We had a wonderful night with good food, great service and entertainment! We started off with drinks. My kids had lemonade, spouse & friend had their strong coffee & I tried the anise tea. I remember strong anise flavor in my mom's stewed pork & thought the flavor would be just as strong. It's actually quite nice & soothing. We started with appetizers like the appetizer platter with a middle eastern empanada, cheesy rolls, & falafel. We had two different kinds of salad, cheese, pickled vegetables, grape leaf wraps, with side of yogurt drizzled in olive oil, hummus and pitas. Our main course had flavorful rice, lamb, chicken and beef. The beef was a little hard to chew but everything was moist & delicious. I even ate the grilled tomatoes & onions that accompanied the dish. For dessert, we had a dessert cheese drizzled in syrup & pistachios with a baklava that was also topped with pistachio and syrup. We also had belly dancing for entertainment. The dancer is a world champion in ethnic dance. She's actually Russian but she brought out dances with fire and glow in the dark fans! Overall, a wonderful experience. read more

Great food and atmosphere. My go to spot. Always have great service and never disappointed.

Long time ago I haven't been to this restaurant, since I have walked into this restaurant I felt like home. The hostess was very kind, and all of a sudden I have met Zaina, who was very great, who has helped me with her little helper Jolina. And to be honest with you, I don't know how I can leave. The food is amazing, the service is amazing. Let me mention my dinner, and she offered me a mezza plate and a lula kebab, and the food was so delicious and tasteful. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone! The food tastes just like home! read more

The workers are fantastic, and the food is amazing! They went above and beyond. We made a special request, and they fulfilled it without hesitation! read more

Very good and healthier than most places. Fresh! I love the chicken Caesar wraps. I've been getting them quite a few to take to the gym for lunch after I swim. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day with a reservation. They had a set meal for $50 per person and once we got there we were sat right away and served drinks yet we got olives and pita bread for the next 25 minutes with no server checking on us for refills or to say the food was delayed which would have bettered the situation. On top of that, there was an automatic gratuity charge that was on the receipt but not advertised or brought to our attention. Would not come back with the overbearing live music that sounded pre-recorded but hope management changes their system. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, friend loved the hookah as well. BUT, our waiter was one of the worst waiters I've ever experienced. Younger guy with beard and short hair, ignored us the entire meal, would come up and give attitude to us and almost hit my friend with the plates. We stayed so the hookah could be finished and saw our waiter a total of 3 times. It's my friends birthday and she was upset whenever he came around because of his behavior towards her, as if she annoyed him for celebrating her birthday. Every other waiter and waitress was amazing and served us more individually then he did our entire visit. I would love to be back, but if he's the waiter it would be an instant walk out. Disrespect doesn't being in customers, he was so unprofessional, it makes such an amazing restaurant and otherwise amazing staff look like shit. Edit: never coming back, just payed and I might as well be a millionaire. Taxes you for service, then automatic gratuity, THEN asks for a tip? Birthday girl described this place perfect: "thieves". read more

The food was delicious. We ordered the kefta plate, combination Shawarma plate and spicy potatoes. We loved every bite. The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned. The beef shawarma was okay. It would be nice to choose your plate sides but each plate comes with designated sides. If you sit outside bring mosquito repellent. Will definitely be back! read more

Great service, delicious food, and friendly. Definitely recommend. Love it here and I will comeback

Wanted to try this place for a while and we finally did. The outdoor seating area is really nice. Ample spaces away from the Hookah sections. Mediocre typical Mediterranean dishes. The beef shawarma was a bit dry and the tzatziki sauce didn't help either. Crossed off the list of places to rerun. read more

Had to find a new place to eat with my cousin and she had been wanting to try this restaurant. We went for lunch which seems to be there quiet time with all the action in the evenings but the food was great !! My cousin had the Beef Shawarma entrée, and I had the Lamb Shank entrée. It was all sooo goood!!!! A definite, go back and try something else on the menu. read more

Food was very good. Although I wasn't too excited about being seated outside on a cold night along with the heat lamps not getting enough heat to our table. It was hard to flag down a server and when we did it would take a long period of time to receive what we asked for. IF I were to come back I would order for pick up. read more

