This was a great find! We were just walking by and happened upon this place for dinner. It was around 5:30 and they were able to seat us without a reservation. The food was delicious and the courtyard has a great atmosphere. Heaters and enjoyable music. Highly recommend for Mediterranean cuisine in Pasadena!

Reservations on weekends are a must! The hosts were kind and accommodating which allowed my group to visit over the weekend. They served a pre fixed menu for $45/pp which was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and consisted of many items I hadnt ordered before. Glad we tried them- it was worth it. The patio was decorated beautifully and they had a DJ and belly dancer. We had a truly wonderful time.

Great place to hang out. The my have really good tasting food, large patio to gather, very attentive staff. I recommend it to any one looking for a place to enjoy a night out with friends/family

This place is a gem!Great vibe, amazing staff, and the best food.When we have special occasions to celebrate, we always pick this spot because it never disappoints.Valet available, and theres ample secure parking across the street.When you walk in, you get greeted right away. We like the outdoor/patio seating because we smoke hookah. They are pretty quick with the hookah when you order.Food is excellent, a huge variety of appetizers (mezzah). Waiters are very attentive and efficient.The ambiance is great, they always have a dj and belly dancers on Friday nights, great vibes.If you come here, you will have a great time.

Poor air circulation for such a big venue and for howuch they pack the the tables in! Was cool outside but a hot mess inside. The tables are too narrow for the amount of food they brought out! 1 wider tables would made all the difference for our group of 12! But then theyd have 1 less row & make less $$$ 😖😜 But wed all be soOoooo much happier. Only the vegetarian options were good. All meats dry but Chkn super dry!! 🤬. Even the rice that came w meats was bland & dry :( good thing there was a belly dancer & lots of wine & champagne.Will not go there again on purpose 💥

This place is doubtless one of the most attractive place in the neighborhood. Every time I come to this place I am highly pleased. They maintain their high level service and the highest level of meals they offer. You surely will enjoy this this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

Friday, there is a set menu for $40 with too much food that is all delicious! There is belly dancing (very good belly dancing) and live music! It is really fun and quite busy. I highly recommend it!

Perfect location close to Metro. Hookah and meal for two was perfect

Eden Garden Bar & Grill is a classic style restaurant with Mediterranean & Californian cuisine at Pasadena, on weekends they have DJ and different types of music by which everyone can dance and also they have belly dancing which is so beautiful and entertaining. They have also hookah and outdoor seating that is mostly used by hookah smokers. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Extreme hot need mor fan and bigger ACI left the place earlier because of heat not happy

Cannot go wrong with this place. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a couple of entrees and everything was delicious. My favorite local Lebanese food. Highly recommend it.

Service was excellent, everyone at my party love the food, and they were able to accommodate us at the last minute after the other restaurant pulled out at the last minute. Highly recommend!

Arrived at the restaurant when it was just beginning to open, which was a good thing because we were able to sit in the outside area which is really nice. I had the lamb chops and a spinach salad. The salad was huge and delicious. It had a lemon vinaigrette - very yummy and bright. A perfect compliment for lamb. The chops were tender and the quantity was perfect. Topped it off with bread pudding that was amazing!Everything was reasonably priced.There is a parking structure right across the street. You cannot get your ticket validated so you will have to pay for parking at $2 an hour which is not that big of a deal if youre just there for a meal.I was told theres quite a bit of entertainment and a festive atmosphere later in the evening. You should check it out!

Attended a bachelorette party here. Friendly staff but non-intrusive. They kept magically appearing with more food that was amazing and delicious. A perfect venue ❤️Oops, I was enjoying myself too much....no pics of the food 🙈

Our first time at this place was last Sunday everything about this place is above 5 stars food and dessert so delicious, perfect hookah, great service and very nice people around . The owner has great hospitality skills and very nice atmosphere in 200 years old historic building. We had a great time. we will be back for sure soon.

