Eden Garden Bar & Grill

The best Persian food I've 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.

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!

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.

The 3 stars are for the service. I am trying out the 'Timeleft' app, and this is the location it sent us to. The Hummus sampler was pretty good, and so were the Pita chips, but the Lamb Shank smelled so 'gamey' I couldn't eat it. BTW I love Lamb and will eat it often, but this time NOPE! I must also share that everyone else at the table enjoyed their selections. There is indoor seating, but they sat us outside under the covered patio, which can get breezy even with the tarp and heaters out there. Street parking is accessible after 6:00pm during the week and there is a parking garage directly across the street that is affordable. My drink was delicious, though!

We have visited Eden Garden three times in the last couple years and every time it's a blast. The food, the music and even the guests add to this really special place. Such a lively and fun atmosphere. Great drinks and the food is excellent. It can get a little loud in here though so come prepared with plugs if you need them. Great welcoming vibe.

What an absolute gem , We went here for a comedy show last night. It was the funniest show I have ever been to !!! The service was impeccable. The food was to die for I cannot believe the top-notch service that we had received while famous comedians. We’re just 5 feet in front of us doing their standup. You can tell this business takes pride in Customer Service. I was so lucky to have been a part of this great experience Big thank you to everybody. That made this happen. Awesome place. It’s a must go.!!!!

Eden truly lives up to the hype. We were impressed from the moment we walked in—attentive staff, beautifully crafted cocktails, and steaks that were cooked to perfection. Every detail was spot on. It’s a small and intimate setting, so be sure to reserve ahead of time. Can’t wait to return

This place turned out to be a pleasant surprise. My friend and I initially stopped in just to use the restroom, but we were impressed by how clean and well-organized everything was. The tables were nice and gave the space a nice, put-together feel. We ended up staying to order some food and drinks, and everything we tried was solid. Since we arrived right at opening time, we were the only ones there, which made for a relaxed and quiet experience. I didn’t have any complaints and would definitely recommend checking it out. That said, as we were leaving, staff began setting up hookahs, so the atmosphere may change later in the day. Still, our visit was a great one.

I love Eden garden Great Ambience, delicious food and friendly staff I go there with my friends every Thursday or Sunday and sometimes both days. The best of all is the great performer who has an exquisite voice to listen and enjoy with dancing

I took the whole family to this restaurant for my mom's 70th birthday & we had a horrible experience They brought a cold food to the table & when I asked the waiter to bring a fresh food to our table , he started to argue with me & was very rude about it Even they weren't that busy the service was horrible ( refilling the soft drinks, cleaning the table, clean plates never happened) & I got sick next day from their food. I highly recommend not going to this place, they ruined our special night

Hidden away but a great place! We came here just for the hookah but saw the food and drinks that others ordered looked great. Service was great and our hookah was perfect! The place had live music and dancing, which was fun. Definitely would return!

I haven't been here since 2019. We were invited to a birthday party Saturday evening. As usual the food was amazing so was the entertainment. A belly dancer show and awesome DJ. We danced for hours. I don't remember the last time I danced this much. The food was delicious. The appetizers and the hot foods tasted amazing. Service was great The only bad part of the evening was the smoke all over the place. So many people smoking cigars, cigarettes and hookah. I understand it's a hookah lounge too and smoke is expected but the smoke of the cigars just bothered me so much. It's not the venues problem cause it is a smoking permitted venue ... it's my problem and I shouldn't come here if I want to avoid all that. Overall a great place for celebrating special events. But if you have issues with smoke this is not the place for you.

12 of us spent the new year's eve @ this restaurant. Food & atmosphere was just O.k. However, almost everyone in this enclosed restaurant, either smoked cigarette, cigar or used Hookah. You need oxygen max to stay alive. I have no idea how in today's world, they allow smoking in a confined room and making patrons who don't smoke suffer?! Needless to say, i certainly will not visit this restaurant again! Sorry for my honest opinion!

The guys and I went here as part of our monthly get together. One of them lives in the Glendale area and has come here frequently with his family, so this was a new experience for me and one of the others. I'm very impressed with all the different kind of hummus they had, and my chicken shawarma plate was really awesome. Everyone in our party enjoyed our food. The only qualms was a mixup on a drink refill near the end of our visit, but since we were already wrapping up for the night and getting ready to head out, The service itself is okay. instead of asking how our dinner was going, we had to flag down our server every time to ask for something. All in all though, it's a dope spot to chill, have dinner, and catch up with friends. Service aside, I'd definitely come back...the food is awesome.

