself and my date. The meal costs $30/person, and even though I do like to imbibe occasionally, we did not spend $140 on booze.
It unfortunately that people are dishonest, because Pasha actually does have a nice Middle Eastern feel to it and decent food. After a few drinks, you may even feel like joining in on the belly dancing.
Pasha is an interesting place
my first time here was when I was studying
in Berkeley in 1992
Bunch of Japanese Students from MITI treated me to Pasha
I had a great time and wonderful experience
It was the company and the setting that made it wonderful
It was celebration at the end of the semester
and some were leaving back overseas
There was a beautiful girl belly dancing from Middle East
I believe Lebanese or Syrian
I loved the Bastilla
Went with my Moroccan friends
next to us were girls from Jordan
everyone was getting into the music and dancing
It was hard not to enjoy the atmosphere
I went several time afterward
and was not exactly the same
I have heard several stories as well that are quite interesting
as well from friends
But I think it a pace you can go with a group for an experience
maybe also go as a couple as well
This place is only fun when there are other people in the restaurant. I've been when it was practically empty, and having the belly dancer stare only at you was a bit creepy.
But one time I went with a large party and on that night there were many other parties as well. it was totally fun! Though I don't really like Moroccan food, the place is so gorgeous that it's hard not to have a great time. But only if there are other people! So make sure you go on a busy night...more fun that way. You can dance along with the belly dancer or just slip dollars in her skirt. Whatever floats your boat.
I must praise the waiter who was so sweet to me and my party of three when we were the ONLY people in the restaurant. He was very, very nice. He and the gorgeous interior made up for the lack of people and questionable cuisine.
I don't think I'll go back to Pasha. I've seen it twice and I'm really glad that I did. Like I said, I think the decor of this place is great! And I had a terrific time when it was full of people. But the second time when it was literally empty...I had to let my love for Pasha go.
Very unique and fun middle eastern decor...tried Bastilla (with shredded chicken) for the first time, which we found very tasty, they are filo dough with egg, nuts, shredded chicken and topped with powdered suger) Also the honey chicken which was extremely aromatic and tasty...the couscous was pretty good. Don't forget to get a glass of mint tea...it was the best!
We went on a weekday night, and they were pretty empty, but to my understanding the place gets rocking on weekends with live music and dancers! Would be a great place for a small party! I would return, but probably on a weekend when there is more action! (better than the same old sushi or italian/american)
I went over to Pasha restaurant to celebrate my 20th birthday with 20+ guests over the past weekend, and I have to say that I never had such bad experience with any restaurant before. It basically messed up my birthday, and even if ever they give out free meals, I would never go back there again. I can't believe anybody would say that this restaurant was fun or even the food was good. It was way too pricy. I ordered a meal called "Jumbo Shrimp", and the plate came with 5 pieces of regular shrimp, I can't believe that plate cost $25 dollars. There's nothing good about this place. It was extremely pricy, there were only one dancer who danced for less than 30 minutes, and the food came out after 3 hours. We were all just sitting in the restaurant with no dancers and no food, and it was just the worst experience of my life. I wouldn't recommend anybody to go there for anything.
In fact, I totally suggest that they should close down the restaurant. Not to mention how they totally messed up our bill in the end. I give them negative star rating....
First, I am not going to lie the food is amazingly delicious.
Second, its unfortunately a rip off and scam if you don't pay attention. I don't mind paying for great food but it gets a little fishy when you are ordering. I should have known when I tried to order my meal and the waiter quickly snapped on me and said I couldn't order this. He than pointed out that large parties would do best if we all shared these three specific meals. Once he left and we looked at the menu to decide, one of us quickly realized that it would come out to be over $100 dollars a person- you know, just for a taste.
So we each ordered our separate meals with 'a feast'- BIG MISTAKE, don't do it. They charge each person 16 dollars just to have one order consisting of 6 small bowls of dip. FOR JUST 6 SMALL BOWLS OF DIP THEY CHARGED US 86 DOLLARS?
I would say DON'T GO!!! You can find great Moroccan food with less the headache and expense somewhere else.
