Awhile back my friend was walking by and peaked her head in to inquire about Georgian Cuisine. The bar manager was so friendly and invited her to sit at the bar and proceeded to enthusiastically tell her about it and their signature cocktails. It was such a wonderful experience she couldn't wait to come back. A few months later we met for brunch. The initial spot our other friend picked was packed, so my friend suggested we come here. It was the perfect choice! Deda's menu honors the rich culinary traditions of Georgian cuisine, as do the handcrafted cocktails and natural Georgian wine offerings. The sophisticated décor emits an elegant ambience and the staff are welcoming & friendly. Our server was Kailo and he was an absolute doll! He was so excited to tell us about the menu, cocktails, wine, & the culture. It was obvious he loves working here. He was also helpful in our decision-making process. The food is served family style, so dishes are meant to be shared. We decided on the Eggplant Pkhali Rolls, Imeruli Khachapuri, & Khinkali Kalakuir. I was intrigued by the cocktails so I got the Muraba (Vodka, housemade pear syrup, pear liqueur, & lemon.) Kailo let us try some Georgian wine & Georgian sparkling rosé. Both were lovely & crisp. I'll be sure to order a glass next time. My cocktail came in a nice clay vessel with pebbled ice. It was light & refreshing. The Eggplant Pkhali rolls were excellent! The walnut puree filling had such a good flavor. The Imeruli Khachapuri was a classic round Khachapuri filled with cheese. The dough was light and the cheese ratio was just right. The Khinkali Kalakuir dumplings were huge! My friends enjoyed them and said they were tasty. We really enjoyed our experience here. Everyone was so nice, the food was exceptionally good, my cocktail was delish, and Kailo was awesome! We're already planning our next visit. *Validated parking in the lot on the right side of the restaurant.
So, Georgian food -- my first time, and honestly? I had no clue if I was about to eat a feast or a fever dream. But that lamb shank? Chef's kiss. Tender enough to fall apart if you look at it wrong, juicy like it just ran a marathon in a sauna. Absolutely zero complaints there. Then came the Khinkali Kalakuri. Look, I'm not saying it's a Chinese dumpling in a trench coat, but... it's bigger, bolder, and somehow tastes like home -- if home was a cozy village in the Caucasus. The other dishes? Let's call them 'adventurous.' Definitely not what I grew up on, but hey, that's the whole point -- traditional flavors doing the cha-cha on my taste buds. Now, the dining room? Gorgeous. Really well done. Feels like you stepped into someone's stylish mountain lodge. Location is prime -- right at the start of Lake Avenue -- but parking? Oh, parking is the final boss. You either circle the block like a vulture or cough up for valet. Your call. Service, though? Top-notch. Attentive staff, no ghosting, no attitude. They actually care -- which, let's be honest, is rarer than a parking spot around here.
Best Georgian restaurant we have been to so far. We ate so much delicious food. Everything is prepared by 3 georgian babushkas in the back. The wine is way better than any Italian or American wine you can find for a reasonable price. Very friendly staff, the booths are very comfortable and have pillows on each seat as well. Nice dim lighting creating a warm effect. 100000% will always come here everytime we're in LA
Our first taste of Georgian cuisine--and what a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality felt as warm and inviting as a traditional Georgian home. We feasted on eggplant pkhali rolls, Adjaruli khachapuri, and, of course, juicy khinkali. The highlight for me was the pkhali, filled with silky walnut paste and fragrant spices. Paired with a few Georgian wines, it was a delicious journey through the country's culture and cuisine. A true hidden gem right in our backyard!
