If you’re looking for glamour and oriental opulence, Pasha is likely to fulfil all your fantasies. The restaurant glisters like no other. Diners pass through the heavy wooden door into a rich red and copper-hued wonderland, full of beguiling, kitsch-free artisanship. It’s so sexy, we’d defy any date not to smoulder here. The place does get noisy, though, once larger groups arrive and the belly dancers get going, so save sweet nothings for later. There’s a slightly bewildering variety of set meals, even the most modest of which is substantial – two meze and a main course each. Elegantly spiced minced scallop and red pepper briouat and feather-light courgette fritters really set the taste buds singing, but beware the viciously vinegary beetroot salad. Main courses were absolute stunners: seafood tagine full of voluptuous prawns, scallops and mussels (but, strangely, served with neither bread nor couscous to mop up the juices); and chargrilled chicken breast couscous, artfully presented with separate bowls of vegetable broth, harissa and sweet sultanas. Mint tea arrived with a delicately wrought, towering cake stand full of sweetmeats and pastries. It’s all pretty pricey, but when did gorgeousness ever come cheap?
