Pasha's Restaurant Review:


The innovative Miami-based mini-chain, which began well over a dozen years ago as a Harvard Business school MBA project, offers a glimpse into what the world of fast food could be like if only the foods were as tasty, fresh ingredient-driven, and healthy as they were fast. Creative light bites and heartier entrées, inspired by Eastern Mediterranean cuisines but not actually from those countries, are served in either simple self-service or more comfortable full-service settings appropriate to their neighborhoods and/or venues in which they’re housed. Food comes nearly as quickly as at greasy burger or Tex-Mex chains, but contains no preservatives, MSG or trans fats. For breakfast, we like the “eggselent wraps”; try the one with scrambled eggs plus savory chicken breast sausage, onions, tomatoes, green pepper, Mediterranean cheese and spicy harissa sauce. For lunch or dinner, consider filet mignon with vegetables wraps with cheese or aïoli; and pides, individual boat-shaped flatbread pizzas with thin crusts and a variety of toppings. Desserts like the walnut-studded nutelino (a less cloyingly sweet version of baklava) are a treat, as are fresh-squeezed juices, especially tangerine.