We had such a wonderful dinner at Deda! It was our first time trying Georgian cuisine, and the entire experience from the food and wine to the service and atmosphere made for such a memorable evening. Our waiter, Kai, was fantastic. He's a young Pasadena native and was incredibly friendly, genuine, and down-to-earth. He made us feel welcome and well taken care of without ever hovering. I really appreciated that we never felt rushed or like they were trying to turn the table. The ambiance was exactly what I want when going out to dinner. The restaurant has a beautiful, relaxed vibe, and the music was at the perfect volume; enough to create an atmosphere, but quiet enough that I could actually have a conversation with my dad and sister without having to yell across the table. That alone is becoming hard to find! The food was delicious. We shared the khachapuri (the boat-shaped cheese bread), eggplant, salmon, and lamb, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. We also tried a bottle of Georgian Saperavi wine, which paired beautifully with the meal. For dessert, we ordered the ponchiki. My sister wasn't a fan, but my dad and I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of a warm, cream-filled beignet. It wasn't overly sweet, which I loved, and it was served warm. My only regret was not ordering coffee with it that would have been chef's kiss. Between the delicious food, great wine, comfortable ambiance, and especially Kai's warm service, Deda gave us exactly the kind of dinner experience we were hoping for. It felt special without being stuffy, and we were able to relax and enjoy our time together. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend--and if you happen to get Kai as your server, you're in great hands!
First time trying Georgian food but thought overall a good experience! Overall food ate heavy, so be aware when number of plates being ordered. We got their Georgian cheese assortment which had a variety of different flavored cheeses, which we found interesting to try once. They were saltier end cheeses but did pair well with the drinks we ordered. For other apps, The Warm eggplant salad was a heavily seasoned dish reminiscent of a Chinese eggplant dish. The Lamb torma was solid and we loved the accompanied yogurt garlic cream sauce. For entrees We got their Adjaruli Khachapuri which was good, and ate like a heavy cheese forward pizza. The Khinkali Kalakuri dumplings were nicely meat forward and reminded me more of a perogi than an Asian dumpling, and did enjoy it. We finished with their Georgian donuts, which reminded me of a Malasada with cream-filling. This was our favorite part of the meal.
A very solid experience. The team was all so welcoming and friendly. Service was great, offering explanations of food, handling an issue with a drink, and acknowledging a birthday. It was really nice. Cool atmosphere, but music was a bit loud and made conversation, and hearing server difficult. Drinks were good but inconsistent. My wife ordered a second Muraba Cocktail, and it was completely different from first. The server had it remade, and it was closer, but it was still different. Nice pours for all drinks. We enjoyed most dishes, but salt was a bit overdone. It's really a shame because so many other great spices and ingredients really should have been the star. Croquettes were maybe the favorite dish for both of us. The sauce was so good, and we loved the flavor and texture of the Croquettes. My only note is, they should provide a spoon to get more of the sauce in each bite. Will make it a point to ask next time, but they should include one. The worst taste was the chicken in the chicken soup, which was ridiculously salted. Unfortunate, because the broth was absolutely delicious. Khinkali Kalakuri Dumplings were awesome. Huge and delicious bites with ground beef and juicy broth. The Lamb Abkhazura was really tasty, too, but we didn't care for the pickled veg. Saperavis Pelamushi was light and tasty. It is way worth the visit and we'd return. Recommended!
First time here and it was a wonderful experience, I wasn't familiar with the Georgian Cuisine but our server made it very easy for us and gave us good recommendations, food was delicious! And portions were huge. Mostly carbs so don't go if you are on a diet. Valet service in the front so parking is not an issue, ambience is very cozy and comfortable. I loved this place and will definitely back!
Deda Restaurant in Pasadena serves highly praised authentic Georgian comfort food, featuring standout Adjaruli khachapuri (cheese boats) and khinkali (dumplings). Located in a cozy, atmospheric space on South Lake, it offers a warm, family-friendly vibe with attentive service. It is widely recommended for its delicious, unique cuisine and extensive Georgian wine list. Signature Dishes: The khachapuri (especially the cheesy Adjaruli) and khinkali (soup dumplings) are must-orders. Other favorites include lamb shanks, eggplant rolls, and fresh Georgian bread. Brunch: Deda also offers a distinctive brunch that brings Georgian flavors into a relaxed daytime setting--think street food classics made brunch-ready:
Great atmosphere and excellent service from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. The ambiance was lively yet comfortable, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was very good overall, with thoughtful presentation and solid flavors. The standout was definitely the wagyu beef soup; rich, flavorful, and memorable. The only dish that didn't quite match the rest was the pork, which wasn't cooked properly and fell short compared to everything else. Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.
