    My friends and i spent the day in Pasadena and we wanted Mediterranean food for dinner, so we decided to try Asteria. It was first time going there and, there wasnt a parking lot, so we had to park on the street. Restaurant was small and intimate, we ordered a family meal, about $20 per person, you get pita bread, salad, rice, and kabobs, chicken, beef and filet mignon. Me and my friends thought every was delicious , and we cant wait to go back.

    Lamb chops platter and a filet mignon and chicken plater was our order. Overall our food was amazing. Fresh, good ingredients, very flavorful, well portioned and served with a customer service to match the food. Armenian art and music add on a good ambiance that will add to your dinning experience. Great place to try some amazing food. Only thing is the parking. There is no parking lot so you have to drive around and find a spot. Overall I rate Asteria Restaurant a solid five stars.

    Hidden gem!!!! We were going to another Mediterranean place, but that place did not have seating. So we quickly Yelped and found this place!! We parked in the street. I think they recently opened. There was nobody inside. Beautifully decorated and with a piano up in the window! We picked our table and was immediately served hummus and pita chips. I'm not a hummus person, but this fish was delicious, but the thin and crispy pita chips put the combo over the top! I wanted to try everything so we decided on the chef's combo cuz it had the lamb chop and other meats with rice and pita. Oh... don't forget the side salad that comes on the plate! I usually don't like salad, but these had the Persian cucumbers, tomatoes, and a wonderful dressing! Meats were tender and juicy. Of course the lamb was the best! Don't neglect the rice! Perfectly cooked! Even the roasted jalapeno was on point! We also ordered baba ganoush. Also amazing! Hummus and the baba ganouch is the perfect glue to hold everything together! The lady who served us is precious! She barely spoke English and tried her best to communicate. Well it ended up that she worked in the kitchen. The server called out or something. Absolutely love and admire her effort! That combo was only $24! The baba ganoush, like $5/6? If I went to Georgie's or some other restaurant, it would have been so much more expensive! Trying to take my others friend there to introduce them! Until next time!

    Highly recco for anyone in the area, this was bomb!!The hummus and chips are complimentary and honestly one of the best if not the best ive ever had. We wanted to try different meats so got the chefs combo option. Everything super perfectly seasoned and fresh. Will for sure come back.

    Humus and pita chips for starters Ordered Chef's Combo

    The starter's humus, without ordering is very tasty and the pita chips. Nice relaxing crisp music in the background that soothes you. Chef's Special is delicious Piano for live music

    My wife wanted a chicken wrap for dinner tonight. I found Asteria, a quaint restaurant away from the traffic and people of downtown Glendale. Located on the corner of Pacific and Palm, this restaurant has the look and feel of a family restaurant serving Mediterranean style food. I ordered a chicken wrap for my wife and a falafel for myself. My wife loves the chicken but did not care for the yogurt sauce. She likes the Greek version that uses Tzatziki sauce. My falafel was good. I liked that they made it with dill pickles. Large wraps for $10. Great value. DJ's rating; 4.35/5.00 Would I come back? Yes.

    Filet mignon, chicken and lamb!

    I found this place by accident, and I'm so glad I did. At first I was a little hesitant because the restaurant was fairly empty, so I read some reviews while I waited. They all said the food was great and they were absolutely right. The flavors were fantastic and everything was perfectly cooked, not overdone at all. I have to give a big thumbs‑up to the chef; the food was that good. I truly recommend this place, especially since they just opened not too long ago. It would be great to get the word out so they can start drawing in the crowd they deserve.

    This is not the best Armenian restaurant in the world. It is also not the most glamorous, the most…read moretrendy, nor the most ambitious. But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut. By the middle of the bowl, they will say that it actually is not as bad as they first thought. By the end of the bowl they will declare that this hummus ranks among the greatest they have ever tasted. Carousel does not overwhelm you. It seduces you. And you'll be back.

The flavors hit the spot, and the extra dressing on the side took it to another level. The lule was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the rice was on point--fluffy and moist.

Yesterday we finally had time to come by and it was just okay. I love to see them thriving and see how supportive their client base is. Personally, I was underwhelmed. I have Armenian, Persian, Middle Eastern, and all similar foods ALL the time (and I am Armenian). The Luleh didn't look appealing, but it was actually good. I liked that it wasn't over-seasoned like most places. The chicken kabob was just okay. Nothing really stood out about it, except that it was a little undercooked in the middle, yet still charred on the outside. The flavor of the rice was alright, but the consistency was too watery/ mushy. I liked the humus - the flavors weren't overbearing. Overall, it was okay. The portion was good but the place in general is a little overpriced. Service was alright, the girl taking our order was nice but nothing stood out. PS - no trash cans. When you're done, you have to walk over to a large dumpster to throw your trash in.

When we first walked into the restaurant we thought we were the only patrons, then we found out the host just likes to seat people in the private booths which are separated from the main dining room by straw dividers. I read on the other reviews that they thought the server was not very nice, however my experience was the opposite - she provided helpful input when we asked for advices on the cuisine, and even recommended us to try the khinkali with sour cream which she provided and didn't have to. On to the food - we ordered the eggplant appetizer, it's similar to baba ghanouj but this one is a bit spicier and so yummy with the bread that came with it. We also ordered khinkali which is Georgian's version dumplings (we ordered the boiled version but there's also fried ones available). The skin is on the thicker side and was very chewy, the filling was well spiced with herbs, when you cut into it the juices come flowing out, yum! Our fav dish was the chimeruli which is baked hen drenched in a garlicky cream sauce that was more of a soup to me and i could not stop drinking it down! The hen was roasted so nicely with crispy skin, and along with the sauce just made the whole dish so hearty. Things are on the pricier side but I would still definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who's adventurous in trying different cuisines. It was interesting to note that they had two menus, one for Georgian foods, and the other for Armenian foods. Btw the restaurant charges a "non cash fee" for all non cash payments.