Went there on a quiet wednesday, our waiter was Anes (I believe that was his name) and he was super friendly and helped us choose the best dishes on the menu. Great place for vegetarians!The baklava is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! We also loved the ashta with honey.Will definitely come back soon :)

2 suggestions to the owner( Hire a professional chief)I know reality hurts and sorry about that.Food is sub-par, bland and over priced(Fix your layout ) table setup is a chaotic

Great place for a little date night. Food is great, try the hummus. Great atmosphere, seating was great, drinks were every 8 minutes as requested

Great spot to enjoy a great dinner and music

I’ve been the DJ here, along with others a bunch of times now. It’s always a good vibe. If you haven’t been here lately, you probably haven’t seen the new inside layout. It’s a much nicer setup. The staff is really friendly and easy to work with. Food is top notch. And the DJs cater to the guests that night. Usually it’s a mixture of American, Arabic, Armenian, Persian and Spanish guests. There is an inside and an outside section for seating. The outside patio seems the more popular of the two. Parking is fairly easy. There is a structure across the street as well as valet parking.

34$ hookah, horrible grill, couple of (appetizesr) prepared by a handyman, basicaly what you pay for is as a charity donation to the restaurant not for the food they serve, skip this place its a nightmare

Had a great meal, service and live entertainment. Looking forward to going back.

This was second time I was there also I think would be last time, same as the first time the service was awful we were 14 persons, the waiter forgot to get drink order for some of us and brought one order by mistake (lamb shish kebob instead of lamb kebob), as usual they served pita bread and butter so they brought it very late during the lunch serving time and it was completely clear they re-warm warmed pitas, so for this type of service they charged for service on the bill. Regarding the foods all foods were very salty specially kefta and lamb kebobs I think they tried to change the taste of low quality of meat under salt and spices, rice was very oily, greasy and non fresh look like the cooked on too much oil, the lamb shank was not fresh as my experience it was re warmed and cooked at least one day ago because the meat was darker than of fresh cooked meat, the chicken kebob and lamb kebob also were so salty and should chew more time for eating, may be the only good thing there, were the garnish and garlic deep sauce, so about the prices depend on the foods were higher than of other places those provide the same foods, may be they collected some customers cause of providing hooka and live music and belly dancer in the weekends but what I saw on Friday lunch time except us only two other table were occupied it seems the restaurant does not have much prosperity, by the way it would be better than one time the manager and business owner go to the Armenian-Persian or Persian restaurants like Raffi place, Shiraz, Shamshiri, Nerses and Sadaf and try the same foods and figure out how to tenderize, marinate and cook rice, kefta kebob, chicken kebob, lamb shank, lamb kebob and...

Wow I had my bday on Friday this place is amazing great food love the music Ali and Johanna great customer service

Authentic food, great service, full bar, and hookah!Go with friends and get the Mezas and share so you can sample everythingKibbeh and grape leaves like my family used to make.

So much fun, good customer service worth for spend time and have good time

I swear, Pasadena is filled with hidden gems, & I discover them all of the time! Ive caught the Gold Line train @ the Memorial Park station regularly & never even noticed this place until last night! Had dinner with my friends & it was delicious! (I love good Mediterranean food! Their baba ganoush was super flavorful!) Service was excellent & the waiters were sooo handsome! 😍 Plus, they have free live entertainment & great music! (Besides the free eye candy 😅 👀🍬) Will def go again!

Great location, friendly manager and staff, good food and lots of fun!

Was fantastic, my food was superb. I had filet mignon burger and was really delicious 😋

Very good Mediterranean food with a pretty lively atmosphere. Popular location for large private parties with both a large patio and indoor area. Service was prompt and friendly with a menu containing all the traditional Greek and Mediterranean favorites.

Excellent service, great food. Celebrated our daughters bday there tonight. Very friendly staff, best falafel I ever had. Impressive.

Had a great time

Great food!! Friendly sraff..nice ambience.

