Eden Garden Bar & Grill - Pasadena (CA)

4 /5 Roobik Pro: We went to Eden Garden Bar & Grill last night for my nephew’s birthday, and it turned out to be a really nice place! The outdoor look is beautiful, and the interior is cozy with stone walls and big flowerpots — great for small parties or just a nice dinner out. One cool surprise was the Johnnie Walker bottle on the table with a Squid Game label — I’d never seen that before, pretty unique! Most of the food was good, but one dish was super salty. They had live music and a belly dancer performing to Arabic music. The singer was really good and sang great songs, but the DJ part wasn’t that great — mostly Arabic tracks and not much variety. Overall, we had a fun night and enjoyed the celebration. Would definitely consider going back!

5 /5 Dawn Miller: The best Persian food Ive had. The chef truly knows how to use the spices! Every thing was superb. The menu also has American and Italian choices. The drinks were so good and spot on in balance and flavor. The entertainment was a surprise and so beautiful. Not in your face or inappropriate but lively, fun and graceful. The music was perfect and dancing was on the dance floor and many danced at their tables, old and young alike! Hookah is available as well. We went in for a quick early dinner and drink...ended up staying for 6 hours! Did not want to leave. Service was good but felt forgotten a couple times...quickly remedied. Prices accommodate ALL budgets. This is our new #1 go to restaurant and we will be bringing family and friends as well. Parking structure is right across the street. Just go, you deserve a lovely evening.

5 /5 Mark Kaplan: We went there for a few appetizers and really enjoyed it. The Vegetable Tempura is lightly breaded, perfectly cooked, and comes with sweet chili or ranch dipping sauce. The Makousa tastes like stuffed olives, and is quite refreshing. The Baklava is the best I have ever eaten. While there are limited choices for vegans, the service was excellent and the ambience relaxing and comfortable. There is also a well-shaded outdoor patio.

1 /5 Mariam Leylekyan: I visited Eden Garden on October 24th with high expectations, but I left disappointed. The restaurant was only half full, yet it took nearly 3 hours to receive our main course. When the food arrived, it was 11:00 pm. We were ready to leave. Who eats food at 11:00 pm. We were at the restaurant at 8:00 pm and people who came after us got served with main course. I politely mentioned it to our server, she said our food is coming. We asked her after 10 minutes she said the food is coming after 30 minutes. We decided to leave the restaurant. We had conversation with the restaurant manager. She didn’t care. We spoke with the owner of the restaurant he didn’t care either. They said they have set menu $75 for each person. We were two people. We told them we are going to pay for our sides only. They overcharged us for only sides and two drinks. They added 20% service charge. I was not going to pay service charge for bad service but they charged us anyways. Nor the manager or the owner offer anything for bad service. The only positive was the cozy atmosphere, but overall the poor service ruined the experience and my night. I hope the management addresses these issues. I will not go back to this place ever again. For now, I wouldn’t recommend it.