Came here for a Christmas party. Valet parking was the highlight of the restaurant, as it was very quick and professional. not bad for $5.00 parking valet. location was kinda tricky but thankfully no one was behind me as I slammed on my breaks to make that right turn. looks like a nice restaurant. we were seated by the water fountain in a party looking hall. the ambiance was nice and the servers were just as nice. I got served my drink ASAP but my coworkers were trying all night to get a drink. the appetizers were okay. I wasn't too thrilled with the various tastes. when the main food arrived, the steak was DELICIOUS! but everything else was just MEH. the belly dancer was so fun to watch and she engaged with the whole room. it was great! I saw other tables enjoying the hooka but we didn't join in. there was a cat just chillin in the non used tables chair. so that was kinda weird. :) still had a good time. read more

Great experience on a sad day. We just attended a wake at Eden Garden Café. We were able to have the patio available to our group. People sat down as they were coming in from the cemetery, and the servers checked to see what drinks we would like. (water and soda were on the table already. ). It was a very warm day, so the water being available was very appreciated! Once everyone was there, the food started coming! Everything was spot on! All the dishes were tasty, the proper temperature, and explained as they were brought out. Our servers made us feel comfortable, welcome, and unrushed. They even turned down the waterfall when people were were saying a few words, so we could all hear. We really appreciated the service, as there were several folks on the older side, so a buffet would have been much less comfortable, and welcoming! Great job, Eden Garden Café! read more

Hands down the best place in upland. EVERYTIME I'm in this city I always make sure I stop here. The best!!!!! No joke. They have it all done down and on point. read more

Love this place. It's a very positive relaxing vibe Good music and food Perfect place to go with family/ friends/ on a date read more

I'm very disappointed after hearing the hype of this place. I rarely write reviews unless I truly have an experience worth mentioning (good or bad). The food was mediocre and overpriced, when you ask for anything it takes too long for it to be delivered fresh, much like the two piles of flat, cold pita bread that came out. If zero stars was an option I would still give them a 1 star solely based on their falafel and hummus. Between four of us, we ordered a full spread of appetizers, 1 entree each, drinks, and two hookahs. They use al fakhar, in my opinion is a cheap tobacco, they cost $20+ a hookah which flavor only lasts an hour (max). It seems this place is more of an over glorified hookah bar than a full experience restaurant w/ hookah. At the end of the night their systems went down and they were unable to process my debit card, they asked for cash which none of us had. I ended up having to leave my debit card information, phone number, and name with them to ensure the payment went though. I will be cancelling my debit card due to security reasons and will have to re-setup anything that card is connected to. In the end, I was left with a $200+ bill, disappointed, and frustrated after waiting 30+ minutes for them to try to process my card. If I were in their position I would have offered a free dessert, drink, or discount off the total bill. read more

My family loved it here. Great food and costumer service. The ambience is what we came for but the food, atmosphere and costumer service is what keeps us coming back. read more

Me and my Girlfriends came across this place. Friendly service and good food. Lots of parking. Prices are good and Hookah is the best. Love the "apple" option. Very tasty. We are coming back! read more

This place is delicious! The ambiance and food is amazing! The only issue we had is our waiter didn't check on us much so getting refills was soooo hard. But he was still super nice. It may have just been a busy night. read more

The BEST Mediterranean restaurant, I've gone to so many others yet none compare to Eden. The atmosphere and ambiance is so relaxing, all of the staff is amazing, and their food is to die for, so delicious especially the fattoush, YUM. I come here every single week, and they deliver every time. They have belly dancers Friday and Saturday which I recommend to see if you've never been because they are amazing. They also have really good hookah mixes. All in all this restaurant is 100 stars. read more

If you are a non smoker don't go there or take your oxygen tank with you Food not bad Service ok read more