Bought $80 worth of vegan food to-go and probably liked $40 of it, but do you go to this place just for the food? The vibe looked awesome and it hadn't even started. Some nights they have an Armenian DJ while other nights they have a belly dancer. Need to go back for the vibes, falafel and kibe. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer

Nice and cozy indoor garden atmosphere. Love the belly dancer. She does so good, very pretty, and always tries to engage the audience. Foods are great, with a very reasonable price. Drink is da bomb. THIAGO is our guy. Ask him to make your drink!! He always make sure we got everything we need. Definitely will come back!!

That restaurant is very busy, and seems to be accommodating mainly big parties ( events) in the front space. We were sitting in the back room with my friends, and we had a good time! Their food is very fresh and delicious

I love Eden Garden, their appetizers are delicious and they have entertainment on weekends. I love the singer Hratch Bogharian and the ambience he creates. People are like family, they know each other and they have regulars that go here every weekend. We celebrated my nieces birthday and they made sure she was happy, the servers were constantly checking on our table to make sure we weren't missing anything. We were there until midnight and the party was still going. The singer is very engaging and he brings a positive energy to the attendees. If you are in Pasadena you should try this restaurant.

Fun and relaxed atmosphere, live music, dancing, good food very reasonably priced and large servings.

Great after hours location for unwinding and drinking with folks with so much holiday spirit. The appetizers were delicious and the dinner tasted beautifully with the drinks. With the holiday energy in the dinning room, everyone was happy and keeping the love alive.

Great food and hookah. So kind service. Hookah was $35 house hookah. Meal under $20. I finished my whole plate. They checked in on me and made sure I was taken care of. I would definitely recommend and return. Beautiful atmosphere. Go fancy or casual it's a great spot.

Stumbled into here after a party because I was super hungry still. Was not expecting what I found, but was pleasantly surprised. It seems they mostly take reservations, especially on nights with music or a belly dancer, but we got lucky. Eden has two very large dining rooms. The one in the front was actually empty/closed when I went, but I think that was on purpose. The 2nd room is a covered courtyard with little areas for performances and two levels. It's really lovely and makes you feel like you're in Greece or somewhere in the Mediterranean. We were seated immediately and given a table on the 2nd level in the courtyard room. There was a man singing with a keyboardist/recorded music playing behind him. He sang a lot of Arabic songs and possibly Armenian, but I'm not sure. Definitely recognized one from when I used to belly dance. He was a good singer, too! There were mostly large parties, so the service was a bit slow. Our main courses took almost 30 minutes to come out, which is why I took off one star. But we had the calamari as well as the vegetarian platter, and the chicken basil pesto pasta. I forgot to take a photo of the entrees because we ended up just taking them to go because it got super late and we were tired. But the food was really good! Very large portions and very good prices! I'll definitely try to come back for an earlier dinner, especially when they have a belly dancer!

We came in on a Sunday evening for a small birthday celebration and we had a great time. We booked it for 7 adults but the person who rsvp forgot we had 2 babies with us, but they were able to accommodate our group. There was a wedding booked inside, we were sat outside in their lovely patio, it's a very pretty patio and there's space heaters everywhere. In the quest to be media / tech savvy they have 4 separate QR code menus and they do not link to each other, so there is a drink menu, a dinner menu, a hookah menu and one other menu. That was a bit confusing at first, since everyone initially started off wit ha different menu. But we got the hang of it. it's a pretty big menu, we ordered a combo platter for 4 people and another combo platter for 2 people and a vegetarian sampler. The 4 and 2 people combos are same just sized differently. They come out on enormous metal platter that is placed on a pedestal on your table. The platters came with steak and chicken breast kabobs and then also ground beef and ground chicken kabobs as well (lule? koobideh?) they were pretty juicy and flavorful, they only came with like 2 tiny garlic toums but you can and should request more. Oh and it also comes with like hella pita breads. The rice soaks up the meat juices from the platter and is bomb af. We took home 2 boxes of food, they don't skimp. The alcoholic drinks are kinda disappointing, like the cocktails are all under powered and watered down low on alcohol, but the fruity drinks taste spectacular as a fruit juice drink but not as a cocktail. the quarantini (their take espresso/coffee martini ) is just watered down and doesnt taste like anything. Either get bottles of wine or hard alcohol don't get the cocktails. If you're sitting on the outside patio do be aware that they have hookah service out here, so if you're not down with that you should sit inside. they have live music and dancing as well (we had a senior citizens dinner due to the kids, so we missed it, but I rememeber it being a good time the last time we saw it.) Good spot wouldn't mind returning at all.

