I had a wonderful experience at Deda in Pasadena! The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. I tried the khachapuri, and it was perfectly baked—warm, cheesy, and full of flavor. The khinkali were also very good, juicy and well-seasoned.
If you love lamb chops, you definitely have to try them here—they were cooked perfectly, tender, and full of rich flavor.
The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed while enjoying your meal.
Overall, a fantastic place to experience Georgian cuisine. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!

Russian comfort food at its finest!
I’ve never had food from Georgia before so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into it. Everything we ordered was delicious and very filling.
I really like the cheese boat “adjaruli khachapuri” and the giant dumplings “khinkali kalakuri”
The chicken mtsvadi (skewers) were a bit dry to my liking so I won’t be ordering that again. I definitely want to go back and try more of their main dishes like the lamb shank (Chaqapuli) and the whole trout.
Ambiance is adorable. Service was friendly but it did take them a while to get us boxes and out check once we were done.
There was a very friendly lady taking photos and you can purchase them from her in a beautiful frame if you want a memory of your visit. She even had some traditional Georgian headwear to wear in the photo which was super cute.

The food was outstanding! Unique spices to the region used in their recipes was delicious! We’ve never had Georgian food so it was an adventure. Learned about the country, region and people through the food. Service was also excellent and spot on. The location was beautiful and very well decorated. We are looking forward to going back!.

You Knead to Eat Here! A Georgian Food Love Story in Pasadena!
If you haven’t been to Deda Restaurant, stop what you’re doing and go immediately (okay, maybe finish reading this first). This cozy little spot is serving up authentic Georgian cuisine that’ll make you question every other comfort food in your life.
It was our first Georgian meal ever, and now we’re emotionally attached to khachapuri. Everything was ridiculously good, like, “how is this not illegal” good.
The vibe? Warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of buzz. There’s a sunny patio, a chill bar area, and even a private dining room if you want to impress your friends with your sophisticated world-food knowledge.
Bonus points: two hours of free parking in the back (a rare and precious gift from the Pasadena gods). The staff was so friendly and genuinely excited to share the menu, you can tell they love what they do.
In short: come hungry, leave obsessed. Deda is a 10/10 culinary plot twist you didn’t see coming.

Beautiful restaurant. I loved the decor, and the atmosphere, the what I assume is Georgian music, beautiful setting.
The good was delicious too, we ordered appetizers and mains and the people were such that we could not finish and had to take food home with us.
The smoked salmon ajarski was great. They only offer it for brunch, but what a great idea! It tasted delicious.
And the service was impeccable. The good did not come all at the same time. The server warned us in advance that plates would be coming as they come out from the kitchen, so don’t from our party started eating while others were still waiting for their food. I feel this would have been awkward and a big negative had the easier not told us in advance.
Overall, Deda is on the pricey side, but I still think well worth a visit.

We went to Deda and had such a great experience. We tried the orange wine, which was awesome — bold, interesting, and a perfect match for the food. The dumplings and khachapuri were both perfect — flavorful, well made, and exactly what you want from those classics. The service was great — friendly and attentive without being pushy — and the vibe of the place was warm and fun, making it an easy spot to relax and enjoy the meal. If you’re around and into good wine and Georgian-inspired food, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We loved everything about Deda… the aroma of the seasonings that intrigues you the minute you walk in , the music that creates the cozy atmosphere, smiles of the stuff, and yes of course the quality and deliciousness of food. Walnuts, spices, adjika, freshness of the bread, quality of meats.. you literally drool over each dish that comes to your table. And the owner who walk around and greets people personally is a great touch. We ate, we drank , we enjoyed. We will be back. Beautiful restaurant. Outstanding service. Delicious food. Highly recommended.
And Alona – our server is the sweetest, most attentive person. You will be lucky to seat at her section, she will tell you everything about each dish and you will be well taken care of.

DEDA in Pasadena is a true hidden gem!
Authentic Georgian dishes and amazing dairy-free and vegan options. I was so impressed by how thoughtful they were with dietary needs , they offered wonderful dairy-free and vegan choices for my child with a dairy allergy and everything tasted incredible.
The dessert Zgapari Blini Torte, was absolutely unforgettable. A place full of heart, flavor and true hospitality highly recommend! ✨

Loved this place ! The menu is different online than what we saw in person so I can’t reference the names of the dishes but we ordered:
1) a stuffed eggplant appetizer . I believe it was stuffed w a walnut puree. It was so good but so small (and therefore felt exp for the size) lol
2) these triangle pastries stuffed w beans. Also very good (not listed on online menus)
3) mountain trout – my dish which was mediocre. Nothing special. I’d skip this if you are able to eat other meats
4) lamb – my husband loved this. The spinach had a very refreshing almost-minty taste (but not mint. The waiter said it was tarragon)
There was a photographer who went around taking photos of ppl while they waited for their food. I thought there was a chance that it might’ve been free but that was wishful thinking. She gives you some hats and a wig to put on for the photo(s). After she takes your photos, she prints them and presents them in frames. They cost 20$ per frame. We felt pressured to buy them so just because aware ! Just say no to the photos to begin with if you don’t want to feel pressured to buy them later.

A Must-Dine Spot for Authentic Georgian Flavors in Pasadena!!!
Deda Restaurant is such a gem in Pasadena! It was our first time trying authentic Georgian food and it was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The location is easy to get to, with two hours of free parking in the back, which makes visiting stress-free.
We were greeted by a friendly host, attentive floor manager, and servers who were knowledgeable and happy to share recommendations. The space is cozy yet spacious, with a patio, central bar, booths, and even a private dining room.
Highlights for us were the Pkhali Mezze (colorful spreads of roasted bell peppers, beets, and spinach), the Eggplant Pkhali Rolls, and of course, the Adjaruli Khachapuri—their famous cheese-filled bread boat that’s an absolute must-try. Our super favorite was the Khinkali beef dumplings—juicy, flavorful, and perfect in every bite. The trout and chicken kebab were also fantastic.
We finished with a light mango dessert that was the perfect sweet ending.
If you’re looking for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality, Deda is a must-dine spot in Pasadena. We’ll definitely be back!