Georgian food with a fun atmosphere. Went for a Saturday dinner. There is parking garage next to the restaurant (north) where you can get validation. They also have valet and if you're lucky, some street parking. Was pretty busy in the restaurant and was glad we had an rsvp. Georgia (the country) is known for some good, affordable wines - so grabbed a bottle (Gurashvili's). I'm not a sommelier, but definitely seemed to go well with the cheese and meat dishes we had. Also, something to note: Georgian food is typically saltier than your typical cuisine - so you'll probably have to be mindful on which dishes to order if you prefer less salt. We ordered the following: - Warm eggplant salad - kind of reminded me of a Chinese stir fry of sorts. This was on the saltier side. - Adjaruli khachapuri (cheesy pie looking dish with an egg yolk) - very cheesy, this could be a meal on its own. The cheese is a bit salty. - Lamb mtsvadi (lamb kebab) - the potatoes were a little on the salty side, the lamb was cooked very well - enjoyed this quite a bit. - Khinkali kalakuri (meat dumplings - boiled) - reminded me of large version of xlb at Taiwanese restaurants. This was pretty tasty also. - Khinkali with cheese (fried) - think it being fried went well with the cheese inside. The cheese seemed to taste the similarly to the cheese pie dish. One other thing to note: they do bug you to take pictures (which they sell after dinner). It was a lot - we politely ask the photographer to stop after the 4th one. They came back with photos framed to purchase ($20) and def was pressure to do so. That being said, the pic was pretty good and is now on my nightstand lol Would I come back? Maybe. If I do, probably would get a few different appetizers (and the same dumplings), 1 meat dish, along with wine and dessert.
Always enjoy dining at Deda. From service to food everything always surpasses our expectations. The place is great for dinner for two larger gathering. There are homemade drinks or very refreshing and highly recommended. My personal favorite is the xnkalis and the eggplant salad 10/10.
Spent my birthday here and can I just say it was truly a lovely experience. When I told my friends we were eating Georgian food, they were unsure because they'd never had it and didn't know what to expect. We left the restaurant in amazement because Georgian food has a hearty richness that is one of a kind. We had a server named Riley that truly immersed us in the culture and even provided the Georgian way of eating dumplings! We got to even do a fun photo shoot wearing Georgian hats. Everyone was kind and was a lovely experience! My favorite thing by far were the dumplings. Can't wait to come back to have them again!

Great food. Incredible service from Fabio. My first time here, I need to come back and try more things. The appetizers were great. It was a lot of food though. read more
What an absolutely phenomenal restaurant. I had never had Georgian food before. But after this dining experience, I want to take a trip to Georgia just to try all of their food. There was a very mixed crowd at the restaurant. I loved the diversity in the room. I loved how intimate the restaurant felt. There was a divider between my booth and the one to my 9 o'clock. The divider wasn't one that felt like we were back in Covid times, but it did kind of give each booth, each table a little bit of privacy. The cushion inside of my booth made this seating arrangement so extra comfortable. The bar area was particularly beautiful. Above the bar top where some sconces in a deep wine color. I thought that gave the room a really nice touch. It really brought together the entire look of the bar area. I did not go ahead and sit there, but from afar, it just looked really beautiful. The menu is not huge. But, the things that we ordered were phenomenal. The eggplant salad was not something that really caught my attention initially. It was recommended to me by somebody who also knows my taste in food. They assured me that this warm eggplant salad would definitely become quickly one of my favorite dishes here. They were not wrong. I am not big on eggplant mostly because I don't like the mushy, gushy texture that I'm so often slapped in the face with. Somehow or another this warm eggplant salad is something now that I really want to return for. The skin of the eggplant is left on and seems grilled or almost semi charged somehow. There's a crispiness to it that makes this warm eggplant salad so good. Not to mention, the flavors that are created with all of their spices and the jalapeños and the onions.... It's amazing. The texture of the eggplant, I think, could even be used in place of meat. I have been to a few Asian vegetarian restaurants where they use mushrooms instead of chunks of meat, like as a substitute for chicken. Based on the texture of this eggplant, I think they could do the same in this case. The beef soup that I had was also very delicious. Unfortunately, because of the high-quality of beef that