We have been coming to Heidar Baba for many years, and it truly feels like a hidden gem in Pasadena. The food is absolutely delicious – authentic Mediterranean flavors that are always fresh and full of taste. Every dish reminds us of the rich and vibrant traditions of the region.
What makes this place even more special is that the recipes go back more than five thousand years, carrying the heritage of the ancient peoples of the East and the Mediterranean. These dishes have passed through millennia yet remain alive in traditional cuisine, preserved with care and authenticity.
The service is excellent, warm, and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is calm and family-friendly, perfect for both quiet dinners and gatherings with loved ones.
Heidar Baba has become one of our favorite places to enjoy not only great food but also a welcoming and relaxing environment. Highly recommended to anyone looking for real Mediterranean cuisine in Pasadena.

I don’t normally give good reviews but WOW! I wasn’t expecting this. SOLID RESTAURANT! It’s worth it.
I ordered the Spicy Koobideh plate and was not disappointed. Can feed 2 people easy. I’m a huge monster of a person and I couldn’t finish it. I only wish I had a shovel so I could have eaten it faster.
Food was ready exactly on time, 20 mins / cost 25$ with tax but in my opinion WELL WORTH IT.
I know Pasadena is nicer than the rest of LA and you should expect better quality here but HEIDAR BABA is better than Pasadena deserves. A+
Way better than Raafi and other restaurants in LA I believe this place is underrated. If you're looking for authentic persian food, here is where you can find it.

Absolutely love this olace
If a Persian restaurant serves Tadigh, that’s 80% for me, the rest was a huge plate of Barg, with a Szerasi salad.