Came to watch Jack Jr and was treated extremely well by the staff. Good was amazing and even though it was packed, I got served well. The vibe is great, chill, laid back and hookah available. I would rate it 7/5 if I could. Thank you for hosting Jack Jr and having my family have the great experience and memories!

Great ambience and staff. The bar is a bit lacking in variety but the food is good. The lamb chops are excellent

Food and service is good. But AVOID this place at their New Year Event unless you plan to lose your hearing. We complained to the host many times without any effort on their part to correct the issue. This our second and LAST New Year Event we spend it here. Visit but not at New Year.

Went with friends for a dinner and we had an amazing time. The food was great and music was enjoyable.

The most Amazing Lebanese Food Great Shisha and wonderful music, honestly perfect place to have all kind of parties

Very bad food. They got my last review taken down so I need to leave a vanilla review now. $50 minimum and 1 waiter for 30 people. That's not a joke or embellishment. Their hookahs are of the worst quality and the guy making it probably doesn't know what he is doing. Ambiance was good until the very depressing music started to play. Orders of actual food never came or simply the waiter forgot because it was him and 30 people. Do not spend your time or money here.

This place is amazing I strongly recommend it meets all my expectations of a great night Excellent food and service

If I wasn't keen to using technology to find nearby restaurants and instead used the old "walk until you find something good" method, I don't know that I would have ever tried Eden Garden. Not only is it sort of hidden away and marked mainly by a single street lamp and one or two dudes smoking outside, but it's also located on a block where there's not much else going on in general, not to mention that there's no other restaurant. If you must distinguish certain areas of any city as the "seedier" part, this area would be it for Downtown Pasadena. The smell of hookahs waft over the gated patio, and on some days you can hear live music. My friend and I came here on a chilly night about a year ago and sat outside (there was no indoor dining). I ordered the "Stimulus Check" cocktail because I thought that was a hilarious name, but I ended up liking the flavor combo a lot. It was spicy and tart; I think it was essentially a margarita with a tajin rim. There's complimentary bread and pickled items for the table. I'm not a huge fan of this type of bread, perhaps lavash, but the pickles were yummy. I ordered the filet mignon kabob because that's not a cut of meat I often see ordered on a kabob. The meat, and its accompanying grilled veggies and rice, were SO flavorful! Everything was so well-seasoned and -cooked, I honestly can't wait to come back and I might even order the same dish (which I rarely do). The patio is a beautiful setting in the middle of this area, and the service was good. I can't recommend this place enough, especially because I haven't had better Mediterranean food in Pasadena than what I ordered here.

We had a baby shower there and it was amazing. They worked with our budget and was one of the best places to host a shower for the amount we paid. The ambience is also upscale so that helps Mona was the most accommodating and helpful person there and she multitasked all our requests.

Went on a Saturday with a couple of friends. It's kind of like a wedding - which I love! Haha The restaurant is well decorated with the lights, floral etc. So cute! We had the chicken/falafel preset menu and all of the food was really good. Definitely enough food that's with $50.. we just couldn't finish it all HAHA. Also feel part of that $$ goes to the entertainment which I respect because everything was so good and lively! I asked what drinks are recommended/popular and they said the mango martini.. I can't have vodka so had it made with tequila and it was delicious! My friends were content with their beer and wine. There's also hookah, if you're into that. I forgot to ask my friends how it was since I don't do it but they seemed to be enjoying themselves! The service was amazing. The food and drinks came out so fast! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she's so down to earth and such a sweetheart. We danced the night away on our way out back into the rain lol We'll be back on another non rainy night! Thanks for the experience!

Horrible Management! This past Saturday, we called before going to see if we needed a reservation, we were told that it was walk-in. We also asked about the minimum charge or entrance fee, we were told there wasn't any, you pay for what you order. Once we arrived, we were then informed it was 50$ per person for appetisers only; anything else we order we would pay for outside the 50$. The hostess went back inside "to check who we spoke to" on the phone and never came back. Laughable experience.