is in the soup I have a feeling that is why the portion size is not very much. Split between two people, it will still leave you wanting more. I don't quite know how to explain the soup, except to say that it feels very much like a tomato broth based lentil soup with beef chunks. Regardless, the flavor was hearty and felt very down home and comfortable. It was cozy. The dumplings that I had were good as well. I feel like the noodle wrapper that is used to make the sack of the dumpling is very thick and therefore you can't eat the top knob of it. It's just too much. The flavor in the broth the soup everything inside of that sack is delicious. It obviously is reminiscent of when I go to other Chinese dumpling houses for XLB's. I can't say that these dumplings were phenomenal, but they were still very good and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try dumplings of this type but of a different culture. The last item that we ordered was almost like an open faced calzone, if you will. The boat of bread that we had was full of this rather dense cheese. The cheese was very mild in taste, sort of like a mozzarella. It was a little bit salty for me. However, I was told that if I had had more of the egg that was baked into it that the yolk mixed with that cheese, it would not have been as salty as it was. I wish there were more bread. It was like eating the thinnest slice of pizza with tons of cheese on top. If you like cheese, and I do, this is definitely a great dish. It's perfect for sharing. I can't say that it has all the robust flavors that a pizza would, like if you were to include different cuts of meat and veggies but it was great with my soup. Our waiter was very patient with us and was great at giving advice and suggestions as to what to order. I love that the manager stopped by to welcome us to her restaurant, but also to make sure that everything was going well. I had no need to visit the restroom so I couldn't tell you anything about it, but if the cleanliness in the restaurant is at all a reflection of the way that they would maintain and take care of the restrooms, I can only assume that it is very neat and well kept. I had been lucky enough to find metered parking on the street. However, I did learn that there is a parking structure or parking lot just behind the restaurant. The restaurant does validate. They will give you a separate exit ticket. So, be sure you ask your server or the hostess for that validated exit ticket if you should need one. After an amazing experience like this, this is definitely a place that I would like to bring my mother. She is somebody who loves eggplant and I definitely want her to try this warm eggplant salad. I have a feeling there are other dishes she will thoroughly enjoy, but this definitely is one that makes me think of her now. read more
Hold up! We are talking about Georgia, the Eurasia COUNTRY and not Georgia like Atlanta Georgia. Location & Parking : behind the Chase Bank building off of Lake and Deda validates up to 2 hours of parking (saving $13.50). Hostess: She looks like Selena Gomez from 10 years ago. Ultra gorgeous. Girl crushes her instantly. Ambiance & Space & Bar: 10/10 magnificent! Great vibes! Great for business or celebrations. Impressive for large groups. Beautiful. Service: impeccable and definitely know great customer service Food: cultural awakening. The restaurant is filled customers who were Eurasian and that's a fabulous sign for authenticity. I depended on yelp for photos because of my first time encountering words such as khinkali and adjaruli khachapuri . Their signature dish is a khinkali that looks like a Chinese mega huge soupy Xiao Long Bao but the flavors are bold in spaces but still soupy. Khachapuri is a fun interactive cheese boat bread. We also ordered the creamy shrimp and served as a great sauce for the other dishes. read more

We truly appreciate your generous review! We’ll have more warm bread…
This is a very niche cuisine, Georgian, as in the country and not American southern comfort food. I wish they offered small plates of these unfamiliar dishes so I could order several without breaking the bank (this being a very posh high-end place). The beef 'doughboy' dumpling has very savory wagyu and broth inside but the very thick wrapper fills you up after a few bites. (The Chinese equivalent would be called a 'bao' not dumpling.) The chicken with walnut sauce is cold sliced chicken breast swimming in walnut puree' sauce. I wish our waiter had told us it's a cold soupy dish but it is what it is. Dark meat would have made this dish more palatable. My friend loved her rosé Georgian wine. A note on the latin pop music they play in the dining room, not my cup of tea, but quite surprising given Georgia has produced some of the world's greatest classical musicians in the past 15 years: pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, violinist Lisa Batiashvili, opera singers Anita Rachvelishvili, Nino Machaidze, Paata Burchuladze, George Gagnidze (the last of whom I interviewed for my blog before his Hollywood Bowl debut in "Otello".) I understand classical music is consumed by only 2% of the U.S. population, still it seems to me a missed opportunity to introduce great Georgian culture in addition to the cuisine. In sum, a welcome new addition to Pasadena's diverse foodie culture, very chic and Instagrammable, come here for drinks even if you don't care for the food. read more

