Paasha Dunedin is a Turkish cafe and restaurant that brings Mediterranean flavours and fresh local ingredients together in the heart of the city. Lunch, dinner and takeaway each have their own menu at the St Andrew Street premises, and catering extends the same food to functions. All meat is halal, while the balance of grilled meats, salads, pulses and vegetables gives mixed groups several substantial paths through the meal.

A spread of starters shows the kitchen's character before the grill takes over. Hummus combines chickpeas and tahini with lemon, garlic and oil, and can be joined by olive tapenade and cacik in a breads-and-dips selection. Muska boregi encloses feta, parsley, egg and spice in crisp filo pockets, while yaprak dolma wraps seasoned rice in vine leaves. Mititi kofta brings minced lamb, peppers, onion and parsley to the chargrill, finished with garlic yoghurt.

The main menu is divided between the open spit and the charcoal fire. Chicken doner uses marinated breast and thigh, while lamb doner is lightly spiced and double-minced. Shish options put lamb tenderloin, chicken or herb-seasoned kofta directly over charcoal; pilic and shaslik add peppers and onion to skewers of chicken or lamb. Diners who want to compare those preparations can choose a mixed grill or the larger shared platter, which gathers all three shish, both doner meats and an array of accompaniments over rice.

Vegetarian dishes are integral to the menu rather than simple substitutions. Falafel comes with a pumpkin, carrot and feta fritter, vegetable shish takes mushrooms, tomato, peppers and onion to the grill, and mixed salad or mezze plates combine dips, olives and dolma. Garlic yoghurt, tahini, Turkish chilli and a tomato-and-red-wine Halep sauce allow each plate to take a different direction. Toasted wraps and takeaway kebabs make the same flavours portable, while the shared platters remain the best expression of the restaurant's communal style.