No wonder they named this restaurant "Eden Garden", because the very first lie originally came from there haha and it looks like that's exactly their technique, to "lie" and cheat to people when they go eat there. A large group of friends and myself went to eat here and we had a VERY unpleasant eating experience. These guys take you all the pitta and humus and every other side dipping dish and they continue doing that for about 45 to 1 hour and until that time that's when they (decide) to take your meat items but guess what baby? You are already full and don't have any more space to eat the meat. So how much money do they spend on meat? Very little. THAT ladies and gentleman is a very good cheating tactic. But guess what, we were very unhappy with that therefore we will never go there again. They loose not us. The entire point of the side dishes is to eat it TOGETHER with the meats we get. That's how you enjoy a great meal with family and friends, not by waiting, waiting and waiting for your meat to arrive. Oh, and believe me, they didn't do this to my group only, everyone else was being served their meat items around 45 minutes later. That is why I don't recommend this place because they think they are "smart" by applying this nasty unpleasant tactic to their own customers but the result is in a very unpleasant dining experience. What, Eden Garden didn't think we were going to notice that?? Everybody was really unhappy with this type of service and that's why we will never go back there. Go to Zanko chicken, their humus, tabule and everything else is just as good, and in fact, Zanko Chicken's meats are way more tasty than this Eden Garden place, and yes they will give you your meat at the bloody same time as your other dishes so you can enjoy your entire meal, oh and is NOT going to cost you $50 dollars per person like Eden Garden. That place is a complete rip off and in the end their food is not that good either.

Two weeks ago I was out in Old Town with my neighbors. We had visited a few bars and drank a lot. We were walking by Eden, and one of our buddies said to stop in get a drink and try the food. He's never been there, but always wanted to try. The interior seemed pretty swanky. But we walked in just past midnight on a Friday night. 1am apparently was their closing time. So most of the restaurant was cleaned up with tables and chairs put up for the night. There were a few tables still with people. One group looked like they were still celebrating a wedding dinner. In a separate dining area there were a few couples having late night drinks after dinner. And then there was my group of 6 people. We ended up all order beer, food and a hookah. Yes, Eden has hookah, which I had never done until this night. Found out that this is a Lebanese establishment. I had a few Lebanese beers, and ordered a chicken kabob plate for myself. It was delicious! Service was great too. I can't remember what everyone else ordered, but I think everyone loved their food too. No one had leftovers!

I just had my 40th birthday party celebration there with an amazing group of friends. The food was amazing!! We got the Eden Maza Course. So many yummy appetizers and the meats were amazing. We loved the entertainment. The belly dancers were so fun to watch. My group had a fun time. The waiter was really great too!!!! We definitely will come back again for a fun time. I was very happy with the setting and experience.

I'm going to be completely honest here! Service: 4/5 staff was very attentive! Cleanliness: 3/5 from what I saw people were wearing masks and gloves. Our servers mask kept falling down his face I saw him touch it like over 2 dozen time. Covid or no covid this is super unhygienic. Restaurant and restrooms were clean though. Location: 5/5 great place to walk before or after dinner with the family. We walked down to get some ice cream and pie afterwards. Gorgeous city! Food and Drink: 2/5 Drinks were great it's the food that was a huge disappointment. This is one of those places that's more for the atmosphere and vibe then food. I've had better kabobs in Palmdale where I live. If you're looking to chill with friends, smoke hookah and listen to music then this is your place!!

This is the most disgusting restaurant in Los Angeles. I went there once and I can't want to go again. I feel sick from this restaurant. There is nothing personal and terrible food. I advise no one to go. Thank you

I went here once on Easter and it was so good!! The food was delicious. They bring you a large basket of pita bread and some olives + pickled radishes complimentary. We were the only people there, and we learned that was because the crowds usually come at night when they have belly dancers and live entertainment. The restaurant is an a cute old rustic building and is decorated in a chic manner all while still respectful to the original architecture. The servers are nice, they will give you recommendations and are friendly. I got the Veggie plate with dolma, babaghanoosh, hummus, falafel, and tabouleh. My mom and dad both got the chicken kabob and they agreed everything was delicious. Prices are pretty good for the great quality of the food and the level of ambiance! I'd come back here in a heartbeat!