Russian comfort food at its finest! I've never had food from Georgia before so I wasn't sure what to expect going into it. Everything we ordered was delicious and very filling. I really like the cheese boat "adjaruli khachapuri" and the giant dumplings "khinkali kalakuri" The chicken mtsvadi (skewers) were a bit dry to my liking so I won't be ordering that again. I definitely want to go back and try more of their main dishes like the lamb shank (Chaqapuli) and the whole trout. Ambiance is adorable. Service was friendly but it did take them a while to get us boxes and out check once we were done. There was a very friendly lady taking photos and you can purchase them from her in a beautiful frame if you want a memory of your visit. She even had some traditional Georgian headwear to wear in the photo which was super cute. read more

What an absolutely lovely dinner we had tonight at Deda. Took our nephew and niece here for a grad celebration and were blown away by all the very tasty, beautifully prepared dishes. I particularly loved the boiled khinkali with cheese -it had a melt in your mouth quality and I couldn't get enough of it. We also enjoyed the lamb shank, sturgeon, and of course the khachapuri with the egg in the middle--YUM! I also recommend the fizzy lemonades -we tried tarragon and pomegranate-super refreshing. We shared a slice of the honey cake for dessert which was so rich yet not too heavy . In fact, we all noticed that the food was all very tasty, satisfying and filling yet we didn't feel weighed down or heavy. I highly recommend Deda and also want to say the service was excellent, friendly and helpful. read more
Deda is such a special addition to the LA food scene -- the first Georgian restaurant in Los Angeles, and it's absolutely worth the visit! We started with two standout cocktails: Dediko - light, fruity, and super refreshing. Muraba - rich and jammy with warm spice notes. For food, the Khinkali Kalakuri dumplings were juicy and flavorful -- don't forget to slurp the broth inside! The Adjaruli Khachapuri was the star of the table: boat-shaped bread filled with melted cheese, butter, and a runny egg -- indulgent and perfect for sharing. The Pkhali Mezze brought a colorful variety of walnut-based veggie spreads (beet, spinach, and eggplant) with so much depth of flavor. The interior is warm, modern, and inviting -- think elevated but cozy, with traditional touches that feel like a nod to Georgia's roots. Service was so friendly and attentive -- our server took time to explain the dishes and made us feel truly welcome. Whether you're new to Georgian cuisine or already a fan, Deda is a must-try. You can really taste the love in every bite. read more

The food was a solid 10/10. We ordered almost everything on the menu (my dad is Georgian-Armenian), and we were all pleasantly surprised by how authentic everything tasted. My favorites were the khinkali and the eggplant salad - both were excellent. The only thing I'd skip next time is the chips and dip. The dips lacked flavor, and at $25, it didn't feel worth it. The prices are definitely on the higher side - we were a party of 6 and our bill came out to around $1,000 - but overall, it was an excellent experience and we did order A LOT. Oh and the Georgian wine is a must try! Service could use a little help- a bit unorganized. read more
I had been wanting to come here for at least a year, and it was worth the wait! The food was so good and flavorful. If you're unfamiliar with Georgian food just ask the staff for recommendations, they were friendly and helpful. I will def be back and suggest croquettes and chicken baje. read more
First time here and first time trying Georgian food. Restaurant is beautiful and customer service was excellent. Not familiar with this type of food, curious, we tried a few popular dishes. The beef dumplings were huge and a hint spicy. The sour beat salad was also good, hubby liked it more than me. The assortment of dips, beet, bell pepper and spinach was unique and delicious. My favorite were the beets and bell pepper! The dish with the bread, cheese and egg was good but a little too salty, I think if some tomatoes were added on top, it would've balanced the flavor better. This restaurant and cuisine is unique and definitely worth coming to check out. Looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes! Free Parking located in the back parking structure, entrance is on Lake, be sure to get restaurant validation! read more

