In a paragraph

Pars Kahve is the family-run Turkish restaurant and bazaar on Watergate Row, useful for kahvalti, mezze, Turkish coffee, baklava, covered terrace seating, family visits and dog-friendly daytime plans.

What it's like

Pars Kahve has one of the clearer identities in the centre: Turkish breakfast, home-style lunches, mezze, grills, coffee, tea, baklava, bazaar bits and a covered Row terrace.

Turkish cafe warmth on the Rows

It feels warm rather than slick. That is a compliment. Use it when you want flavour and personality in the middle of town, not another lunch stop that could have been assembled by committee.

Worth knowing

Pars Kahve is strongest when you lean into what makes it different: Turkish breakfast, mezze, coffee, terrace and warmth. If you want generic brunch with no personality, Chester can supply that elsewhere.
