Love their beef and chicken combo, saffron rice, and green sauce! It’s a bonus that it comes with a choice of hummus. Other places you have to order hummus as an extra side. Haven’t come across another place that offers this amazing green sauce they make. I usually have to order an extra side of the both saffron rice and green sauce because it is soooo delicious! Can’t get enough of it! The owner and staff is always great. Been coming here for the last 7-years even though we’re closer to Glendale, we would rather make the drive to this side of Pasadena just for their food!

Exceptional restaurant with great food and service! Some of the best falafel and baklava I’ve had. Also wonderful tabbouleh, tahini, hummus, and dolma.

It was pretty good! Much better than the food at Zephyr's down the street. Chicken was spiced just right, and very juicy. ?They didn't skimp on the pita and hummus either. That's always a plus.I asked for a recommendation being my first time here, and was not disappointed. Definitely going to come back!

Parking: Park on Colorado for 1hr, but you never know when they'll enforce that limit. Vinedo Ave doesn't have any signs, so I don't know how long you can park (limitless, until 2am? Or also just 1hr?) Check local ordinance PMC 10.40.120

The food was amazing. There were only 2 workers and they made it quick. I don’t eat a lot so i shared a platter with my brother. Our side was a salad. The worker knew we were sharing and gave us an extra plate and ANOTHER salad plus ANOTHER SIDE, hummus. The food was amazing and the hospitality was better. I definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic, authentic Persian Mediterranean restaurant. Small, great lamb, beef kabobs, basmati rice, excellent side salads, best in Pasadena and area. Drive here, don't miss this unknown place. I ate here 2 nights in row.

I've had their take-out twice and just dined-in yesterday. The food has been fresh and delish every time. We were the only diners at the time, so it was quiet. It's a small store but they've made it nice. They are friendly and professional.

Hands down, one of the greatest Mediterranean restaurants in East Pasadena, and the entire City of Pasadena in general. The quality of food is extraordinary, and the owner and staff take their time to cook all food from scratch to visual and flavor perfection. Come to think of it, I have never had a bad plate since I started coming here in 2017 (over the past 5 years). In addition, the customer service here is exceptional. The owner and his staff treat their customers with the highest level of courtesy and respect; practically like family. I’m so glad this restaurant continues to be in business and thrive. Famous Shish Kabob will always have my business!
