Pasha Restaurant in Newtown offers a delightful Turkish dining experience, characterized by its warm atmosphere and generous portions at affordable prices. However, there are some accessibility considerations to keep in mind.

The entrance features a step that is at least 5 cm high, which can be challenging for those who require assistance. The threshold is also quite narrow, so help may be needed to navigate through the entrance. Once inside, the restaurant is spacious, providing ample room to move around comfortably. At the center of the venue, you'll find a beautiful vault designed in a traditional Turkish style, adding to the restaurant's charm.

While the food at Pasha is incredible, and the atmosphere inviting, accessibility issues do arise when it comes to the restrooms. They are located at the back of the venue, requiring guests to navigate a step and a particularly narrow passageway to reach them. Additionally, there are no designated handicap-accessible toilets, which may pose challenges for some guests.

Overall, while Pasha offers a wonderful dining experience, it's important for those with mobility challenges to consider these factors when planning their visit.
