Story

Lamps, the grill and the Turk.

Pasha at 25 Đông Du, District 1 — a strictly halal Turkish grill run by its Turkish owner: 4.2 stars from 873 Google reviews, open daily 11:00–24:00.

The owner

A hands-on Turkish owner

Pasha is Turkish-owned and personally run — an Ottoman-inspired menu (mixed grill, manti, hummus, kunefe) cooked the way the owner's own table eats.

The room

The lamp-lit room

Exposed brick, hanging mosaic lamps in crimson and teal, leather booths and a painted harem-style mural — a group-friendly long room with a street-facing window onto Đông Du.

Halal

Strictly halal

No compromises: the grill is strictly halal, so every skewer and köfte on the table is one everyone can share.

The coffee

Turkish coffee, brass tray

Finish the way the room intends: Turkish coffee in a patterned cup on a brass tray, with Turkish delight on the side — the copper cezve is part of the house rhythm.
