A Homecoming for Compassionate Dining
Choosing Pasadena as the flagship location is more than a strategic decision. Ardestani shared, “Choosing Pasadena, my beloved hometown, as our flagship location was a decision rooted in deep personal connection. The picturesque beauty, rich history, and diverse community are not only close to my heart, but also resonate with our commitment to inclusive and sustainable dining. Pasadena's vibrant spirit, eco-conscious mindset, and unwavering support for local businesses makes it the perfect place to showcase our kitchen—where flavor meets compassion—proving that indulgence and healthy choices can harmoniously coexist on your plate."
