Eden Garden Fusion Grill — Restaurant in Upland

I try many of the restaurants in this area and most range from blah to okay. Not Eden Garden Fusion. Outstanding, flavourful food! This is food to savor and not to simply process. The makdous is rich with the complexity of extra virgin olive oil and sun dried tomatoes. Try it with the garlic spread and pita bread. The lamb shank is so tender, it coats the taste buds. (Yea, the wine choices are limited and you might want to bring your own vino. The malbec is probably their best offering. ) A welcoming environment, on the loud side for me. However, one can ignore the TVs. Take out and reasonably priced. Off the beaten path but worth it. (Ignore the one star reviews. It is clearly one person who generated multiple accounts to trash the place.)

Update: After several visits since the pandemic, I'm concerned the quality control may be a problem. Two of my meals were excellent, but the humus was terrible which is really sad because it used to be so good. Hence I recommend eating in instead of ordering out so that you can taste the food before...

I can best say this place is, "interesting." I could write a super long post, but I'll simply write down the bullet point of my experience. Ambiance- daytime lighting at night; way too harsh and bright. Also, many lightbulbs were out and need replacing. Contemporary music being played. Why? Idk. The place was pretty empty on a Friday night, so there was no wait. Style- my husband said it best, it's going through an identity crisis. Diner/art deco/80's flashback? It's confusing. Food- Good. The presentation could be improved and more could be added to the plate, but what you get is good. Also, there's a variety of items to choose from and A TON of appetizers. However, I would've liked seeing more Mediterranean entree meals and/or fewer miscellaneous options. Drinks- I got wine the house wine, which was nice. My husband got a margarita- it was not the best; Said it tasted like a keylime drink. Service- decent. We got what we asked for and had no issues. Overall, the place has potential, but it definitely needs to find its identity (too...

Came here as a fellow foodie with Allan Borgen's Grub Club for a tasting event. They aren't lyin' about the title. We grazed on plentiful plates of tasty twists on Middle Eastern and Far Eastern fare: Eyes popped at just the IDEA of a falafel spring roll, and the tongue concurred. My tastes are always geared to grilled protein. This chef knows his seasonings, yielding a variety of succulent meats which, I can honestly boast, were the tastiest I have had in my adult memory. I'm just sayin'. The desserts were almost like Nana's. I scarfed down the warm and cosy bread pudding a la mode, in tandem with a hefty helping of knafe, a cheese dessert rolled in moist, shredded filo dough. Really good coffee made for a perfect meal. Great, fun staff in a restored, seriously Deco, Sunkist building just a block off old downtown Upland; a jewel of a monument of the City's...