Great selection of burgers salads and dogs. Priced fair, great flavor. Convenient location, lots of parking.One thing they dont do is ask how you want your meat cooked. I prefer medium, mine was more medium well. Onion rings are crunchy without being over cooked. Casual place with beer and wine selection.

Everything was good except the mandatory gratuity

This is family and youll be welcomed the same

Outstanding service, delicious food, wonderful staff. DJ played various multilingual, entertaining music - loved it and cant wait to come back post Covid!

I was there for a wedding and they did a great job at the venue. Not sure if the food was from an outside caterer or if it was from the restaurant kitchen. Either way, it was a very nice with a great atmosphere. The patio gave fresh air but was heated as the weather was a bit cool that day. The place was clean and seemed to be quite accommodating to the bride and grooms requests. Good spot!

Food was excellent and good service...

Its always hard to find a location big enough, but not a ballroom. Enough staff, but not too expensive. Room to have entertainment, but not a warehouse. And... With wonderful Mediterranean food. Eden Garden is a hit and an amazing place to celebrate or simply share food with friends. And, the weekend vibe with belly dancing is simply icing on the cake. Loved it!

Great food and atmosphere!! Excellent customer service!

We did not eat here, we actually came to have a beer or two and hit the hookahs. The staff is very accommodating and polite. The Lebanese beer was quite nice but it was the hookah that was most impressive.I have never smoked in my entire life, nor am I tempted, but this, THIS is different. Smooth, flavorful selections of tobacco (we had watermelon, kiwi, and orange/mint. I do not know how to explain it, but its just relaxing and enjoyable.I cannot provide a comparison to differentiate them from any other hookah bar, but I was very impressed, and this is coming from.a non-smoker.

My co worker had her Bridal shower her it was amazing

Beautiful swanky lounge. Exactly what youd expect from a nice Pasadena, bar. It was busy enough on a Wednesday night but we still found a table. Their tea infused vodka is a must try!

I went there once for a late lunch. No other customer was there. The owner was working on the register. I told him I was hungry and wanted something quick. He suggested something that I cant remember but was really good. Then he took care of me with the best customer service service. This place deserves a 5 star.

Went here for the first time with my girlfriend and we had just ordered a bunch of appetizers for dinner and loved every one! Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. The hummus sampler specifically was awesome.

The food is constantly well prepared and tasty, staff members gives excellent customer service. I liked how clean it is and vibes. I highly recommend this place.

Super tasty food, everything was made with quality ingredients and a special touch. The DJ was good, so we danced and enjoyed the belly dancer. The cocktails were great and my friends were enjoying smoking their hookah . Paid 11$ (+ $4 tip) for valet parking, $20 for pictures so be prepared with extra cash for all those things, tips for belly dancer, etc.

Eden Garden is a wonderful location, and the covered patio was beautiful. Great food and a nice selection. Incredible staff and service. Reasonable prices. We had a large group, with only a couple of hours notice, and they graciously accommodated us, including separate checks.

Great place

This is our “backyard” we frequent this place so often it feels like our back yard. Good food, great employees, good atmosphere. Great for large group get togethers and parties any time of day.

Nice atmosphere and descent decor. This place is good for parties and large size group events (about 90 to 100 comfortably). Food quality is good but nothing crazy special. The amount of food you get for the price could be better (that depends on the plate you order, the type of sides, how busy they are, and who’s prepping your plates)

Great food quality. Top of the line service and entertainment. Outdoor section is not good for kids.. Good for large groups. Has outside seating.

Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Great entertainment. Delicious food. Highly recommended.

Fun place for food. Dancing everyone. Definitely works off the meal. Belly dancer entertaining. Valet expensive.

Great place in Pasadena for some Mediterranean food, drinks, and hookah!We came for a friends birthday with a group of roughly 16 people. Since our group was this big, we had to do a set menu. It was either $35 or $45 per person. We went for the $35 option and the food was still pretty good.Whats cool about this place is that they have Live Belly Dancers who come around and dance with each individual person as well.They have valet parking at the front but I recommend parking across the street at the structure for $5.

