1. The food was very good. The rice was done perfectly
2. Need to resurface and polish all table. The finishing material on the wood has desolved and it is sticky and anoying
3. Please toast the pita bread.
4. Upon the arrival of the customers, please by default present water. You also need to do a better job filtering the water. It taste like tap water which garbage.

Heidar Baba offers a variety of dishes, with muste kahir, beef and lamb koobideh being some of them. The restaurant is known for its big portions and authentic food, as well as its clean and chic atmosphere. It truly feels like a hidden gem in Pasadena, serving authentic Mediterranean and Persian flavors that are always fresh and full of taste. The Spicy Koobideh plate is a solid choice with portions so big it can easily feed two people. The service is excellent, warm, and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience in a calm and family-friendly atmosphere. Heidar Baba is an underrated restaurant, better than others in LA, and is highly recommended to anyone looking for real Mediterranean cuisine.
