Labbaik And Takeaway - Exeter

Delicious food and dishes, however it seems permanently closed. How could we order?

You’re not spoilt for choice of places to eat in Exeter – but Pasha on South Street turned out to combine great food with excellent value. On a recent visit, and looking for something a little different, we headed away from the chain stores of Princesshay and the High Street and happened upon this ‘authentic Turkish restaurant’. Lured in by the lunch-time set menu offer (two courses for £10.90, three for £13.90, available from 12 noon to 5pm), we were instantly greeted by a waiter who gave us our pick of the tables and promptly brought over menus. There weren’t many other customers but this was a welcoming, warm and cheerful venue with low-level Turkish music as background. For starters we chose hummus with flatbread, and a Greek salad (the cross over between Turkish and Greek cuisine was obvious from the number of ingredients they have in common), with a pot of mint tea to share. Those quickly arrived, very tasty and refreshing, and then the mains were brought over – I had lamb kebab with bulghur wheat while my partner had moussaka with chips. Everything was obviously freshly prepared and delicious – the lamb was well spiced and succulent, while the moussaka was a cut above the ordinary. The service was excellent, the waiter friendly and helpful, and the meal was completed with Turkish delight and Turkish coffee on the house. All in all, a great value lunch for under £25 – highly recommended if you want something that’s a class above the High Street chains that predominate in the more touristy areas.

Excellent food and reasonable prices. We had a late lunch at 3.30 and they offered us their lunch menu. We had the roast lamb, Mousakka and chicken ktikka. Tea n coffee were free!

We had a lovely family dinner during our stay in Devon. We had a large family (approx 26 people) and Labbaik were very accommodating ensuring there was enough seats and tables to fit all of us. The quality of the food was lovely and really enjoyed the different Karahi and mixed grill. The waitress in particular was very sweet and ensuring we had everything we needed. Not sure if the restaurant is used to accommodating for that many people which made it even more special! Thank you again.

Me and my partner went for a meal this evening at pashas and we were very surprised the quality of food it was amazing and the flavours were cooked very well, pasha has been let down by having many business owners and chefs but this time round 5 stars! Me and my partner both with Türkish backgrounds find it hard to find somewhere to eat that does the turkish cuisine very well! Lovely atmosphere lovely food and lovely staff well done.