I WAS LIVID.
Updated as of 06/27/07
Pasha has finally reopened (06/22/07). The food is delicious. The entertaiment is even better. Pasha has opened a lounge too. So if you just want to listen to music and have a drink and/or hookah you will be very welcome. My friends and I love this place and tend to go once a month.
Paha has a live band with belly dancersThursdays through Sundays. One of the best Moroccan restaurants in the Bay Area. Go and check out the new menu and the new management you won't regret it.
That is not a ONE star, that's a MINUS Star below 0 STAR.
Everything was lacking for a dinning experience from the moment we called for a reservation.
We had to wait for a table, although we had a reservation and they had gazillion tables unoccupied!
90% of the patrons looked ethnic and they were weirdly checking out my 12 year old niece.
the food was tasteless, bland and sooo expansive for what it is, and service was slowwwwwww and amateurous.
they seem like they are running scam on site and on yelp. Just look at all these first time 5 stars reviews since the new management took over.
they obviously need some professional help.
If you want some decent Moroccan food in the bay area, go to Tajine on Polk and PINE. Ya Bon on POlk and Sutter. and Casablanca in Redwood City.
Summary: AVOIDDDDDDDDD
Regarding the food, it leaves a lot to be desired.
For parties of three or more, they have so-called 'feast', which includes appetizer plate (fried pita, hummus, falafel, carrot, the whole nine-yards), two/three entrees, and mint tea. I love the honey lamb and the falafel, but it's not worth the price tag (coming up to $30 per person).
Decor is nice with drapes and paintings although lighting is poor (we could barely see what we were eating, especially after the dancing started).
Come here for the belly dancing. Wonderful technique, although my friends complain about the mediterranean music (for those unaccustomed to non-Western music, might be hard to stomach). Birthday persons are asked to come to the front and join the bellydancer.
A potpourri of Middle Eastern, Moroccan, and Turkish dishes is served in a large, tented dining room with red banquettes and colorful hassocks. Dig your fingers into authentically delicious, multi-course feasts compiled from a wide range of traditional entrees, including lamb and chicken kebabs, juicy lamb chops, merquez (a tasty sausage), mouthwatering falafel, tabbouleh, and hummus accompanied by crisply fried pita chips, and bastilla, a slightly sweet, flaky filo pastry layered with chicken and almonds. Rich baklava served with sweet mint tea is the perfect finish. Requisite belly dancers perform to live music, and diners are encouraged to participate. The impeccable service is welcoming and genuinely warm. Anyone looking for a quick, cheap meal should go elsewhere - coming here is committing yourself to an evening's worth of fine dining and entertainment, and you needn't be a tourist to enjoy it.
Ran into the same problem as Rick and Stephanie. Our group of 15 found that our dinner tab was so heavily padded that there is no way it could have been just a mistake. We argued with the management for 15-20 minutes. Finally, we paid what we felt was appropriate and left. Management threatened to call the cops. We told him to go right ahead because he was the one running the scam.
This EVIL middle eastern scam temple IS RUNNING A WELL-OILED CON JOB - STAY AWAY! They lure in big parties of tourists and other suckers, serve you bad food and drinks, and then add some hefty padding to your bill with drinks and appetizers that you either did not get, or were ordered at the bar prior to your party sitting down. Its done in a way that it is not easy to re-construct who's drinks belonged to who - for all I know, our party could have been paying for other parties' drinks, or for drinks that were never served to anyone! A few of us ended up paying $200 each to cover all the alleged costs, and they did not cut us any slack when we complained about the convoluted way that it was tabulated. Do not go here!