The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic. I tried the khachapuri, and it was perfectly baked--warm, cheesy, and full of flavor. The khinkali were also very good, juicy and well-seasoned. If you love lamb chops, you definitely have to try them here--they were cooked perfectly, tender, and full of rich flavor. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed while enjoying your meal. Overall, a fantastic place to experience Georgian cuisine. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back! read more

Delicious! We had only had khachapuri before, so I was really curious as to what other Georgian food was. The warmed eggplant salad tasted like braised Chinese eggplant - really savory and with peppers. We also ordered khinkali kalakuri - boiled, which was like an XLB but bigger. Khachapuri was more delicate than the other versions we had and was tasty. Our server, Alona, recommended the lamb chops, which we all enjoyed too! We enjoyed everything we ordered, and the service and ambiance was wonderful too. read more
Food: I was particularly intrigued by their khinkali as someone interested in exploring different cuisines and seeing something similar yet different to Chinese cuisine. The Khinkali Kalakuri was a great taste of Georgian cuisine. It was very much like a large soup dumpling but the flavor profile was more Mediterranean with additional spices. Would order this again. We also had the Lamb Mtsvadi but next time I think we would go with the Chaqapuli Lamb Shank which looks more like a stew and might pair better with their house puri. The pomegranate lemonade tasted nice also! Dessert, Saperavis Pelamushi, was not too sweet and the grape flavor definitely was nice. The crunchy bits also added a nice texture. Service: Many thanks to our server Fabio for his attentiveness. It was a bit cold outside coming in the winter and we were given a blanket which was very thoughtful. Ambiance: Outdoor seating was nice overall! Especially grateful the allowed dogs and it was nice to have our dog with us to enjoy the evening! My mom liked their lighting and the Georgian music was an interesting genre to listen to. read more

. What a beautiful and fun restaurant to have lunch or dinner at. We came here with my mom and sister and had an awesome experience. The customer service was amazing so was the ambiance here. The tarragon cocktail was delicious. They have other drinks too but we will try it another time. We ordered a few things to share. The summer salad and the khinkali were my favorite. The ajarski with eggs was ok , I have had better ones. My kids loved the fried khinkali. They have many dishes to choose from so we have to come back and try more items. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely place. read more
It was my first time trying Georgian food, and I found that their cooking style is quite similar to Chinese cuisine. For example, the wagyu dumplings tasted exactly like Chinese dumplings, except the wrapper was too soft, which made the texture less enjoyable. The eggplant salad turned out to be stir-fried eggplant. It tasted just like a typical Chinese dish, which was really surprising. I also tried their signature Adjaruli Khachapuri, topped with salmon, which made it taste like an eggs Benedict, definitely a creative twist. Another pan-fried fish dish also came with side dishes cooked in a Chinese style. Overall, the whole meal felt very much like eating Chinese food, which I found quite interesting. The service was very good. The restaurant décor seemed to reuse most of the interior from the previous restaurant that used to be there. It felt like they just changed the name and the cuisine. read more

Today we visited Deda Restaurant for the first time, and we were truly impressed. We had a wonderful table, and our server, Alyona, was excellent. She kindly offered to make me an Aperol Spritz even though it wasn't on the menu, and gave thoughtful, well-informed recommendations on all the dishes. We ordered five meat khinkali, chicken, a salad, and khachapuri. Everything was very fresh and absolutely delicious, which made the experience even more memorable. For dessert, we had the Napoleon cake - it was perfectly moist, fresh, and incredibly tasty. It's also a beautiful place with a calm, relaxed atmosphere. It's not noisy at all, which makes it perfect for conversations and truly enjoying your time with friends. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's a place where you can enjoy high-quality, delicious food and have a great time with friends. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much. read more

I love trying the foods of the world and am glad I had a chance to visit this upscale restaurant with comfortable seating and colorful pillows that adorn each side of our booth. If I had to describe Georgian food, I would say it's cross of European/Middle-east Armenian foods that are fired off a spit, wrapped in grape leaves or blended with legumes and root plants. An overall healthy dinner with two-hour parking validation at the first driveway. read more
