So glad I finally got to try this place everyone raves about! Just had your mezze platter & baklava for dessert and I feel like I've died and gone to Turkish food heaven 😃
Absolutely brilliant meal. We were only in town for marchfest but we popped in on the friday night and got the chefs special platter for two. Very filling and delicious meal. A+ out of ten will eat there again when I nwxt visit Nelson.
Pleasantly surprised, can across this by accident. Service was great, everyone smiling and attentive. Food portions much bigger than expected. There is small and large sizes and the small is like a normal meal, the large is huge. Lots of meat. If you choose combination meats it is the same price, some places charge you extra even though it's the same amount of meat. Salads and overall meal very tasty. Only disappointment was I got a combination falafel and lamb kebab, there was heaps of lamb but only one falafel? Overall good quality food and bang for buck. Would definitely make this my regular if I lived here
A welcoming and warm experience as soon as I entered the door.
Easily the widest selection of dishes I've ever seen at a Turkish restaurant. I just had to try the inviting lamb shishkebab.
I ordered the large and it's generous size and taste did not disappoint!
The lamb was mildly charred as advertised and came with a good selection of salads and sauces.
The service was exceptional too. I can't wait to come back and try so many other dishes!
Really tasty, fresh food!! Great value, great service. We come here every time we go to Nelson. I had the falafel kebab - the falafel was nice and moist, with a bit of spice to it.
Absolutely delicious food! I will definitely be going there again :) I really recommend this place, best Turkish food I have had yet! Check it out :)
We bought the platter for 4 takeaway and it was a feast! Rice, pasta, couscous, 4 different types of meat, and heaps of sides. And all for $60.

We visited this restaurant for dinner. The owner was really nice and friendly.We ordered mixed kebab - take away. The kebabs were tasty - juicy, soft and flavorful.I would highly recommend this place while you visit Nelson.We will visit this place next time when we are in Nelson.
Best Turkish food in all of Nelson is served here... Great service.. the owner of the place is really good to talk to... I had pasha special... Super delicious... Filled with a lot of lamb meat... Totally recommended...
So me and my friend were looking for an indian restaurant, which were closed as it was past 2pm. Guess where did we landed? Yep, at Paasha!
I must say that I enjoyed every bite of my meal.
It was fairly priced and the staff was so good and welcoming. I will be returning here again when I visit Nelson next time.
NO COMPLAINTS!
I would definitely recommend Paasha to anyone who is looking for a place to eat some delicious food.
The best and freshest Turkish I've ever had. Friendly and fast service too. All at great prices - the small salad for $13 is insane value. Will definitely be back and if you're in town go here!
Absolutely fantastic! The best Turkish in the top of the south, so authentic and deliciously fresh. Such a great atmosphere for a little place. Best hospitality from the owner and staff every time I've been here. 100% recommend a sit down in stead of takeaway
Amazing food, and good service. Friendly owner. Best meal I've had since leaving London!
Be sure to try this place if you love Turkish food.! I'll be coming back in the future for sure.
Amazing food, good prices and very friendly and accommodating staff. We turned up as a group of 10 unannounced, and they were able to rearrange tables and seat us with no problems. As a bonus, our food was also ready very quickly!
Had dinner here 2 nights in a row. The food was cooked to perfection and really tasty. The servings were of a good size and the staff were fantastic. Would definitely recommend you try this place out .
Great food, exactly what I wanted.
Got a large mixed salad box with fries to take away. Fries were standard fast food fare, but well cooked and salted.
The meat in the box was great, again not too salty. The salad components were nice and fresh as well. Portion size was generous.
Definitely has gone on my list of regular food options in Nelson!
Ordered the paasha mixed grill. Flavour was fantastic, would give 5 star but the chicken was undercooked.Had to purchase extra rice which was pricey at $4. The amount of rice was too little for the amount of meat on the plate. Good amount of meat for the price. Absolutely wonderful service.
Best meal we've had in New Zealand in over a week. Lovely family business, serving fresh & delicious food. Take your tastebuds on an adventure away from the typical kebab. Scrumptious baklava too. Nelson locals are so lucky to have this place on their doorstep. Update: even though we spent only 2 nights in Nelson, we happily ate at Nysa's both nights, as their food is so good & there's nothing like it where we're from.
Very authentic kebab and salad. Wait staff was super friendly and food was served super quick. Reasonable price with large portion, the sauces are tasty and meat were plentiful. Can't recommend the food enough!! Only disappointment was when we were there on last Sunday for our second round, shop was closed on short notice. Might need to travel all the way from Auckland to Nelson to eat it again 😅
The only real Turkish kebab restaurant and food all over New Zealand owned by a Turkish family. Meat and dish quality are the same as high standard in Turkey. Shish kebab was extremely delicious and a big portion. The meat doner kebab is real, not the sausage kind other restaurants call “Turkish”. Baklava is authentic. Highly recommend.
This has become my favourite place to eat out in Nelson. The food is always fresh and delicious (the dolma are heavenly!), and the service is always excellent. The food is very reasonably priced for the portion and taste, and they are able to cater to coeliacs.
Make sure to get an apple tea with your meal and you'll leave happy!
Great food, freshly prepared in front of you. I can see why it's so popular - we ate in and there was a constant stream of people eating in and buying takeaways . Highly Recommended.