UPDATE 8/28:
I got the following email from the new owner of Pasha:
Audrey,
I am the new owner as of 6/22/07 of Pasha Restaurant and I am so sorry to hear about your previous experience. It seems there were quite a few people with the same experience under the previous ownership which is a shame. We have an all new menu and chef featuring Moroccan food with California Cuisine touches and a new bar. We charge $5 for beer, $6 for well cocktails and we replaced all the glass ware, dishes and silverware with a more updated look and to prevent Cosmos and Wine being served in mini glasses as was the case before...I hope you will come back a give Pasha a second chance. We would never try to scam any of our customers because we want them to come back and become repeat guests. In any case it is hard enough starting a new business and trying to get the news out that it is under new ownership without having to deal with the previous owner's failings, so I was wondering if you could remove your review. Since it was a low rating, it is negatively affecting our overall rating and does not reflect our business.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Senhaji, owner
Pasha Restaurant
So I'm changing my rating to 3 stars - but I'm not going to completely alter it until I've been there again...only because there's just no way to know whether the ownership has really changed or not...
************************************************** ********************
6/22/07:
After reading all the reviews of Pasha we went back and looked at our bill and just couldn't make the numbers add up either. Because the dinner was an expensed client event we didn't look all that closely at the time, but looking back there is no way that our prefix meals added up to what the bill said.
And ps. the food was sort of mediocre and the belly dancer wasn't all that........
It's a Middle Eastern restaurant that lends itself to large groups and has decent food however there is a weirdness when it comes to paying the bill. One year, we had a large group there for my birthday. The restaurant insisted that my group pay for all pre-dinner drinks separately at the bar before dinner. This we did not have a problem with. They told us we could not have more than one check - that was fine too. The problem was when the drinks we paid for at the bar before dinner (with cash) appeared on our dinner check and we were forced to pay for them - close to $300. It was the most ridiculous situation. I found out later that the same exact thing had happened to SEVERAL other people I had met. It left a bad taste in my mouth and I have not been back since.
Zero stars in my book. Came here with a big group, 15+ for a Birthday party. The host told us about $40 a head which was ok for a place out in the city. We couldn't order as the staff told the host that with a party our size we had to order a minimum of 4 feasts for the table. So it started with your basic Med fair of hummus, tabouli, and a few other veggie dishes. Then came the feast of very dry and tasteless cubes of bbq meat like sausage, chicken, and lamb. We got half a tiny game hen with some type of sauce on top, honey lamb, a plate of cous cous and a plate of very hard and inedible rice. Quite a many in our group didn't eat lamb so they didn't eat at all. The host had a very small bottle of wine, maybe 2 cocktails for the rest of the table, and my friends and I all had sodas. Then we were served these very very very sweet sticks of dough and a glass of mint tea each.
Of course the Birthday boy got to dance with the belly dancer and everyone was lead down the block and back. All seemed fun, as it was a packed house that night. The belly dancer was quite attractive, I think she said she was a dancer on Broadway after she left the place. The decor was very Taj Mahal-ish, and the service was so-so.
Then the BILL came. Oh my fucking GAWD!!! It was $80 a person, the bill was over a $1000!!!!!! I was thinking how in the world is our bill so high!!!! Supposed initial calculations of 4 feasts would be about $30 a person plus drinks and whatever does not add up to be $50 more. The waiter said we ordered drinks, yea the key word there is drinks. One bottle of wine, one of those mini bottles, that was priced at $40 plus 2 cocktails and like 10 sodas. So even if we paid an outrageous $20 per cocktail and $10 per soda, it still didnt add to $1000!! The bill was undecipherable, none of us could read the guy's handwriting and even the manager who came by couldn't read it. "Supposedly" our waiter wrote our bill and then had to leave and he is the only guy that knows what we ordered. So the host and the other guys argued and argues with the manager for about 20 minutes, we were already late for the club we were all supposed to go to afterwards. The manager decided, much to his dismay, take 10% off the bill and we each ended paying $75 each instead of $80. Really for $75 all of us could have had a huge piece of prime rib at House of Prime down the street. Never again, even if they paid me, will we ever ever go there again.