Outside of slow service, its pretty good. Good selection of yummy Mediterranean dishes and the outdoor seating is really nice. Its covered and cool and the lights and decorations give the area a great feel.

Great food and customer service! Worth the price! Will come back, best Mediterranean food Ive tasted in LA so far....

This is a lovely place. It serves mediterian food. $$$ but very good. I en joyed myself.

Excellent fresh food and great service. We really liked the patio seating.

Fun place to go on the weekends. Great food, fun music and hookah.

I had so much fun tonight. Great music, great customer service. I will definitely be back for more fun

Best food everThe show is amazing. You can dance all night longGreat for date night or girlz night outThe best watermelon martini everHighly recommend this restaurant.Make reservation ahead of time

Staff is very nice and respectful. Food is average and atmosphere isnt the best. When it gets packed you have hardly any room to walk. Dance floor is very small inside. Do yourself a favor, never sit inside; you will go deaf by the end of your event.

Did not like the food here! Thank you for reading. Here is an update to make the comment more constructive: Please ask your customers how well done they like the meat to be. The meat was rare on my order. Ive talked to the server and he took my dish back so they can cook it to be well done. After getting the dish again I did not like it because it still wasnt cooked to a degree that I would like. Hope this will help.

Great Medi food at a fair price. Neat ambiance!

This spot always delivers. They have good food for fair pricing, there are no long waits even when they are full.

The food was great. They were short on staff. Staff tried their best.

Try the hummus, for real best thing I had. The chicken was good but the beef was dry. Have some excellent vegetarian options. The bartenders were excellent and would trust them to make anything.

Best Mediterranean restaurant in Pasadena, by far. Staff is always friendly. Food is top notch.

Awesome service and yummy food with exotic atmosphere

We just attended a wedding here and it was beautiful and the food was great. The patio area its just beautiful.The staff was awesome.There is parking across the street for a few bucks.

I’m gono keep it short and simple. Beautiful place, grate music, delicious food. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent experience.

GOOD food but although service was giving it their best, they couldnt keep up.

Good food . Ok music. Great people

OUTSTANDING Atmosphere!! Live entertainment, awesome selection on appetizers. Friendly staff. Beautiful. Food is great. ☆☆☆☆☆Seating is alittle cramped on the patio.It Counts!! -☆

Chris the floor manager was fantastic as was the entire waitstaff. Food was a true experience. Wonderful Cristin wow! The veal was wonderfully prepared as were the sides.This restaurant always seems on high alert to make your dinning experience fantastic.

Good customer service great place great atmosphere great food

You cannot be seated here without reservations but they only take reservations for parties of 2-7 people and reservations must be made well in advance. I’ve read reviews where people have said they are racist - I don’t know about that but I didn’t find anyone here that was particularly engaging or friendly.

Great food, amazing service and a mellow atmosphere, its a shame the city of Pasadena no longer allows them to serve hookah.

Took mom here for lunch. Been trying to come here for months. Service was excellent. Friendly, fast and accommodating. Details were great such as mint leaves with tea and olives and radish to start. Mom had Southwest pasta. It wasnt overcooked (as she prefers...I know. I was embarrassed) so they redid the plate (server asked, I didnt)! (THANK YOU!!!!). Mom absolutely loved the cream sauce!I had the chicken shawarma. It was the best plate Ive had in a long time. We also ordered the hot sampler. Loved it!Finally had a dessert of cream with bananas, strawberry, pistachios and honey. We died and went to heaven! (What is the name of this dessert??)Mom cant cook anymore due to her health so I take her out several times a week. We are already planning our next visit here! Love this place!Eden Garden you will get to know us for sure.

Great overall experienceGreat tasting food service a little slow.

Excellent service, food, and drinks! We were immensely satisfied with the Eden Garden. The patio is beautiful and peaceful. The cucumber citrus martini is amazing and refreshing.

