Fat Pasha

What is Fat Pasha? Anchoring a stretch of Dupont Street in the Annex, Fat Pasha is chef Anthony Rose’s energetic celebration of Ashkenazi comfort fare and Middle Eastern mezze. The dining room balances a rustic, lived-in feel with psychedelic wall art and a buzzing bar counter, while the leafy, fenced-in backyard patio is one of Midtown's most relaxed open-air perches.

Fat Pasha Menu & What to Order The undisputed table staple is the whole roasted cauliflower, draped in tahini, fiery skhug, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pine nuts. Start off with the salatim platter—a massive spread featuring silky classic hummus, garlic labneh crowned with charred tomatoes, smoky baba ganoush, and piping-hot pita. Carnivores should zero in on the chicken shawarma and the rich chopped liver with onions, while vegetarians and vegans will find plenty of bold, vegetable-forward options across the menu.

Know Before You Go Tables pack out rapidly on prime evenings and for weekend brunch, so booking ahead via OpenTable is strongly advised if you want to bypass long waits. Fat Pasha sits just a short walk west of Dupont subway station, with metered street parking available along Dupont Street. The kitchen runs nightly for dinner from 5:00 p.m. onwards, alongside dedicated midday brunch services on Saturdays and Sundays.
