another fantastic Chicken Soltani MERCY Sadaf! I forget to mention in my other review that they give their customers so much food for the value. it's very hard to find this nowadays in America's current economy. 1 meal is almost enough for 2 ppl. way better value than other restaurants in our area

Juicy Chicken was hardly juicy. Dry would be a better adjective. Three relatively small pieces tor $30. No thanks.
The Shirazi Salad had a bitter dressing. Almost as if the lemon in the dressing was bad. So I washed it and tried the dressing that came with the side salad and it was the same dressing so I gave up for now.

wow! This is purely authentic Iranian (Persian) food. I was born in Iran and both my parents are incredible chefs. I can confirm that all the food from Sadaf is just as good as a homecooked Persian food meal. The rice is delicious, the jujeh morg is juicy and grilled to perfection. The koobideh is tender both chicken and beef. Even the Salmon kebab was probably the best I've ever had. I will be a customer of this restaurant as long as I live. A++ Thank you to all staff at Sadaf keep up the incredible work.

Deeeeelicious!! Ordered the ground beef kabob and the chicken plate. They are both amazing. I ordered 2 different salads and the packaging was smart ! They were wraped in plastic paper so they don't leak ! Smart!
Will definitely order again.
Oh and the portions are great! Very happy !

We've been ordering from Sadaf since they opened and the one in Encino. It's not as good as it was, like they very recently changed recipes, and they charge so much more than they used to. no more lunch prices! The Juicy Chicken and the Koobideh Kabob tasted totally different today, especially the kabob was so much fattier than before. The shirazi salad tasted like it was soaked in apple juice, no idea why they changed the recipe, but it was gross.
