Fat Pasha sits adjacent to the railroad tracks on the northern edge of the Annex, in the former home of long-time neighbourhood staple, Indian Rice Factory. Sometimes people will wander in unaware of the business change—certain elements of the old restaurant, like its iconic back patio koi pond, have remained—but it doesn't take long to figure out that there's a new kid on the block.

“The Grateful Dead is always on,” says the restaurant's front-of-house manager Kathleen Shattock as she gestures to the mural behind her, which features a fez-clad figure with a more-than-passing resemblance to Jerry Garcia against a background of iconic Middle Eastern vignettes rendered in a puff of hookah smoke. Another mural on the building's exterior wall shows the same husky fellow parting the red sea.

The mural sums up Fat Pasha's concept: Old-school Middle Eastern cuisine with a rock-and-roll twist.

This particular fusion is personal for owner Anthony Rose, who is both Jewish and a total Deadhead. As Kathleen puts it, his vision for Fat Pasha was to blend creative Middle Eastern culinary stylings reminiscent of Israeli-born chef Yotam Ottolenghi with “Jewish grandmother food” such as latkes, lox and brisket.

As for the rock-and-roll? Well, that part just comes naturally. “We like having loud and ruckus atmospheres and having a lot of fun doing what we do,” says Kathleen.

    Fat Pasha never disappoints. I would always go back. Order their big platter and Linda’s brisket ( you won’t be able to finish it all ). Portions are good sized and the atmosphere is very chilled out. 👍🏽

    Delicious food, wonderful service and a really cool vibe! It felt very warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The staff were friendly and positive with each other which created a family oriented feel. Our waitress was knowledgeable, attentive and helpful when we wanted advice on what to order. We will definitely be back to check out the heated patio!

    They crammed the tables side by side like sardines on Valentine’s Day. We were basically listening to each others conversations on both sides the entire time and it was extremely distracting. It would have been nice if they have removed even one 2 top to make a little more room as the tables were basically touching each other.

    Had heard a lot about Fat Pasha from friends. Front of house was not hugely friendly when we arrived. Seemed annoyed we were early. Food and drinks were very good, but overpriced in my opinion. Wait staff at the table were very friendly and helpful.

    We were served great food, of course, but our service not so. We arrived at 5:30 and 5:35 for our 5:30 reservation and our main courses arrived at 5:45 and 5:50. At 6:45, we were told to finish everything b/c the table was booked for 7:00. Our server kindly offered another table with no guarantee, but it was right at the door on a windy night. Maybe giving customers a 2-hr eating period like all other restaurants can help fat pasha with their service …

    It was a great experience! We had a wonderful server, good food, and a great time. I would highly recommend this place. I recommend getting the appetizer platter it was a good portion and it was great to get to try everything. The only thing was that the restaurant is very tightly packed. Tables are very close together which makes getting in and out a ltitle tricky and awkward.

    Falafel, shakshuka, a whole head of cauliflower and a mint tea. Is there anything that sounds more tantalizing than brunch at Fat Pasha? This Dupont Street establishment has a developed a great rep for serving up one of the city’s best Mediterranean dinners, and the brunch is on point too. The back patio is great for groups, and don’t forget to order a round of labneh for the table to start.

    Located on the Northeast corner of Dupont and Howland, Fat Pasha is a funky, family-friendly restaurant that serves what they refer to as “good Jew food.” Popular menu items include the Montreal steak-spiced flat iron (served with barbarian butter), the latke platter and the Babka bread pudding for dessert – although Instagrammers tend to swoon for the colourful and now-infamous cauliflower dish. Their back patio has the feel of a warm, secluded courtyard, and is stocked with gorgeous wooden benches and tables, making it the ideal place for an outdoor summer gathering.
