PASHA Lounge
Quick info
About PASHA Lounge
A separate shisha lounge sits at the back of PASHA Lounge, a Turkish restaurant on Gloucester Rd in Bristol, with the hookah area kept apart from the space where food is served. The shisha list runs to named blends including Berlin Nights and Monro. In the kitchen, dishes are cooked fresh and made from scratch to order, among them burek pastries, lahmacun, and lentil soup served with bread and salad. The cooking is halal, and the drinks list is non-alcoholic, with Turkish tea and Turkish coffee alongside it. The layout suits groups settling in together over food and shisha, and outdoor seats give the option of eating outside. The place also works as a cafe, dessert shop and patisserie. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended. The premises have been through renovations.

Customer Review Summary
Shisha is the draw that runs through nearly every account, described as smooth and flavourful, with one regular naming Berlin Nights and Monro as personal favourites among a range they say holds up across everything tried. Close behind is food made fresh on site, and reviewers name it specifically: the burek pastries, which one lunchtime visitor rates as good as any eaten on holiday, the lahmacun, called perfect by another, and a lentil soup served with twisted bread and salad. Turkish tea and coffee come up too, alongside the observation that the drinks list is non alcoholic. Several describe the staff as friendly and one visitor from further afield says a knowledgeable host made the group feel at home enough to return repeatedly with a larger party. Multiple reviewers expressly recommend the place for relaxing with friends after work, and more than one notes that the shisha area sits separately from the dining space, plus mentions of recent renovations.