The nastiest food I have ever tasted! The vegetables and fish were frozen, nothing was fresh. A TV dinner out of a microwave has more potential. Enough said, don't waste your time and money. The food is vile!
if it were possible to give less than a zero, i would. when we got to this place, we were having a good time. the atmosphere was nice. we were a little annoyed that it took 30 minutes for them to bring us dinner menus (we ordered drinks first), but we got over it and enjoyed the morrocan band & belly dancer. they sang happy birthday to our friend and brought a flaming shot "on the house." we get our bill (which was NOT itemized!) and it's $430. our friend originally made a reservation for 12 but only 8 of us showed up. they didn't tell us it would be a problem or that they had some fucked up policy. they just smiled, were friendly, etc.
anyway, when we asked them about the bill, they told us that they charge 20 dollars per person who doesn't show up. even so, there was still a HUGE chunk added on to our bill. even with their $20 per person charge, our bill would have come out to just a little over 200. we tried to reason with them, but they wouldn't change their bill or back down from their "policy." we eventually gave up and left...mostly because it was our friends birthday and she had somewhere to be.
i feel like they shouldn't have gotten away with this. i don't think it's possible for us to get any of that money back, but at least we can warn other people about how shady this restaurant is. don't ever eat here.
I find this place really romantic actually...and very entertaining...love the decor inside, feels like I'm in some other country...the food is great....never paid the bill though (usually bring a date) , so I dont really know what the whole fuss is about...
I've been here for a couple of birthday parties and a work party. Each time we had a great time, but not because of the food. The food kind of tastes like they bought it from the prepared food section of the grocery store. It sucks that the other belly dancing place I know of in the Haight is so BAD for big groups because it's actually a better restaurant w/better entertainment.
Oily, fatty, tasteless food - that's the worst! If i'm going to eat something oily and fatty, it sure as hell better taste sinfully good!!! Am I right, people??? Do they think they can get away with it because of the dim lighting and distracting "entertainment"?? F that. And F the exorbitant prices they think they can charge. STAY AWAY.
Get your passport ready ...cuz it sure feels like you are going on a trip! Okay, so Pasha is not meant for the budgest sensitive but it's an experience. You'll feel like a Sultan/a ...try to go on a weekend night. It's very sad to be there with only 2 or 3 other diners. No matter what ...tell them it's a special occassion. You get to wear a fez and get a belly dance lesson. If you get the meal for two ...there is a huge selection and I've always felt that I've gotten my monies worth.
Terrible. I celebrated a birthday here a couple years ago. That was an embarassing mistake. We made our arrangements for a large party in advance, we were told that everything would go smoothly and not to worry.
When the night came, they were unprepared for our arrival and they treated us like troublemakers since we were all twenty something and not tourists. We were all dressed up, ready to do things up classy, and then they proceeded to ask for one credit card to put the whole party's tab on. 0_o WHAT? No one is going to pay for everybody, some people had just met that night for the first time, we all wanted to pay cash. But they refused us. After going back and forth to the front and chewing out our waitors we finally got them to agree to cash and got some drinks, the food was terrible, the waitors are pervs who give shitty service. The bellydancing was redundant. Never go here, it was an embarassing birthday celebration thanks to Pasha's.
It's true! This place is out to con you! 0 Stars!
I went there for my birthday last year and I had a 50.00 gift certificate I had gotten for Christmas....Even with that, the bill for 2 people was over 250.00!....What the heck! We had some sort of Feast (which was tiny and tasteless) and a few drinks each...Plus we sent a cocktail to another birthday person....Altogether no more than 7 drinks and that with dinner was over 300.00? I think not! I asked to see the bill, but as others have mentioned, there was no deciphering it, and they weren't about to help....They insisted that they had taken the gift certificate off, and that I still needed to tip on it!!! WA WA WHAT?....I felt like I had been mugged! Plus, since we decided to leave before the performance, the waiter reached up while we were debating the bill and tore the nasty birthday fez off my head and exclaimed " This is only for people who dance!"
Walked in one night to check it out. Was unable to get a bartender's attention to get a drink (good thing, apparently they have some sort of drink minimum), and after 5 horror stricken minutes of watching what had to be some sort of senior citizen belly dancing competition (you can only watch a train wreck for so long), decided to immediately proceed to the nearest exit. After reading the many horror stories, I mean reviews, below, I am glad that I got out with my shirt intact.
