One of the best Persian restaurants in LA, and perhaps the best in Pasadena, especially I think, serve Pasadena City College students as it is right in front of college and have a nice selection of healthy and affordable lunch menu. The decoration, paintings, table/seat and the food feel like old Tehran (some relate to good days restaurants. Kabobs are not spicy, always fresh, and properly cooked (persian style. Ghormesabzi with Tahdig, mast or musir must. I usually stick there and can't eat anything anymore (now, by writing it I want to go and put a full plate of it down. Most waiters and the cook are persian. The Kababab-Koch (the big little elder reminds you of the grandfather in the TV s...
Heidar Baba makes me happy. I stop in any time I’m in the neighborhood and try to talk myself into trying something new, but I always order my go-to and never leave disappointed. White meat chicken kabob plate with the salad — both are enormous and so fresh and tasty, it’s hard to not eat the entire thing in one sitting (the plate can easily provide three meals). The rice is impossibly light and the juicy chicken and grilled tomatoes make every bite of all three a treat. I usually get just water, but last night I ordered an Arnold Palmer and was blown away by the amazing flavors in the Persian tea — literally a delight. The staff is hard-working and always positive and makes the guest experi...
Heidar Baba makes me happy. I stop at any time in the neighborhood and try to move to try something new, but I always command my visit and never let it be disappointed. White meat chicken bob plate with salad? both are enormous and so fresh and tasty, it is hard not to eat the whole thing in a session (the dish can easily deliver three meals). The rice is impossible easy and the juicy chicken and grilled tomatoes make every bite of all three a leak. I usually get only water, but last night I ordered an Arnold Palmer and was blown away by the amazing aromas in Persian tea? literally a joy. The staff is hard working and always positive and makes the guest very casual and comfortable. Thank you...
The traditional place and the food. That was my first time and everything was great. Menu points were full of Persian and traditional. We got the combo basket with rice and it was delicious. We also tried the stew of our friend and Barg Kabob, who was amazing and we loved him. The food content was good and enough for 2 people. The place was cozy and the service was also good. We definitely come back to try out the rest of the menu.

Wasn?t the big of a food compared to other available locations in L.A. Shish kababab was not tender. Shawarma usually tasted from ketchup and Mayo, which should not even be part of the sandwich. It wasn't that bad, it felt more like a burger. Found a dead fly in a menu and lived around me. All right? I wouldn't come back. This is my opinion, my partner loves the food here and recommends it. People working there are great.
Ordered the chicken wings mild for the kids great tasting, crispy on the outside juicy on the inside kids eat them all. Also had the chicken burger : patty was too dry. Salad is regular old salad. Fries are good thin cut.
Good food. Don't hesitate in asking for menu suggestions if you are unfamiliar with the cuisine. I tried something new, a stew, and it was delicious. The iced tea was very light. Almost too light.

Got their koobideh (beef) and tahdig. It was good. The koobideh could be more tender but overall, i recommend this place.
The food was OK overall but they had this delicious I think it was lamb something like stew but it was wonderful
