Pasha's Mediterranean Cuisine - South Beach, Brickell, Design District

Pasha’s serves natural Mediterranean cuisine and is one of the healthiest restaurants in Brickell Miami. They have a great menu dedicated to all dieters. All of the ingredients in their meals are natural and their food contains no trans fat, additives, preservatives or msg. Try smoothies such as the Mango Lassi and the Peanut Butter Cup. Pasha also offers catering services to parties, corporate gatherings and other types of events upon request.
The menu has something for everyone, from fresh salads, soups, wraps, and filling platters with rice, veggies, and flavorful grilled meats.  On my most recent visit, I ordered my usual - Choban salad topped with chicken shish kebab skewers and a whole wheat pita on the side.  The salad consists of tomato, cucumber, bell peppers, onions, and Kalamata olives, marinated in heart healthy extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean herbs. For an extra charge I added Feta cheese and the Shish Kebab Skewers (charbroiled marinated chicken breast chunks with grilled peppers and onions).  You can also top the salad with Vegetarian Falafel, Beef, or Salmon kebabs.  Other dishes worth mentioning are the lentil soup, tabbouleh, and spinach borek (flaky pastry with spinach and cheese filling).

In 2004 Dr. Arthur Agatston published its successful South Beach Diet Cook Book with recipes from a select handful upscale restaurants from New York and Miami.  Pasha’s is the only fast casual restaurant to be part of this selection.  The book which became a New York Times Best Seller with over 3 million books sold worldwide proclaimed “Pasha’s serves healthy and delicious Mediterranean food, proving once again the two are never mutually exclusive”
