$$ Pasadena Mediterranean, Greek
A SoCal Mediterranean chain that hangs its hat on open-flame charbroiling—every protein marinated in-house and cooked to order with antibiotic-free chicken and Cedar River Farms beef. The fast-casual format works well for families wanting scratch-made kabobs and sides without a long sit-down commitment. Reviews run polarized at this Paseo location, so stick to the core kabob plates where the grill technique delivers the most reliable results.
Must-Try Dishes: Charbroiled Chicken Kabob Entrée, Hummus, Beef Koobideh Kabob Entrée
What Makes it Special: Every protein is marinated in-house and charbroiled over an open flame to order, using only antibiotic-free chicken and Cedar River Farms beef.
