Winner: Pasha Mediterranean Grill
Multiple locations
Self-described as “San Antonio’s original Mediterranean grill,” Pasha was formed in 2008 when two families joined forces to create an establishment offering authentic Eastern Mediterranean cuisine in the Tex-Mex capital of the world. Fast-forward to today, and their first Medical Center-area restaurant has blossomed into a thriving homegrown chain. Popular dishes include its gyro plate, joojeh kabob Cornish hen, cranberry rice and sublimely spiced cauliflower florets. The menu is a crowd pleaser, offering both wine and Halal meat. The Turkish word pasha refers to a high-ranking officer, a title akin to knighthood. With a name like that, Pasha’s owners must have known it was destined for greatness from the start. Our readers seem to agree.