What a nice surprise! The kitchen is churning out good stuff until at least 11pm. The setting is lovely. Under white lights, and an open garden setting (similar to a biergarten) -- perfect for all you Hookah lovers. For those that prefer no smoke (like me), big ol' fans blow it right on up and out. A small indoor amount of tables, then outside -- a HUGE 2-level outdoor area -- with a hundred or so tables. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/J9lal7Zhwyb-kcihMHzkog?select=BcgTc7LMyGc4dCU7fo4KVg#BcgTc7LMyGc4dCU7fo4KVg This large size of the place creates quite a challenge for the servers who have a lot of ground to cover, as the kitchen is so faaaaarrrrrr away. In particular, especially from my table. Hard to even see from that distance, who's who, and good luck trying to wave someone down. The menu is expansive, with all the standard Mediterranean fare. Lots of appetizer choices to please the most fussy diners. I ordered a Hummus, a Chicken Kebab dinner, and a Tabbouleh salad. The "breakdown": 1. Olives & Turnips ($free) --- The green olives were awesome! Not bitter at all, slightly cracked open -- mmmmm. The turnips were ok, but then again, I don't normally like them at all. 2. Hummus ($5) --- nice size portion, warm pita. I liked, but a little too much tahini flavor. More chickpea please! 3. Tabbouleh ($7) --- awesome! Really lemony, nice portion. A bit pricey for, basically, parsley. 4. Chicken Kebab platter ($12) --- the meat was tender and juicy, well cooked and well seasoned. The rice, not as fluffy as I like it (ala Raffi's Kebab in Glendale) but good and had several blanched almonds atop...yum (and overall seemed a bit of a small portion. Also, presentation-wise, didn't like the pre-packed garlic sauce served in a to-go little plastic cup w/lid. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/J9lal7Zhwyb-kcihMHzkog?select=BcgTc7LMyGc4dCU7fo4KVg#5-Zmi3xoMqbOo5tl1OmnSw 5. Lamb Chops ($15) -- My dining friend allowed me to have one of her lamb chops. OMG. Excellent. A bit salty from the marinade, but cooked perfectly. I'm ordering it next time. For some reason, it's on the appetizer part of the menu. They upgraded it to a dinner plate for a few $'s more. 6. Turkish Coffee ($2.50) --- excellent! Kept me up all night! Overall, it was a nice experience and a terrific spot for miles around. The food is not amazing but it is very good, and I would surely go back again. read more

No bueno. Some guy said it's $15 min a person and when we sat down it was $25 a person. If you like to get ripped off this is your place. Saturday night. And no where on their website do they warn you of that, its koo but upping the price more is shady. I'm so sad~!!! THis was my favorite dinner/hookah place, why do you have limitations now! Freedom works best in the industry unless you're that fabulously great, which you kinda are but not enough to put some regulations. You're not that different (food wise) from other places, and theres plenty of other hookah places. read more

Food is excellent always, but I was and a little disappointed that they were out of their most favored dessert Ashta w honey. I never leave w:o having that but instead the waiter brought us another dessert which I didn't care for. read more

I've been a long time regular of Eden Garden and although the food is amazing, and the ambience even better- it's the service that keeps me coming back for more. All of the staff never fails to treat me like family and that's something that you don't find just anywhere. Special shout out to Mercedes and Nibal! read more

Burned meat that tastes about 3 hours old. Peta bread hard as a rock. Super dry falafel. Unacceptable food. Not ordering from this restaurant again. We ordered here a few months ago and it was not this bad. read more

I have been to this place many times, and I keep coming back. The food is great and the service is friendly.

100% best place to eat for events or for party's. Food was outrageously scrumptious and one of the best restaurants I've gone too. First time I came here I was extreme impressed by the food and all the staff that kept making sure I was fine and to make sure I was ok. They also were very nice. With no doubt 100% 5 star review. read more

The food was really good, however the service was not. My friend and I arrived, and the restaurant was not busy at all yet had to ask serval times for water and then again just to place an order. Our server disappeared for over 45 minutes and we had to ask another server for our bill and togo boxes. It was truly disappointing as the food was good, and I would definitely return for the food, but not so much for the service. read more

Do NOT ORDER ONLINE!!!!! This is the first time and last time I will come to this restaurant. I came on a Friday night to pick up an order and they told me it will take 12 min . No problem then the time was passing and ended up 40 min . When I went to check my order it was already there but hasn't been packed . No one bothered to ask and the food was cold . The owner didn't bother to apologize he was busy doing social life instead of helping his employees . Next time I won't bother to order food at This restaurant and will rather go somewhere else . read more
