Great food and super nice staff! I’ve tried a few different dishes here and they’ve all been delicious. The Beef Soltani is my go to, highly recommend!

My friend invited us to try this Persian restaurant, and I was really excited since it was our first time. I can’t comment on how authentic the food is since we’re not Persian, but for us, the portions were really big. Nice and helpful staffs.
The soup had a strange taste, and the appetizers felt pricey. In my opinion, the meat wasn’t seasoned enough, and even after mashing the grilled tomato to mix with the white rice, it honestly didn’t have much flavor.

Under seasoned, over priced.
My family wanted to come here and raved about the rice. I found the rice and chicken to be very bland. $30 for a plate of bland food is unreasonable. I ordered a soda for $5 with an unlimited refills, to bad for me that the waitress never came back to our table. Poor customer service can be easily offset by great food, and vice versa. When you have both, as a poor experience it is a strong motivator to not come back. Last but not least, there were no fans, and no AC on a day when the high temp was 91. Management needs to get their act together or they won’t last.

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.

The traditional place and food.
That was my first time there and everything was great.
Menu items were fully Persian and traditional.
We got the combo kabob with rice and it was delicious.
Also, we tried our friend’s stew and Barg kabob which was amazing and we loved it.
The food portion was good and enough for 2 people.
The place was cozy and the service was also good.
We definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.

A pretty good restaurant that has nice authentic Persian food. The portions are quite big and very filling, although the kebabs are a bit bland. Staff are nice and the vibe is chill. Overall it is a good Persian restaurant in the area, but if you are willing to go to other locations there are better options for Persian food. The price is fair for the quality and portions.

We were invited to this restaurant. Food was average. I had better Persian food. It was on the blend side. They will spice it up of you tell them.
Service was not up to par. The lady who took our order was confused. Our host repeated it a couple of times. They also mentioned to serve everything on a family platter. However it can as an individual dish. The host was upset as they come here regularly and this was not what they expected for their guest. We assured they it is fine.
The kabob and kubbedieh were very soft and juicy. They also serve extra butter. Kids enjoyed the fried and burger. They said it was good.
They have a nice spot for salah. I wish it was bigger for more people to pray. Us ladies had to wait along time till the guys are done.
Restaurant is very old but clean and taken well care of.

We ordered beef kabob, and combo chicken and beef. The food didn’t have any spices, and the meat tasted fishy. The salad tasted like store brand, not fresh, and I didn’t like the soup.
The food is not the greatest, so I wouldn’t come back.
The service tho is the best, 3 stars only for the great server. She is clam, friendly, and kind. We asked to take the beef kabob back, and she agreed without hesitation. Best service. Thank you!