I love delicious middle eastern food. Coming from a home where the food was made. My mom who is now my angel would definitely approve on a day when she wants someone else to cook. Delicious, flavorful, family style friendly. It's is a bit up there with price, but fine quality dining is where you will feast here at Eden. I went for a bridal shower and had a wonderful time with good service and wonderful food. The venue is fabulous for events and parties. Seeing so many people enjoy good food makes the world a better place. That was my indicator that I would return mor than once. Venture out into the sands of time and enjoy the wonderful home made taste of the Middle East in your back yard. Cheers and blessings to those who enjoy.

The minute you walk in you can feel the elegance, class, and hipness of this place. Came here with a few friends before a conference for some drinks and appetizers. They quickly accommodated us and seated our party of nine. Great service, tasty food and live music! Stay at the Westin which is around the corner. Enjoy!

My first time in that place and very bad experience they asked for our table. because they had another reservation at the same table , when they had like 25 o 30 tables available. If we wanted to stay more time they wanted charge 50 dlls for each of us All the guests were Armenian, And everyone was treated nice and friendly. Only we were Latinos For me that place is racist NEVER AGAIN

I don't know why I waited so long to write this review! I hosted my sister's bridal shower at Eden Garden in January of 2018. It was the perfect location for us. We had it on the beautiful brick, outdoor patio which has an open layout. There are 2 levels however we only needed the floor level. Tarek was a delight to work with in terms of planning. Very personable, accommodating and easy to work with in terms of client needs and expectations. There was never an issue, the planning process was almost too smooth I felt there may be a catch! The customer service day of event was top tier, everyone complimented the venue and the food. It was great quality food at such a great price point - you literally cannot beat it. All of the add ons were also great too and reasonably priced. We had a choice of 3 served appetizers, filet mignon and salmon for our entrees, we added on bottomless mimosas per person, soft drinks, coffee and tea was already included. For dessert we chose fruit since we already had cake and tons of treats. I recently decided to come back to Eden Garden to host my aunt's 60th birthday dinner. This time we held it inside and it was just as spectacular. I reached out to Tarek and we pulled it off in 2 or 3 weeks. I highly recommend Eden Garden for any small dinner event/celebration or just to come in for dinner or lunch! Love it here! You have customers for life.

It's taken me too long to write this review but I needed to give this restaurant the wonderful review it deserves. After searching frantically for a venue to hold our daughter's wedding and meeting with so many over-priced venues, we stumbled on Eden Garden. We met with Mona, who is by far one of the most experienced and kind people on the planet, and decided to hold the wedding there. Every single minute of planning was so simple, and Mona went out of her way to make sure that my daughter's wedding was perfect. The food was fantastic, the option to bring our own wine and champagne, and cake, was saved so much money and allowed us to pick the wines we wanted. The staff went overboard on the day of the wedding to handle every detail, from setting up the music to keeping the bar open, to providing beautiful tableware, tablecloths and napkins (which my daughter picked out - so many colors to choose from), to setting up the flowers, to providing us with a cake table, a gifts table, to arranging the entire reception in the beautiful enclosed patio with room for dancing. The food was served on time and with gorgeous presentation. This was a wedding with many cultures combined, Italian, Jewish...and every person was happy. Mona- you are the very best and I hope the owners know how lucky they are to have you!

I love Eden Garden. I was introduced to this restaurant by a Lebanese friend years ago and I've continued to come out of my way to eat here ever since. Their set menu dinner is SO MUCH food and somehow it's all delicious. Come hungry-- but even then you will probably have leftovers. Also if you're a fan of hookah, that's an option here. If you aren't a fan, I suggest sitting inside to get away from the smoke (though it isn't bad).

Last night had my 50th birthday with my group had a amazing night. Had a set menu to food was to die for very tasteful and the dancers and Dj were at point with great music. The service and owner was very professional and kind. My group was very satisfied over all that a such a gem existed. The meat and chicken and kebab was so tasteful and soft and juicy not dry. It was my first time there came all the way from Laguna Beach Ca. It was worth the drive. Thank you for making my birthday memorable. Will definitely return again. Keep up the great job.