Reasonable price. Excellent service.

Its ok if you like mostly Armenian music. Food is plentiful. Lots of smoking taking place, mostly hookahs.

Great food and entertainment. Its places to come and enjoy with friends. Thumbs up.

Nice venue, ate too much cause it was so good

My friends and I love this place. So much so I am planning my bday dinner there. It will be our third time back there in the past three months. It is superior to the other restaurants that share the same name. I think it is a small chain. The food was excellent and they give substantial portions. On weekends they also have a belly dancer and a DJ. It can get booked up well in advance on holidays and weekends so I recommend calling your reservation in advance. For a December dinner on a Saturday night we booked one month in advance and our group of 5 took the last available table.

Enjoyed the delicious food! Wonderful atmosphere, great entertainment.

Been here a few times, hookah isnt my favorite thing but al my friends love it and this a nice spot off the beaten path. Food is well prepared and seasoned and the Hookah is good. Great place for large parties

Pretty good place for Mediterranean food. A little pricey.

My wife and I booked Eden for our wedding rehearsal dinner because they had charmed us so much when we were looking for a wedding venue but were just a bit too small for our event size. But it was perfect for our rehearsal dinner of about 35, so we booked their upper patio area which gave us a nice cozy alcove just enough away from the rest of the restaurant to give us a bit more privacy and feel very homey and comfortable.And let me tell you about the food. We went with their deluxe catering package because it wasnt that much different in price from the basic and thought it would be fun to splurge a bit. And so we sat with our friends and family happily munching on all the delicious appetizers as they were brought out. Thats when it dawned on us after like the 10th appetizer that we hadnt even hit the main course! You should have seen everybodys eyes when that sunk in. We were surrounded by mounds of delicious food! In the end, we had to foist giant catering boxes of food onto people to take home because we were all stuffed to the gills.Though it did make putting on our wedding outfits the next day a bit difficult, I am so glad we went with Eden. They were courteous and very accommodating while planning the event and the staff were all very kind and great during the dinner. And of course, the food was wonderful! If you want to drown in delicious food, Eden is the place to go.

The three course set menu on weekends is amazing, worth much more than the $40/person. Food is great quality and staff is friendly.

Great service nice music great food

For the first time visiting loved it and enjoyed it and the food was very good.

It wasnt what it seemed, they didnt seat us in the section we reserved and it was way overpriced for 4 people and 6 drinks $245.00 total and they take the tip out of the meal and drinks seperate. A whopping 18% automatically. They seemed to forget about us after the beginning appetizer round. The belly dancer never made an appearance and it took 20 minutes to pay the check. The food was all the sameHumus this and hummus that. Idk what kind of meat they served us??I wont miss going back

We love the food and ambiance and have been many times but it seems like the portion sizes have gone down and the quality of the drinks and desserts we ordered are lower too and described wrong. My husband asked the waiter which meal had the most meat and he recommended the steak kebab which was about $20. It came with one kebab worth of meat about 5 pieces.. someone else ordered the pita/sandwich and it had the more meat for half the price! Misleading. My hubby left hungry and the bill was way over $100 for 3 people. My Godiva Chocolate Martini was missing the godiva chocolate and didnt taste like chocolate at all and the Creme Brule didnt taste right. It just tasted like a cheap pudding with carmelized sugar on top. The ambiance cant be beat but hope this is not a trend.

Found the Eden Garden Bar & Grill by accident just driving around after our intended spot had a long line. We heard the music and stopped, and we were glad we did. Nice family and friends atmosphere even though some might say the hookah smoke in the patio area and kids arent a good mix. Reasonable prices, good food and a middle eastern ambiance made for an enjoyable evening.

I was quite impressed with the food and the prices are very reasonable. My waiter served me the wrong sides but I didnt complain because could have gone either way with my side orders, but when receiving the check the waiter apologized for the wrong sides and went to the kitchen and gave me my sides to go. I wish I would have gotten his name.
