Food was good, service was also solid. However, I know they offer hookah, but people were smoking cigarettes and this place allowed it. Also, we only had a party of two, and they added gratuity. I'd understand if it was a larger party, but auto gratuity for two people, that's a stretch. Because of the cigarette smoking, I'm never coming back here again.

We came in on a Sunday evening for a small birthday celebration and we had a great time. We booked it for 7 adults but the person who rsvp forgot we had 2 babies with us, but they were able to accommodate our group. There was a wedding booked inside, we were sat outside in their lovely patio, it's a very pretty patio and there's space heaters everywhere. In the quest to be media / tech savvy they have 4 separate QR code menus and they do not link to each other, so there is a drink menu, a dinner menu, a hookah menu and one other menu. That was a bit confusing at first, since everyone initially started off wit ha different menu. But we got the hang of it. it's a pretty big menu, we ordered a combo platter for 4 people and another combo platter for 2 people and a vegetarian sampler. The 4 and 2 people combos are same just sized differently. They come out on enormous metal platter that is placed on a pedestal on your table. The platters came with steak and chicken breast kabobs and then also ground beef and ground chicken kabobs as well (lule? koobideh?) they were pretty juicy and flavorful, they only came with like 2 tiny garlic toums but you can and should request more. Oh and it also comes with like hella pita breads. The rice soaks up the meat juices from the platter and is bomb af. We took home 2 boxes of food, they don't skimp. The alcoholic drinks are kinda disappointing, like the cocktails are all under powered and watered down low on alcohol, but the fruity drinks taste spectacular as a fruit juice drink but not as a cocktail. the quarantini (their take espresso/coffee martini ) is just watered down and doesnt taste like anything. Either get bottles of wine or hard alcohol don't get the cocktails. If you're sitting on the outside patio do be aware that they have hookah service out here, so if you're not down with that you should sit inside. they have live music and dancing as well (we had a senior citizens dinner due to the kids, so we missed it, but I rememeber it being a good time the last time we saw it.) Good spot wouldn't mind returning at all.

I haven't been here since 2019. We were invited to a birthday party Saturday evening. As usual the food was amazing so was the entertainment. A belly dancer show and awesome DJ. We danced for hours. I don't remember the last time I danced this much. The food was delicious. The appetizers and the hot foods tasted amazing. Service was great The only bad part of the evening was the smoke all over the place. So many people smoking cigars, cigarettes and hookah. I understand it's a hookah lounge too and smoke is expected but the smoke of the cigars just bothered me so much. It's not the venues problem cause it is a smoking permitted venue ... it's my problem and I shouldn't come here if I want to avoid all that. Overall a great place for celebrating special events. But if you have issues with smoke this is not the place for you.

Very good food and service. Music was too loud for us to talk. Great vibes. Reasonable cocktail prices.

Good was really good. The place started getting busy as we were leaving. It's a little pricey. A lot of the items we wanted to order that were on the menu were not available. Would go back because what we did order was delicious

The guys and I went here as part of our monthly get together. One of them lives in the Glendale area and has come here frequently with his family, so this was a new experience for me and one of the others. I'm very impressed with all the different kind of hummus they had, and my chicken shawarma plate was really awesome. Everyone in our party enjoyed our food. The only qualms was a mixup on a drink refill near the end of our visit, but since we were already wrapping up for the night and getting ready to head out, The service itself is okay. instead of asking how our dinner was going, we had to flag down our server every time to ask for something. All in all though, it's a dope spot to chill, have dinner, and catch up with friends. Service aside, I'd definitely come back...the food is awesome.

Great after hours location for unwinding and drinking with folks with so much holiday spirit. The appetizers were delicious and the dinner tasted beautifully with the drinks. With the holiday energy in the dinning room, everyone was happy and keeping the love alive.

Extremely happy with our experience with Eden Garden!!! We found this place online and chose it as the place to have dinner on our son's birthday / intimate civil wedding. We called ahead to make a reservation for our group as we were around 30 people and everyone was extremely courteous and professional. We didn't really customize our experience but in our contract we saw that you definitely can for any event! The ambiance was happy and wonderful with the other happy groups in the tables around us, the food was amazing and plentiful, their beautiful belly dancer Anastasia gave an amazing performance and had the best energy. The DJ's music was honestly perfect! He mixed a bit of everything and it went well together even if it were in different languages and from different eras. I hope our group treated you as well as you treated us. We can't wait to come back for anniversary dinners and more! Everyone in our group was impressed with Eden Garden. Thank you!Parking: Paid parking lot across the street if street parking is full.

It's taken me too long to write this review but I needed to give this restaurant the wonderful review it deserves. After searching frantically for a venue to hold our daughter's wedding and meeting with so many over-priced venues, we stumbled on Eden Garden. We met with Mona, who is by far one of the most experienced and kind people on the planet, and decided to hold the wedding there. Every single minute of planning was so simple, and Mona went out of her way to make sure that my daughter's wedding was perfect. The food was fantastic, the option to bring our own wine and champagne, and cake, was saved so much money and allowed us to pick the wines we wanted. The staff went overboard on the day of the wedding to handle every detail, from setting up the music to keeping the bar open, to providing beautiful tableware, tablecloths and napkins (which my daughter picked out - so many colors to choose from), to setting up the flowers, to providing us with a cake table, a gifts table, to arranging the entire reception in the beautiful enclosed patio with room for dancing. The food was served on time and with gorgeous presentation. This was a wedding with many cultures combined, Italian, Jewish...and every person was happy. Mona- you are the very best and I hope the owners know how lucky they are to have you!

I recently had my wife's surprise birthday party of almost thirty people, the food was delicious, the service was amazing, and ambiance was great, DJ put out great songs, except he didn't take our requests which we didn't appreciate, but overall everything was smooth, we had a wonderful time, thank you.