There is many reason s to give 10 stars first the legend singer Hratch Bogharian then friendly helpful owner Tanya the best and special thanks to all staff and delicious food

My group of six friends dined here last night (Tuesday). The restaurant was nearly empty, which was nice for us since the "outdoor" area felt indoors since it was enclosed on all sides by either walls or plastic. The service was fine. Three in our party ordered lamb, which they said was good, though none raved about it. My husband and I split chicken shawarma and a vegetarian platter. The chicken was dry. The vegetarian platter was ok, but not as good as others I've had. The baklava we had for dessert was excellent. There was almost no decor in the restaurant. I bet this is a nice location for a big event, but I don't plan to return.

Hidden gem! Hit upon this place while looking for Mediterranean food the other night, and I wasn't so keen on the idea of walking into a nice Old Town Pasadena restaurant on a weekend night. Would there be an annoying wait? Would we have to hunt for parking? But it was so frictionless: took a spot out front, walked in, got seated. And the food was top-notch. Though I like Mediterranean, I had not met a falafel I wanted to eat until here. Delish. As was everything in my veggie combo and my friend's lamb kabob dish. Also, warm baklava is a revelation. New staple.

We have beautiful night great and cozy atmosphere with wonderful belly dancers we totally love and recommend people to come and enjoy the place

Amazing food! Well priced and large portion sizes, had a reservation at 7 and was seated quickly. Started to get busier later on but was a great experience overall.

The history of the old part in the outside dining area was once an old livery stable as stated by a employee. The outstanding lavish dining area outside makes for a warm comfortable relaxing atmosphere and an enjoyable experience feasting on a gourmet dinner of kabobs, hummus and many other dishes Their beef kabobs cooked medium were astounding and cooked to perfection. Spicy hummus is quite a pleasant experience with just the right amount of spices makes for a tasty appetizer. Pita bread is warm and a nice soft texture for scooping up your hummus. But save room for the main meal. Attentive service is on par with prompt refills and attention to our table.

I enjoyed the food and the entertainment of the belly dancer was fun! Can get very noisy once they start the party for the night ! And they have a DJ that will play any requests ! So you can dance the night away too! They have hookah in the Patio! And it tends to get alittle smoky outside so those that have asthma of a respiratory disease should stay inside the restaurant! I can also say not a place for children as the noise will disturb them! Overall! The service was great in the patio but not as good inside the restaurant! I guess it depends on the servers for the evening! Bring plenty of $1 for the belly dancer! They do have valet parking for $20 or you can park in the parking garage across the street for only $5 for the evening after certain time ! So check before you park inside the garage but they only take credit card to pay for parking!

Came in last night with no reservations wanted to get seated for 5. We came to eat good Mediterranean food after the longest day we were just hungry. They graciously accommodated us on a Saturday night. We sat down and our waitress explained the menu and we felt great about what we got. Ordered the Eden Garden Standard option and our waitress assured us it would be enough for five for $50 each. She explained how the courses will come out in 20 minute increments and if we wanted it sooner we could just let her know. We were under the impression if we needed more of a certain dish we could just ask and it's included (given the hummus and babaganoush were servings of four tablespoons) We were there for FOUR HOURS. Our waitress only came to check on us twice throughout the entire experience. We sat there like sitting ducks after several times of asking them to bring out the next course. Only to find out, once we asked for our main course to be brought out, the waitress told us they haven't even started cooking it yet. Once we got our main course, they gave use one cup of cooked rice and one chicken and one beef kabob with a small side of vegetables for FIVE PEOPLE. I understand the environment is to stay long and enjoy the atmosphere but we figured that we could just come eat the food and go as we pleased especially during Ramadan we didn't want to stay to see the belly dancing or hear the incredibly loud music. We didn't have the impression the whole experience is dictated by the restaurants timing rather than the customers. At this point I would've done anything to leave. We talked to the manager after and informed her of our thoughts and she informed us that they are generous with their portions when in reality everything we were told was simply false. She offered to give us more food which they did 40 minutes after we shared our thoughts with her. Thankful and grateful for the food but honestly just know what you're getting yourself into before you go. If you ask for food earlier, just know you won't get it when you want.

Very well run establishment! Everything was on point! The wait was very attentive, especially Almaza and Mona. Mona was the party coordinator and made sure everything was run flawless. Almana was helpful, accomidating, and attentive. Food kept flowing in and was exceptional!! The belly dancers were mesmerizing

Bad service by Hassan!!!! Literally waited 2 hours for food and he came around every 40 min to see if we were okay. The unfortunate part is that we were a party of 9 so tip was included. Hassan has no business in the service industry.
