Service wasn't the best, as they never check in on you, so you have to flag them down for everything.

So my friend and I went this past weekend, I had been boasting to her about how good the food was,…read moreblah blah, blah for quite some time and we needed to come eat here. Come to find out the food is now actually blah blah blah! The cold super thin pita bread was cold & flavorless and oddly comes with a cold cube of butter, what the heck am I supposed to do with that? It won't melt on a cold piece of pita bread. Then the iceberg salad comes out with two small dressing containers to use; this salad had a lot of "bones" [what the hard white parts of lettuce are called]. At least the cucumbers were crunchy, as well as the 2 pieces of tomatoes. I ordered the Koobideh Combo [Beef & Chicken]; and my friend ordered the Chicken Kabob [white meat]. The lacking of flavor in the Koobideh beef & chicken was unbelievable, I asked for a grilled serrano or jalapeno chili and the waitress said they had ran out. I was 2:00 p.m., what do you mean you ran out? We were looking for something to "save" this blandness of both our dishes; thank gawd they have containers of sumac & salt at the table. The basmati rice was bland as well. The beef koobideh, tasted like plain hamburger meat with minimal seasoning. Bottom line, I didn't finish my dish, I just left most of it. My motto is: "If it's not worth the calories, don't eat it." As for the environment: No music, etc. I really don't mean to bash the place; but you guys need to spruce up the place. My seat at the table was ripped; and the table was dirty when we sat down and asked for it to be cleaned (again?). I wish you nothing but the best in this economy!

Totally spill proof (thank you owner for taking my thoughts about packaging into consideration). Ordered my usual - and this time it's exactly what was promised. Hardly any bones in my goat curry order. Food is delicious as always (it was never about the flavor, the place has a great cook). Thank you again for being open to customer suggestions when it came to my concerns the last couple of times. I'm glad I came back :)!!

I don't usually partake in Indian food, but I've had my share in SoCal and much more in NorCal near…read moreSan Jose, so I can say that I'm not that unfamiliar with flavor profiles and the cuisine. Normally, I don't meander to this side of Pasadena, but it pays to explore once in awhile. There's street parking, some parking in the back, or if you really need to you can park across the street and walk over. It's pretty busy, even on a weekday at an off hour (between the lunch and dinner rushes). Walking in, despite having 2 floor cooling units, it was SUPER hot and humid. But people were still dining in, so I'm sure they have loyal customers or when the food hankering is that bad, the heat doesn't matter. Most of the food was moved to the back to survive the heat and it seemed like only one person was working at the time, so I had to ring the bell to summon them. Lady was curt, but clear in her explanations of the menu and how long it would take the food to be ready. I got some veggie samosas, but she also recommended that they come with something. I'm not entirely sure what it was, but I agreed since, sure why not. At the end of the day, I couldn't parse through the menu to really get an idea of what it was. Everything was VERY spicy or had a really sour (flavor profile, not that it went bad) taste to it. I enjoy spicy food, but it meant I couldn't really share with my family which sucked. Not that diverse of a flavor profile that I've had at other Indian restaurants before, so that was a bit disappointing. The fried exterior of the samosa was pretty good. The strange mix that came with it was a mix of spicy, sour, and really dry. The sauce that we got was a super tart vinegar kind of grape tasting sauce? Didn't really go great with anything in the order. Maybe what I ordered wasn't the right thing, but my experience was lukewarm at best.

I thought the red salsa was incredible as well, really spicy but with good flavor. I wish I would have taken some more home with me. My girlfriend thought it was too spicy though, so be careful. To drink we ordered Abuela's Pink Drink, it was basically strawberry-orchata, which was delicious as well. For dessert we ordered the Aroz con Leche, the amount of sweetness in it was perfect, not exaggeratedly sweet and a perfect amount of cinnamon. I can't wait to return and try other items on their menu, I really want to try the Birria-Ramen, the tamales, tortas and burritos.

They're not thick pieces however, they are filling and seasoned good. I could've ate and used more salad. However, the portion amount is typical to everybody else. I'll be back. Glad I didn't believe the comment about the decline in flavor of the chicken. No complaints here. Inside was clean and kinda small for the amount of tables and chairs in there. The outside space was nice, clean, and quiet. That's not big either. However, it will do. They even provide shade. Definite plus.

The platter comes with a chicken kebab skewer, beef kebab skewer, mini shawarma nacho, side salad, and hummus choice. I normally go with the cilantro jalapeño hummus, which had the right amount of heat and delicious. I've also tried their garlic paste and also very good. One of my favorite touches is their house-made pita chips, which is the base for their shawarma nachos. They are perfectly crisp and pair well with their toppings. Their meat is seasoned perfectly, tender and juicy. I usually call ahead for takeout, and my order is consistently ready around 15 minutes. There are a few tables if you decide to dine in. Parking is available on street or back lot, which makes pickup convenient. If you're craving fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food with house made touches, Hummus Labs is definitely worth a visit!
