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.

Went here for lunch. Very nice setting. Could choose to sit inside or outside in a small little courtyard surrounded by ivy walls. Noticed a very full bar inside but held back the urge to have a 12:30pm jack and coke. Stared at the menu for awhile and decided on the Chicken Shawarma because I was in the mood for a dish with hummus. Next, waiter tells us this Mediterranean Cuisine Bar and Grill ran out of pita bread....??? We were confused but realized that life is not always perfect. Neeless to say, I still ordered the shawarma and substituted the pita for sourdough bread (hey, I am German and they had no Pumpernickel). Anyway, it was delicious and very filling. For taste, I give it 4 stars. However, lack of pita bread brings it down to 3. Sorry owner, but pita is important to Mediterranean cuisine. But, the building/decor brings the rating back up to 3.5. Oh well, I am in a good mood and about to begin vacation... Lets round that up to 4.

Eden Garden Bar & Grill has hands down the best hummus I have ever tasted. It is so creamy and light. The chicken Sharma plate is served with flavorful rice, hummus, pita and moist chicken. The baklava is drenched in honey and crispy pistachios. My one complaint is the atmosphere - a strip mall restaurant where they tend to clean the floors with heavy bleach smelling cleaner while you are trying to enjoy your meal. The last time we went, we were there about 20 minutes before closing. We were rushed out as they cleaned the floors, put all the chairs up on tables all around us and stood around looking at us. Not the most friendly / welcoming service. But the food is great.

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.

For a place that calls themselves Mediterranean, Youre food was the furthest from it. A little clue to the chef- the whole essence of Mediterranean/ middle Eastern cuisine is the rich and different flavors and spices that take your tastebuds and your mind to places that you dont experience regularly. Everything on the menu was horribly bland! Not very Mediterranean. We were there Saturday with a huge party, and the best things on the menu were the hummus, baba ganoush, lebni, and the pita. Oh I forgot the johnnie walker black label. And the service was sub par at best.

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.

They have started a Sunday brunch which was inexpensive and delicious. Already love all the food I have tried. Their bartender makes amazing chocolate martinis and the owner Edward is all about customer service. You will love their food selection.

I have no expertise in this cuisine, but I had the impression they go deeper into Mediterranean cuisine (what to call it? Persian? Moroccan?) than the typical falafel joint around Los Angeles.

We went to this place and literally saw rats climbing the walls on the outside and traps in the alley behind the place...it was disgusting. How this place has not been shut down is beyond me.

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.

The food is decent. Entertainment is hit or miss. Also they need to fix the roof. Went on a rainy day and they had to move us several times because we kept getting rained on.
