For an exotic experience unlike anything else in tropical Singapore, dine at Pasha, where the warm ambience invites you to experience the culture of faraway Morocco. Located in a beautiful shophouse in the bohemian area of Kampong Glam, Pasha serves Moroccan cuisine in a multi-concept space which includes a restaurant, bistro, bar, and VIP section. The restaurant's palatial ambience includes sweeping arches and pillars, intricate light fixtures that seem like something you'd unearth at a Moroccan bazzar, and soft velvet upholstery.

With the sweet sounds of Moroccan music humming in the background, the welcoming staff will treat you like royalty, serving food flavoured with exotic spices that will tantalize your taste buds. Enjoy authentic Moroccon dishes like couscous, a variety of tajines (traditional spiced stews cooked in an earthenware dish), and mezzes (a collection of light appetizers). After dark, head upstairs to the al fresco area where you can lounge in your very own private gazebo and gaze at the stars.

It's only after you step out of Pasha's regal doors that you realise you had been in Singapore all along.

"The charming alfresco bar is reason enough; it's also nice to have an upscale dining option in the area serving up authentic Moroccan fare." -I-S Asia-City

"An original and innovative modern Moroccan venue that replicates the look and feel of an oriental den. Pasha offers intimate exclusivity, exotic ambience, and stylish sophistication in an utterly tranquil yet trendy setting - an ideal destination to visit at the end of each day." -Great New Places

Here is a place where you can escape your troubles and enjoy an elegant night out with friends or impress your all-important date.

Start off with the hot Pasha mezze plate and let the native Moroccan chef, Said Ibrahimi, surprise you with his selection for the day. The spinach cake, sabanekh, is simply sublime. Moroccan food is heavily influenced by the surrounding Mediterranean countries of Cyprus, Spain, and Italy, so do not be surprised when you find olives or tomato sauce in the many tajines that are on offer! For the main course, try the beef kefta tajine, which consists of meatballs in tomato gravy and topped with a fried egg. If you are keen on something sweet, the walnut cake with fig and honey ice cream could be right up your alley. Wash it all down with a refreshing pot of hot mint tea that is so calming, you will want to snuggle up on one those plush Moroccan pillows.

For those looking for a truly unique dining experience, head down to Pasha on a Friday night where a belly dancer will attempt to sashay her way into your heart as you enjoy your meal in the al fresco area, out among the stars. And for those eager to learn more about Moroccan food and its rich heritage, Chef Said will be more than happy to share his experiences and might even give you a taste of the spices he brought back from Morocco!

"Pasha, a Moroccan restaurant and rooftop bar in Kampong Glam's whitewashed boutique hotel The Sultan, is about as close to the medina as you can get in Singapore. Set up by Lamine Guendil, the Frenchman born in northern Africa who previously helmed Club Street's successful Senso Ristorante & Bar and Spizza, it's a heady mix of sensual Moroccan decadence and white-tablecloth fine-dining. It's surely the plushest Moroccan restaurant in town, even if there's not much competition..." -Time Out Singapore (click here for full article)
